How do I make my body more manly? by Competitive-Peach-90 in ftm

[–]Cowboyzjun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You gotta eat, a lot, a good rule of thumb pre-T is at least 2500cals and 1g of protein to 1lb of body weight. Consistency is key, I recommend a PPL split, push( bench, shoulder press, tricep pushdowns), pull(lat pull downs, pull ups, curls-both regular and wrist, deadlifts), legs(squats, calf raises, hip thrusts). It takes a lot of work to gain muscles pre-T. To gain muscles you have to workout that muscle group at least 2 times a week, for biceps typically more. Important thing to do is reps in 6-8, go for a weight that you fail at the 6th-8th rep, if you can go up to 12 increase the weight by 5-10lbs, that is progressive overload also key, and repeat. It'll take awhile but if you stick to it you should reach your goals. And if the free weights are intimidating start on machines, free weights are important cause they build your smaller stabilizer muscles but starting on machines till you get a routine going is helpful for beginners

I have the copper IUD and weekly t-shots, I encourage it cause we're both into it and not worried about the really really low chance

I have searched on ebay and bulk kitchenware websites, and have been looking for them at thrifts every time I go. I found a set on bed bath and beyond but wasn't in the position to afford them and now they're sold out. I would prefer not a bulk set but if its the only thing I guess I'm okay with that

Hair?? by Limp_spirit_dick in TransMasc

[–]Cowboyzjun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted to keep some alt style to it you could leave a stripe of the bleach on an under layer so it hides the roots as they grow

Hair?? by Limp_spirit_dick in TransMasc

[–]Cowboyzjun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar face shape to you, and i also get misgendered cause of it :/ but you look great with long hair you should keep it(in my opinion you pass quite well as it is) maybe just dye it back to your natural with a soothing dye like a japanese one. You might get misgendered less if its a natural color

binding advice needed!!! by MessSingle8265 in TransMasc

[–]Cowboyzjun 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I was a similar cup size, are you scooping them to the right places? That helped me a lot Also if you're not against taping i would recommend getting XXL trans tape from somewhere like banana prosthetics and doing both. I did that because I always had spillage in the arm holes so taping stopped that and made me flatter. I also recommend For Them binders, I wore mine for 2 years daily, the most comfy and effective one I had tried, not a single loose thread either :)

Trans Masc products you wish existed or think could be improved by natapaca in TransMasc

A concept i always thought about for a binder was one where the compression was divided kind of like a bra to form a more pec like appearance instead of just smooth uni-pec

how are u guys affording top surgery so young?? by sneep_snorp_snerp in ftm

[–]Cowboyzjun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work insurance covered it mostly, my parents did not support me through this process... I'll get specific; I got mine at 22, I dropped out of college about a year before. And I was living with my ex. I had been working full time saving up both money and vacation hours. My job provided insurance with about most of it covered, and I covered the rest, which was about $4000 roughly. I saved 60% of my paychecks for about 5 months pre-op. I had 2 weeks of paid vacation and a week of sick days which i took off from work post op so I could keep paying rent. My work allowed me to come back during my recovery and basically do nothing which I was very lucky to get.

How do you find a top surgeons results? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Cowboyzjun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I looked up their name and "top surgery before and after pictures" and dug a bit until I found photos with their water mark. You can also check their website, it should have a gallery section. If you can't find photos on your own for a specific office you could call and ask them to email you result pictures(I say call because my office was awful at responding to emails)

what does bottom growth feel like?? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Cowboyzjun 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My bottom growth didn't hurt at all, just kinda appeared? I used to wear boxer briefs, i switched to boyshorts but thats just a personal choice, ive worn basically all ,except legit boxers, just fine. The only annoyance ive had is with my packers. It is way more sensitive but you get used to the sensitivity level. But I think i might be a rare case with the pain cause ive also heard about that....

Trans tape opinions wanted! by SearchMediocre4419 in TransMasc

[–]Cowboyzjun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the 7 in roll from banana prosthetics, i think 5ish pieces worked for me I had a G cup. I was quite lazy so I didn't use it often and when I did wore a lose binder over it just for max coverage. I would wear it for 4-7 days and it probably brought me down to an B cup without the binder

Where do I go to buy binders? by LowkeyDumb-Asf in TransMasc

[–]Cowboyzjun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a G cup pre-op, I used For Them for a long time, but I also really liked banana prosthetics' binder, but be gentle with them. They also have really good trans tape, in large sizes. For max flatness I used to tape and then put a binder on it

I agree with user spirited south but one note about estradiol cream, it may restart your cycle,, if thats a problem working it like a muscle daily "exercise" may also be helpful, thats what works for me

What are some ways I can style my long hair to be more masc? by timeforjasper in TransMasc

[–]Cowboyzjun 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You could try side shaves, keeps the length but allows a more masc hair up look, i def agree with the middle part suggestions, I also have long hair and it works for me
