SARMs are a great and safe option for females who want to get in on PED usage but are not willing to endure the risks of anabolic steroid use. In this section, I will go over the best options for females, tell you about them, and show you how to dose them
How women’s bodies work
Men and women have different reproductive systems. With men, the nucleus of the hypothalamus is sphere-shaped, but with women, it is shaped elongated. Women produce more estrogen (known as a female hormone), while males make more testosterone (known as a male hormone). Nevertheless, both sexes need some of the other to be healthy. Ask most, and they will tell you that males produce hormones via our Leydig cells (testes) while females produce them via their ovaries. However, this isn’t fully the case. In reality, females produce 25% of testosterone from the ovaries, 25% from the adrenal gland, and 50% via peripheral tissues from precursors coming from the ovaries and adrenal gland, including skin and fat cells. In recent years, more clinics have become willing to prescribe male hormones to females since low testosterone is also becoming a female problem.
Female steroid risks
Before I talk about SARMs, I must be transparent about female steroid use. I have many female friends I have gotten to know over the years who are amazing athletes in the gym who have competed and used anabolic steroids. The problem becomes the virilization risks, which include facial/body hair, breast loss, clitoris enlargement, deepening voice, menstrual dysfunction, acne, and physical changes. Some of these side effects can be permanent.
This is why SARMs are far safer because these side effects are not possible with them, but they are likely with steroids. Another problem is females will involuntarily take mislabeled SARMs, which are something else like prohormones, and end up with these side effects. For these reasons, it is important to use only approved sources for your SARMs.
Best female bulking SARMs
Bulking can be simplified to mean putting on muscle mass and body weight simply. I’ve had girlfriends go with me to the gym and struggle to even lift the bar when they work out, but when I’ve put them on SARMs, they’ve been able to improve their strength and lean body mass within several weeks. When it comes to bulking, there are some really good options with SARMs.
RAD-140 Testolone
RAD came onto the fitness scene about 12 years ago. The objective when it was being developed was to create a SARM that would be similar to a TRT dose of testosterone but without severe suppression or androgenic/estrogenic side effects. The beauty part of this SARM is its ability to bind very well to the androgen receptor, which helps muscle mass improve while also being very selective at the same time. Overall, a female can get all the benefits of a very strong SARM but avoid the masculinizing side effects I mentioned earlier in the section. An excellent dosage of RAD-140 will be 2.5mgs-10mgs per day for 8-12 weeks.
LGD-4033 Ligandrol
LGD is one of my favorites for females. I once dated a very petite woman who weighed no more than 105 pounds and struggled to even lift the bar at the gym. After I put her on LGD for eight weeks and took her with me to the gym, she became stronger and added lean muscle mass. Females should try 2-5mgs per day for eight weeks.
