Firsthand information, my friend Stacy is steroid free. I have known her for awhile.

Proper nutrition and gym is her lifestyle for long time. She lives like a nun, gym is her monastery. She is not interested in showing off or compete. Her friends like me and others are pushing her to document her achievements. I think her muscles are extremely dense and she is extremely strong compared to many fbbs. I think it is impressive that she stays around 70kg at 172cm while having small bones.

She does look like a steroid free body.. Usually I can tell by the delts

Stacy is incredibly impressive. I’ve been following her for a while

Maybe like this

i think steroids did even not exist in her time.

Yes, I met some circus freak girl, kind of hippie, a friend of a girlfriend of mine. Well just from her circus routines she had not such big mass but when she flexed there was hard tennis ball bicep. She also was kind of hippie so I don't think she took anything.

Also when I started dating this girlfriend (I just remember), she used to mess around with this friend of hers, and she even have some pretty abs on display (she then kind of quickly lost them as she stop exercising).

Steroids wasn't available in those days.

You're delusional.

"Your friend" is not natty by any stretch of the imagination.

She likely used creatine.

No. She’s absolutely on something. Nothing super intense but definitely something. Jessica Gunian is probably natural especially since she hasn’t really grown much in a while. She seems to have a nice, athletic base them keeps working on it little by little. She’s basically the same body type as my wife who’s definitely never taken anything. My wife has bigger legs but that’s just genetic. Just about everyone on this site is on something. Obviously a few outliers but most are.

Ida was, but isn't now. On her earliest 3 pages at this site, she used to be unnaturally lean and veiny. https://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/10/?na... But since then perhaps she realized the terrible consequences if she was to continue. So she hasn't been on anything ever since. Otherwise she couldn't look feminine now anyway.

We can see she was beginning to endure some hairloss at this time. Good choice she ended this.

If you guys believe she is natural you have no clue whatsoever about bodybuilding.

Agreed with you and superiorgenetics, absolutely 0% chance she's natty. It would be hard for even a dude to naturally achieve that level of leaness and muscularity without years of proper lifting and nutrition (and even then it's difficult), let alone a female. Some people have such a warped view of what's naturally attainable on this site.

Spot on.

When in doubt, people need to ask themselves, "could a man who suffers from low testosterone achieve that physique naturally?" If the answer is no, then there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that any woman could. People just need to stop and look at the extent of the disparity between healthy levels of testosterone in men and women and they'd understand. Like you said, even if their test levels were normal, it'd be hard for the majority of guys to achieve that physique.

Stacey looks great, I'm sure she has an insane work ethic. That doesn't change the fact that she's using serious dosages of PEDs to achieve that physique. Like, come on, she isn't even remotely close to being a borderline case. Some people here are nuts.

That may be a bit unfair. I think many fans who aren't bodybuilders themselves just don't know any better.. and it's made worse by the ridiculously large number of athletes who claim natural.

The voice depth is the clue, also body odor. Roided FBB can have feminine voice.

What do you think of Fan Xiaofan ? This level of muscularity looks pretty natural to me.

Totally agreed. I think looking at truly natural male bodybuilders is instructional, and will put a lot of FBB's in perspective. Stacy has leaner and harder conditioning than most of those guys, and this would never be possible in a million years.

I honestly don't give it any mind. Steroids are a feature of bodybuilding, not a bug. At this point, it's part of the required "equipment" of this sport.. just like a helmet is for football. Any serious bodybuilder - male or female - simply cannot compete without them. Knowing and mastering your drug regimen is a major factor for success.

There's no shame in it. I wish that these drugs were totally legalized so everyone could access and use them more safely.

She might be, then again a friend of mine who most people would consider tiny, 5' 100-110lb but fairly lean, has used anavar a couple of times over the years.

Perhaps some of these gals have found ways to naturally increase their testosterone levels.

That's what many users here don't seem to understand. If they are on steroids it does not mean they're automatically taking the maximum amount their body can possibly handle.

The vast majority of women have roughly 10% of testosterone naturally being produced in their body as men do, and sometimes that disparity is closer to only 5%. There are women who are genetically gifted with higher levels, and they are likely the ones being referenced with impressive physiques while claiming to be natural. However they could still be dosing in small amounts, to give them a little boost in muscle mass while maintaining most of their femininity. And yes there are alternatives to anavar, etc. such as SARMS which have recently become more popular.

I would say that, assuming Stacey (pictured above) is as natural as is claimed, she would be the peak. Meaning the absolute top .00001% of expectations. Most women will plateau much smaller than her though, if they are 100% natural.

Well, even the guys can't build much muscle mass naturally.

Sure they can, there's plenty of really muscular guys who are entirely natural. The issue is being massive AND lean. And building that huge V-shape that's such a part of bodybuilding. As a rule, steroids spur extensive growth in the delts, lats, and traps because those muscles have more androgen receptors. A user will always have superior development in those particular muscles and they're considered crucial in any kind of judging.

There is a pretty nice evidence based article about this topic: https://mennohenselmans.com/natural-muscular-...

Author of the article is the personal trainer of these women and he's pretty confident that they're natural:

There's also a German version of the article: https://gannikus.de/medizin/das-koennen-fraue...

I think these physiques are realistic.

Kaitlyn Vera insists that she's natural

Seems hard to believe, but you can never know for sure, maybe she has exceptional genetics combined with years of serious training

But it has to be noted that she has quite a roid voice so... I don't have a video of her before but if her voice did change then she's 100% on the juice.

If she always had that voice naturally then she may be natural and she just has a high natural testosterone, which happens sometimes in women.

😂 and yes Santa is for real too

I was present when this pic was taken:

This girl was 100% natty at this time; she competed in NPC and MM and you could tell she was natty compared to the other competitors who had more enhanced shape, size, and leanness. She was under 5 feet tall, can't remember her weight, I think 105 pounds, and had 12" biceps.

12" biceps seems to be the limit for chicks who lift. Any bigger, and they are on gear and/or they have bigger bones (taller)

I miss her flexing updates. Fantastic arms. Cute too

Thanks for sharing that, and it was an interesting read. He does seem to know what he's talking about, although he does sound a little naive when he says

It also makes no sense for my clients to lie to me about drug usage, as then I can’t help them as effectively.

It might not make any sense, but it doesn't stop the average "social influencer" to lie about it anyway. In their mind they have this image they have to maintain. If they've already branded themselves as all natural (even if they're not), they will lie about it to the bitter end.

It's not to say that the women shown in the article aren't natural. I don't know them personally, and don't know enough about them in general to speak on their behalf.
