AAS at a young age (18)

[CO B-man]

I have to disagree with some people. I'm 19, 185 natural, have been bulking for 13 months now. I KNOW how to gain weight. Maybe good genetics? I was 156 lbs 4 months ago due to surgery, i couldnt eat for a few weeks.... Im almost 30 pounds heavier now. At the rate I'm going, i'll be 200 with low bodyfat by summer. After my first cycle, I'll hopefully be 250-260, and cut down to 240 for my first show when I'm 20... Are you guys telling me at 5'8'' 240 Comp weight, I have no chance? I know bodybuilding is a very hard sport, it's oncall 24/7. But I also believe that some people make it, and I know I can. For heck sakes these stretch marks are looking different every day- It's amazing.

To the guy who wants to take AAS young....DON"T especially at your weight. Get to at least 210 natty with low b/f to start thinking about cycles. Thanks.

Good luck with that! Make sure you post pics when you gain nearly 100 lbs in a year.

well generally you are not only right but very right
but.....
at 18 and with an untrained body
you have the factors of hormonal rollercoaster of puberty
and the good reaction to weights because youve never trained before
and possibly good genetics(well lets say probably)
mabey 1% population has the potential to make that kind of gain

yes it can happen with no juice
at 27 putting on 30 pounds of muscle no matter how much fat you gain is gonna be practically impossible in one year natural

Keep in mind that no matter who you are for every 3 lbs of fat you gain, your body will need an extra lb of muscle just to carry around that extra weight. Of course when you lose that extra weight, it's highly likely you'll lose the muscle you gained along with it. If you could keep it through dieting and training you could blow up to 600 lbs, diet, and be a ripped 300 #'s in no time. Don't be discouraged-your goals are just too unrealistic at this point. You'd get more respect by acknowledging that you are a young novice and shooting for a realistic goal-like competing in the light heavies in a men's in an open/novice show.

Talking about becoming pro or making a living off of BB at this point is a pretty bold statement. It's kinda like me working as a cashier at a gas station and telling people that I'm gonna be president of Texaco Oil someday. How likely is that to happen? Not very. Could it happen? Sure. But don't expect people to take you too seriously this early in the game cuz you've got a long, winding, uphill road ahead of you.

I remember when I was around 21 and I mentioned to someone that I wanted to compete in BB someday-and he laughed right in my face-and I was under 10% bf and 215 lbs. Of course this angered me and I punched him in the nose-but I never forgot that fucker for not taking me seriously. I doubt he forgot me either. lol A yr later I did my 1st novice show and placed 2nd to a guy 9 yrs older than me. It went to my head. I thought I was ready stomp my way through the ranks to winning nationals so I tried a national qualifier-and placed 5th out of 8 guys. This is when reality set in of just how hard BB was and how good I wasn't.

I give this kid credit, he has a good attitude and is not coming back with cockiness. There is hope for him. I still say its easier to go to college get a great degree that pays well lift weghts for fun/Hobby etc. And get more girls than the rest of your buddies because of it!

It was all theoretic not actual technicality! Just seems a conglomeration of drunk and horny girls can be found on campuses all day long!

Actually I've got to admit something but I don't want to get this kid's hopes up. BB has been paying my bills one way or another since I was 19-whether it was from being a bouncer, security guard, body guard, personal trainer, gym employee, etc. I was just fortunate enough to find ways to make money off of my lifestyle choices. However, since these things rely largely on my health and stature I'm very lucky I was never injured or sick to the point where I wasn't capable of being physically active. I always chose jobs that would compliment my BB lifestyle-for instance-working a desk job at a gym sucked-but because it allowed me to eat every 2-3 hrs it served a dual purpose. Yeah, it was boring and a dead end career, but it beat bustin my ass doing hard labor with BB my primary focus in life. In fact, I'd even say that as a top amateur I made more $$$ than a lot of pros-but that's because I actually chose to work by promoting myself, training people, and doing BB seminars at the gym. A lot of pros have the personality of a rock and/or are just too selfish to spend time helping others-even for $. I guess it's easier for them to close their eyes and pretend the fag that's paying them to suck their cock is a hot chick???

Anyway, my point is-where there's a will there's a way-just take things one step at a time . In addition, if becoming an awesome BB isn't your 1st thought when you roll out of bed in the morning and your last thought before bed at night, you're probably not going to succeeed. BB is an all consuming lifestyle that doesn't allow much time for friends, family, and other interests. These are all sacrifices you need to chose to make on your own and don't expect your family/friends to understand when you choose salad and broiled chicken over pizza and beer.
