Teenage Steroid Use

[Quigley]

i'm a teenager, 17, and i'll admit that i have even thought about AS use. But the more i thought about it the more i realized how it was just an easy escape to getting big. Now i'm more focused on seeing how big i can get without AS and the day i reach my full potential will be the day i use them.

You are a wise young man!!
That is exactly how AAS should be used. I waited myself and it was real difficult. It was in the middle 80s for me and juice was not illegal, cheap, and you could buy from 5 out 10 guys at the gym.
Use them to break through plateaus. You should wait until at least your mid 20s.

One thing I would like to point out is that most threads about people being on HRT contain the following line: "I made some stupid decisions when I was young and did not know what I was doing"

Now at 30 or so they are on HRT. I think the main problem with late teen steroid use is the lack of research. Most teens that think they are done growing really are not, but once they set their mind on hitting the gear no one will talk most of them out of it. The best thing the rest of us can do is to properly educate them to keep them from ruining their lives.

I hate seeing "Dude, you are too young, don't touch the gear" So now rather than sharing in the wealth of knowledge that is contained in the brains of the EF members they are cast out to try things improperly. I always discourage the use at that age, but tell them if they are going to do it, I point them in the right direction.

i've been researching steroids since i was 16. it's very appealing at that age. you read all this stuff how guys are getting huge in a couple years from a handful of cycles. teens want the same thing, quick big results. i also have done enough research to realize that i dont need to be doing them right now. 4 years later i still read about steroids almost daily and haven't touched the stuff. i feel like i know more than most roid junkies. when i do feel ready i at least know what exactly i am doing and what to expect.

whatever man... I am not a beginner. Ive made my way up to 220 lbs.

hmm, i've made it to 215 at 5'8 natural.

Nelson Montana...great post!
I started BB hardcore at 12. Wanted to be a pro wrestler & compete in BB someday. Started competing in BB at 16, natural, in the teen comps. Started using AS at 19, to get ready for the men's open the following year. Broke into pro wrestling at 22. I'm 40 now and still competing. I feel I have only average-to-low genetics, as I have always been a hard-gainer. Although I never became rich or famous in either sport, I do not regret using AS at all, and I'm very happy and thankful to have realized both dreams I had as a kid. As long as God wills, I will compete in both sports, because they are still fun for me. There are lots of evils in the world that teens are into...street drugs, alcohol, etc. I feel that AS are the least of all evils, but a teen should definitely train natural for as long as possible before using. Doctors & top athletes should go into the Jr. Highs & High schools and teach practical AS use and their dangers and positives. The only reason the government is taking such a stand on AS and some current health food store products, is simply because nowadays the majority of the public is very intimidated by large, bulked-up athletes. Through the '70's & '80's bodybuilder's and those who looked similar were looked up to. Nowadays, we are looked down upon, and the general public "frowns" on our activity. The media has alot to do with it. Even with the government's stance on the subject, I believe the truth with eventually shine through, and they will be eating their own "crow."

Here is my situation...

I am 18 and have had shoulder surgery about 4 months ago. Turns out I may need surgery again. I am getting Division II interest for football even though I only played 4 games at the end of this season. I have been lifting for about 2 years now, I weigh 240, and am about 20% bodyfat.

I am being considered for a 5th year in high school so I can play another year and get a scholarship to a Division 1AA school or possibly a Division 1A school. I have been researching steroids for about a year, but havent really used any at all. In order to compete at this level, strength is an absolute must. The surgery has really put me behind, and the fact that I may need to get another one is even more scary...

I am currently in a Molecular Biology class and researched how Oxandrolone would effect fibroblasts on collagen in creating more procollagen which forms into a matrix to form collagen. It works via stimulating the mRNA of procollagen I and procollagen III in fibroblasts which in turn creates more procollagen I and procollagen III. Procollagen I synthesis is doubled and procollagen III synthesis is enhanced 11 times...that is truely amazing...

By doing this research and understanding how the drug works on a molecular level, I feel this may be my miracle in speeding my recovery safely.

The only thing is I cant get my doctor to prescribe it, and it is very expensive to buy on the black market...at least for me it is. To work properly I would need 40-50 mgs a day.

Anyways...this is just my rant and any input and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Same here man, i am 16, looking to compete competetively in Division 1A 1AA football, possibly 1A soccer.
I also had surgery to fix the anterior tendon in my right shoulder, to keep it from dislocating. Now after 7 months it has started happening again. I have not used AS as of yet, i am 5'9 183 9%BF. BP is up to 280 and squat at 470.
I would say keep it clean as long as you possibly can, i've seen too many people and friends fail at this and end up messing themselves up worse/getting gyno.

Even if you are SET ON doing AS, have the decency to do the research. Know about the side effects and what to look for.

Also, i would NOT suggest a 5th year of HS. Most colleges, will not even look at a 5th year senior, unless you are simply amazing. If you have faith in yourself, go to a good college, and walk-on. If you have the talent, coaches will see it.

Again, i will not even think about steroids until AT LEAST college. Maybe further on. If so many people have made it with out using AS, why not me?

Why

shit man, you didnt try to hard to make gains before putting a substance into your body. Even at 140, 5'7 you dont seem like you would have any natural frame to build off of since you started so early. People like this make us look terrible, if you have only been working out for 13 weeks it is almost certain that you do not have the training habits/diet to achieve anything worthwhile.
In your case, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, i dont see why ANYONE would start at such an early age and low weight.

I can not understand anyone seriously doing gear until they have reached there maxium height, which is usually after they are 24 or 25. 2nd they should reach their natural potenial, which would be late 20's, then start a cycle.

unfortunately now a days, highschool and college sports are so over run with aas, that it seems if you arent juicing then you cant compete, unless your gifted. Especially if your playing football on the interior line, playing against kids that are 6'5 300+ pounds and juicing is near impossible to compete with as it is. Im not condoning it by anymeans, but at the same time, you gotta do what you gotta do if you want to make it to the next level.
