Help with decision

[Bsdr]

Hello I am new to this forum. I am 18 years old and 6 foot and weigh 133lbs. I was thinking of using steroids to help bulk up a bit but I still do not know if it's worth doing at a young age. The questions I have are:
1. Will steroids work at my age? (I have been 6ft for 1 1/2 years and haven't grown)
2. Will I be better off taking another supplement? (currently taking creatine and only seeing strength gains)
3. Will I lose everything I gain from steroids if I decided to do them?
4. If not steroids, what are some other alternatives supplements I could use?

I appreciate all feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Is there any alternative supplements that I can take? For the past few months I can't get past 135. I tend to stay between 130-135. I am also 6% BF

Eat more. I guarantee your diet is not anywhere near what it should be.
Please post up your daily diet and be specific as far as grams protein, fat, carb and total Calories.
If you arent taking in at least 3000 calories and 250 grams protein you arent getting it done
Alternative supplements for you would be creatine.

lift hard and heavy. stop all the damn cardio you are doing.. and learn to eat like a man.

you are just a kid still.. we all were skinny at your age. stay away from roids until you mature.

read my bulker in my signature, that will give you a blueprint of how/what you should eat.

stuff your face every 2 hours with real food.. not hot dogs, mcdonalds, and protein shakes and that other stuff that young guys eat.

chicken, beef, pork, turkey, eggs, pancakes, waffles, green veggies, pasta's, ezekial bread. bulking foods.

Yes my average protein intake is around 175-185 a day. And not too sure about calories. Possibly around 2500-2750.

post up exactly what you eat, its easy to just guess based on what you think you should be doing

I am doing no cardio. I take nitric booster pre-workout and 2 scoops of mono hydrate creatine after workout along with 3 scoops whey protein through the day. Eating 6 meals a day. Working out everyday. Abs everyday' tri and chest Monday, bicep and back Tuesday, shoulder and forearm Wednesday' legs Thursday then I restart on Friday and so forth.

 

[stevesmi]

^^^ how long have you been working out like that? and what 6 meals are you eating everyday? be honest.

it can take years to build muscle, you are still young. if you are really doing what you say you are you should see improvement over the next few years as you get older and mature

your enemy right now is fast metabolism, but that will slow down as you age.. i was skinny all my life too until i got into my early 20's then i started to bulk up very easily.

I wake up' eat 5 eggs with a protein shake, then for a snack a 25g protein bar, lunch is usually 2 chicken burger patties'(20g protein in each) along with potatoes or rice. Another protein shake for a snacks again. Usually buy a lunch plate of chicken breast, macaroni, and potatoes at the local grocery, for late dinner I'll eat whatever mom cooks for dinner. Before I go to sleep- 4 scoops chocolate ice cream, 1 1/2 scoop whey protein, rest milk. Anything I should add to this?

About 6 months working out like this. I started at 125 and I keep in between 130-135

I'm sorry to say but if you weigh 135 and 6% there is no way your diet is in check.

where is your green veggies?

not gonna get big off ice cream, shakes, protein bars and burger patties either. read the bulker in my signature below http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/diet-bodybuilding/bulking-up-using-your-diet-steve-way-830603.html.. you need real whold foods. i see very little to no nutrition in your current diet, you need a total makeover.

your workouts seem to be good, but you need to push harder and heavier and focus on compound movements more. squats, deads, dips, pullups, bench, rows, etc.

I do all of those. And thankyouvery much I will look into your diet and see where and how I need to fix mine. And again thanks very much appreciated.

^^^ yeah bro when I am bulking I spend about 30-40 bucks a day on food. I am in the grocery store EOD after the gym buying more food. they know me well there.

quality and whole foods cost more than processed junk but it will make a huge difference in how much you feed those muscles. if you have a low appetite you need to push through it and eat anyway. try to stay away from appetite killing foods.. condiments, sauces, butters, dairy, protein bars and shakes... those will all kill your appetite. they are great for a student who just wants to cure their hunger, but they are counter productive for someone trying to stuff themselves constantly.

 

[stevesmi]

also as much as I want to tear into you for even thinking about using steroids at 18 I know exactly how frustrated you are. but trust me.. DO NOT use steroids, totally unnecessary and they will screw up your hormones bigtime.. I did not touch them till i was in my very late 20's.. and today its very easy to gain muscle cause of all those years of training naturally and learning the ABC's of lifting and diet.

Lol I would love to be able to do that but there is no way I could afford that. I would just like to be able to gain 5lbs a month. If that is even possible?

It is totally my fault for being so ignorant in this category and not investing more time into looking up what I should be doing naturally, before even thinkng about steroids. I will look more into all of this and see where I am majorly screwing up at. I really appreciate all of this help!

yes you can gain or lose weight fast if you commit yourself.

however as i've already said you are fighting high metabolism which you will have to grow out of. it will take time. but if you improve your diet and keep working out hard you will get there
