How old should you be before using gear ?

[Work Sucks]

While reading someone elses post the question kept popping up, how old should someone be before they juice.

I know alot of people who are in great shape who started at 18, I know others who didnt start untill they were in their mid/late 30's.

I started when I was 22.

After reading all the flaming someone elses thread got I started thinking maybe I started my gear too soon in life, or maybe not.

I also started wondering if I should have worked out a few more years before I took any juice.

I've been working out on and off since I was 14, im 24 now, I was in a motorcycle wreck and broke my leg some time back, after I was able to walk again I started going back to the gym, I was 140lbs when I started lifting again, I'm back up to 190 now, And, have been working out for 10 months religiously, again. I've trained religiously before in the past, before I broke my leg.

But I've never been some musclebound hulking giant, or even extreamly ripped, reading other people's post make me wonder if I should have waiting before taking my first cycle at 22 years old, and if I should wait before taking my next cycle of deca and sus250 in a few months.

FLAMERS NOT WELCOME.

Everything I've ever read on gear says the same thing, but it seems everyone on this forum has their own opinions, just seeing what replies I get.

congrats on recovering from the m/c wreck, i am almost fully recovered from mine over a yr and half ago. from what i've read the longer you wait and the more mature your muscle mass is the better chance you will have of holding on to a majority of ur aas gains.

quite a bold and rather inaccurate statement IMHO!!! no flame to you bro... but I feel it was a little rash... true there is no set time for everybody... as everybody is different... but it is safe to say 21-22 is pretty safe age to start using as you body has pretty much finished it's natural growth course by then!! that is not to say that you can't begin earlier as many do... but before then you should have enough natural test in your body that a good diet and training program will work miracles!! you don't want to begin before your growth plates have run their own course!! I would venture to bet that most knowledgable users ie experienced users would agree that before 18 is rather foolhearted... and between 18-21/22 is a personal choice should you know all the risks... be knowledgable and have your training and diet nailed.... for most that isn't the case at such a young age!! but there are exceptions to every rule!! like I said in the beginning no roast iintended bro!!

rofl.... I'm I dont know why but when you mentioned you were in louisana I pictured some guy riding his bike down some road, when suddenly some idiot backwood hill billies come crashing through a side road of thick tree's hitting the poor guy, aka you.

Well it's good to hear you're riding again, and I know all too well how cold reno gets I was in job corps for a year +, Reno is nice if you're not down by casino's.

^^^ur close. we got ran over by some Pentacostals who were late for church. they were praying over me and my girlfriend when i came to on the road. enjoy that warm weather down there and look out for idiots when ur riding.

IMO at least 21

I dont see 22 being to young that is about the time I did my first cycle, Your main concern is to wait until your body is done growing and if at that time you have hit a plateau shoot it up...
