Proportion of Fat, Upper/Lower Body

Training Bodybuilding

not sure if i should’ve posted this here but it seemed appropriate. anyways i wanted to know if anyone had any info on the possibility of carrying more fat on your legs than upper body. i wouldn’t question it if it was nothing big but im very lean on my upper body (not sure of an exact percentage but it has to be single digits to give an idea) and my legs seem to not really get that lean look.

i think i read something on this site about this issue and unless im forgetting entirely, i read something about hormones or something chemical or whatever. anyone have any thoughts on this?

according to Charles Poliquin, you have too much estrogen. i would look at ways of decreasing your estrogen levels.

What are your stats and level of experience? I seriously doubt you need to be changing your body chemistry to overcome this.

i didnt necessarily think it was something liek that i was just mentioning that i thought i read something like what was mentioned above.
Height:5’11
Weight:170-175
Experience: Just over a year seriously. Of that time though I’d say the past six months were what could really be taken seriously.
Fat: like i said im not sure of an exact number but i am very lean as far as my upper body goes. and just to make it clear my legs arent like storing the fat of 10 men. to me they just dont make sense in comparison.

What book or article by Poliquin states this? I would like to do further reading
