AAS at a young age (18)

[GeneticMutation]

^What BigC said.

ilovetolift, don't take newbie gains and a 13-month bulker giving you 30lbs is amazing.
Hell, when I started to lift i was 160lb, 18 years old. After over a year of bulking and working out with a good program, I shot up to 245. Needless to say, I started to grow some sexy stretchmarks. Of course I wasn't cut at 245. I was 6"0 245 with a 40" waist. After cutting down to 195 and 32" waist, I saw just how much of that was muscle, maybe 35lbs.

Not flaming you either, again, just be real. I didn't look like haney at 245 and neither will you.

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.

dude being 185 now and getting to 200lbs by this summer then doing one cycle to get to 260 and lean out to 240lbs at 4-6% bf at 5'8 is just a dream your talking about weighing more or about the same as flex wheeler or even kevin leverone did when they were competing for the my olyimpia and it took them years to get to their size in the early 90's then another 5 years to peak with seperation and definition to take second place.

and no the gains you are making are gonna stop and you will peak so dont think becuase your gaining 5lbs a month today its gonna keep happing untill your 260lb at 5'8 . sorry to crush your dreams . You cant say you might be the next dexture jackson becuase even dexture was 185 in 1995 when he won the southern states npc and its taken him almost 10 years to build up to 227 ripped

good luck keep us updated and post pics of you next year at 240 ripped and prove to us you can pack on 60lbs of competetion quality muscle in a year

Wow your giving me advice when you say you went from 160-245 in one year? so u gained 55lbs of fat and 30 of muscle in a year? I dont think thats possible.

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

hummm above you said you wanted to be at 240 for your first show at age 20.
not 21.
I still dont think at age 21 and 5'8 you will be onstage ripped at 240lbs some of the guys age 24-28 that you will be onstage will be that big but noone i have ever seen at 5'8 and 21. well wait a few years ago at a novice show a guys showed up with bitch tits and a fat smooth belly at around 240 and 5'8 at age 21 he was looked at more of like comic relief

hurry, hurry, hurry.
everyone is in such a hurry.
ive been puttin off my next cycle for 6 years.

 

[b_light]

I don't even think anyone has really mentioned that b light needs to eat more! If that avatar pic is current, bro, add some steak to your diet. You need to add some calories to gain some weight. You have a good frame for building onto, but you have not even come close to your natural potential. You should really train clean for the next couple of years before you consider using juice. I know it is tough, because juice really does work, but think about your long term goals and your commitment. If you train hard and diet good for 2 years, then maybe you will be ready.
