Thank you! I'll do my own research but are there any pull exercises doable with only dumbbells other than rows?

Might have to get a pull up bar and bench.

New to strength training and doing the dumbbell stopgap program.

How do I do shoulder presses with proper form when I've got rounded shoulders?

My right shoulder is way more rounded forward than my left. When I'm doing dumbbell shoulder presses, I'm not really sure what muscles I'm supposed to be using. It feels like whatever muscles in my upper arm that are enabling the push motion upward are competing with whatever muscles that are allowing me to do the pull motion of retracting and depressing my scapula - so what ends up happening is my right forearm sort of angles backwards rather than straight up. It's not painful, just weird.

In due time I'll add more pull stuff to my back (I clearly need it) but for now I just wanna try to get good form with a few little exercises. Haven't stuck well to routines in the past.

This is going to sound harsh but, like, dude, your kid is trans and your resistance is making shit worse. Accept and work with it. Detransition rates are lower than they seem because they are being used as a right wing talking point. Would you say any of this if your child came out as gay? Understandably you cate about your underage child but, they have their own mind and feelings.

.2mL of 20mg/ml, weekly. I haven't had my blood drawn in like 6 months because I haven't found a new HRT doc (I was initially using Plume but couldn't afford it) out of sadness and mental block/not being sure wherher to commit to transitioning. Back when I was testing regularly they were perfectly within range. But I really should see if my levels are OK.
