I’m feeling proud of myself and my progress, so here: tits n’ guns.
A year ago, I hated my body. Glad the T has helped me love it again. With a bit of work, I’ve turned the jelly on my chest into bedrock. 🖤
For other trans-mascs who want to get shredded, here’s my workout routine for arms and chest days:
DO YOUR STRETCHES
15 minutes high intensity elliptical / treadmill
6 to 8 sets tricep machine extensions, 10-15 reps, each set adding weight (I start at 23kg and work my way up to 45kg)
6 to 8 sets bicep curls, 10-15 reps, each set (or two) adding weight (I start at 9kg and work up to 32kg)
3 sets lateral raises, 10-15 reps, first at 9kg, then 14, then 18kg.
5 sets converging chest press / military press, 10-15 reps, starting at 18kg, working up to 45kg.
6-8 sets pull ups / chin ups, 10-15 reps, from assisted 14kg, working down until I’m pulling my own body weight (roughly 60kg) (This one is the most important exercise for turning jelly tits into muscle tits and building shoulder mass)
10 minute high intensity elliptical again, then 5 minute cooldown.
Once you’re done with that, slap some deep heat on your arms / upper chest, get a protein shake and some creatine down your neck, then have a big dinner and treat yourself. ❤️❤️❤️ (I usually try to aim for 3000 cal per day)
I do this at least twice a week. Also another thing I cannot stress enough because of how good it is, if this routine is too hard for you, get into swimming. If your joints hurt like mine used to, GET INTO SWIMMING. Swimming will help you get fitter and stronger without putting strain on your joints bc water buoyancy n shit.
Crazy that a year ago I was severely underweight and using a walking aid. Things can and do get better, guys. Look after yourselves and eat well.
