No they didn't; that shirt has a sewn-in bra with padding in it. So, even if I was completely flat-chested, the size should remain the same. It's just the angle that I'm facing that makes me look flatter; I'm facing more forward in the second picture, as opposed to the first one I'm half-sideways.
I was actually very flat-chested to begin with. So I think I'm just one of those women that just doesn't get bigger or smaller boobs from weight gain/weight loss, or from either female or male hormones.
Observe.
This is a before picture, taken right around the time I just started working out:

This is one I took literally 5 minutes ago.

The only thing that's different on my chest is that now, you can see the couple tiny little pimples I've been getting in between my boobs.

So, interestingly enough, I'm texting my trainer right now, and this is what he had to say about whether I'm turning into a man or not.

I have no idea why he thinks I'm more girly than when I first met him though. I really have no clue why on earth he would think this. Maybe because I'm working out more and getting bigger and feeling more confident and secure in myself and who I am, that I don't have that angry, hardass demeanor I always used to have? I remember I used to mad dog the FUCK out of other men all the time, and now I'm pretty friendly and going up to them and making small talk with them and fist-pumping them. That's the only thing I can think of.
Anyway, I just sent him the before/after bicep pic and his only answer was:
"FUCK!!!!!!! THATS TIGHT"

No no, I know what you mean, I have days where I use lighter weights to improve endurance or to warm up before a set or max out at the very end of a set. The key word here, is when you see huge dudes in the gym STRUGGLING to lift light weights. 
Awww thanks, that's sweet of you to compliment me, but I know I'm not that buff. I mean, maybe compared to a skinny woman who never works out I am. But even compared to other athletic women, I'm really not all that buff or strong. At least I don't feel that way. Maybe it's just because I'm comparing myself to professional athletes and other women who have REALLY made it. And I REALLY need to work on my forearms more FML they still look like twigs...
So, interestingly enough, I have noticed that the steroids have improved my overall athletic ability. At the gym there are 3 different heights of pull-up bars, and I could never ever jump up to reach the highest bar, but now I can. Bear in mind I was born with flat feet, so anything involving running or jumping I am genetically disadvantaged at. Even as a kid, I was always the slowest at running and long jump in my grade.
Even my trainer commented about how strong I've gotten lately. He called me today and was really praising me and complimenting me about how far I've progressed. He said that as first, it was really frustrating training me because I haven't worked out in a while and I had no strength and no power. But lately, it has become so fun to watch me in the gym, because I lift weights strong and heavy, just like one of the guys.
I was like "You think 190lbs on my frame would be too much? Cause that's how big I want to get." He was like, "OMG... you know when you find shit like that sexy, shit that most other people would find repulsive, dude you've gone mad. You're a fucking BEAST. I can tell you're going to make it, you are my most dedicated client that I have and you have a really strong work ethic. On a good week, I see you working out 6 times a week 3 times a day. On a bad week, I see you working out 6 times a week once a day. Even on your bad week, you're still working out way more than most other guys on steroids."
Then I sent him the picture of the woman I want him to make me look like and this is what he had to say:

In all honesty though, I doubt I will ever look like that woman. I've actually spoken to her, and she says that she has been stacking 3 different roids all at the same time for a year straight (Decca, Dbol, and Anadrol) to look like that. Me, I don't ever stack and I keep my doses low. So I probably won't ever get that massive.

Wow, this Anadrol has finally kicked in yesterday, and it makes me wayyyy hungrier than I was when I was on the Ultradrol. I guess that's why they call it the best bulking compound? I am literally getting hungry every 2 hours now. I've been eating smaller snack-size meals and consuming a lot of veggies, especially towards nighttime, because I am really worried about developing a huge fat tire down there. Some guys might be okay with the idea of having a huge gut with really buff arms, not me, that is not my idea of sexy lmao.
It makes me wayyyyy thirstier too, which is pretty crazy because I was already drinking a gallon a day before I even started the Anadrol! I've noticed that it makes my urine a lot darker than the Ultradrol too.
Interestingly enough, I had an elbow injury that went away as soon as I started cycling on the Ultradrol. As soon as I got off the Ultradrol, while still waiting for the Anadrol to kick in, the elbow pain came back again.
I have posited two theories for this: 1) Some people speculate that your body recovers practically overnight when you are on steroids. Normally it takes 48-72 hours for your muscles to recover from a workout, but supposedly some people believe that your muscle groups recover in 24 hours while on the juice. 2) My trainer was telling me that you will get joint injuries like the kind I have, when you are overworking your muscles so much to the point that they get so weak, that when you are doing a set, your joints start trying carrying the weight instead of your muscles. And that's when the injury happens. I know that's how it happened, because I was doing a constant pressing motion when I got that elbow injury. It was doing too many sets of bench press and then pushups and then chest press all in a row, when my elbow finally gave out.
So I'm thinking on the steroids, my muscles actually got just strong enough to the point to overpower and take over for my joints.
But damn, if it IS reason number 2, then I am really scared to come off these roids! That could be really bad news, and might actually mean that I might lose my gains relatively quickly... we will just have to see through trial and error I guess. I'm hoping I can keep my gains for at least 2-3 months so I can keep my tolerance low when I'm ready to cycle again.
Will keep you guys updated.

Androgens raise your pain threshold. When you're on cycle you feel less pain in general. It'll mask (not heal) whatever pains you had and also get while you're on. Unless your elbow pain is worse than before cycle, you're not lifting too heavy. If it is worse, then yea, you're lifting too heavy. Go lighter weight, higher rep if that is the case. And your muscles do recover faster on cycle, but your elbow is not a muscle. 
Good stuff, black man.

Haha damn Crystal, don't get too carried away with wanting a 190lb frame! We all want to be the biggest, beastliest, strongest etc, whatever. But let me tell you this. Bodybuilding is about illusion. The appearance to look big. Its all about well developed/crafted muscles with a tapered body to give the impression of being superhuman/cartoony. You don't even need to weigh much to look HUGE. Look at the classic bodybuilder Frank Zane who won the Mr. Olympia barely at 180 pounds.
I'm 6'2" and have NEVER weighed over 190 unless i'm bulking. You have seen the pics of me in different stages, so you know how I look. I can't imagine what a much shorter woman would look like with 190lb on her frame. I guess what i'm trying to say is focus on quality not quantity.
Shit nevermind, since this is your first stretch of bodybuilding go ahead and eat whatever the fuck you want because that's the fastest (imo best) way to gain that immediate size, i'm talking 3 double cheeseburgers and ice cream for lunch alone kind of eating for months to a year (that's how I turned from an anorexic 150lb to my frame now).
It won't be pretty but it will be something, some size and strength. - Then a year or two from now focus on crafting and cutting your physique once to pull out striations, leanness, seperation, vascularity etc, and see what you really built. This gives you an idea of your genetic potential as a bodybuilder. Did you gain 15-20lb of solid muscle and look like a God/Goddess with a taper and classic bodybuilder physique, or do you look like you barely lift? This is going to be dependent on your genetics. (Unless you are pushing them over the limit with steroids). I have never had the need to use them, but have seen others. Not everyone who uses steroids ends up looking good or even big for that matter, some get bloofy and retain 30lb of water weight. This too is also up to your genetics and individual body type / chemistry.
Rinse and repeat yearly with bulking. Take a whole year to bulk after your first real cut to see the most gains. There is no shortcut to this lifestyle, steroids or not.

I honestly have always had anger issues, but I'm also very much a Stoic, so I keep it hidden, and nobody can usually tell even when I'm angry. When I was younger I used to get BAD rages, like seriously bad and violent, so in my early 20's I learned to control it and compose myself real well, even when I get the flashes of anger. I keep everything hidden inside until it slowly festers into a mental illness. 
No, I don't feel any more angry on the roids. Even before the roids, I've always been pretty angry. Especially in large crowds or when meeting new people, that is when I am the most angry and ready to snap. But I always maintain my composure, and nobody even knows I'm mad when we're all out at a club or something, and I secretly want to start decking the sea of people around me. 
I mean, I did technically get "roid rage" once, but I wouldn't really call that real roid rage. I was pretty relatively composed and didn't really lose my shit or do anything crazy like hit anybody. I was really moreso just acting boisterous to show off to the other bodybuilders that were with me at the time. 
We will see over time though, because I have heard from other people that the rage gets worse and worse over time as the testosterone accrues and accumulates in your body.
I will report back if I do anything crazy. But to be honest? After experiencing the rage you get from numerous heroin withdrawals and methadone tapers, I bet you anything roid rage is going to be an easy walk in the park.

You're right; people who are shredded look way bigger than people with more mass who have higher body fat.
Take Pauline Nordin for example; she looks huge, but really she's just super cut. Like 6-8% body fat, if I remember correctly.
When I read her measurements, she has 13 inch biceps and weighs 135lbs at 5'2". I currently have between 12.5-13 inch biceps and weigh 140 at 5'5. But she looks WAY the fuck bigger than me because she is such low body fat:

I actually did do that diet for about 6 weeks, I went on a bulking cycle, and the results were TERRIBLE. I pretty much looked like I never lifted a day in my life, I got a fucking gut, and it took me FOREVER to lose that weight. I ended up having such a hard time eating small portions after that bulking cycle, I ended up slamming coke over the weekend and not eating for 3 days just to shrink my stomach again.
So I said, never again will I do that kind of ridiculous-ass bulking cycle. It's too risky and the results weren't even that great. I would really like to focus on having a recomp/maintenance diet while having "cheat days" once a week or so. And if I'm taking the weekend off, then maybe do a paleo diet when I'm not working out.

Well, everybody gets water weight on steroids. That's the whole purpose of them, isn't it? Is that it pulls water to your muscles and helps your ability to synthesize protein better and everything. It's really only after you finish your cycle that the water and bloating start going away, and you start getting more of a shredded look.

Good stuff, black man.
I honestly have not noticed any difference in my pain threshold.
I forgot though, that steroids actually act as anti-inflammatories. So that would explain why my joint pain suddenly went away when the Ultradrol kicked in.

Speaking of joints, has anybody ever heard about that Russian horse steroid? I forget the name of it, but it's some mysterious steroid from Russia that they give to racehorses... it's supposedly so strong that when lifters take it, they will be lifting weights so massive, their tendons and joints will literally be breaking and ripping apart as they are lifting the weight. HOLY SHIT RIGHT!!!! I heard about that shit, and all I could think was: FUCK. THAT. 
So, there's one more scary side effect to the Anadrol that I would like to report. This stuff makes my blood pressure SKYROCKET. I actually haven't officially taken my blood pressure yet, but I can see my veins popping out, and I feel this pulsating throbbing POUNDING in the temples of my head. Bear in mind my normal BP averages around 90/60, so the only time I've ever see my veins bulge out like that is when I'm on a coke or meth binge. I keep staring at them thinking, "OMG I want to hit that vein right there so bad, it's just begging for my name. OMG I can totally hit that one too! And that one too!" 
It's starting to freak me the fuck out!!!!! High blood pressure, stroke, and cranial hemmorhage runs in my family, but only the males have ever gotten it. So I'm wondering if being on the male hormones suddenly has made me susceptible to developing similar BP diseases. The reason that I say that is because the only woman in my family who has high blood pressure is my mom, and I always suspect she has had super high testosterone levels to begin with. Her body is naturally muscular and she has 6% body fat and is completely shredded, even though she's an alcoholic who never works out WTF... it's totally not fair!!! I hate her!!! She has freak genetics and I always look like a fatass who's never even lifted standing next to her. 
Anyway, I plan on walking into one of the nearby medical clinics and have them check my blood pressure and weight and I will report back to see what they say. If it's really bad, instead of hawthorne berries, I might just invest in a BP medication that doesn't suppress your androgens. Any suggestions from the online community?

Not sure about the horse, but when you're bored google myostatin inhibition or just myostatin(not the current nonsense products selling, but the actual studies). Once the scientists figure it out and some douchebag brings it to the streets its game over.

You do know that each steroids cycle only puts on between 5-10lbs of muscle once you're finished with the cycle and you lose all the water weight, right? For me it'd probably be more like 2-7lbs because I'm on a recomp diet.
Interestingly enough, my body actually looks very very similar to Rhonda Rousey's body right now.
Other reasons steroids have been good for my body:
-Before the steroids, the first place that I gained weight was always in my stomach. Now I'm starting to get a SEXY V taper. I'm gaining weight but my waist is actually not protruding, unless I'm bloated, which is HUGE.
-I've been on female hormones in the past, specifically progesterone creams and birth control, and I could never stay on it, because one nasty side effect I always got from the female hormones was chronic yeast infections and super dry pussy. Drugs that are known to suppress androgens in the body, such as opiates, do this to me too. Interestingly enough, drugs that increase male hormones make my shit super wet and slippery. Drugs that increase my dopamine levels, especially stimulants such as meth and coke, do this to me too. Awww yeah! My pussy is DA BOMB right now!!!

I agree, they are nasty shit. They have a birth control coming out for men that doesn't sound as harmful. Just renders the sperm as duds.

I imagine it is. You are very hot right now
I'm not trying to tell you to not take steroids. I'm just personally hoping you don't get carried away and end up looking like that chick in your gym or that military chick. Just a personal thing tho. Each to their own tho right
