The exercises meant for my hips and ass are working splendidly. Reports from my wife and girlfriend apparently have me gaining a much more obvious hourglass shape and at least some semblance of an ass. I will continue these with more gusto than I have previously. If about 3 weeks will do this, then imagine what an entire year will do. I will have a proper figure damn it.

whats the exercises

[-] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

I'm actually not sure what the exercises themselves are called, so I apologize beforehand if this is a little awkward.

I use some resistance bands for this purpose. They're fairly cheap on Amazon and work fairly well. The exercises are as follows

Lay on side with band near the knees on upper leg. Upper leg at 45 degree angle with waist, lower leg at 90 degree angle with upper. I then separate my legs. I do both legs
I stand up with band in same place. I then kick laterally as far as I comfortably can. I do both legs as well though I'm careful with my left one due to injuries.
I then get on all fours with the band, again, in the same place. I kick outward with one leg and return it. I do both legs here
In same position, I instead kick backward and straighten the leg. Both legs once more

I do about 20 reps each leg on each exercise with the heaviest band, so that may be why the progress is so fast. I couple them with my physical therapy exercises that I have to do for surgery. I do 2 days on, 1 day off so the muscle can recover.

Also, if anybody who knows better than I can suggest more exercises, please do. I want to have hips.

Oh, I also am starting up a regimen with my Total Gym here soon with a ton of exercises with that. Just gotta find space to set it up again. Has a ton of leg, hips, and ass exercises that I want to take advantage of as well. My set even came with a workout routine in the box perfect for this purpose. So hopefully that does even more.

hard for me to imagine from text, you're on your side, would hip-thrusts be different enough you think? could they work?

so i'm imagining, have your back on an elevated surface (couch, bench, etc.) barbell across your hips and hold onto it with your hands, from a relaxed position thrust up so your back, spine, and legs make a 90° angle with your knee

i've see folks use dumbells and kettlebells, the weighted balls too, i think the benefit is you can use a ton of weight and progress in a straightforward way (increase weight, improve form)

How long have you been on HRT? What's your routine? I am also doing weightlifting for my ass and legs. It's been like 3x a week with squats, deads, hip thrusts, leg presses then a bunch of leg machine stuff. Trying to keep it to mid-heavy weight workouts (300lbs on deads for 5x5, 450 pounds on the leg press for 3x10, 185 for squats for sets of 8, 185 for hip thrusts for 3x10) and it's also working pretty well for me too. I've been going for about 2 months now but I am not getting the hourglass shape, just a fatter ass which is nice but I want hipssss

18 months now. I could just be getting the honeyed words from my loved ones, so who knows.
