first....good post riker. i am 18, and i learned the hard way bout juciin too young. gained 28 lbs when and lost most of it. if your too inexperienced and u start hittin the juice, ur gonna have 1 of 2 problems (probably both)
1. most of ur gains are water- your body is simply not cut out too gain that much mass that quick
2. your gonna lose most of it- ur body has a "memory" of its own, ajdusting its body chemistry etc according to its demands, redefining what homeostasis is in a way. so the less you have lived the life, the less ur gonna keep because your body chemistry and whatnot is not designed to be capable of sustaining that kind of muscle mass, its unnatural.
trust me that search button does wonders, i learned soo much from that (well that stupid thing that limits it to 5 can suck my hairy left nut and hte right one too if its up to it)
all that said...can someone explain to me a couple tihngs?
i know most of the veterans say not to deal with AAS till u have reached your genetic limit. how does that make sense? anything past your genetic limit is temporary and your body will not keep it. so unless u wanna be HUGE, and i thikn most of the site wants to be jacked but not ronnie, it doesnt make sense to wait that long unless ur plannin to stay on cycle for the better part of the yr, like many of the topp IFBB pros do, which is def not healthy lol talk bout shuttin urself down haha. plus, waiitng is one thing, but to hit ur geentic limit will take DECADES, lol not years, so its also quite iritating
but anyways, newbies, u heard it not only from the vets, but from a guy with only 1 post! haha so trust me, wait it out. i kinda do disagree with the guys who say to waist till ur like 27, but still, being like this one post i read 2 days ago and doin a 1g of test

at 19 with no cycles under ur belt is askin to be shut down permamnently post-cycle.
