I think it is fair to say that if you continue to use your muscles in a serious manner you will not lose strength. But I can also say that if you do not use them and continue a heavy pattern of PM usage, you will indeed see change in that area. Since achieving a more feminine appearance was my goal from the beginning I have deliberately avoided any exercise that worked my arms, chest or lateral muscles. As a result, while on herbal HRT, I have lost a great deal of muscle mass in my arms, shoulders, and especially my lates, which have essentially disappeared (Yay!).
Use it or lose it, I guess, which is fine with me...tee hee
