Masculinization of the face...

[danboy]

When female bbers actually look like a guy, the square jaw, cheek bones etc. its obviously due to, in part at least, low body fat on the face.

But is it also due to muscle changes over the face??
Changing the appearance of the face

And/or chnages in the bone structure??? I.e. is the use of anabolic steroids by a female likely to cause a jutting jaw, through bone growth??

Or is the fat loss just the main cause???

 

[SonnyBlack]

do steroids cause jaw growth in any of you....not growth hormone...steroids???

Not hardly..................not even!

 

[Anodyne]

Female bodybuilders with masculined facial features are largely due to Growth Hormone more than steroids

 

[NinjaX]

that growth hormone is what attributes to that look in female body builders, it takes a shorter time to notice on a female over a guy due to smaller stature

Its not growth hormone its androgens! The freaky look that female bodybuilders have is 90 percent because they are taking to much male hormones. Male hormones make the face manly. What is hard to understand about that? Growth hormone does too, but it is not the only thing, and it is less effective.

You have neglected to mention the fact that they are in a starved (diet) condition, hence there facial structure will appear more prominant i.e. manly regardless of drug use.

And of course testosterone has masculinizing effects. MAsculinizing includes square manly face.

Female bodybuilders.

Square jaw = no fat on the face

Round jaw = off season

I've seen the same women contest ready and off-season. The face changes dramatically regardless of what they are taking androgen wise. Its primarily a fat issue. However, the 5 o'clock shadow is a different story. Heavy GH use is another.

Once the bone growth centers stop..........roids have shit to do with bone.........geeeeeeeeeeez doesn't anybody read? Women get masculinized on steroids...but it has nothing to do with bone growth.

DCS is absolutely right. GH? Low body fat? No. Look at women long disatnce runners, and tell me if they look like the freaky looking bitches we see on here.

Are you guys retarded?

IT IS NOT ANABOLICS. IT IS ANDROGENS!

Look up in the dictionary what androgens are and what they do. Once you spot the term, "SECONDARY MALE CHARACTERISTICS" hit yourself upside the head with a frying pan.

Geez. DCS gets a gold star! lol
