Thanks Bro's

Thanks everyone for all your input. To answer ambulancechaser's Q's I have been lifting consistantly for almsot 3 years now, ever since freshman year in H.S. for football. I super set my squats and my ded's i also super set them with some front squats. I am 6' 1" tall currently weighing 195lbs. good BF, I think i'm down to almost 8%, very muscular looking, looking to compete soon even, great genetics. As for the diet I follow, I have been using the Level 3 Arnold Encyclo. Diet with a Size Up1000 thrown in before bed.

BREAKFAST
4 Eggs
8 ounces Whole Milk
2 Slices Whole-Grain Bread, Buttered
1 Pc. Fresh Fruit

LUNCH
1/2lb. Meat or Fish
2 Slices Whole Grain Bread, Buttered
16 ounces Whole Milk
1 Pc. Fresh Fruit with some Cottage Cheese

Dinner
1lb. Meat or Fish
Baked Potato
Steamed Vegetables
Large Salad
1 Pc. Fresh Fruit
16 ounces Whole Milk

BEFORE BED
Size Up1000

I want to get bigger to be able to play SS and maybe get a scholarship, nothing scarier than a 210lb. over 6' ripped SS. So sports for the moment, but I am going to go into competition soon, very soon within a year would be nice. Obviously the chicks will fall into place also, so that's why bro. Anymore help you or anyone else can give me will be much appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Your diet, although it could use some work, is much better than most 17 year olds who try to bulk up with gear and chicken McNuggets 2x per day.

Keep in mind that you are not done growing and using gear could adversely affect that. The following is taken from anabolicreview.com (by the way, go read their steroid profiles):

The use of anabolic/androgenic steroids can stunt the growth potential of children and adolescents. It is interesting to note that often there is a short-term accelerated growth of the bones. With continued ingestion one must count on a premature closure of the epiphysial cartilage which leads to a growth stunt and ultimately results in a decrease in the normal predicted height. Further growth is impossible making this an irreversible side effect. Young athletes who, because of their extreme ambition have decided to take steroids should, for this reason, reconsider. The only steroid that does not cause this serious problem is Oxandrolone (see also Oxandrolone), so one hopes that its producer does not remove it from the market.

The fact that you are here is a good sign: You are trying to read and learn before doing it. Too many teens just take what their "friend" said will make them big and strong and then crash because they have no post-cycle plan for recovery; they lose almost everything. The yo-yo up and down.

If you are hoping for a scholy you are in a tough place, especially if others, particularly those you compete against, are on.

You are the only one who knows whether you are truly ready. My advice would be: READ, LEARN, DECIDE, in that order.

In terms of competing, I can't tell you, for I have never had a desire to do so. Other guys on here can help you with that.

I can't definitively say that you should; I'm 10 years older than you and trying to learn so I can plan my first cycle.

I hope this helps and I hope this doesn't sound "preachy."

I did my first cycle at 17. There still is no legitimate answer as to whether AS causes let's say, mental irregularities. I'm now 30 and handle fairly heavy cycles with no problem...I feel I'm more in control while on. When I was a teenager however, I was not mature enough to be doing gear. All the tough guy problems, however everyone is different. As for stunting height, no problems.... before I did my second cycle at 20 I had grown 2 inches and another after that cycle. Take all things into consideration, research, and use your best judgement.
