Inducing Muscle Atrophy?

Does anyone know of any methods for purposefully causing atrophy in specific muscular regions?

I know actually desiring muscle atrophy sounds like blasphemy, but in certain circumstances, say severe muscular imbalances, it may be helpful. Most would just say “just work the lagging bodyparts”, but what if the imbalance is very prevailant (such as excessive growth in one area due to genetics).

I know many bodybuilders who wish their obliques were smaller for a better V taper. Growing bigger lats and shoulders is a no-brainer, but is there another step?

Pics?

Stupid thread = stupid pictures

Punch that muscle with a furious anger and berate it in a foreign language so that it becomes disenchanted and introverted. Also tell the food you eat to ignore that muscle and leave it alone because it’s stupid and dirty.

Yes.

injuries will usually do the trick for you, trouble is all the strength disapears with it.

Just because it’s out there, I don’t think obliques are a prevalent reason for a large waist, but I suppose you could try to atrophy internal organs.

just cut it off man

Eat it

=D A lot of these responses are funny but I was expecting at least some serious conversation. Is wanting to slim down a specific area is that much of a foreign concept because we’ve all been programmed for more mass, always?

anyone who does that is an idiot

If you don’t train it, it won’t grow. I have never done ab work to keep my waist small and I think it has worked. I do keep visible abs due to indirect use as stabilizers.

BLASPHEMOUS! Even by my accounts.
