Our strength capacity?
I came across this video in my YT recommended, and I wanted to know everyone's thoughts and if there is any further research on this.
(I've been trying to learn more about strength stuff, and unfortunately that means getting videos about this stuff, which seems to be popular at the moment.)
This is a woman who supports trans people, but talks about her experience taking TRT as a female bodybuilder and her opinion on trans athletes.
She goes on to comment that she would have never been able to match the strength of a man simply because she didn't go through male puberty. Citing things such as, tendons are smaller, lung capacity is smaller, things that are just fact.
I am wondering, is it possible for trans males to achieve similar strength to a cis man, since we are on a steady stream of male hormones every week or yeafrs, and not in spurts like I assume bodybuilders are?
I ask, too, because I've been on T for 5 years, levels always been good, but I have a massively hard time gaining any strength or muscle. I've been trying so hard, to the point where I'm sore all the time now, and my body has not masculined as I feel it should have by now.
I also remember reading comments some time ago that some guys here would go lift with their cis buddies and find that they have progressed much quicker than themselves.
Let me know if this is not allowed. I am just really curious, as not a lot of research is out there and maybe someone here has some nuggets of info.
