What age to start at?

[MrDave32]

I was wondering at what age should I start a cycle? I'm 20 now, is that still too soon. Or would it be ok to start a cycle.

I usually say 25 but people younger than that start ed with no problems. really depends on whether your done growing yet,20 could be a bit young though.

i would say that 20 is a little to early to start i have seen some guys casue major problems starting out to early... may i ask why you want to start A.S what are your stats..? are you looking to loose some weight get harder... have you been training long...? its hard to say at what age is good but rule of thumb Is 23- 24 with a good amount of training under your belt

there is no right answer to this. some people hit the gym hard for years and never see the big results they want, then all of the sudden you hit 30 and WHAM, you gain like a madman. that is what happened to me. from 28-31 i was natty, then grew a bit, then did a cylce and showed great results, then hurt my back and lost it all to being immobile.

I've been lifting for nearly 2 years and have gotten great strength gains. Mass wise though I just can't seem to gain. I've been eating just about 3,500 calories a day. Eating right. I weigh 163 about 5'9".

hardgainer, wait for it bro, in a few years, your metabolism will slow down, and you'll be able to make use of what you are consuming. I think of the I Love Lucy episode at the chocolate factory where they go zooming by and she can't eat or pack them all fast enough so they shoot off the end and go to waste.

Yep - I second that. I trained for 10 years before touching any anabolics... I was 27 for my first cycle...

True i agree but i hate to tell someone That yes its cool to start a cycle at age 20 when they only started to work out a few months ago some guys think that A.s is a short cut but its far from that , I have seen guys in the gym 19 -20 never do research and buy Stuff and a few years back there was a kid that was no older than 21 buy some GHB becasue guys were telling him how it release Natural growth by hitting REM faster, to make a long story short inseatd of a cap full he took shots of the stuff fished out (GHB HOLE) and swallowed his toung and died at the good old age of 21, Cops questionded every one at the gym , So I think that when ever a perosn can take on the responcibilty of A.S and what goes with it than Ok other wise they are going to hurt them selves


So I say 20 is too young
