HRT muscle loss - Will it do anything about big thigs and calves?

[Kevin Peña]

This is precisely why I recommend gymnastics. You get strength without much bulk. It gives me an advantage since I won't have to wait for a huge amount of muscle to fade when I start HRT.

Mmmm. My calves have always been somewhat big, but never this much. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I rarely ever take the lift and I always use the stairs, everywhere (I need to go up and down constantly in the office building, and since the steps are so small, always using the tips of the feet). Should I stop with that too?


Anyways, I can't believe my butt looks that bad. No that I cared a lot about it, but it needs to stop looking like gelatin. And now I understand why some machines at the gym were only used by women...

Hi Apples,

Sorry if I say this, but it seems to be you are obsessing a bit, which  is a very feminine quality, BTW!!! :-)

Your thighs and calves look just fine!!! Just let HRT do its thing and stop worrying!!!

You are ok!

I suppose it is what happens when after 10 years of doing nothing but sitting on your couch playing videogames and whining you snap and realise that you are running out of time. Everything seems like a race agains the clock. On november I will be 30 and I feel and look old. I thought I hated teenagers, but it is only envy of not being able to enjoy what should have been the best years of my life, instead of being alone since puberty.
