Wow, the more I read the more there is to ponder. I am a BIG guy; 56" chest 19+" arms, been lifting more on than off for 32 years.  I just find this all so encouraging and helpful! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I pulled  muscle in my back opening my garage door Thursday. It gets harder and harder to get it open.
Stooping down, dipping my wings, I came into the darkly-splendid abodes. There, in that formless abyss was I made a partaker of the Mysteries Averse. LIBER CORDIS CINCTI SERPENTE-11;4

I run 25-30 miles a week.  When I started HRT, within a week my times got much slower so I had to readjust my form to be more efficient.  It seemed like I lost a lot of strength, but not the proportional muscle mass.  After a few weeks on HRT, I started getting some visible muscle mass loss, especially in the arms and legs.  My chest, shoulders, and back seem about the same as pre-HRT, though.
