What age to start at?

[theprofessor]

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".

eat 5000+ calories every day bro... you will grow..

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

damn...
agreed.

agree with professor too. eat MORE

I started a month ago at 19. I have been lifting sense I was about 16 because I was always active in sports. I think you have to be as much mentally as physically ready. I felt I was and still do. But if you jump on to soon and your body/joints arent ready for the strength you can seriouslly hurt yourself. The diet has to be locked down and consistant as well as your lifting. After doing PLENTY of research and talking it over with some knowledable people I made the leap. And am glad I did. But the question is, are you ready? If your not sure... then you arent. I dont think an "average" 18-22 year old is. Most still want to party to much, or dont take lifting seriouslly enough. Good luck on your desicion.

agreed with cityhick..most avg teens arent ready.. but jeez i live in texas and play f ball haha ive been liftin weights since i was 2(not really lol) but i was young.. i feel i could gain maybe a little more naturally but im just really impatient and my whole life or the future of my life is wut is at stake..where i sing on at and play and get an edu and maybe even go pro.. i believe 23-26 is a great age to start ur first test cycle.. but if i had to pic an AAS to do at a young age it would be EQ

21 seems to be the magic number

Way To Young

17, are you kidding me. you are even considering AS? EQ will shut you down just like test will. so saying eq is good if you are young compared to test is just stupid.

wait at least 5 more years....

also, just because you are big now does not mean you have stopped growing...
at 17 you probably still have growing to do

Well thanks for all the advice. I guess i'll just try to eat more, train hard and see what happens.
