I have listened to so many peoples advice. I have done what the trainer has told me to do but I just can't feel my pecs when it comes to chest exorcises....I feel as though I'm going to be stuck with a concaved pec area forever....

Hello friends.

I've never been a gym person, and I have a lot of things to consider, but I was told by multiple doctors that I must start going. So here are a few things I'm dealing with:

1. I'm 2 months post top surgery and wanna start without my chest and arms, then include them (physio therapist says at the 3 months point, but idk I'm anxious about scar stretching)

2. I have hypermobility and fibromyalgia that mainly affect my hips and lower back + possible connective tissue disorder

3. I have no idea about the gym but my doctor said to do machines only.

4. My goal is to build strength and possibly lose a bit of weight

Can someone tell me the names of machines for what uses.

And if someone can help me put them into a little 3 day plan or so

I'm going in blind bc I've mainly done home workouts before, and I'm too autistic to go without a plan, so I've been procrastinating.

Bit of a stupid question, bc I think I might already know the answer to it.

I’ve been working out consistently for a bit over 6 months. I focus quite a lot of back muscles, specially bc I have scoliosis, so bc of that my back has grown quite a bit (despite being pre-T). Anyways, I’ve recently noticed that I’ve been finding wearing my current binder much more uncomfortable than before. My chest and back start hurting much faster, but specially I’ve been finding it a bit harder to breath with it on (so ofc not a good sign). Bc of that I’m thinking of getting myself a new binder, that’s a size up (I currently wear an S one, so I’d get an M). My only thing is that my chest size didn’t change (specially I didn’t manage to gain much pictorial muscles yet), so I fear that if I get a size up, it will look weirdly loose in the front.

All in all, my question is, should I buy a size up now that my back has become larger?

I’ve been on T for 6 years
Started with gel and 3 out of those 6 is with shots.

I’ve always had chronic pain but noticed my body is significantly more tight when I go to the gym. My muscles want to enlarge but my tendons and ligaments seem to suffer simultaneous, sitting me out the gym when I need to recover.

I’m wondering what people’s gym workouts look like. How hard you go or how long you go?
And what peoples diets tend to look like?
