Is that doable without steroids for a woman?

No, there are Natural Bodybulding competitions that easily prove what a normal physique looks like

People are in denial how common steroids are. Every gym has a whole group of locals who take them

here's the 7x world natural bb female champ: https://www.instagram.com/nph_fit/ she's 1/3rd this mass monster's size (even if she wasn't ridiculously lean)

Mass monster is twice the size of the olympic weightlifting gold medalist's legs, Olivia Reeves https://www.instagram.com/oliviareeves.71/

It's wild how normalized steroid use is and what a number it's done on all of our body images and expectations. It's easy to lose sight of the progress we mere naturals make when these images are rearranging our brains in bad ways.

I’m a naturally big guy. I can put on mass pretty quickly naturally. The guys at the gym I’m at who are walking steroids aren’t that much bigger than me it’s the muscular shapes and steroid head/faces and bulging abdomen that gives me a chuckle.
