Genetic Limits - waiting before starting steroids?

[WilliamBailey]

I've read some that you should wait until you hit your genetic limit before you start with gear.

What is the logic behind this? Does gear mess up your natural testosterone causing you not to be able to gain without it or something?

I've been lifting for 6 years, and just in the past 2-3 have I started making gains(~1lb per month). But now that I'm making gains, I feel like I'm getting old. By the time I look the way I want I'll be OLD.
I'm 6'1'' 180lbs ~9% bf

This doesn't answer your question but I waited until I was in my 30's before I used AAS. I am a very patient person though.

Great post man, thanks.
Looks like there are lots of reasons for people saying to wait for your genetic limit, none of which though are biological.

Seems like the main point is it's dumb for someone new to lifting to take gear with a crap diet and get the same gains they could have gotten just by eating correctly alone.
