Roids and growth

[DisCreeT]

Would your first cycle have an effect on growth as in height? or does it take so many cycles to completely shut it down, or is it a myth? Only happen with certain roids? Thanks!

If your not finished growing (vertically) I think that steriod use could certainly effect (stunt) your growth. I have always heard this. And it makes sense to me. I would assume that some are more detrimental than others.

I imagine it does to some extent. If your still a teenager, then hold off on steroids and just train hard. If you believe that you have a few more inches to grow.....or hoping for a sport like basketball or something.......than hold off.

This is the way it works to my understanding. Too much estrogen will prematurely close your growth plates. Raise your test levels, you raise your estrogen. It's not a myth. I've read lenghty posts on the subject.

So would an anti estrogen prevent stunting of growth?

You're trying to control a complex hormonal system in your body. It's not that simple. If you're not done growing, steroids would be a big mistake for a host of reasons. Someone else please chime in, I'm getting alittle tired of this.

hey DisCreeT, lay off the idea of juicing if you are a teenager.
you will be in a very anabolic state as you are anyway - if you juice now you may get big, but you will stunt your growth for sure.
Aint no good having muscles like arnie and the height of de vito.
Hit the protein creatine, ZMA, eat big, train heavy and rest up - there is no need to juice at this stage.

NO. Anti-estrogen is a misnomer. Nolvadex and Clomid ARE estrogen. I've read that Nolvadex is more likely to stunt growth than aromatizing steroids.
