When the time comes, you can probably make good progress with only diet and cardio but there are also options like clen, that will help take you further. If you want to use gear, it can be used. I would just keep the doses small. 5mg var at most to start. For Bikini, you never need to take steroids to reach your goals. Some girls may, but there is no need. First thing I would do is check out an NPC show in your area to see what the girls look like in your area. Next, I would get on a consistent diet. IIFYM is ok for people that aren't that serious but if you want to get the most out of your time in fitness, you'll want to give it 100%. If you are interested in working with a coach, contact me through the Next Level Nutrition page, here at Naps. I have a partner that is gifted at dialing girls in for bikini and figure. There is no real need to "bulk" for a bikini girl. You can grow while eating a clean diet
