Waiting to reach Natural Potential before AAS

Just a question for all the Newbs. Everyone says wait until you reach your natural or at least close to your natural potential for lean body mass and strength.

Obviously there are many reasons for this, one is not to rely on steroids alone for gains, if you can't gain off cycle there's no way you can maintain gains post-cycle.

Another is being too young, obviously anyone under 21 years of age still has potential for growth (possibly even to mid twenties) and still has some natural development ahead. Also some people's bones are still growing into their twenties and they could potentially be closing the growth plates with AAS use.

Lack of experience/training, starting too early could cause results to be uninspiring due to improper training methods/diet.

Chance of injury, someone who has not developed their connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, joints) well enough is exposing himself to chance for serious injury due to explosive muscular growth during AAS cycles while connective tissues adapt more slowly (this is an issue even for someone who has reached natural potential, but somewhat less so.)

Is there anything else I'm missing?

Some say that you inhibit your potential for future gains by starting AAS too early, is this really true even for a conservative cycle?

Anyways just thought I'd throw some things out there so people who are thinking about starting AAS as an accelerated path to growth, instead of a tool to reach something beyond their natural capabilities, would have some things to think about. Trying to spread some knowledge/questions.
 
We can explore the psychcological aspects but le's not.

This has absolutely no scientific basis, but I believe it to be true...

"I think once you use steroids, it is VERY VERY difficult, if impossible to make gains without them."

Don't know why. Just seems to be the case.

Another reason to make the most of your natural potential first.

I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info. I might just hold off a few extra months before starting my first cycle.

Does anyone have any scientific basis for something like this? Just curious, because this is the general consensus. Anyone start too early and feel like they limited their potential?
 
One factor may be that after someone has used steroids, they have reached the maximum size they body would allow.. Our DNA dictates to an extent how much mass one can put on their frames (naturally).. by doing steroids one will surpass said limit thats is why one may not be able to achieve any more size after without the help of steroids but the same cannot be said for strenght gains..

I doubt very much that waiting a couple "months" will make a difference bro. Like you'll look back and say "thank God I waited those three months." In many cases they mean you are a couple YEARS away from needing to start.
 
st8grad as much as i like you big dog

you have to encourage the kid

You broke it to him

hopefully he does turn that few more months into a year

but regardless thats better than jumping on the gun ASAP
