I will say though I don’t get random erections anymore. I haven’t gotten random erections since like idk my T was around 100

Idk what to say really about this, I am gonna get my levels checked this week or next week I’ll tell you what’s up haha. My T levels were at around 800 before I transitioned
Wow I didn’t even realize I you weren’t who I was taking to earlier lol. Im just happy because my gender is muscle mommy and gay
I think lifting through transition does a lot of work of keeping strength. Like the spots where I lost strength is places I stopped training for like 6 months. I dropped by maybe… Idk an 8th of my strength on bench?I will say I started HRT 10 months ago, so I was at T levels of cis women for like idk, 7 months or something not 10. Unless my T has inexplicably shot up in the last few months and I’m not getting any of the effects of high T (such as random erections… I don’t get those. Or ya know wanting to die all the time lol)
But like, I can still bang out over 10 pullups easily - last time I tested myself on that was after climbing for 2 hours and I did 10 pullups. I used to do 20 but maybe I’ll test myself today and see how many I can do.
So idk if this is well trained or not but I was deadlifting 315 3x5, squatting 225, and benching idk like 185 (maxed at 205 but couldn’t do that regularly) at about 145 pounds. I’m 155 pounds and doing similar, but it’s easier on the deadlift, I think I hit maybe 325 or 335 like 3 months ago. I did 300 and it was pretty damn easy yesterday, I could push it further. I could have honestly been under training though because deadlifts that heavy kinda scared me, form would start to break down and I worried about injury
What is “well trained” I guess? I also never stopped training? Idk what to say I’m just happy my strength is still around for the most part. It feels like in some ways I have gotten stronger but maybe I should go test my maxes??
In some ways I’m getting stronger but I’ve also gotten weaker. I don’t think estrogen has made me stronger though. My T levels are fine though they are like 20. I just started climbing ig which made my grip strength increase significantly which helps I think more than I imagined. But so far it doesn’t seem too much harder to gain strength than before… Idk
LOL love the pic. Yeah my new gym basically only has free weights. I used to do more machines but I work out at a climbing gym
Yeah I used to squat like 225 on low bar. Having to relearn how to squat high bar now, but I’m getting the hang of it. At 185 ponds for 5 sets of 5 now, it’s just starting to get kinda tough. For DL it feels like I can push it to 350 but I’m honestly scared lol
So this isnt super trans related but it’s been like 10 months on estrogen and in some ways I actually feel stronger. I started climbing and can now deadlift like 300 pounds somewhat easily, something I couldn’t do while on testosterone (I also didn’t climb though). My bench press has barely suffered, I used to bench like 85 pounds dumbbells for 5, I can do 70 pound dumbbells for 8 reps… My squat is steadily rising also. Idk lol I’m a bit surprised honestly
It’s like 27 lol
I’ll be honest it’s expensive but it’s also the only protein I’ll actually drink and finish. With plant based milk it’s very tasty though and mild
Yeah it’s been almost a year for me. And it’s made like massive changes, but still I’m getting regularly misgendered and treated like a guy. The only people who really see me are trans people, everyone else seems to just be humoring me. I’m tired of it
I think I’m gonna get FFS. Thinking just my forehead, brow bone and orbital. It’s all kinda scary to me though :/
I like the naked pea protein mass gainers. Very tasty and like 1200 calories lol
Oof sorry I was drunk when I posted this
Maybe honestly it’s the last part idk. I’m quite muscular and I at least used to build muscle pretty easily
