Bro, I am in no form of the word an expert, but I have educated myself on the subject of AS. I see that you have been registered on EF since Oct. 2002, have you not read anything? Every single post that comes from a teenager ends with the same majority conclusion…..DO NOT DO IT!!! There is at least 2 posts a month.
OK, so you want to be on the varsity team…….did you ever contemplate the idea that if you juice you might be caught? What high school team is going to allow you on? It would carry very bad publicity for the school and they are not going to allow that. Look at the rules.
So hypothetically, you do it (even though everyone is trying to protect you from a mistake) you make the team, and you blow an ACL (ligament in your knee) because it can’t support your frame. Now what? You have surgery, sit out the season, and stay at 6’2” when you could be 6’6” or so naturally, eaten right, trained right, and made it to the collegiate level, not just the high school senior team.
I am trying to keep this as concise as possible, but man you really need to take a hard look at things.
1) stunted growth : In adolescents of both sexes, premature termination of the adolescent growth spurt, so that for the rest of their lives, abusers remain shorter than they would have been without the drugs. (excerpt from: National Institute on Drug Abuse)
2) Possibility of injury. At 15 your bones and muscles are growing much faster than your tendons and ligaments, throw some AS into the equation and your tendons and ligaments no only have to keep up with your natural growth, but the effects of chemical growth as well. Your chances of injury are much higher.
3) Possibility of being caught. Is that something you want labeled with at 15? Not only being kicked off of the team that you so desperately want to be on (and stunted your growth for), but you will be labeled as a “Juicer” so if you ever were to take the proper steps to diet and training everyone would feel that you were growing due to AS not your hard ass work. I am not saying that people on AS don’t eat and train hard, they do, but the stigma that the AS ignorant public portrays, is far from the truth.
4) Get caught with those drugs on school property, and they will probably throw your ass in juvy. In the right jurisdiction they
Ultimately the choice is yours and you are going to do whatever you want, but you have plenty of natural test. All you need to do is eat right and train right. Don’t say you don’t have the time, because if a married man with children (who are in sports, which requires me to be at games and practices) and a full time career can take the time to eat and train correctly…..a high school kid sure can too.
Whether anyone else in school uses it or not this is your life, choice you make now at 15 will follow you till you die. You are obviously here because you have questions, hopefully the biggest question you are asking is “should I do it?” and the answer is NO. If you are truly wanting to hit the juice, get your training and diet in order and wait a good 5-7 yrs before you pop the pill, or stick a needle in your ass.
Sorry, this is kinda long, but……it is very important
