    Legitimate question: I’ve seen the docs on bodybuilding women and when they take T it’s usually kinda obvious, the whole jawline changes etc. Doesn’t seem to be the case here, but the physique almost seems impossible naturally! Any backstory?

      You usually see the masculinization when women take crazy high doses and/or run crazy long cycles trying to maximize muscle growth.

      This gal is is likely running little to no testosterone, and running compounds that have a low risk of virilization like anavar. Probably doing shorter cycles with a proper post cycle therapy to minimize the side effects.

      She’s also in good lighting with a solid pump which can make you look way more impressive than you normally would lol. And she isn’t crazy lean either so she looks a lot more “full” than she would if she were going for being stage ready for a bodybuilding comp. Carrying extra fat has a feminizing effect.
