Hey all,
just a quick qstn for those of you guys on T:  Did you experience any bulking or becomign more broader in the shoulders after starting T even without working out?
I've been on T for around 9months now and i havnt experienced any general increase in size (not even just a little bit...)

Cheers,
Joshua

I bulked up broadened naturally. It does help working out but that always requires effort

I can't tell you when it happened.. I just know that it did!

I'm experiencing a bit, and am 4 months on T.
I don't "work out" but I will lift some hand weights for about 10 minutes at the end of the day/ I do yoga [which suprisingly does help strength a good bit]

Nothing extreme though...

Yes.  A number of my shirts are much tighter.  I can still wear some of them (T-shirts stretch) but... they're much tighter.  The non-stretchy button ups are tight enough to be unwearable.

It happened fairly rapidly--within the first few months.  I was working out then.  I stopped at about 4 months, due to general busy-ness and the fact that my shoulders felt very strained despite proper stretching.  Shoulder growth continued to happen--albeit at a much slower rate--since then.  I think it's stopped now.  Might give the weights another go until top surgery, just to see what happens.

I'm by no means big, I'm only talking about a 3-inch or so increase in shoulder circumference.  Probably only enough for me to notice, and that's mostly because of the outgrown shirts.

yea, i remember reading that most ftm guys experience some broadening but nothing ever happened to me...ive started to work out now so hopefully i'll grow soon!

Yes. I already had broad shoulders but now they're broader and bulkier.

My shoulders actually naturally got broader after I turned 18 but I just started T today and am going to start working out tomorrow.

I bulked up and broadened a lot when I began T, but I was working out a lot then too. After the first half a year I fell into a depression and stopped eating as well and stopped exercising like I had been, now I'm back where I started before T. I went from 125lbs to 160lbs in about 4 or 5 months, in the course of one summer I went back down to 125 and have stayed there for about a year now.

I finally got my weights moved in and set up though, plus we got a place with an actual kitchen so I can start cooking meals on a daily basis again instead of eating out or eating barely anything, so hopefully I will see that change again. If I do have any dramatic change again from these things I will update you guys. Maybe I'll even share some of my eating habits that tend to help with weight gain and muscle mass increase

Yeah definitely.  My shoulders are much broader than they used to be.  All of my shirts are tighter, some to the point where they barely fit.  I was working out a bit, but I think the T was the main reason why I got bigger

now I won't be working out for a few months (just had top surgery monday), so I'll see if I stay the same size

My shoulders are broader and shirts tighter. I have not been working out much but work in a warehouse part time where I lift stuff up to 90+ pounds.

I had to get rid of a lot of clothes, my shirts got too small due to my shoulders filling them up and  I had to go to a larger waist size and men's cut of pants, since my waist actually got bigger although my hips lots  a lot of fat. I've not been working out for months, but my strength and stamina are great.

Hmmm, is interesting how it happens to some.  I've always known T to promote growth and help bulk fast...still has me puzzled

*shrug* take a look at some cis-guys.  Not all of them have a lot of meat on their shoulders.  It's probably genetic.  How are the shoulders of the guys in your family?

The guys in my family are pretty broad.   I guess i just need to wait a bit longer...

I haven't worked out since February (sad!), which was before I got back on T. Once on T, I noticed within the first month that my arms were bulking up. Every activity I do seems to pack on more muscle; I rode my bike to and from school this semester until it got cold, and now my quads are massive. I think I have a propensity for building muscle quickly, though.

My shoulders have definitely gotten a bit broader.  I don't work out, but I do have a job that involves lifting things over my head repeatedly for hours at a time, so I suspect the effect is similar to working out with low weight/high reps.
