I feel the need to clarify and/or apologize if my post seemed pointed at you
@GearGodess bc I assure you it was not. You're the best point of reference this girl has because you are a woman and have experienced-based input here. However, you aren't the only one that made suggestions as to incorporating other compounds and dosage protocol in both this thread and the other identical one she started if you look back.
Again, if you reread my initial post I stand behind the fact that if she was a 20 year old male with real opportunity to make a living off his/her body I would say go for it. I also believe based on my experience here 99% of members would say contrary to my belief, and blast a 20 year old male for starting a cycle then coming here for help. I don't believe women should not use AAS/PEDs. I've dated two NPC competitors, one natural the other not so much, both were the epitome of feminism so I'm not sure where that came from. I won't post pics of them out of respect as we are no longer together and they are still active competitors, however many members have seen pics of one or both posted here.
I'm literally one of the LEAST judgmental members here and have the post history to prove it, I never play the "big brother" card. My issues aren't with the OP being a 20y/o female running gear, they are with the senior membership here being sloppy, overlooking the basics lately. Anavar is "mild" sure, but it doesn't come without it's risks and neither do substances like ephedrine and clenbuterol...I base that on the fact I took 40mcg this morning and shaking like a leaf as I write this. I don't believe ANY of the advice in this thread was "dangerous" or not intended to be constructive towards her particular goals...it may be the same exact advice members would prescribe once we have all the facts. My intention is not to silence the women's community or discourage female athletes from using PEDs to achieve their goals.
I do believe that prescibing
any advice without getting the entire picture in regards to age, diet, training, experience....is misguided. Should be the first questions asked imo and I stand by that, which is all I was hoping to illustrate here. I made an assumption the reason we were all overlooking the basics is bc she's an attractive female in a predominantly male board. I think some other assumptions were made as well in regards to her diet and training, and her access to the "inner circle" of the competitive bodybuilding world. My personal belief is these assumptions are problematic for a couple reasons. If she indeed is surrounded with such high level competitors that she has access to the best drugs available, why is she on an anonymous board seeking advice on winning her pro card?
If her goals are to "tighten up all over and make my shoulders pop more", why hasn't anyone let her know that drugs don't make shoulders grow...Presses and raises make shoulders grow. Maybe we all assumed she knows that as well?
Now this one is pointed at you
@GearGodess , you have a ton of knowledge and experience and have been around the boards long enough to know..."women are more in tune with their bodies so they will know if something is wrong".
Come on now you know you gotta come with something better than that.
I didn't mean to post this in your log @ OP....apologies that's cardinal sin numero uno around here. This post is just identical to the one you made in the other thread. Welcome to Meso, I'm the outspoken dick
