TGirl Gym Rats

[OtisDriftwood]

I powerlift and bodybuild and am in the gym almost everyday. For well over a decade. I can't say that I've ever seen anyone that I suspect might be a T-girl in any of the three gyms that I frequent (Worlds' and Powerhouses', not Bally's or more recreational type gyms).

While I do see alot of steroid-enhanced very masculine, muscular women, they still are very obviously GGs.

I was curious if any TS's pump serious iron.

I would say a majority of tgirls are trying to avoid too much muscle development. Not that they don't keep in shape but pumping iron isn't the best for femininity.

There once was a black tgirl around from the states named 'Fit Terri',
she had large muscles from working out.
She was not attractive to me at all.....

Personally, I don't like it either. Never did. I like feminine, petite GGs and am only attracted to the very feminine T-girls.

I was just curious if anyone has seen it because I "live" in the gym and never have. Of course, I frequent the hardcore gyms, not the "meet/meat market", recreational Bally's type Spas.

There was a thread like a few months back which had a picture of a very built girl and asked if guys would be into that if she was a t-girl. Someone find it if they can.

Interesting thread. I've always been very athletic, and did a lot of weight training pre-transition, but it's been impossible to maintain since then. Now, my workout regimen includes a lot of cardio, followed by isometric exercises to maintain muscle tone, and lots of stretching. I'll sometimes relax with low-intensity yoga after a long day, but it's more for the meditative qualities than physical effects.

It's not just about appearance, but there are hormonal effects to consider. Like most t-girls, my hormone therapy includes both estrogen and anti-androgens, which minimize my body's production of testosterone and allow the estrogens to work on my body. Simply taking estrogen (such as black-market birth-control pills) sometimes has the opposite effect, as the two hormones are very similar and often change from one to the other. This is the same reason that bodybuilders who take anabolic steroids sometimes see breast development - the excess testosterone converts into estrogen, resulting in awesome new boobage.

Even while maintaining the same level of fitness and body weight, I've seen a pretty substantial reduction in upper body strength, but I'm still pretty toned, all things considered. But even if I wanted to pump iron again, the testosterone blockers would prevent me from adding any additional muscle.

Not that I care to, anyways - I like my new boobs a lot better than I ever liked my biceps.

Many women are partial to my biceps, to their eternal undoing :

The mere concept of "testosterone blockage" makes me queasy!

I'm a huge fan of testosterone.

I wouldn't have 8 plates on each side of the bar without enough of it to kill a small horse!

Not exactly a gym rat but I like to keep fit. Now I'm gettin into crossdressing I'm concentrating on abs, legs, and dumbell pullovers for the chest to look better in a bra... and waiting for my biceps to subside a bit...
