I was wondering if any of you took measurements before and after T. We all know (most) guys have broader shoulders than hips and getting on T should make the hips smaller. So basically, if you would divide the hip measurement by the shoulder measurement, you would like a number smaller than 1 because it would mean your shoulders are broader.

Now, if any of you measured the circumference of yours hips and shoulders, I wonder what the hip/shoulder proportion was before and after T. How much did it shift? Did you go from broader hips to broader shoulders? Or did it not change that much?

I dont remember excactly how much it was pre T but I did mesure it once I guess 7 mounths on T or something where my shoulder where 10 cm wider than my hips, 5 on each side. and pre-T they where more or less the same size.
I bet there bigger now even when my hip is still very wide.
but in general T + training can make a pretty big diffrence, I had a very femenine shape before T and now its not perfect and never gonna be (due to my wide hips) but there still alot wider.

As far as I understand for people who are over 25 (the average age of growth stop for human beings of any gender) hormones shouldn't affect hip or shoulder width. If anything T will cause the fat to move from your hips to your waist/stomach and if you've got the genetic make up for it, or you're bulking at the gym, your shoulders should become wider due to muscle expansion but nothing to do with bone structure.

Mine are roughly the same. The fat will usually distribute from the hips to the gut, and you'll have a wider waist measurement. For myself, I still can't find a shirt that fits me both in the shoulder an the hip. I usually end up buying shirts that are large on the shoulder and fit in the hip/belly area. The top boney part of my hip is still really wide while my booty has shrunk.

I dont remember my exact measurements but I dont think my hips have gotten much smaller, maybe an inch.  Its my waist that has gotten bigger which makes my hips look smaller.

I am now a 43 shoulder, 32 waist, and 36 hip.

I think my waist used to be a 28

I did take measurements at the time I started T.  My shoulders were 45 inches and my hips 42 inches.  My most recent measurement is from about two months ago, and my shoulders were 46 inches and hips 38.5 inches.  I was four months from turning 25 when I started T.

Female pelvises continue to grow until menopause. The estrogens cause them to widen to prepare for the chance of childbirth. Logically speaking though, being on T should stop this.
