>be me, on HRT for less than 2 months >plumbers install new shower faucet cuz old one was about to break >try to adjust shower head height but cant move the screw an inch >go to roommate and ask him for help >he instantly unscrews it and turns around to me >tells me "yeah, they screwed that one in really hard" in a mocking tone
i know i was a weakling before i started to transition but this is ridiculous hrt isn't supposed to make you this weak this fast right? i dont want to have to ask my roommate for help every time i want to take a shower
hrt doesn't make you as weak as everyone claims everyone here just has spaghetti arms from never leaving their computer and think it's le feminine that they can't open a jar when really it's just sad put some effort in instead of purposely trying to be as weak as possible thinking it somehow makes you trutrans
Grayson Ward
this kind of gaslighting is so retarded. yes most people here were extremely weak pre-HRT as well but HRT also does something to you that completely alters your muscles. an extremely weak man can easily beat almost any woman in arm wrestling, for example
Josiah Carter
like literally all the women in my family and friend groups are stronger than me with some of them being literal tanks i know being a weakling doesnt make me any more trutrans im just worried because i legit couldnt open a frigging shower head clamp which is weak even for my standards
Adam Murphy
it's not gaslighting, and you're purposely misconstruing my statement. HRT will make you weaker, but not as weak as everyone claims, as I said. HRT won't make it so that you can't open a fucking jar lmfao, even my 70 year old grandma can do that yet I've seen people here talking about how they struggle with opening water bottles. like fuck off with that shit, it's just a fetish at that point. yeah you won't be as strong as you used to be, but you definitely aren't gonna be as weak as this board makes it out to be unless you purposely try to make yourself into some frail twig that the wind can knock over out of some AGP fetish

>i know being a weakling doesnt make me any more trutrans im just worried because i legit couldnt open a frigging shower head clamp which is weak even for my standards then go to the gym, user.
Jacob Brooks
all my lifts went down like 20 pounds across the board in 3 months, squats/deadlifts went down 50 bit shocking desu, now my cis brother who barely lifts can compete w/me in strength
Chase Perez
>Longitudinal studies examining the effects of testosterone suppression on muscle mass and strength in transgender women consistently show very modest changes, where the loss of lean body mass, muscle area and strength typically amounts to approximately 5% after 12 months of treatment.
Cooper Ramirez
lmfao this is such a joke, like most trans health 'science'
Logan Wood
so in the end i just am psyching myself up and by thinking im weaker than i actually am i end up weaker than i actually am? is that it?
Jacob Powell
well probably a combo of hrt and anorexia but i cant even lift a jug of milk anymore without a lot of struggle i consistently need my boyfriend to open cans for me
Elijah Morgan
placebo is powerful and nocebo even more
Charles Stewart
It made me weaker than I used to be, but it's not just HRT, pre-transition I was a 230lbs fitfag, now I dropped down to 170s, so I obviously lost most of my strength. I've been on HRT for over two years, I recently started working out again, but I don't train my upper body and arms. And I'm a tiny bit weaker than slightly taller cis women (6'1 vs ~6'3, those two are kinda giants) who've been full body training for over a year, my one rep max biceps curl is 35lbs, they can do 40-45lbs. So realistically, if we're equally (un)trained, I'd be a bit stronger than them. I noticed that for many trannies being weak, even weaker than cis women, is a psychological necessity, so they subconsciously reduce the amount of strength/power they can produce, like, they just cut it off at a certain level without realising it.

Henry Gutierrez
I used to do 40 set pushups and can only do like 1 now. Having a bf to take care of heavy or tough objects is really comfy
Brody Morales
idc about getting weaker but did your bicep muscles get less visible? im fairly weak already but since i have no body fat my arm muscles make me a hon
Connor Turner
they didnt really get less visible but that is more or less because i started out with anamoder arms
Nolan Torres
>I've seen people here talking about how they struggle with opening water bottles. like fuck off with that shit I used to be pretty fit, and 3 months into HRT, I was having trouble opening water bottles. OTOH, once I started working out again, I recovered my strength in my legs pretty quickly. It was a pleasant surprise, since I expected lifting to be harder with T nuked, but it honestly doesn't feel that different.
Christian Wright
God I wish I was disabled.
Caleb Morris
I just wanna be weak and basically dying.
Carson Perry
It sapped away almost all of my strength since I keep my t as close to 0 as possible. being anorexic for a while made it even worse for a couple years and I was hardly able to do 3 pushups. But after gaining weight I can about 6 now, its not much but it feels like progress.
Aaron King
anorexia worked pretty well for me as a kid i nearly died after starting hrt and putting on a little weight to get to like 17 bmi I stopped passing out (mostly) but my muscles are still useless
