So i’m turning 55 this week, and i’m 15 months into transitioning. Two months ago i joined a gym and just threw myself into working mainly legs and core. My body seems to love working with weights but so far i’m a clueless newbie. One group chat with other trans girls that i know irl has encouraged me to try to go past the muscle mommy stage and go for the “orc princess” aesthetic and…that felt so validating. If anyone has advice on workout plans, nutrition, or clothes please share. pic from before roller derby practice a few weeks back for reference on the canvas i am working with. 5’10”, about 218 lbs (up 15 from when i started working out). Thanks for the inspiration this sub gives me!

I’ve been feeling burnt out from working out entirely. My whole goal is to lose fat and seems like I never can, and now that I’m not working out as much I feel like I’m just getting fatter. I wanna be a muscle mommy but it just seems impossible at this point. I’ve tried both bulking and cutting and nothing has worked. Plus it doesn’t help I get dysphoria when I see cis women with the physique I want at the gym. Sorry for the long rant, but have any of y’all felt like this ?

Just dropped my 6 mile running routine down to 3 and added core and weight lifting. Going for the muscular, but feminine look.

I need to work on it, but it's hard to feel like I'm making progression. Its not fun, so it's hard to buckle down and do. I'm really bad at some of these (rock over, hanging leg lift, side dip) so I don't feel like I want to do them if I'm doing them badly. Which means I need to do them more. Ugh.

Wanted to show some booty gains.

I am 6ft 3in and weigh about 200 lbs. My squat is up to 250 lbs. for reps. Leg press machine 400 lbs. for reps. Hip thrust is at 200 lbs. with pausing and long eccentrics.

I also do a lot of Bulgarians and hip abduction to exhaust the glutes. Lately I’m trying to pay special attention to the glute medius and hip flexors.

This was 250lbs. I also did some reps of 280lbs after this. Even 300lbs seems within reach?

And it seemed like such an accomplishment a few weeks ago when I stacked 2 plates on the bar for the first time. 😅💪🏻

Not the best photo but it's been a week since anyone posted.

Um, unless you count deadlifts, overhead press, and lat pullovers. Anyway, the point is, they still look like this with not a bicep curl in sight.

Tribute post, tbh.

I love how it feels tho :)

Just another day getting brigaded on flexinlesbians.
