in Motivation and Support
Getting up and going to the gym is hard, even with motivation, especially when I don’t have a sort of body i want. When I don’t feel comfortable in a body. But I thought maybe we could form a little group? Or at least be together here for some comfort?

You don’t have to be trans or nb to post a response! If you’ve struggled with body comfort and maybe have some tips, feel free to share! :)

    @carnationnation I am going to move this to the motivation and support board in hopes you get more responses there. sometimes stuff get buried quickly in introduce yourself.

    Hey! I'm 24 years old, 5'9" and a cis gendered female. I'm queer and masculine presenting and I'm interested in an athletic build. We probably have a lot in common! In 2018 I realized I was tired of having the body that was expected of me as a female. I made the decision to craft my body the way I've always envisioned it. So I started intense weight training and weight loss. 17 pounds later, I'm finally seeing gains from lifting. It's been hard and I do feel like I have to work harder than men to get gains but its totally worth it. What its come down to for me personally is lifting heavy and lifting often. I dedicate an entire workout to one muscle group and I hit it hard. Right now I do bi/tri, chest, back, and shoulders in rotation on 4 separate days. Most of the time I'm doing reps until failure. Let's chat if you're interested in more details!
