I am going to provide a recommendation which is uncoventional, but which is a great choice for a 1st time female user...as well as advanced users. Most guys here know I wouldn't spit out a recommendation without giving it some serous thought, and so it is with the following recommendation. The VERY BEST steroid I have EVER found for women who want to add muscle & strength while minimizing androgenic side effects is SD. Yes...Superdrol. Why? Many reasons.
First of all, aside from adding muscle & strength, what is usually the main priority of women who first begin using AAS? They want to avoid masculinization. If that is the case, you won't find a better steroid for this purpose than SD. Not only is SD's androgenic rating as low as Anavar itself, but real-world experience has shown this steroid to be one of the most mild in terms of androgenic side effects, per mg. This alone makes it a great choice, but is it better than Anavar? Hell yes it is. Why? At first glance it would appear that Anavar and SD are equal in terms of androgenic potency...and this would be true. However, SD is much, MUCH, more potent than Anavar as a muscle builder, being several times stronger for growth, per mg. In the case of SD, this means you can take LESS total mg while also gaining MORE muscle. That is a win-win situation.
Just 5 mg of SD will provide considerably more growth than 10 mg of Var, while supplying a reduced androgenic punch. In fact, just 2.5 mg of SD will provide more growth than 10 mg of var...easily. Just 5 mg of SD per day is enough to make ANY beginning female blow the fuck up...and I will tell you this, not only will it provide less androgenic sides than 10 mg of Var, but it will work 5X better! Only the most advanced women will need more than 10 mg per day to grow! The bottom line is this. If a women really wants to grow, while continuing to maintain her full femininity, then she does not have to look any further than SD. It is better than Var all the way around when the goal is to add mass & strength while minimizing androgenic side effects...and that is a FACT! Even the most sensitize women could run 5 mg per day of SD and retain their full beauty....and the large majority of women would never have any significant problems with 10 mg per day, just like most women do fine with 10 mg of Var.
Now, it is inevitable that someone will say...SD is too harsh! Too harsh in what way? Liver toxicity? Bullshit! 5 mg daily is a breeze for anyone's liver...and even 10 mg is pretty easy to cope with. The only side effect which might be off-putting to some is its ability to cause lethargy and appetite suppression in some cases, but the chances of this occuring are GREATLY redced when using only 5-10 mg per day. Even at 30 mg daily many guys feel completely fine, so the overwhelmingly large majority of women would do just fine on 5-10 mg per day from a feel-good standpoint. Aside from these things, what other objections are there? It adds a ton of muscle & strength with minimal androgenic side effects...the liver can easily handle that dose...and most women will feel complerely fine, so why not SD? What other objections are there for women with this criteria? From where I am sitting...the answer is none.
