I have been wondering for quite a while now about the
topic about muscle versus fat. I play for a highly competitive
volleyball team and needless to say, I have gained a lot of muscle
around my thighs. I also have a large butt
and apparently its muscle from what I am told. The thing is, I can only
really tell its muscle when I am flexing it or in particular for my
thigh, leaning on one leg. When I sit, all of it sort of spreads out
like it is fat or something. Does this mean that there is extra fat
layers between my muscle? I would absolutely LOVE to know, mainly
because I want to work for a smaller butt, but don't want to make it
bigger with more muscle (God knows I already have to get bigger jeans
for the backside  )Thank You |

no there is no extra fat layer between the muscle only on top of. The thing I’ve noticed with a lot of female athletes usually in sports where the run and jump a lot they have muscular lower regions. This helps with the usual daily pounding and helps them compete. a nice backside doesn’t hurt ------------- Im an Ocean yall cats are just ponds |
but if you want to get ride of most of the excess fat. Eat mostly veggies and include a nice amount of protein and good carbs because you use them a lot being an athlete.Posted By: NDGthaDon

| Well, I used to play Volley-ball too and can tell you while it does burn alot of calories it doesn't build a tremendous amount of muscle. And I used to play alot! Almost everyday, sometimes two games in one day. And practice like crazy. Yes it will tone you more and keep your weight in check(I was a stick when I played), but just like you say, you will only be able to see the muscle when you flex it some how. The volley-ball players you see, that have alot of muscle definition don't get it like that by just playing. They have major exercise routines. Like Gabrielle Reese. She works out like crazy. And does alot of strenght training. So if your thighs are kind of spreading when you sit down, that is a combination of fat and flacid skin. So yes, exercise will get your butt smaller as well as your thighs if that is what you want. strength training vitamins and amino acids should take care of that. Plus it will really improve your performace when playing. |
