I've Been Lurking Around Some Of Your Posts For A Lil Bit.

I've been lurking around some of your posts for a lil bit.

Then I started thinking about how I used to want to workout and my mum always used to tell me that I didn't want to be a muscular woman.

Not that I listened really, I was like yeah I do though.

Well turns out she was right about half of that lol.

I've been thinking about actually taking the plunge to work out lately.

I've always been kind of physically strong but I'll admit that I'm sad that it barely translates to looking strong for me.

The one thing still holding me back is not knowing if I'll be able to keep up consistency.

Consistency advice is tricky because I have OCD so the consistency for me is like…Not an option if ykwim. But I find that recording your workouts in an app like Strong that tracks your pr’s and how many times you go a week can help keep you accountable. There’s an app called 7 as well that gives you 7 minute workouts that are for beginners on their exercise journey.

I used to secretly lift very, very poorly as a middle schooler/teenager and wanted so badly to be big and bulky but had no fucking idea what I was doing at all. I hated being in my body so much I s2g I didn’t know how to move if it wasn’t running or doing a sport where I could turn my brain off. I ended up not lifting for several years because I hated my body so much I was barely living. So I feel you and it sucks! But there’s always time to start.

If you have strength that’s a starting point, the muscle mass will come with eating a lot, hrt, and time. I’m music stronger than I look and stronger than many cis guys that are bigger than me, but I wasn’t doing bodybuilding routines at that time. Just take the plunge and even if you aren’t consistent there will still be changes, and the more you do it the better you’ll feel and you will start to crave it.

Hiii, chubby trans guy here looking to get fit but not really knowing where to start! :’) I got top surgery a couple months back and my tdick is growing but I still look so curvy and feminine, I just want to be strong and confident. Words of advice for a pathetic little guy?

Congrats on top surgery! It’s hard to know for sure what you should prioritize since I can’t see your body, but finding a beginner lifting routine that works and is realistic for you is a good start. It take 3-5 years for muscle structure and body fat to fully redistribute, sometimes longer if you have a high body fat % — which isn’t good or bad it’s just something to know. Personally, I prefer to fuck someone with a lot of meat on their bones (muscular fat or thicc if you will).

You may need to focus on your upper body a little more right now and work your lats/delts/pecs more often, but don’t skip leg day entirely. You need a balanced physique and ideally an X shaped body. As I’ve proven time and time again, curves aren’t even the feminine necessarily,,

I’m still nearly an “hourglass” but it reads as fitness guy instead of girl figure and I haven’t been misgendered in years. Don’t you want to have a big strong wide back and a perfect ass? Give your partner something to grab onto

Let my bouncy ass inspire you ❤️ had to cover my dick because it hangs too low, but you get the idea. Second pic isn’t my best angle but it gets the point across.

possibly a silly question but how often do you hit abs (asking to feel better about myself if I'm being honest lol, i do basic ab circuits n stuff but i'm not trying to get a stomach anywhere on the flatter side) glad to see you up n back btw (with some insane fucking writings?1? loved them)

mini life update i'm cutting my own hair tonight aswell, unfortunately my barber wasn't in today so js went n said fuck it I don't have quite the patience.. it's already short but I'm hoping i just don't fuck up the layers and the back + soon enough i WILL be able to send in some muscle pics/ progress btw. i just been kinda out trust

I used to obsessively work out abs like. Every other day for 15-30 minutes and a full hour circuit maybe 2x times a week depending. Now I do incline crunches, incline Russian twist (both weighted) and weighted hanging leg raises about once a week for 2-3 sets each, and then maybe some planking. I do a full at-home ab circuit once a week at this point but mostly just to maintain core strength. Even at my leanest and obsessively doing ab work I didn’t have a 6-pack, my adominal muscles seem to be suited to “11s” style abs. It’s hard to tell in my recent pic but that is more fat than I’ve maybe ever had on my abdomen, more noticeable when bending over.

I cut my own hair too but it’s because I just buzz it. I hate barbers, sitting still, talking,, no rush on the pics it’s enough to know you’re staying inspired and consistent

They’re growing so fast… I feel like such a whore flexing my muscle cleavage in front of my flat chested tboy friends.

I lost at arm wrestling with an annoying cis guy the other day. I put up a good fight and held out, but I'm still pissed off. You're my motivation to get big and burly and beat him.

Funny story, when I started lifting I couldn’t bench or squat more than the bar itself. At the time I was humiliated, but just today I finally hit my goal of benching 135 like it’s nothing, just a warm up. What at one time was a humiliation will become a point of pride that you tried even when you were nervous/unsure/inexperienced. Cis guys will be jealous of your drive and gains in as little as a year if you put your mind to it. When you struggle listen to the voice in your head telling you how worth it it will all be when you’re a regular gym rat indistinguishable from any other cis meathead.
