how young

[nybobcats7]

whats the youngest a guy that works out alot could take aas and what should a first cycle be

[hitmansb]

I started training hard at 16, and didn't to my first cycle til' I was 20. I'm thinking 19 is the ABSOLUTE youngest anyone should consider a cycle, and that's only if they've got at least 3 years of intense training and proper diet under their belt (which is a very tiny fraction of trainers that young).

i'd say not until the word "teen" isn't a part of your age. i'll be 24 in a few months and have just now started using.

28 on my first run, probably do my second after I turn 29 this year.. I wouldn't advise it to anyone under 20, IMO..

i started working out when i was 12-13. I was very thin back then. I finally hit 160 and stayed there for a while. I took roids when i was 17 but 2 weeks only, enough to gain water and thought that was it. I did my first real cycle when I was 18 which was SOSTENON AND STENOX. Went from 165 to 195, then lost 5 pounds.

i started with weights at 14 and AS at 19...

I started using AAS at 13....I'm 5'2 and weigh 230...and I got a nice set of d-cups to do with whatever I wish.

[BiggerStronger]

BTW I never touched a weight before using AAS....

These posts are sarcasm BTW.

I started using AAS about 20....had been working out since I was 14.....very serious for at least 1 1/2 to 2 years before starting AAS. (By very serious I mean - I had a strict diet plan, my training was on a strict schedule...working out was my fun, a huge part of my life - If you don't consider working out a huge part of your life...almost defining you, then you shouldn't be taking steroids)

[BiggerStronger]

Also you should only use AAS if you must to get past a certain weight or size. You should try to reach your peak potential naturally before ever picking up a syringe or popping some pills.

Too many guys go straight for the easy solution which in the end can cause more problems then trying to do it right.

IMO - 24 years of age with a strong background in nutrition and training under your belt. i waited til i was 26/27.

Unless you are getting your ass kicked each day then I say 25. Even hard gainers start to gain mass when they hit their mid twenties. Why take gear when your gonna loose it when you come off because your body isn't good at doing it on your own. If you are getting your ass kicked each day then 21, or get some new tats and shave your head that might scare em off!

look no bullshit, the main issue is epiphyseal plate closure. its true that being younger makes your hpta a little more sensitive, sure, but that is nowhere near as deleterious as using aas, precipitating epiphyseal plate closure, and remaining a shorty for the rest of your life

personally i would submit to a fucked up hpta and lifelong hrt if it meant i could be 3 inches taller. no worries. its a pain in the arse to be sure, but manageable.

for most people, 20 is the line, really, although it is also my opinion that very few trainers out there are sufficiently mature, and dedicated enough in training/dieting to be able to do it correctly before the age of 20.

i have no problem with people doing aas but i dont like the idea of a teen doing it to pull chicks, and using/experimenting with a shitload of rec drugs etc and all the rest of it while using aas. just pushes it over the line imo

cheers

im not Condoning using AAS at a younger age (17 is off limits) but by the time im 26 im gonna be a house. It seems easier to recover right now... im on my post cycle from an INTENSE 16 week cycle and i still have a sex drive... amazing. IT never went away. But i think as long as your doing things right... and you dont BLow a vessel in your heart then whats the difference starting young?

Rec drugs and AAS do not mix... Weed is alrite.. i heard it lowers Test levels in men.. but christ.. a male produces 3.5mgs-10mg's of test a day... so weed might drop that down my 2mg's... but that aint shit when your pumping your self with 1g+ of test a week.

a buddy of mine is using COKE on a daily basis while on a gram of test a week.... you should see this guy fellas... His acne is so bad its all up and down his arms... he's pale... he aint making ANY gains... and he probably want run a correct PCT. I just look at these guys a laugh.. because i am SOOOO dedicated to lifting.. im mainly a strength trainer but i defintly dont do it for chicks... i have a fiance so im straight with that. I guess you could call me a recreational Body builder.

The guys i HATE to use roids are the people that dont know shit about it.... they have no idea what they are giving there selves... its absolutely STUPID. But hey if they want to screw themselves up then so be it... can i get a amen?

[dbol]

weed is definitely NOT alright!
It kills your motivation and dumps a whole shit load of water in the interstitial spaces of the body making you a bloated pig! You basically take a vacation from progress the entire time you are smoking week.

peace.
