How to get big muscles?

I want to get jacked, bulky big muscles. Problem is I'm biologically female. I know itll be harder to build up without testosterone but is it still possible to get bulked up? Can I still build large muscles without taking testosterone? If that is possible, what exercises/equipment will I need? Don't tell me something like "oh but jacked girls r ugly" or "be happy as u are" because i don't want to be a girl and are not going to be happy with myself until i get stronger.

    - Eat healthy balanced diet.

    - But also lots of protein which helps develop muscles. The rule of thumb is 1 gram of protein for every lb you are. So if you were 140lbs than 140 grams of protein.

    - 5-7 days a week of high intensity muscle training workouts like sit ups, push ups, pull ups, barbell weight lifting, dumbbell weight lifting, squats, crunches, etc. along with a little bit of cardio like running, dance/sports, etc.

    - Start slow and slowly work into a workout routine. Never go past your limit but also make sure that you actually reach your limit.

    It is dangerous and will only cause injuries if you start big too early.

    Only do as much as you can to begin with than slowly do more, and more, and more over the weeks/months. You will see improvement eventually...
