AAS at a young age (18)

[b_light]

Hey guys, i've been a member for a while but i do pretty much all my posting at muscletalk but since this was an american site and i need some info on AAS i thought it would be more beneficial to post here as the laws are completely different. Now i've been training proper for a while now, diet and whole nine yards. Now i look at some people that are 18 in compititions and they have to be on aas. now from all the research i have done pretty much everyone says wait AT LEAST till 21 if not longer to start aas. how ever, if i want to compete asap im obviously going to have to hop on the AAS train or i will not stand a chance natty against people on aas. I plan to stay natural untill around xmas becuase that would be the best time for me to start a cycle if i decide to. Now basically i just wanted some input from US members on your view on my situation. Also any USA aas info would be helpfull like fakes, etc. thanks, bryan.

I see your point. Its frustrating but I will always say this. Your liver and the frontal lobe of your brain are not fully developed until sometime between the age of 23-25. You need to seriously consider what you are willing to risk! You are young right now and I am afraid at that age I was stubborn too, but, seriously consider the harm you can do. If you insist, do enough research to learn what will have the most and the very least negative affects on your underdeveloped liver first. Be safe and make the fitness community proud by not giving AAS a worse name than it already has!

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.

I would place money that the majority of pros started using AAS at an early age.

I remember m first cycle I was 16. It was an anavar cycle. I was on the swim team and new nothing about steroids. I just thought If I took them I would swim faster and win my meets. After a few weeks I started "Sinking" from the new muscle mass I was gaining. Muscle doesn't float I found out. lol........

Damn pretty young... I must admit the only reason im considering this is becuase id say i actually know alot about steroids compared to your average 18 year old who when they head steroids will automatically start assuming crazy shit. Also the fact that i would have alot of online information at my disposal as well as experianced people. I must say i would be reducing the bad effects majorly seeing as i would be taking all the correct peracautions compared to some kid that picks up a bottle of oxydrol at the store and does no pct and probably drinks heavily while on it. Just looking for as much feedback as i can get really.

The main regret I have is not knowing if I might have ended up messing with my body design at such a young age. I was still growing and developing naturally and I still wonder to this day how much better I would have developed by taking steroids AFTER I had reached my genetic potential NATURALLY.

Pole dancing paid for mine, and your point?

No thuimbs up from me until you're a healthy, successful adult that pays their own bills. Until the sport you juiced for is putting food on the table you haven't proven to me that your decision was the wisest one.

The guys thar use AAS at such a young age are really selling themselves short in the long run. An 18 yr old's test levels are sky high to begin with-they don't need any extra test. The idea behind taking roids is to make the serious athlete beyond plateaus they achieved naturally. You cannot be at a plateau at age 18. Chances are most 18 yr olds lack the knowledge and discipline to truly benefit from AAS. I'm sure their are exceptions-like Lee Priest-but that's just one guy out of thousands and thousands of bodybuilders that use AAS. What are the chances of you being the next freak of nature? Close to zip me thinks. Don't let me shatter your dreams though-you could be the next phenomenon of your sport. How do I know that you are not?

a serious question that deserves a serious answer

how tall are you?
last time we had a short mr olyimia was right after arnold
if you havent reached your full height you never will after your first cycle
so short term goals will seem to hurt your long term goals.

how big are you now?
if you dont have good genetics and already pretty big you will never be a pro bodybuider i my opinion. those guys were big without juice i garuntee.

bodybuilding is my life.
at 18 dungeons and dragons was my life
at 20 martial arts was my life
at 23 playing pool for money was my life
at 30 my children were my life
at 42 still the children... hey i think i grew up at 30 guys!!!!!

are you sure that bodybuilding will be your life at 23 or 27??
do you really think that you will be able to compete at a high enough level to make it a career?
99.9 % chance you wont
think about that before you stick that first needle
and kudos to you for the good research youve done on usage but my advice is wait
