Female bodybuilding (how do they do it)

[thatwaslight]

Sooooooooo anyway, anyone with any scientific explanations to the main differences in muscle building properties between the sexes? as far as i'm aware its the lack of testosterone that is the main reason women find it harder to build muscle? what about other hormones like gh ect?

the main difference I see is that Y chromosome we've got there mate, that thing must influence it to some degree

I think the extreme muscle size or appearance of that is because basically they are hanging loads of muscle off tiny frames. Think how big a naturally small framed guy looks when they muscle up even as little as 10 or 15 kilos. Then take a 45k woman and put 10 kilos of muscle on her, she'll only be 55 but she'll look 70k cos her frame is tiny.

yeah i guess your right its pretty rare to see a woman with naturally broad shoulders ect, but as stated i have seen women with legs that make dudes look pathetic even without training and my partner has 15 inch calves lol

Does she wear high heels a lot, seems to be a lot of ladies that do get large calves after sometime.

No GDF-8 gene maybe in this case. Look up Belgium Blue cows and you will get the idea.... Or very very low myostatin levels.
