So I've been on T now for a little over 2 weeks, have had two shots and have been working out consistently for about 4 months. and thats a mizture of cardio and weight lifting.

last summer i was more into weight lifting, doing the P90 route and i got good results but once i started college i had some down time and wasn't working out as much and my diet wasn't stellar ( never has been but college doesn't help)

anyway I've been better about it recently, i try to eat out less if i can avoid it and not stuff my gob just because im hungry because the T has definitely made me hungrier more frequently.

before T i was definitly curvier from my hips through my thighs, I carried a majority of my weight there, the widest part of my body is my shoulder but closely followed by the area slightly below my hips.

I was doing leg exercises but realized it was just making my thighs bigger, when i just want to tone em up and lose the fat.



anyway what im trying to get at here is I want my upper body bigger. ( im pretty sure we all do) what sort of workouts should i be doing to get my back and chest and shoulders to at least appear bigger than they are. and how can i go about doing it effectively? and i hear all these things about cardio and weight training not working well together what's the story ont hat? how can i go about losing some of my girl fat?

Have you read the above post yet?  It's pretty comprehensive for starting out.

If you really want to bulk, you need to be maintaining a consistent protein and carb-rich diet while getting right into a proper bodybuilding workout, not just cardio and the occasional weights. 

I've read that if you have a great deal of "fatty bits" hanging around, you should endeavour to start out with a cardio-heavy routine to burn off that fat - THEN start from the ground up with bulking.  Too much cardio and you will potentially lose your gains; there are a lot of different opinions on different routines for upper body gains, but to begin I would recommend joining a gym and possibly seeking out a PT to help you in specific areas (if you can afford it, if not there are plenty of resources online and in books about weight training and body building).
