Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Do you think that starting using AS at that age- 20-23 mainly- affected your shoulder width? I know that early use can stunt vertical height but was wondering if it would significantly affect shoulder width and rib cage size? Did you guys get wider(from bone growth not muscle growth) after you started using? IF so what did you use(non-aromatizing AS(primo, winny, oxandrolone) vs. aromatizing(test, deca, etc..) Im 20 and this is the only thing that keeps me from using anything right now. Thanks
GUYS that started using 20-23 yrs old?

Anavar is the only AS that wont fuse growth plates and its oral so its easy for a first timer.

Arnold used at a younger age & his growth seems fine to me. Since he was Mr O at 23.

I posted this reference on another board recently FWIW. This in no way is intended to address your primary question re: "width." I am simply providing you with an additional reference to help you think this physiological issue through as you consider using at a younger age.

Extract:
In long bones, the growth and elongation (lengthening) continue from birth through adolescence. Elongation is achieved by the activity of two cartilage plates, called epiphyseal plates, located between the shaft (the diaphysis) and the heads (epiphyses) of the bones. These plates expand, forming new cells, and increasing the length of the shaft. In this manner, the length of the shaft increases at both ends, and each head of the bone moves progressively apart. As growth proceeds, the thickness of the epiphyseal plates gradually decreases and this bone lengthening process ends. In humans, different bones stop lengthening at different ages, but ossification (bone formation)is fully complete by about age 25. During this lengthening period, the stresses of physical activity result in the strengthening of bone tissue.
