Success does "favor" the bold, true. But in the case of the enhanced athletic female, it doesn't necessarily have to be a longer, harder, stronger cycle. Bold can be just prudent, but practical.

We don't need to compete with the boys, in terms of strength, drug coupling, pyramid stacks, front loads , shotgunning or anything else. Women can still arrive at their "destination" whether it's competitive or otherwise, in one piece, still looking like women, and with appreciable muscle mass. The "extreme" look has it's place and drugs are a HUGE part of that equation- but that is not the goal of "this"' discussion.

We'll look at good guidelines for "bold" but sound cycles.


1-Avoid "short" cycles- All bodies strive for homeostasis, but women like steady hormones; whether they favor the anabolic kind or just plain estrogen. Spikes wreck havoc on women, plain and simple. Remember ladies, the PMS you got as a teenager.......? Magnify that times ten, add strength to it, and you'll have a bad example of someone who just plain copied the men's stacks and ended up, well...... not where they wanted to go. Short is qualified as "6-8" for those who are not sure. More moderate, longer cycles will keep you steady and not a train wreck.

2- Pair your drugs- Unless you are a true gear "virgin" having NEVER done an anabolic in your life, don't do just one compound. Novices need to know exactly what is doing what, so for them, ONLY do one drug, gauge it's effectiveness, see how you handle it, and then record that information. For those of us who've been around the drug "block," we need to pair our compounds. FBB know that I typically like one anabolic/one androgen paired together for the national women. This is simply becuase most anabolics are on the weak side by themselves. You "can" pair two anabolics together, but if two weak drugs are "married" in your stack, you've wasted your time and your money.

3- Don't run anitestrogens all the way through- I know the FBB and top figure girls HATE estrogen, as it wrecks havoc on hardness and musclarity, but we need it. Control estrogen midway through, or closer to the end. No need to KILL IT ALL at the beginning. You like your hair , don't you? Save your nolvadex/arimidex for when you need it, not just because you want to see yourself tighter right now- good things in time, girls.

4- Longer cycles allow you to "cycle" your drugs - Longer cycles allow you to "rotate" different drugs in as opposed to running them all at once. This is my biggest pet peeve and the biggest error that I correct in most womne's drug regimes. Since they don't know what does what and when to use it, they simply throw EVERYTHING n at the same time and carry through with it. There is no method to this madness, I don't care what the women who do this tell you. Know what does what . Timing is crucial.

5- Allow for time off- It's amazing to me that this even needs to be stated, but hey, idiots are among us. You can't be on all the time. The body needs a break. Your mind needs a break. Hell, your wallet needs a break........ Cycle the drugs at the times in the year when you need them, this includes the competitive year. You and your body/partner/job/bank will thank me for this, trust me.

6- Understand that drugs don't build your body, YOU DO- Drugs don't build you, you have to understand that. In their absence, you should still train, eat, be consistent in the gym, remember your vitamins, supplements, everything. Your gym time is merely your vehicle to your destination. HOw and when you arrive there is ENTIRELY up to you; drug enhance or otherwise.

Oh- and don't forget to enjoy the journey........... Onwards and upwards, friends.
