What are the best steroids for women?

Steroid use is becoming more and more common among the female population. Many athletes are now learning about anabolic steroids, their benefits, how to properly take them for different purposes and what results they can expect when using these drugs responsibly.

If you have never used steroids before, it may be wise to learn more about them before jumping into the world of competitive bodybuilding or powerlifting. Always educate yourself with as much knowledge as possible on any subject matter that interests you! Remember that ignorance is not bliss in this case because your gains will suffer and some of the side effects can be irreversible.

I had my first child at 25, and after gaining those "freshman 15" pounds, I decided it was time to get back on track with a workout routine and more healthy eating habits. My first mistake was reading Muscle and Fitness Hers Magazine (do they even still make that one?) and getting caught up in all of the "hype" about female bodybuilders taking anabolic steroids.

Then I rushed out to buy myself some clenbuterol for weight loss because it said right there in black-and-white that you could take this for fat burning! It wasn't until I stopped using oral clenbuterol when I noticed how much rage & aggression I had been feeling. I think it was from the clenbuterol, but I can't say for sure because I didn't do any blood work to check on my hormone levels at that time.

Anyway, enough about me...let's get back to "the best." There are quite a few steroids out there that women can use effectively without worrying about virilization or other negative side effects. As far as bulking goes, you'll need some testosterone which will be your base compound of choice. If you're more interested in leaning out instead of gaining size and strength, then trenbolone would be your primary steroid of choice by stacking with an oral like Anavar.

Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate, and Testosterone Propionate are the most common esterified forms of this hormone that you will see available. All three compounds can be effectively used for bulking or cutting phases. These drugs exhibit a long half-life and they stay active in your system for up to two weeks, depending on the specific drug itself (Prop is faster acting than Cyp).

Aromatization can be an issue when running testosterone at any dose over 200mg per week so it's suggested that you use some type of anti-estrogen such as nolvadex or arimidex. If you're new to steroids then 25mg every other day would be a good place to start for either bulking or cutting cycles.

Dianabol is a popular anabolic steroid due to the quick gains in size and strength it can provide. While taking this orally, you will experience rapid increases in weight which are mostly lean muscle mass if done correctly with adequate protein intake & calories. This drug does aromatize heavily so nolvadex or arimidex should be used to counter that side effect.

With that being said, there are plenty of successful female bodybuilders who have used d-bol during their contest prep phases successfully without worrying about masculizing effects because they knew how to use it properly! Some women need not worry about body hair growth when using milder steroids like dbol too even when keeping doses moderate or high at 40mg-50mg ed. If you are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness, then the risk will be there regardless of the steroid used...just something to keep in mind!

Equipoise is another mild anabolic that can provide decent gains when used responsibly. It doesn't aromatize heavily so gyno shouldn't be a concern here. Unlike its cousin nandrolone, this drug exhibits less water retention but has more of an affinity for promoting red blood cell production for better oxygenation of muscle tissue which can aid recovery & growth while reducing fatigue during intense training.

It may not have the same "kick" as testosterone or dbol, but it certainly worth your time if you are looking for a way to maximize lean muscle gains without having to worry about gyno or other drastic alterations in physical appearance.

Trenbolone is one of the most popular anabolic steroids on the market today, and for good reason. It offers significant advantages over testosterone regarding fat loss due to its strong nutrient partitioning effects. Trenbolone binds strongly with glucocorticoid receptors which prevents cortisol from initiating lipolysis...the breakdown of triglycerides into free fatty acids so they can be taken up by adipose cells & used as fuel.

This greatly increases the anabolic activity of trenbolone since you are storing more nutrients inside muscle tissue rather than being broken down & excreted through the kidneys. Trenbolone also has the ability to reduce endogenous estrogen levels & even block its activity in certain tissues, making it great for preventing gyno or bloat when using aromatizing compounds like testosterone/dianabol.

Halo is an oral steroid that shows a lot of promise by being very mild yet still providing results. It's not nearly as harsh on your liver nor does it elevate blood pressure to any great extent so you can use Halo safely at higher doses with little worry of side effects.

As far as gains are concerned, they should be comparable to what you would expect from Primobolan (very good) only without needing such high doses to achieve this effect. Since it doesn't aromatize into estrogen, you don't have to worry about recomposition effects either.

Methasterone is the mildest oral steroid I will recommend for females who want to cut & lean out without any problems. It tends to convert to a more potent DHT compound but it only binds weakly with the receptor so there shouldn't be much if any risk of hair loss or other related side effects due to this conversion.

If you do run methyldrostanolone for extended periods of time, make sure your liver enzymes are kept in check as this drug can put a strain on that organ over time especially when used at high doses (which isn't recommended regardless).

Sustanon is a 4-ester compound that has been used for years in the medical field to treat delayed puberty. However, this drug can be very useful to women too because it exhibits relatively low androgenic/estrogenic effects which makes it desirable during cutting phases...especially when running alongside steroids like trenbolone or anavar. It's usually stacked with testosterone propionate & testosterone phenylpropionate to provide balanced results while minimizing risk of side effects.

Anavar is another great oral steroid for females who are looking to cut down without having huge problems looming over their head for potential health risks later on due to dosage. Anavar itself isn't particularly harsh on your cardiovascular system, and is generally considered excellent for cardiovascular health in most cases.

However, it is an oral steroid so there are some risks involved especially when running high doses...but if you keep your dose reasonable, you'll be fine. In addition to fat loss benefits & added benefit of not having to worry about estrogen conversion, Anavar can also promote LH production which can help with fertility issues in women who want children someday while still on cycle.

20-OH-Progesterone helps regulate progesterone levels in the body. Many females can supplement with this compound without concern simply because their own natural levels of progesterone are low enough that they don't have any type of buildup or negative side effects. The other benefit is many women can experience enhanced breast tissue growth when running this steroid which makes it popular among female athletes.

This drug is not an oral steroid but rather a synthetic derivative of the natural hormone testosterone that cannot convert to estrogen or DHT. It binds strongly with SHBG, making more of the active free form available for use throughout the body...even in muscles where IGF-1 would normally be inhibited by SHBG. There are no known side effects since it's not an aromatizing steroid & doesn't inhibit HPTA function like prohormones do either...making steroids like these very safe for females to run if desired.

As one would expect, Superdrol will give you strong strength & size increases with little to no water retention. It's a DHT derivative which has been shown in studies to be very weak on aromatase conversion...less than 1/10th as strong as testosterone at converting to estrogen by weight. In fact, it doesn't have the ability to bind strongly with the receptor so you can get away with using low doses of this without having any problems whatsoever.

While most anabolic steroids are not recommended for women due mostly to their harsh nature and propensity toward virilization side effects, there is a select few that will work just fine for ladies wanting a boost in strength or size while minimizing risk of adverse reactions.

This list combines recommendations from my own personal usage (which I'll detail below) as well as the opinions of knowledgeable professionals in the community. The list is not designed to be either comprehensive or all-encompassing, but rather a quick read for females who are looking for the best options available that won't compromise their health in the process.

It should also be noted that all forms of steroid use carry risks regardless of sex or age...women have just learned over time to push through many obstacles which men are not constrained with due to ignorance.

Hence, it is important even if you are an adult female using these drugs responsibly to understand what potential side effects you might expect so you can take steps to minimize your risk while maximizing your gains (yes, this means doing things like keeping your doses not too high, running on the lower end of normal dosing and taking only what you need to do the job).

There are far more products out there than will be mentioned here so please understand that this article also serves as a reference for which lady bodybuilders can expect positive results from some of these substances. No list like this could possibly cover every product...but it does give a good overview for those who want to cut through all of the misinformation out there and get straight to something based in fact which they can actually use.
