    How can I LOSE muscle in the biceps?

    I know it's a bit of a strange question... but, my arms are now around 16 inches (I know that ain't so big for the most of you) so I'd like to see what I'd look like with slightly smaller arms.

    I asked a few guys at the gym and they all said the SAME: stop doing so much curls... but the thing is I haven't done a *single* biceps curl this whole year...

    P.S. my forarm is slightly over 13 inches, and nicely defined. I would NOT like to lose any of the forearm muscles.

    If you are serious, keep your calorie intake the same but steadily decrease your weights on the curls.

    I'm serious. I guess I have "sensitive" biceps or whatever... it would be great if some (if not all) other muscles gained mass that easily

    Anyway, I'm not doing curls at all... it's all from other non-direct work, I'm guessing mostly from free weights...

    Its usually the other way around. Some people train biceps every single day because of it. Its probably the only muscle on me I can't get any soreness in and thats doing curls with a 30KG bar (can only do 6 reps) when I am around 170lb with 25% BF.

    My arms are a little bigger than yours.

    And they are not big enough.

    16" is not very big on a 6'1" 209lb frame.

    You should know what 15" and 14" and 13" arms look like, since you've already been there. Probably have pics to remind you of smaller arms in your past.

    Unless it is obvious to anyone who isn't blind that you lift weights, you might still benefit from a little more attention to big basic barbell exercises for enough reps:).

    I mean, there are millions of suggestions on how to keep and build the muscle, but there is no advice on how to lose it?
