Love the idea that twinks aren’t also muscle hunks. You think the male body just does that? Unless you’re genetically gifted or under 21, expect to put in a lot of gym hours, because if you wanna lose serious weight without gaining muscularture you’re in for a shitton of cardio and dieting.
If you eat a lot of protein and keep carbs low it really helps. I’m on hormones and transfem and I’m still way stronger than most men even as I have lost a lot of mass in my arms and shoulders. A lot of strength is in your nervous system as well. Learning to move heavy stuff without pain or damaging your body sort of unlocks your nervous systems ability to use more muscle fiber at once. It’s trying to protect you but as you train and also love your body and treat it well, it learns to trust you more. Most people tell you to train hard but that is horrible advice in my opinion. You actually want to train and also learn to not damage your body at all, even a little, while you are doing physically hard things.
This is why form is the most important thing when you’re working out. Everything else comes after. You have to stretch and learn good form. The cool thing about form is that it’s only something you’re learning for the first few months, after that you will naturally be good at finding the correct form in most new exercises because you understand the basics of what you’re doing.

I finally reached 55 KG, and I’m running around with steel parts back at work. It’s fun…
