CM,
Many years ago, around 1980, I was deep in ambivalence between being a muscle man and a sexy woman.
That was when Rachel McLish won Miss Olympia. Remember Bev Fancis, OMG, massive. It made me think... why not be a muscular woman?
What a great compromise. I never achieved that goal exactly but it was a way to move forward. I could at least, continue to work out.
I did not know anything about NBE at the time. Cross dressing was my only path to femininity.
I had a CD friend, who had a CD friend, who was a bodybuilder. I asked my friend how he handled this situation.
He said that guy just kept working out and getting bigger... and just bought bigger clothes! That did not sound ideal to me but it seemed my only option.
I got obsessed and messed it up by going too big. I increased my chest size from 37" to 44". I should not have done any rib cage expansion exercises.
37" would have been a real decent band size for a bra, 44" is not. I was not thinking ahead and just wanted to pack on muscle.
I was also using only anabolic supplements.
If I were starting over today, I would do the NBE, combined with
natural workouts. I think things would work out much better.
I know that you are already big. My best advice would be to quit all T and other anabolics, and start your NBE.
I would advise against BO, since you are still "on the fence" and use either PM or FG, which are easier to control.
Maybe you should consider CrossFit style workouts? You can tell any curious friends that you have decided to work out for health rather than size & strength.
When they see you lose size, it will make sense to them.
