Easier to gain body fat = leaving offseason harder to diet from.
Slower to gain muscle = unproductive off-seasons.
Hormone dysfunction is common = problematic for physique goals.
Limited and incorrect information for females on Supplement and PEDS = High risk of side effects.
Virilisation is the most significant risk for female PED users we need a harm reduction strategy in place for our competitors.
Excessive dieting leaves the female physique in physical and mental disarray.
