How do I decrease muscle mass but remain fit?
I used to play football and got really big and muscular. I’m in college now and don’t want to be so big because I don’t play football or need to be big anymore. How do I decrease my muscle size but still remain fit? I still want to be lean but I just don’t want to be as big.

why would you want to? lean means muscle mass with no fat. it does not mean no muscle mass. if you want to be lean i would rather suggest for you to do some cardio or something.

When you got big, you were probably lifting heavy weights in few repetitions(6-8 reps)
To decrease the size of a muscle, you need to lift less weight, but for more repetitions. This will maintain most of your strength, but it will simply spread the muscle out.
For example: heavy weights with fewer repetitions piles muscle into one spot. This makes people look bigger.
Lighter weights with more repetitions creates a more even spread of muscle.
So lift less weight, with more repetitions.
If you’re doing 3×8 right now, make it 3×10-14 reps. You’ll have to use a lighter weight to lift it that many times.
