My girlfriend has reached the point where the muscle gains in her back and chest has made her current bras extremely uncomfortable. The solution in the past has always been just buying bigger sized bras. 5 years ago before she started bodybuilding she wore a 34B....progressed to 36B or A ....then to 38A which she's been at for 2 years..just finished a 6 week cycle of anavar then took a shot of sust last week...so far gains at 9 solid lbs and still growing at the rate she did in her first year of training. We searched all around town and found just one 40A-so we had to go to those bra strap Has anyone else had this problem? IP: Logged |

Humm.... Well.... NO, I don't have any advice on this other than get them custom made. BUT My real question is on the sust.... Give up some details on dose, stack (if any) and any sides (again if any)!!!! Late Lobo IP: Logged |

Hey there Mo, I too have that issue. As a matter of fact I am the regional President and CEO of the IBTC (itty bitty titty commity) LOL!! Any way, There is a company called Title 9 sports that distributes sportswear for female athletes. I think they have a website. Anyway as you said they dont offer much for big girls with IBTs. What I do is go with the Wallmart or Target large sports bras. Usually Hanes her way, or Champion brands. It's time to buy some more and I'll probably step up to extra large. I haven't measured lately but my jacket size has recently gone up from a 40 to a 42. And I have narrow hips and big quads. Fortunately I don't do alot of high end dining out or anything along those lines so I can usually be dressed casually. The fact of the matter is that you two are going to have to spend some time and money on clothing items for her if she continues to grow. Not impossible, but also not cheap. The key is to go for classically tailored items that can mix and match well, and are timeless in their styling. Sorry, no fads or in today out tomorrow fashions. If you can afford custom, go for it. It will be well worth the investment. Hope this has been helpful. Good luck, WW IP: Logged |

In your shoes, ( or cup for that matter ) I think that I would simply modify that 40A,...but then, I know how to sew. It would be cheap just using the hardware that came with the bra and extending with elastic that you can purchase from any material store. She could easily reposition the shoulder straps as well. That way, instead of buying a new collection of bras every time she puts on an inch, she just sews in a longer piece of elastic. I'd be happy to help if your geographically close. Damn tho. Her rib cage is nearly the width of my shoulder span....but I at least have a c-cup :p ------------------ IP: Logged |

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.. Lobo as far as your question dosage was 1 full cc of sust 250 (portuguese) had to open 2 amps to get 1 full cc-also still on the anavar at 5mg per day. Was on anavar 7.5 mg per day sides-no hairloss, no voice changes, no clit enlargement, had her period at regular time. Just slightly more sex drive, and a lot of strength and muscle growth. She has no aspirations of competition she just likes the look of female bodybuilders and enjoys being strong. As for the sust she just realized that for the first time her muscles are getting some serious size and wanted to "kick it up a notch" We added the sust and cut down the anavar...sides since the shot-(her voice got scratchy hoarse the next day and the pain in the butt (sustanon shuffle) was so unbearable for her she's vowed to never ever take another shot. After 8 days the scratchiness went away but she's been prone to lose her temper more than usual and has turned into an animal in the gym-(usually conservative in her weights (always careful not to injure herself) she's been pushing herself harder than usual adding weight to every exercise every week. Other side's include a strange desire to sleep more than usual and some stretch marks just under her armpits at the delt pec tie in and on the top of her calves-her front delts and pecs just blew up so fast. Seems to have lost the extra sex drive , lost a bunch of fat off her arms and hips-(getting some nice definition-thigh rods!) and generally been eating like a pig... Monitoring very closely for any sides. Just the one shot of sust was planned but who knows she's so addicted to the gains that she's called in sick to work 3 days this week just to work out a second time.. I'm worried about psychological addiction to the AS and also maybe depression when the gains start to slow... One thing for sure-the sust sure works well. IP: Logged |

That is right in line with every other lady I've talked with when using sust. She did come out on the limp side a bit longer than most. But that may decrease next dose. Every single time, each experienced strength and power as well as increased muscle density and loss of body fats. We have even coined a phrase for it - "The Panther Effect" Sex drive does increase (woooo hoooo) and some do tend to have a bit more aggressiveness. But I think this is generally due to the "super women" feeling they get when heavier exercises start to become like cheese cake. Week to week progress is VERY addicting. Make no mistake about this. I have not one lady who didn't relish the next cycle. BTW, only do one CC per four weeks. This is critical as any more may put to much test in their system. You can then decide to go for eight or twelve weeks. The anavar / sust stack is quickly becoming a powerful advantage for the novice woman BBer - and even more so for fitness. Deca just is to damn easy to test for. Besides, who really wants to do a fricking hour of cardio every damn day just to get "in the ball park" Next we are going to see more and more ladies using an anavar/sust/T3 stack - and so it goes�.More muscle, less sides. More time to weight train, less time doing cardio. Keep us posted on how it all goes! Late Lobo IP: Logged |

Wonderwoman is getting very excited boys!!! Anxious to hear what the end results are. Tell us, where did these ladies start. Specifically height, weight, bf, best lifts etc. Had they done AS before? which ones, how much, how long. And how long did they wait between cycles? WW IP: Logged |
