The word your looking for is atrophy.[/quote]
No offense, and I can understand what you mean here, atrophy is defined as: A wasting or decrease in the size of an organ or tissue, as from death and reabsorption of cells, diminished proliferation of cells, pressure, lack of oxygen, malnutrition, decreased function, or hormonal changes.
However, what we are trying to do is take a more active role in the matter, and also keep it on a more positive note. This term “reverse hypertrophy” was first coined by elite strength coach Robert Emil, formerly of the USSR.
Atrophy is more of a passive, or “accidental” loss of tissue, while “reverse hypertrophy” is more of a positive wording, that allows us to take a more assertive role in resolving these issues.
As I said, I mean no offense by this and I fully understand the confusion, but I strongly believe this phrase “reverse hypertrophy” is a more accurate description of what we, and apparently several others ( I have so far recieved 4 messages from other members and users stating that they are very appreciative of this thread and have had similar thoughts and goals but have been afraid to express them due to the nature of most the information here) are after.
Good luck with your training and goals, and thank you for supporting us in ours.

You’re arguing semantics. Atrophy and this “reverse hypertrophy” are both one and the same.
I get the vaque sense that adarqui and honeybadger are the same individual. None the less I hope you reach 130 soon. I remember as a high school athlete having to cut to 130 at five foot ten and maintaining that weight for four months. A horrible experience very much felt like an anorexic 14 year old girl during that time.
As for a resembling Frank Zane at 6 foot one 130. Thats a bit of a stretch mate.

I am not arguing, I clearly stated above the definition of atrophy and how it does describe what we are after in a way, but the term we choose to use is a more positive, aggressive, and driven phrase, “reverse hypertrophy”. Dr. Emil coined this phrase and I will continue to use it when referring to my goals on this matter. If you prefer to refer to it as atrophy, or preferably “focused atrophy” then that is fine, we are all entitled to our preferences.
The statement you made about adarqui and I being the same individual is ridiculous though, I have posted my pictures earlier in this thread, have one of them in my avatar, and he has done the same, several times throughout this thread. I am 6’2", he is 6’1", I weigh 225 lbs, he weighs ~150lbs. I have a tattoo of a barbed wire (goes all the way around, i enjoy the pain it caused on the underside of my tricep) on my left arm, and chinese and japanese characters on my right bicep, that state “strength, strive, and endure”, I do not believe he has any tattoos. I also feel that he is better at spelling than I am atm, but this is also something I plan to work hard on in addition to my physique goals. Here is one of my pictures again in case you missed that, I obviously have alot more work to do than him at this point but that is why I am here in the first place. Losing fat, muscle, and bone mass, through the process of reverse hypertrophy, is not an easy process.

Congratulations on your making 130 lbs, that is an awesome accomplishment, if I can end up even fairly close to that bodyweight I will be more than ecstatic. [/quote]
You natty bro?[/quote]
No, I have used creatine and anaconda before, even taking upwards of the recommended dosages at times though I am not proud of this, it has set me back tremendously.
This is in no way a compliment to me, however you may have meant it, my goals are to get to a much, much, lower bodyweight, and I already have existing self esteem issues due to my current state of fat/bone/muscle mass.

More painful words, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from this even though it may be true in your eyes, it hurts me badly when you say things like this, I am contemplating carving my initials in my forearm with a leatherman as we speak.
I have already stated that I was extremely shy and embarrassed about posting pics of myself in the first place, I only did so to get help from the OP with his extensive knowledge of the reverse hypertrophy methods, not to be criticized by others nor to attain “atta boys” from them. I was honestly sweating and shaking when I posted them the first time, I am a very quiet, shy, and reserved person, posting pictures of myself for the first time EVER online took alot of me. Here are the pics again in case you didnt see them:

Anyhow, I have answered your questions to the best of my abilities, please refrain from using advanced bodybuilding terminology when referring to me or my pictures in the future, words hurt people too. Good luck with your training.
