While walking though GNC today I happened to notice a Men's health magazine and just couldn't help but wonder, can an FTM achieve the sort of body that's on those magazines, or can our body frame just not produce those results even with testosterone?
Ask this dude:

Yeah he's really big lol
Yes, it's very possible, especially if you're on T (which is kind of like an added bonus, if you were a bodybuilder, male or female, cis or trans). Obviously, the above post link shows what's possible.
But to be clear - the male physiques on those fitness magazine covers, those are difficult even for biologic 46xy cis-gendered males. It is possible, but takes some work and serious dedication. I realize you're FTM, but I would suggest looking at the competitors (and their workouts) of the Ms. Olympiad (not the Figure or the Fitness competitors, those are completely different). That should give you a better idea of the work-arounds and the workouts for your nascent body frame.

I've got quite the schedule that's given me decent results so far but I like it. I'm interested in getting way bigger, but I don't want to be a bodybuilder. I'd like the strength to accompany my size. I've found the abdominal section the hardest to get more toned...
