That’s an aesthetic issue, not a physiological one.

Many of us still think women look womenly when they put on muscle. Others associate any muscle gain whatsoever with masculinity. I don’t think this is a battle we’ll win simply be pointing out that muscle is gender-neutral and harder to put on for low-T individuals.

So; cause I started the thread i wanted to chime in again and report what she did the last few months.

After giving her the two otpions, and trying both of them, she came to the point that she likes the stenght training part more, and was motivated to keep doing that regularly.

She trained for three months with the Starting Strenght programm, and after 3 months she increased all her lifts, but not much, I told her to not focus on that programm so much that she has to increase the lifts every week, but she got a little stronger and happier, or better just a new hobby.

Now after looking the olympics she started athletics (track and field). She did this earlier, but stopped because her parents wanted her to focus more on school.

So finally sheÃ??Ã?´s doing something she likes the most, and learned some lifting which will keep her having more “options” for the future? .
