If you do some searches on winny, anavar, women, primo you will find ALOT of info and alot of recorded experiences. Basically almost everything you know about AS as far as your own experience is almost moot when you apply it to a woman's body. The same basic rules apply to begin w/:
1) Does she have a good, disciplined diet & training regimen already. If she just started using the the 10 lb dumbbells and knows what protein mix is, wait a year or two before even considering AS. If the basic discipline isn't there, the AS is a waste of $.
2) What are her goals? "Toning up and losing some bodyfat" can be done with a clean diet, hard training and cardio. Additionally some AS such as winny may actually just create bloat.
3) Are her goals realistic? Nobody is going to look like Timea Majorova without years of training. Additionally, bodyfat is a more relavent measure than the scale - lots of women just want to "fit in a smaller size"
4) Is your girlfriend understanding the above? There are many alternatives to putting the chemicals and many variables to how the chemicals can affect each individual woman. Is she willing to spend the time to understand what she is putting in her body?
Now that you've (or more importantly she has)considered the above, understand the doses and side effects of AS for women-
- Winny might cause her menstrual cycle to stop.
- Winny can lower her voice
- Only do one on a first cycle, no stacking, to see how she reacts to one variable first.
- AS won't necessarily make her lose bodyfat - its not a thermogenic.
- Steroids will affect childbirth so pay extra attention to that while on AS and also for a good period (like 6+ months) afterwards
The thing is, at least once a week a guy will come on this board and ask the same question that you did. Consider how much time you spent learning about AS, doses, etc. and then throw in biological interaction with hormones and realize that one post will not give you all the answers you need. Even more important is that this stuff is going into her body, so SHE needs to understand the consequences and results and make sure that these are the things she truly is looking for and is also willing to experiment to see if those results will come as expected. For the small amount of actual medical (not anecdotal) info on men and AS, there is even less of it for women and the consequences are greater. That's why you got the answers you got. Not meant to attack, simply to highlight the importance of truly understanding it all.
Check the threads listed in the earlier post, and then spend lots of more time perusing the other threads on this board. You will probably find about 95% of your questions addressed in one form or another...
Good luck and please get your g/f in here to research herself as well!
