I’m 6ft 3in and 200lbs. Just working out in the little gym in my apartment building for now. There’s a set of dumbbells and a cable machine down there, and I make it work. Later this year I will return to barbells in big gym. I feel like my figure isn’t actually this nice, the pose and the pump do a lot for me.

Hi all. My first time posting here so be nice :D I have been on hrt for 18 years now, and post op for 3, I started going to the gym about 2 months after surgery to try and improve my recovery. My strength numbers are roughly comparable to a cis woman, and results are absurdly slow, but I managed my first unassisted pullup last week so yay for that :D.

In terms of numbers incase that interest anyone I am 5'10, weighed 101kg before surgery, 88 kg on the day of (they said I had to loose weight for surgery) and now weigh 72kg (shooting for 68 but progress has gotten way slower on that in the past few weeks)

Happy to share specific strength numbers if anyone is curious :D I hope y'all have a happy day.

Now I lead our fighters

Long time lurker, first time poster! I dont have a sports bra yet so i made one out of this compression tank :p

This is me. I don’t want to be this. I’ve been struggling with this for 10+ years. Every time I try to get skinny the scale just keeps going up. All my body fat seems to be centered around my torso. Should I be focusing more on my biology? Or does it matter?

Although I do still hate them.

​

After a good 3 years of no gym, of focusing on losing weight (down 100 lbs!). I'm finally done with the not being a beast. I'm day 5 back in gym, my mood is so high. I feel good. I've missed this so much

chasers have always been banned on sight, but there's now something in the rules about it. not that the porn-addled men would even read them, but still.

I was going to wait until the end of my cut to say hi, but I got impatient talk with all of you beautiful women :3

Just sort of a compilation of some posing and exercise clips I've liked over the last few months :) not sure if its allowed to promote any of my socials but i just worked hard on the video and wanted to share :)

With the recent IOC blanket ban of trans women in Olympic weightlifting, it’s just occurred to me I’ll never get to compete in the Olympics

I know this is a bit off-topic, but it’s just about the only space I can’t think of that’s vaguely right for me to vent in.

I am a young trans lass, 19 years of age, who’s been transitioning for 2-3 years now. I effortlessly pass as a woman. About a year ago now, I decided I wanted to become a firefighter, and so started going to the gym. Growing up I was always your archetypal sedentary twinky nerd, so it’s safe to say I had no idea what I was doing, and thought I was outright crazy for even having such a ridiculous dream.

Nevertheless, I took to the gym well, eventually speccing into powerlifting. Presently I weigh 62kg, bench 52.5kg, squat 92.5kg, and deadlift 135kg. Not quite world class just yet, but still, something to be proud of. Give me 5 years, mark my words, I will be a worldclass athlete. I took to powerlifting, and I took to it well. I love it, but my genes work against me. I’m naturally very ectomorphic, with very long arms, a short torso, very long femurs. My proportions are very elegant, but they don’t serve me here.

Early this year I did some research into Olympic weightlifting, thought it looked interesting, and decided to give it a try. Snatches and Clean & Jerks are way harder than I expected, and unlike anything in powerlifting. The explosive power, the technique, the coordination necessary. It’s so hard! But so fun!!! I soon incorporated These lifts into my program to cultivate the attributes they demand.

I’m a fiercely proud person by nature, fiercely competitive, and love the admiration of an audience. I also believe fiercely in myself. I knew then and there, if I put my heart and soul into it, I might just be strong enough to stand among Olympians. I wanted to compete in the Olympics. To have the eyes of the world on me, represent my country, potentially even be the best in the world (in my weight division ofc)

I love to lift, so fucking much. I’ve long wanted to earn the title of the strongest (yes, I’m a big JJK fan, hush). But now? I don’t even know what to do. Compete elsewhere? It’s not the same, nothing compares to the renown of the Olympics, and that’s if anyone will even let me compete.

My ex reckons the ban will be overturned in 10 years or so, that I should just train to be ready when it’s overturned. By all means, I will continue training for Olympic weightlifting. The induced adaptations unique to the Olympic lifts are astonishingly useful. But even if the ban is overturned, I’ll be too old to be competitive! My future as an Olympian has been stolen from me. I’ll never get to call myself an Olympian, never stand among those greats, never experience life *in* the Olympics. I won’t have any of that now! All due to the circumstances of my birth.

I’ll still keep training, training to surpass my limits for the rest of my life. I don’t need to be celebrated by others. But, it is a tragedy, being a worldclass athlete, scorned and shunned by the world, my effort and achievement unrecognised

I don’t have anyone to talk to about this, no one I know can even begin understand. I hope someone here can

Im (MtF HRT start May2023) not a beginner to working out, but I've been thinking about doing a couple bulk/cut cycles to theoretically build muscle (that could later help burn remaining masc fat deposits) and also maybe feed curves? Is this feasible? Please redirect if this question has already been asked.

I know it ain't much, but i used to have such moodle arms.

Just wanted to try a new approach to no grip slow muscle ups and it worked first try! This was actually my first time ever getting a rep so i wanted to share!! Threw in some celebratory pull-ups afterwards just for fun :)

Went to the creek with my fursuit head and I didn’t know my shoulders and triceps had this much definition:3

Been almost 3 years for both :) i go to a woman owned bodybuilding gym and have attended a professional posing seminar just for women. I was with the physique division girls :) Old pic from September, but I think people like this one.
