Is there some kind of condition that might enable a woman to build up a lot of lean muscle without steroids?

Posted

There might be, but I'm not aware of any.

Sure, you could have a myostatin deficiency.

 

Pretty unlikely though.

Yeah that was what I was thinking. Or you could have unusually high naturally occurring testosterone levels. But like anyone, some people just genetically respond well to weight training, with or without steroids.

It must be a combination of things.

Hmmm. there is a dog that goes to my vet that looks like its owner gives it steroids but its actually a health condition. Not sure if it is something people can have too. I'll be sure to ask next time I'm in and then check to see if people can have the same condition.

That would be awesome :) . It must be something like that, because she looks extremly strong and muscular, she trains too of course.

I think the last pic there is photoshopped but who knows, stranger things have happened.

Yeah yeah! I called her (my vet) to ask because I know her outside of just taking my dog to her. That is exactly what the dog's condition is and yes people and other animals can have it too! so weird!

Learn something new everyday! Well, when I'm lucky anyway. ;)

Ooo that explains it. She puts many (female) professional bodybuilders who use steroids to shame, I didnt notice odd hair or syrings or weird capsules while poking around, so that might be it. Thanks for calling the vet :)
