Title: Working Out
Post by: Jamie-o on March 31, 2008, 03:31:22 AM
I broke down this weekend and bought one of those home gym contraptions.  I've been wanting to get one for years.  Anyway, it has a butterfly attachment, and what I was wondering is, will building up my pecs (pre-op, pre T) help give me a more manly physique, or will it just push my boobs out and make them that much harder to conceal?  Anyone have any experience with this?

Edit:  It occurred to me that it might make a difference that I have a D cup.  (Though when I get down to my ideal weight it will probably be a C.)

Morning Jamie.. Im guessing your from the UK aswell? Well I used to do this excersise all the time it does make your boobs firmer and makes you able to move them if you get what I mean.... Its builds your pecs up!

No, I'm actually in the U.S., but I work really weird hours. I did live in the UK for a while though, so that's why you might see Britishisms occasionally peppered about my posts. :D

I'd say do it. I doubt it would make them more prominent and having some pec development for when you do get surgery will make the results that much better.
