AAS at a young age (18)

[b_light]

this thread is really starting to bomb out of control. I know there is no way that im gonna get to 260lbs in a year, that is a ridiclous amount of weight and noone can gain that in even close to a year. as well as all the other shit that i dont know how you conceived from my post. what it comes down to is i think i was trying to justify aas use just becuase i knew more about it then some clown that sees a big just and goes oh he must be on roids. I know how important diet it, etc.

I am surprised by some of the shit they do to get money like sexual favors, that is fucked up. I dont want this thread to get more out of control. Bottom line is im gonna wait till the future untill i decide to bring up the topic again. thanks for all the info though, i learned alot of new stuff.

i just started to read some of the other comments in the thread as well. I never intended to say that i wanted to make a living off BBing. i was under the impression that every show no matter what level its at (not including natural) you will need AAS as well as all the other essential blocks which i assumed are already in place or else you wouldent be asking to use aas in the first place. i know im not gonna get 100 pounds over night, dont know where that came from either. I think alot of people are assuming that i just started lifting the other day and am looking for a magic fix. i spend most of my time on muscletalk.co.uk as that was the first BBing site i found and they have a nice community and helped me along my way.

Well if BB isn't paying your bills I sure hope you make enough $$$ to support the lifestyle. Coworkers are the biggest assholes a BB will encounter. BB's make normal fat asses feel like shit about themselves and everytime they see you(smell you) eating tuna you're rubbing it in their face that you're disciplined and they are not. Guess what happens when your boss is one of these jealous fat asses? They fuck with you. What boss wouldn't want to fire a guy that perpetually makes them feel like a turd? The people you surround yourself will greatly affect your BB success. I can't stress this enough.

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.

Your body slows down from its initial gains you may have gained 30 pounds in 13 months naturally but the heavier you get the harder and slower it gets to put the pounds on. Going from 150 to 200 is alot easier than going from 200 to 250. Going from 200 to 250 or 260 after your first cycle without water retention or gaining a very large amount of fat isnt going to happen

I was under the impression that the only AAS that fuck up your liver are the orals which is one main reason i would want to go with injectables that have a low androgenic property(i believe) becuase im prone to acne. Already taking care of it with roaccutane just gonna take a little bit longer and it will be good to have it on hand incase i start to break out if i go on cycle. Right now i have a rough idea of what a i want to do and if i do want to go thru with it more im gonna do alot more research and find out exactly what i would run and for how long. already know about PCT and what kind of stuff i should be taking on cycle to combat the high blood pressure, and other shit that gets thrown out of wack. BBing is pretty much my life now, i live to lift day in and day out. I dont want to be a jackass like half the people you see in the gym are but at the same time im gonna have to jump on if i want to be competative.

IF thats you in your avatar you have a build that can grow a lot naturally. You really have to get your diet in check and you should be fine for a while.

Good luck

i honestly don't know what you guys are saying about how difficult it is to grow. i restarted training exactly one yr and almost a month ago at a fat 190 at 20%. today i stand at 230-232 at 14%. my diet hasn't always been great through this period, sometimes i miss the gym too - i've been in a bit of a hole financially. i've also lost weight in between because of a severe asthma attack - my nails were blue and bp was 190/120 or something that ridiculous... i had to lost at least 10lbs during those weeks. i've also gone through periods of cutting and periods (like now) where i've kept my weight constant... my girlfriend prefers if i wouldn't go for an all out bulk, else, i know i would be pushing 250 today... sure alot of it's fat as you may point out, but i've actually dropped my bf% since last year. BTW all this is natural. how is it possible? a gallon of milk, min 1lb of red meat, 12 whole eggs, rice/pasta, veggies, fruits, oats, cornflakes, no protein powder no juice whatsoever. that is what it takes to put on a huge amount of weight real quick and natty too. forgot to mention, i'm 26 and ht is 5'10". b light, by eating BIG and training big compound lifts min 2x per week, you could put on some serious mass real quick. then you can slowly shed away those excess fat pounds so that you're in good contest shape... as some of the guys pointed out, most guys will start to peak after 24 so you have lots of time to get there. at that point you could consider your first cycle. 2 more things i'd recommend:
1) check out the training board
2) check out tom venuto's "burn the fat, feed the muscle" ebook.

oh and just to clarify: before someone jumps down my throat saying each person is different so i'm lucky that i can gain weight so quickly... yes i know all about how each person is different. however, many people usually aren't eating enough for fear of putting on a bit of fat... many could gain muscle alot quicker if only they accepted that fat will come and that they can get rid of it later. or in some cases people just IMAGINE they are eating alot when it may not be that way... it's simple physics, unless someone has a serious disease, hyperthyroidism or something which isn't exactly common, they will gain faster than most of them imagine. yes, some do actually have low natty test levels too so thats another factor.
