If she isn't on steriods, she's only a lot of supplements.

You cant link to youtube o.O ?

No, sorry. WH doesn't allow outbound links of any kind. You may want to read through the site rules and FAQs real quick.

No, you're not getting that large unless you use drugs. Supplements will not get a woman that large, either.

I'm sure there are some statistical outliers of women who have absurdly high levels of circulating testosterone which makes them man-like. But that's very much an exception to the rule.

One of the FDA websites lists steroid use side-effects as:

Less serious side effects include acne, oily hair, purple or red spots on the body, swelling of the legs and feet, and persistent bad breath. A kid or teen who takes steroids might not grow as tall as he or she was supposed to grow. Some other serious and long-lasting side effects are:

•premature balding
•dizziness
•mood swings, including anger and sadness
•seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations)
•extreme feelings of mistrust or fear (paranoia)
•problems sleeping
•nausea
•vomiting
•trembling
•high blood pressure that can damage the heart or blood vessels over time
•aching joints
•greater chance of injuring muscles and tendons
•jaundice or yellowing of the skin; liver damage
•trouble peeing
•increased risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer
These risks affect girls:

•increased facial hair growth
•deeper voice, like a man's
•shrinking of the breasts
•period changes
Specific risks for boys include:

•shrinkage of the testicles and penis problems
•pain when urinating (peeing)
•breast development

Other outward signs I've seen are pimples (acne) on the back and chest plus extreme or inappropriate outbursts of anger ('roid rage).

Check out the references above by going to vetted medical sites.

Oh, yeah Like if I think somebody I know is taking them, should I approach her

should you approach a woman taking steroids? ... IDK - it's difficult to have long-term relationships with people who have serious self-destructive habits.

If they're bodybuilder-muscular, they're on steroids. However, the problem is most women have a screwed perception of what "really muscular" looks like. Invariably most women I encounter believe any women who aren't stick thin (which I label the "crackhead look"), then they're bulky.

A female can certainly be defined and ripped without being bulky or using steroids.

And many women would call her big or muscular... bu they're simply unaccustomed to this physique.

And are steroids bad for a woman ?

Steroids have potentially damaging side effects for anyone who uses them. I'll note that much of the dangers can be mitigated with proper use and they'll even subside after cessation of use. The media likes to dictate perception and it invariably makes steroids out to be deadly drugs that turn people into lunatics... which couldn't be further from the truth.

That said, there are risks associated with the use of any drug.

Like if I think somebody I know is taking them, should I approach her ?

Hmm, that's tough. Are you close with her? If so, you could certainly question her or better yet, express your concerns. Ultimately though, it's her choice if, in fact, she's using.

You'd be amazed by how many people do actually use steroids. It's a personal decision and for some, the rewards outweigh the risks, especially when used intelligently.

I agree with Krista. It's the abuse of steriods that causes people problems. If she's taking them, it's her choice. You can certainly ask her and tell her how you feel about it, but that's about it.
