MMA fighter here. I need to cut muscle. Biceps are accidentally too large from old job bending pipe. Im a few lbs off of being able to make my lower weight class. Google has thus far been useless in providing a routine for intentional atrophy. So here we are. Help me obi/fit/ Kenobi you're my only hope.
Font train Biceps

Either don't train them at all
Or overtrain them and undereat, so they evaporate
How long you been an MMA fighter? One minute?
Just cut water faggot. Jesus
Just lie down and rot
>>36763736
Dont go for lower weight class unless youre a super heavy or something
Your making yourself weaker and slower

6 years. And I tried those but I'm shooting in the dark. Otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help. Looking for numbers. Protien/bodyweight/day? Rep/set/%max? Frequency? Was honestly hoping for a perodized system for muscular atrophy from someone with experience in this as opposed to walking blind.

I already cut water to 155 looking to cut to 145. I can probably make 150 or 148 just need a little more to get into the bracket
>>36763736
why do you want to lower you weight class? are you a pussy?
you should try to go in the superior weight class instead
>>36763870
I'm just short for 155 and I have short arms on top of it. I've been fighting guys with like 6" of reach on me and they're a good 5 inches taller

How much time do you have ?
What's wrong with a regular cut ? if you don't work your biceps they'll eventually get smaller.
>>36763878
Reps: 20+
Sets: 2+
%Max: 40-50
Protein/bodyweight/day/frequency: when are you looking to make the cut for?
>>36763939
6months to a year. I'm competitive at my current class I just want to step my game up so it's not a huge rush. But I haven't done any actual bicep lifts or specific exercises in over a year and they haven't shrunk. Possibly from Bjj. Can't stop training so passive approach isn't going to work.

Just eat at a small deficit for 3 month and maintain afterwards then.I still don't understand the focus on biceps ,you're obviously not going to lose 10 lbs in your biceps only and it looks like a very complicated way for no real advantage
T3 can eat muscle.

Not looking to lose 10 lbs. Honestly if I really killed myself I could sweat the +17lbs to make 145 but I'd rather only sweat 15 lbs. Right now I cut right around 10 lbs at like 3%body fat to make 155 so if I could lower my lean mass by just a little it would be a comfortable cut.

this
But i wouldn't recommend. Don't start cutting muscle on thyroxins
If you fuck up,you you get hyperthyroidism and you will have to take them for the rest of your life
>>36764119
A cut is a cut ,you'll lose both fat and muscle. If you don't have enough energy to sustain your weight you'll lose some
>>36764146
I was actually just getting ready to ask about that thanks lol. I'd prefer to go natural anyway, especially since the banned substances list is like 8 miles ling.

Right but I'm trying to lower my over all baseline by removing some less than useful muscle from the equation. Just trying to be a little more efficient with my body
Take amphetamines
