I have been told Primo is a gear that is ok for women.
-- var is safer & more predictable. Primo is a longer acting esther, is much harder on your hair, voice & skin.
I know a few females at the gym that are on, but I have never asked what the heck they are taking.
-- what about WHY they are taking? Most them want to "lean out & tone up" whatever the fuck that means. And 9 times out of 10 they have no idea how to diet or train for what the "look" they want and have no idea teh sides - just that some guy told them ***whatever AAS*** would get them that look.
I wonder if they have to worry about ant-e's and pct?
-- good question. I would hope that they don't just randomly start running a nice big fat dose of arimidex because their bf told them that's what he does...
The general answer is no they don't. Women aren't introducing so much exogenous test that it shuts down their own natural test production. Actually much to the other end, you can try to shut down your estrogen production for a period of time, but you can't shut it down forever w/o really bad results, and if anythign it seems to be a fight to make it less than the natural level it is - i.e. you can't make estrogen-related fat depositing stop. Only briefly if you are running an ant-e, but then you rebound as soon as you come off. So essentially there is no PCT (Anthony Roberts has some different opinion of this and is an interesting discussion, but generally no PCT is needed) and antii-es are not necessary because the small amount of aromatization that gives men gyno is actually miniscule compared to women's natural estrogen production so its almost irrelevant. Some anti-e's like nolvadex do not actually stop estrogen production but rather fake out part of the process and if it were a great fat-inhibitor, woudln't you expect most post-menopausal breast cancer patients to be nice & lean..?
On serious note, I can’t say what it does to men, but women who compete really lose there sexuality in appearance right prior to contest.
-- Anyone who diets down to 6% bodyfat has the chance of looking cadaverous, regardless of AAS or not. I know plenty of competitors, myself included that I think looke fawkin hawt as shit pre-show, during show and immediatley post-show. So that maybe your observation, but its a very broad generalization that isn't accurate and I would further venture that most competitors go thru that compete and not to see if you find the look that they retain for about 3 days total is sexy enough for you, the casual observer.
This was certainly true for Cory Everson, but she looks fantastic now, same for Rachael McLeish. Both are real babes.
