If I build up my pecs will it make my breasts bigger, smaller or just squarer? If it helps, I'm an A but before I gained weight I was a AA but I'm trying to lose weight again.

Building up your pecs may make your breasts APPEAR bigger, but they aren't, it is due to the increased muscle mass beneath them. If you are an A, you should still be able to hide them like I do, (I'm an A too until Monday...), easily. I wear t-shirts and loose fitting button down shirts. I find that having a bit of a belly helps as well. After my surgery, I will focus on removing the access abdominal fat but right now, I feel it is my friend! ;) You might also check out some sites of female body builders because I've noticed that many of them don't appear to have breasts anymore due to so much muscle. Just a thought anyway. Good luck with your workout! - Shawn

Hi again Praisebethehooves (love the name by the way hun), Im doin the rounds today.

So Pecs n Breasts, I heard a while back theres an exercise for mtf to improve our bust.

Ok, hope I get this right as I guess you will want to avoid, you know when you bench-

press free weights??? lying on your back ,,,,instead of pushing the weights straight up

you push at an angle towards your knees (very light weights ladies, please) , if a mtf

has a small bust this exercise will push up and out the breasts. So I guess if you are ftm

any other bench press stuff will be benificial . Luv, Viv.

This is very interesting subject...I do like a gazillion push-ups...and I don't see anything happening. I heard some guys saying that after they have top surgery they see where all their hard work went...

but as an additional question, we'll working out your chest and your overall body before top surgery give you better results?

Since this question is still mildly unresolved, I'll throw in what I know.

Most fitness websites I've seen say that doing pec exercises such as push ups will make your breasts smaller (and firmer, god that's embarrassing to write).

It probably does make the muscle beneath them bigger, which might make them look bigger though. Probably the best thing it to just do a lot of cardio (running everyday, best thing in the world if you can do it) to get rid of any excess fat in your breasts.

Regardless, I'm doing as many push ups a day as I possibly can. I'll do anything to reduce this extra chest baggage.

      Welcome home!!!

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
