Welcome to the first in a brand new series of articles featuring your favorite female bodybuilders and the amazing ladies of RX Muscle. The aim of this series is to step beyond the usual interview format and probe the minds of these strong women. In some cases questions will be asked that provoke thought and discussion on a whole new level.
My first guest for this new series is none other than Sister Steele from the Rx Muscle Forum. Ever since she first appeared on the message boards she has opened up discussions and added valuable comments on many subjects that women were once too reserved to discuss openly. She has held nothing back when it comes to sharing information....and that is why we love her! With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to you that her chosen subject matter for this interview was the fetish/fantasy connection with female bodybuilders, sexual identity, erotica etc.
At first glance, the title of this article may seem outlandish (even preposterous) however, believe it or not, there are actually more women who would benefit from testosterone replacement therapy than men. Even before menopause occurs many women have significantly lower levels of free testosterone (or any of its precursors such as DHEA). In the years following menopause, the levels fall even further leading to symptoms such as lack of libido, depression, fatigue and difficulty losing weight. When testosterone is administered the results can be quite dramatic with renewed outlook and enthusiasm for life, increased energy levels, reduction in fatigue, restoration of sex drive and greater ability to lose weight when following exercise and diet programs.
It's no secret that many female bodybuilders use testosterone esters in order to enhance muscle growth. In fact, before I left the UK about 12 years ago I knew several top female competitors who were using Sustanon 250 at doses of 250mg/week!
As a follow up to part one of this series, I thought I would address some of the questions I am often asked by women considering the use of anabolic steroids. So here is a selection of the most frequently asked questions posed by those who are new to the world of anabolics.
In the world of physique competitions, eating disorders don't all come in the same packages. In fact, most suffer from a combination of several different kinds of eating issues. Many actually make up their own disordered eating behavior. We've all heard of anorexia and bulimia, but, what about orthorexia, sham eating, and over exercising? The desire to look a certain way or win a contest can lead to a bizarre relationship with food. When we lose sight of what NORMAL eating behavior is we end up with a love-hate relationship with food.
