I actually still don’t understand this. Where does it go? No way your muscles are just atrophied all of a sudden. Like I’ve seen the studies but I don’t understand the mechanism

less testosterone means it’s harder to maintain and build muscle mass. so they kind of just fade away

So when you get those microtears that your body repairs when you work out, it builds less than it would for the average cis man?

basically, we basically get the same muscle growth level as a cis women, it’s all dependent on hormones. testosterone encourages protein synthesis, so having less means you get less muscle growth for the same amount of exercise
