I was dating a girl for a little bit that had real definition and muscles. She got "roid" comments all the time.
Sure, the Mr. & Mrs. Olympia level people are most likely using them as well as having superb genetics for building such muscle mass, but not every relatively big and somewhat ripped person is juicing.

I mentioned steroids for women because testosterone builds muscles. Some girls have more than others, and will build bigger muscles. Welcome to genetics.
But by and large, the vast majority of women simply cannot build muscles like you see on a man without medicinal help. That's just how it works.
Yes, women can "bulk" like men, by eating lots of protein and lots of calories, but it's still physiologically different. Too many women are afraid that lifting heavy will make them look like She-Hulk, when the opposite is true. Higher weight with less reps will give them the desired outcome. Just because they lift like a man won't make them look like a man.
