putting on size as a femle

[bestrong89]

please withhold your judgment.
I was a natural female figure competitor but do not like the look of the natural muscle. my goal is to create a muscular physique so I can compete with the IFBB and figure competitor. I am 6 weeks into a cycle of equipoise I think I have made gains I will be getting a DEXA scan done on the 5th December to see if I have gained any muscle. I am currently in offseason and have 8 months till i shred again.

I train heavy
on around 2000cal 170g protein
70kg
I'm 168cm
around 18% body fat
28 years old
female

any advice on best cycle to achieve a larger physique.

You mean other than the cycle you're on right now - which might have worked.

for someone who is active 2000 calories a day at your weight is too low. you should be closer to 3000 calories if you want to gain mass

that's true ill wait to see what the DEXA scan says in December.

i only stepped off stage 8 weeks ago so im trying to reverse diet out, 3000cal i couldn't imagine that, in a good way i love eating food.

Good. I mean if it worked do it again (or close to it) right?

that's true, i sort of did all of my own research before starting on this cycle. I feel like eq is the only injectable women can do . just trying to work out if there is even a better option for super sizing. also is it correct that i need the same time off that i was on for? im running 75mg for 8 weeks. your being very helpfull thank you. there are not may people i can talk to about this as everyone is very judgmental, i love female bodybuilders haha

Time off is reputed to be cycle length + PCT. So if a cycle was 8 weeks and PCT 3 weeks then you have another 11 weeks off (8+3) before going back on.

I'm not sure what's to be judgemental about - you lift weights and workout. Same as a guy. No big deal.

i was under the impression that women don't need to do a cycle of PCT because we need our estrogen to rise after cycle.
