Stunted Growth

[GetPissed]

hey guys just a random question

I was reading that steroids stunt ur growth. I started using juice at 19-20 do u think a couple cycles really affects ur growth that much.

I would recomend NOT TOUCHING AAS (steroids) until you are in your mid twenties... YOU NEED DIET/TRAINING/REST... study these things and you will grow... If you do AAS while those 3 factors are lacking you will be very disapointed and run the risk of health problems because of ur lack of knowledge of pct etc... but since no one your age listens and it would be a waste to flame you I will give you this advice:

Go to a doctor and have him X-Ray your growth plates and determine if they are closed. If they are closed then you are done growing and AAS will have no effect, however if you are still growing 99% of steroids will close ur growth plates... If you are still hellbent and will risk stunting growth, Anavar actually increases growth hormones...

Thanks bud,

At age 20 I did like a little test and then the following year I did some sust. I am currrent like 6'1 and I was just wondering if I could be 6'3. Just a random thought going through my head

good advice from 2far. anavar was actually developed for women and children. for children it is used because it does not cause the growth plates to close and has been shown to help with growth.

I agree, but do u think taking some juice at 19 really effected my growth?

bump now im concerned I fucked up my growth

2far is correct... if your growth plates were open at 19 you more than likely would have grown more... its hard to tell how things could have been but you definitely would have had a chance to grow whereas AAS destroyed that chance...

But hey maybe you never would have seen another inch... no reason to look in the past...

Bumping this for more info + expanding the question. (Not trying to jack this thread)

I believe it depends on more than just "I used early, therefore I stopped growing". I figure that would depend on the type of steroid(s) used, the dosage per week and the number of weeks the "cycle" was run. At that, did the growth plates close immediately or did it just hasten the process? Therefore maybe you just didnt reach certain skeletal growth potentials in the long run.

Also. Everyone worries about height, but what about the other bones that grow as you mature. Resulting in shoulder width, arm length, etc. These things all contribute to mature proportions. So which growth plates are most affected by AAS usage?
