Ok, wow. I'm really glad I started this thread because I had no idea that the Solgar PM Extract was that much more powerful than the Ainterol I was comparing it to. I found
this article recommending it, and even though it's an online article and I don't really trust it, taking something that my local health store carries is far more comfortable for me than ordering pills online. Also, it says that Ainterol may not have true PM and Solgar does, so I knew it was stronger.
I've been reading many success stories with Ainterol PM, men taking doses up to 3000mg daily for months, and posting their changes. So my thinking was that I want slow, steady changes to make sure that I'm getting what I want and managing side effects. My plan was to take a low dose daily (below what would be the equivalent of 1500mg Ainterol) for a month to kick-start physical changes, monitor closely to see how I react, and adjust from there. I would not mind at all if fat 'redistributed' to my chest, I think I'd really enjoy it actually, and while I would love my own pair of real boobs I do not want to develop breast buds in the near future.
Right now, I just want the ass and some curves. And perhaps I should have mentioned that I was a competitive rower for 4 years and it got me to college which is why I'm confident I can put in the physical work for it, figure out managing fat distribution, and why this specifically appeals to me. Rowing is almost all legs and back and I had real thing for the strong female rowers with curves. My ideal body goal would be something similar, like a muscular, badass shemale but I recognize that's more of a fetish and fantasy than how I want to live right now. I'd much rather be healthy, look sexy as hell, and be completely comfortable around people than grow boobs, despite how enticing they are for me to grow.
That said, I'm keeping some estrogen in my regimen so I can develop curves and see how it affects me, but I'm dropping the Solgar PM to one tablet daily, so 80mg of PM extract, so equivalent to 800mg of Ainterol PM I suppose, though it's probably less. I'm keeping the Saw Palmetto at 900mg daily but may drop it to 450mg daily. From my internet research it apparently does not have any impact on testosterone and muscle building, but does prevent T from becoming DHT which is responsible for things like balding, body hair, and aggression/energy. This is fine for me because Maca is an aphrodesiac and energy booster so I will still have energy for exercises, I only worry about this because while it supposedly works mainly on your hips it will have an effect on my chest. I started this thread to gauge that effect as I've seen photo results of people using PM and Maca and getting some really great curves, but yes, I recognize taking any estrogen like this will give me boobs eventually, which is why I'm being so careful.
Shirazm - I took a look at the sissy fitness and got some workouts for my workout plan, which is 90 minutes three times a week.
- 30 min cardio, rowing machine or running
- 30 min weights, 1st day focusing lower, 2nd day focusing upper, and 3rd focusing torso/lower
- 30 min abs/yoga/stretching
PleasantlyFascinated - Yes, I'm hoping to accomplish a lot with diet and exercise, I've also got a spreadsheet I'm updating daily with my diet, exercise, and supplements including the herbs I'm taking, caffeine, and protein. I was going to do carbs to keep my energy up, but reading more I think I'm going to start a Keto diet plan like you suggested. Since I'm also trying to lose weight and just get physically fit, it'll be interesting to see what effects this all has on me.
Sorry if this is all information overload, I'm pretty anal (lol cus I want a butt) and like keeping things organized. A few years ago I had a vericocele surgery that left me uncomfortable for about a year afterwards, and it was only about 2 weeks between noticing it and the surgery. It was the right choice, just very sudden. So even though I know that feminization is a part of my life, that I want this, and have been researching for months, I'm very wary about jumping into modifying my body and playing with my hormones.
Thanks very much for your responses! I would love to know more information or hear about experiences with maca if anyone has something to share.
