I have a question. about losing muscle..

if one has too much muscle ( defenitely NOT me) how would you goa bout wanting to lose muscle.. wanting to thin down to get the speed aspect involved rather then the strength aspect??

i though of low weight high rep lifting, but wouldnt that just make it maintain the muscel mass but burn the fat???

any advice is appreciated... thanks!!!

Cut back the weightroom time significantly. If someone has too much muscle?? then they are either very blessed or lift 5 to 6 days a week. Cut down to two or three with, like you said, lower weight, higher reps.
Sticking to body weight exercises will keep strength and speed but should help shed a little bulk. Less weightroom, more track.

Changing the diet is also very important. Find out is your friend is supplementing with protein, amino's, etc. It's important to take the right amount of protein and 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of body weight is pretty common if you want to keep your mass. If you want to loose a little, you can cut back some and it should help over time.

I know this may sound simple and sarcastic but it's not meant that way. Stop lifting and start sprinting.
