Too young to start steroids? But I feel ready. Gimme advice pls.

[UCDavis]

I've been working out for 6 years, working out with a good bulking diet + legit training regimen for 3 years.

I started working out when I was 14, played high school football all 4 years.

Currently a college sophomore. My stats are 5'9", 170 pounds, 11% bf.

My arms measure 15" when flexed without a gym pump.

If I'm honest, I don't think I'm emotionally mature yet. I get mad easily and suffer from paranoia. I quit smoking weed and alcohol 3 years ago when I got serious about my training.

I feel like I'm 100% physically ready. I'm lean and have a good base and diet. I take a multi every day and I lift 4 times a week.

People on here say that the minimum age to start taking gear is 24 and since I'm 20, I run the risk of closing my growth plates and my shoulders won't get more broad and I won't grow in size.

Should I wait until my 24th birthday to start or should I start now? I know all about running a proper test e cycle for 12 weeks, taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) during cycle, and post cycle therapy (pct).

I feel like my body can handle it, but everybody seems against it because of my age. I'm not like the other 20 year old here who've only been lifting a year or 2 and are 140-155 pounds at 16% or whatever.

What do you guys think? When did you start cycling?

Thanks for the input.

When I was 20, I was 5'-9" 190, with 18" arms. You're not ready. 170lbs is pretty light, even for your height, put on more naturally. Suck it up and stay natural. Wait till you pretty much max out genetic potential, which you're not close too yet. I did'nt start till I was 28.

wait brother.... no need to rush possibly shutting down completely

I'm confused about this. Is there a higher chance of shutdown at 20 rather than 24?

When I graduated high school, a lot of my teammates started prohormones and oral steroids which are supposed to be way harder on the body but they're fine and didn't have any complications. They were 17/18 when they started.

What makes someone under 21 more prone to dangerous results on test as opposed to some dude who's 24?

Your hormones are just not balanced out yet. Your natural test levels are SO high, that messing with this stuff early on just financially makes no sense at all. Your getting PLENTY of test for free. If your not growning fast enough @ 20 your either not eating right, sleeping enough, not training enough, or overtraining.

I know you do not want to hear this, but your trying to take a shortcut. Seriously, the time and money you spend on AAS is better spent on researching and buying items for diets. Get ALL your ducks in a row and get the fundamentals down 1st, then bring in AAS.

You can start @ 23-25, waiting till your 30 is even better, but at least study BB a few more years first. There is no rush.... if your really that serious you will be lifting until your 50's and then some anyhow. You have time my friend.

Bro dont take this the wrong way but if your only at 170 after three years of lifting with this bulking diet u need to change it. Go to the diet section get in touch with the mod 3j tell him your diet and goals and then hell tell you what to change so you can see the gains.

I've been as high as 190 before, with ridiculous BF though.

I can wait until 23/24. What should be my target weight before I start?

I'm kinda worried that my source will get shutdown by the time I'm ready for juice.

 

[weights=life]

Your 5 9 so id shoot for 190 aromd 13% bf would b good. Its all bout diet get in touch with 3j. You wont b disappointed. Im a client. And when one source gets shutdown three new onea takes its place.

Hang around make friends learn and by the time your ready someone here will be willing to help you.

 

[TryinToGetStrong]

There are a million sources so that shouldn't be a worry. Like they said diet definitely is the biggest part of it, and if you're 170 you don't need gear of any kind you need to eat right.

u shouldn't worry about a source.. with correct diet and training you can get pretty damn big by 24..

my clients add an average of 1lb a week when bulking with me.. that's clean weight too

 

[Dfresh07]

trust the vets. get at 3J

 

[stevenmd]

UCD? Damn bro, plenty of gyms in the area to get big at. Eat big, lift big, grow big. Learn the right stuff about workout routines and diet and you won't need gear for a few years.

If someone has a reason that I'm looking past please step in and say something...

But I think you should look into peptides. A couple cycles of DES will get you anabolic and teach you how to cycle and everything. No natural shutdown so no post cycle therapy (pct). I think it could be a good experience for you. I mean you are an adult.

I still say you need to learn how to eat though.

Man wait wait wait....
wait and study about aas that way when your 24-25 you can run a cycle with no growth inflicting problems. Keep bulking, You can gain alot muscle in 4-5 yrs. Don't sweat it, I did the same thing, and I heard from people was "damn man do you play football, your fucking huge?" "You big as a house you play football?" " I haven't seen you in awhile your getting too fucking big, I'm gonna have to shoot you, I can't just straight fight you lol."

Keep working on getting big and do your thing bro

 

[snowblue]

I dont think it will shit him down but being so young I personally wouldnt

 

[Mudge]

Since we are all being honest, while lean your base numbers are that of a small person. My brother is shorter and weighs 185, doesn't lift a thing, and is in no way big. Actually I remember the athletic, non-big guys in freshman high school being 170 pounds.

Sounds like your diet, and probably your lifting are not working for you.

 

[China_Wall]

slow it down bro... not a race

so u quit weed and alcohol when u were 17? hahaha... that was the part that had me laughing... classic
