What to work on?
Hi all! Just started my workout journey recently. Just started going to the gym about a month ago to mainly work on my lower body.
I was wondering if y’all had any advice on what I should work on to look more feminine!
Any advice welcome, for example:
- Muscles I should target
- Exercises I should add/remove/change
- Should I lose/gain weight
My usual workout at the gym:
- 3 sets reverse lunges (smith machine)
- 6 sets hip thrusts (smith machine)
- 4 sets glute medius hip thrusts (dumbbell) (Bret Contreras came up with these for hip abduction I think)
I’m still figuring out my home workout but I often do:
- 3 sets Bulgarian split squats (dumbbell)
- 3 sets single leg hip thrusts (dumbbell) (I can’t do these very well form yet, work in progress)
- 4 sets glute medius hip thrusts (dumbbell)
- I’ve been thinking of changing to step ups and adding single leg RDLs
Context/Data that might be useful:
- mtf, not socially transitioned
- I live in Japan so wearing a mask is very normal, so I often use it to hide my jawline which I feel self conscious about
- can’t grow my hair out so I have to use wigs
- 179cm, 73-75kg depending on the day
- 6 months on estradiol patches but only 2 months on CPA
