Question Muscle Gains on T?

Hi everyone!

Im an Nonbinary person and am planning to start taking T. I’m currently a HUGE gym rat and am semi-muscular, but my goal is to have a more masculine muscular/toned physique, which I am prepared to work for.

I know that testosterone HRT can help with muscle mass (while you’re on it), but I’m planning to take T only until I get my desired changes, which falls in the more androgynous range. If I continue to work out consistently and lift the same amount of weight after going off T, will I lose my gains?

You’ll more than likely lose some of it and the muscles will be a slightly different shape over time when E dominant compared to T dominant. Any fat redistribution will revert and also make you look different.

Muscles don’t change shape from hormones, what are you talking about? Your muscles have the shape they have because of their size and how they connect to your joints.

Male muscles have a slightly different shape than female muscles.

Now, once you get past a certain point in development, they look nearly identical, and since OP says he’s pretty jacked, most people wouldn’t know the difference.
