these exercises rlly help give people with feminine bodies a more masculine look and can greatly help with the hips and core area (specifically the oblique and core exercises help a lot) so i thought i’d share them :)

@ my trans brothers

So I’m p sure I’m gonna go off T as of next month (I will have been on it for 7 months by then) cause I’m v happy with where I’m at voice/hair/etc wise, but the one thing I hate is that my fat distribution is gonna return to a “female” pattern- does anyone know any exercise routines/habits to keep a masculine figure??

update on packing while exercising:

jock strap + small soft packer + compression pants + long t-shirt

works well enough for regular cardio (elliptical etc) and weights. moves around a bit with long periods of vigorous motion. a slightly bigger packer might be better.

works quite well for yoga! a bit of shifting to the side, but nothing noticeably abnormal. i could see myself in the mirror almost the whole time, and it looked fine. long t-shirt probably not actually necessary.

untested for swimming; i don’t bother packing for water classes.

Anyone have advice on working out as a physically disabled person who wants muscle growth and just started testosterone?

Help a t-butch out 💔

[lickingteeth]

yeah yeah yeah! i started working out again today! ate fairly clean (considering it’s shark week) and i thot i’d share what workouts i’m doing. (these focus on areas that help you look more masc)

i also recommend running or biking (moderately not aggressively tbh) or other general cardio that uses your legs because it replaces fat with muscle in your legs without bulking them up (again if you do it moderately doing it aggressively and regularly is gonna just make them get thicker with muscle, so unless you want that den do it regularly but not rigorously)

How To Begin

Check your daily schedule and determine the time most convenient for you to do the exercises. It should be the same time each day.

Here are some suggested times:

before breakfast;

late morning or afternoon, at your place of employment;

after your regular recreational period;

in the evening just before you retire.

  Regardless of the time you choose START TODAY  

Maximum Rate of Progression through the Charts According to Age  

20 years or under, at least 1 day at each level 20-29 years, at least 2 days at each level 30-39 years, at least 4 days at each level 40-49 years, at least 7 days at each level 50-59 years, at least 8 days at each level 60 years and over, at least 10 days at each level

  If you feel stiff or sore, or if you are unduly breathless at any time, ease up and slow down your rate or progression. This is particularly applicable to the older age groups.

 A Note of Caution

Even if you feel able to start at a high level and progress at a faster rate than indicated

DON'T DO IT

Start at the bottom of Chart 1 and work up from level to level as recommended.
