Bodybuilding for eunuchs

[Rafaella (imported)]

I'm on weekly injections of 100mg T. cypionate up from 75mg. The training is going well, I estimate I've recovered 50pc of the strength I lost.

At that dosage, you'd be best advised to get total and free testosterone tested. You may find that you're in the normal or high range of total testosterone, but your free testosterone is quite low. The reference range of your free testosterone to total should be from 1 - 2%.

As much as 99% of your testosterone binds with SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) and won't be available to attach to androgen receptors. Only free testosterone can bind.

Bound testosterone will go through the aromatase process and end up being converted into estrogen... which is what leads to 'roid gut' (fat around the middle) and other feminizing effects.

I'm not a bodybuilder; I'm an avid bicyclist (put 580 miles on my bike last month) and found myself getting fat around the middle and developing breast tissue. After I was castrated, my dose of testosterone cypionate had been increased to 100 mg every other week.

The average adult male produces from 5 - 10 mg of testosterone daily. Since I'm 59, I went with the low end and changed my dosing of testosterone to 50 mg every 10 days.

A month on the new dosing, my total testosterone was 248 ng/dL (ref range 240 - 950) and my free testosterone was 4.71 (ref range 3.87 - 14.7).

The gut and boobs are slowly going away. I'm also not experiencing the peaks and valleys of having been on a every other week dosing scheme.

One thing I'm doing now (completely with the blessing of my doctor) is working to lower SHBG and increase testosterone bioavailability through supplementation. My theory is keep my total testosterone at the lower end of the reference range while increasing my free testosterone.

Have a look at https://www.anabolicmen.com/how-to-lowe ... naturally/ and http://www.criticalbench.com/increase-t ... naturally/ for some ideas on that end.

Another thing I did at the outset of the lower dosing was a protocol to 'flush' excess estrogen. Have a look at https://www.anabolicmen.com/the-estroge ... -protocol/ for some ideas on that.

Thanks for the information, I'll be checking it.

Another great site that you could check would be https://www.excelmale.com/. There are a lot of information there on TRT especially if you are keen on having the best levels of testosterone for your health. It was my primary resource before I was castrated. I'm still doing bi-weekly 50 mg shots of testosterone enantate and I'm at my target levels as per laboratory tests. No loss of muscle mass for me since my castrated last March this year since I never stopped taking TRT.

I thought it was time for an update on the training. My situation is different now in that I have given up on T replacement which didn't really work for me and now take low dose estrogen instead. Well, the weight training routine that I have been using has gone surprisingly well. After about 2 months on estrogen I have only lost strength in some of the upper body exercises. In power lifting, for example bench press, I am down about 10pc, for dead lifts and particularly squats I am up 10 - 15pc compared to when I was on TRT. So it kind of feels like my strength has shifted downwards. The way my body looks now 1 year post castration is good muscle definition especially in the legs but not anywhere bulky, smooth, almost no body hair, no balls, no scrotum, no pubes and a small penis, for anyone who sees me in the showers an obvious eunuch. I am very popular with certain boys at the gym who often offer to help me. Back home with my girlfriend I'm a complete sissy boy, panties, female clothes and sex toy in the bedroom. I assume this would be very odd for most vanilla people but for me now eunuch body builder one minute and eunuch sissy boy the next feels completely normal.

I think that sort of echoes my findings.

I went 7-8 months without T and didn't loose too much strength about 10pc.

I have spoken to others on various forums and they suffered more dramatic effects.

I guess its all down to your body chemistry.

Hey @Rafaella,

First, sorry to hear about the mumps. There is a vaccine for mumps and every parent should make sure their children are inoculated.

Two things come to mind after reading your post. If you weren't vaccinated against mumps, then it's possible you missed other vaccines. If it's possible to get your vaccine records, then talking to your doctor about a schedule for getting vaccinated would be a good idea (change that a great idea). Mumps, measles, rubella, chicken pox, shingles, Hep A, Hep B, HPV, meningitis, tenuous and don't forget that annual flu shot, all have vaccines which can prevent future mishaps as bad or worse than the one you had with mumps.

Couldn't let this pass without giving you a loud "hurrah!" for your vaccination stance. I agree. Get every vaccination you can. It's the cheapest and most effective medicine there is. Anti-vaccination zealots are enemies of the people.

The mumps vaccine was new and ignored by me and my parents when my balls were ravaged by the nasty little virus in 1967. I suffered the pain and disfigurement for the next 50 years. What I wouldn't give now for a little insight back then!

Medical personnel sometimes don't help. When my wife and I elected for the Hep A & B vaccines, we were challenged with "Why do you want to get this?" Our answer: "Because we can."

Hi Rafaella, found your update very interesting. I'm about 6 months on low dose E and have found some of the same effects as you. I'm not into bodybuilding but like to keep in good condition and am a gym regular. My physique is slim and athletic but like you I have have lost some upper body strength. To compensate though I am stronger in the thighs and gluteus area. Like you said it feels like some strength has shifted downwards and I can feel a slightly lower center of gravity. This suits me fine as I'm really into Winter sports like alpine and nordic skiing and ice skating. Physically I feel great, general fitness, endurance and health are all good. My appaerance has changed slightly, I have slight chest chest development, around 34A so not worth buying a bra for, 1 - 2 inches on my hips, softer skin and am beginning to develop a rounder bottom. I don't go in the showers or locker room like you do, it is generally assumed that I am a girl although somewhat boyish. I think some of the other girls think there's something unusual about me but can't put their finger on it and the boys usually ignore me, I don't think anyone there realizes that I'm a eunuch.

This thread is important to me. I believe that besides YMMV that physical development after castration is based on research using involuntary castration subjects. People like accident victims or done for medical reasons. I really am thankful some of you have spoken up here and in the past in other threads. One fantasy for me is that a study would be conducted on this subject over 5 years and they would need volunteers to participate. Yup I would be in that line. BTW where I understand the role of testosterone in emotion, I also believe that studies on depression are equally skewed for the same reasons. Not that depression does not happen, but I wonder if a group of expertly informed males who each got a letter and cut were studied I believe the result would be very different. This is like the crap science of penis size and women’s response. No study on female response and penis size has ever been conducted that used males with penises. Q-tips touching vaginal walls are a scientific joke.
