body type transition

i have been working out for about 10 years now, and since i was 17, i have been working out for size and strength. heavy wieghts with small amounts of reps on everything. it worked well and i can stack on muscle like no other. i am getting closer to 30 now and have been hearing alot of rumors that large muscles translate into much fat once you slowdown your workout routine. in order to prevent this, i want to change my workout regimen to a program geared to get cut without losing significant amounts of my size and strength. any suggestions?

When gaining mass, you use more weight, less reps,
more rest inbetween sets and greater food portions.

When toning, which what you desire, do the opposite.
Less weight, more reps, do quicker intervals between sets.
Make sure you always breathe.

You also might want to consider a little more cardio.

You are not wanting to gain mass anymore, so reduce your food portions.
Not only that, but now your metabolism will be slowing down in comparison to your younger years.
It's a good habit to get started on now,
before the love handles show.

age + muscle != fat.

as you get older, your metabolism does slow down compared to when you were younger, but if you exercise a lot, it shouldn't be much of an issue. just watch what you eat a bit better. muscle doesn't and can't "turn into" fat, if that is what you were hearing it does.

Nope, the logic that muscle can turn into fat, or that fat can turn into muscle is just flawed. Its a physical impossibility. If you have a large amount of msucle mass at the moment and stop exercising those muscles, all that is going to happen is that they will atrophy over time. They'll just shrink. I would say this myth was perpetuated by the fact that if you were to totally stop all exercise, you would gain fat. But thats a whole seperate issue. Muscle loss and fat gain would occur at the same time, but due to different reasons.
