Here's a link to a really interesting article I read the other day-
D-Cups and D-Bol - Women and Anabolic Steroids
Here's part of it;
"Now that we're vaguely on the same page, we can go over some basics regarding female anabolic use. It's pretty common to hear people say things like "even fitness competitors use a low dose of ‘Var or Winny here and there...maybe some Clenbuterol". This is absolute bullshit. Competition level doses I've seen are actually much higher than people think... basically around 10 mgs of Anavar (never less), stacked with an equal amount of Winstrol, and a bunch of Clenbuterol. I can't remember the last time I've read a female bodybuilder or fitness girl's drug program and not seen Growth Hormone in it- usually about 2IU's a day (interestingly, IGF-1 hasn't really busted onto the female anabolic scene yet, nor has MGF or the other peptides). Thyroid hormone is used in nearly every woman's precontest phase, and doses can get pretty outrageous here. Proviron is pretty big when they can get it, and most of them take the same dose I do (25-50mgs/day). Some take more. Primobolan, both tabs and injectable, are popular with women, when there's enough cash around to afford it. Most of the upper level competitors usually don't have that kind of cash when they first break onto the national scene, though. Why? Because breast implants are expensive- and the last show I went to, there were only four that weren't fake. And I don't mean four women, I mean four breasts. "
Steroid use is such a taboo topic so I must admit to being surprised at the number of articles out there that discuss the use of steroids amongst figure competitors. It never even occurred to me that it would be an issue, but then again I am pretty naive about that side of drug use.
Just to be clear, I am neither anti nor pro steroid use, but I think it's interesting that it's NOT just the massive body builders who use steroids- looks like some of those cute, slender "healthy" looking gals in fitness and figure also use performance enhancing drugs.
I guess at the end of the day if you want to make a living (or try to anyway) being a fitness competitor/model diet, hard training and good eating can only take you so far, because there will always be someone who is more genetically blessed... I suppose it's a way of increasing their chances of making it in such a highly competitive arena.
Anyway, thought this might interest some of you.
Personally I'm training really hard and have my sights set for entering the novice division in figure next October. I'm training 3-4 days a week at my local gym and one day a week in Frankston with a lovely woman who coaches lots of competitors (Andrea Excell).
I'm excited to be competing and am eating more than I have ever eaten in my life
Best of all I'm already seeing some real changes in my physique- I actually had a guy say to me "Wow! You look fit!" as I was walking to the shops the other day and a few people have asked me where I train, so I guess I'm starting to look like I work out.
I'm getting my first progress shots done in the next week or so, so I'll post them here if I don't look too shit-house
Hope everyone's well,
Em
