What's your opinion on teenagers using AAS??

[synthazeus]

I've been working out for 8 years. Even when I first started working out as a teenager years ago, their were kids using gear left right and center. I was always intrigued, but never did it. I watched people the same age as me go from scrawny 130lb weaklings to 180-200 lb jacked as f*ck and stronger than ever. I watched them grow like crazy.

Everyone expected that I was using as a teen, seeing as I was the only teenager in my school who could bench and deadlift 3 x his body weight. And doubling kids my age.

I look back now and think, what would've happened if I started earlier?

I've had teenagers come into the supplement shop I work at, trying to work their way into steroids and asking if I can get them. It's interesting to see so many youngs wanting to go down that path. I personally think it's your God given right, as long as you've paid your dews in the gym and worked out long enough set a firm base and know a thing or two about training and dieting.

I have discussed the topic with people before but thought I'd share it with my fellow board mates, comment what you think about teenagers using AAS.

I don't like it myself and its not necessary in most cases.
These kids are looking for results quickly not realizing there
own hormones are still extremely productive as a teen.

Im 16 and have very low natural testosterone. Iv been training nearly 5 years now im 5 7 200lbs at about 11-12% bodyfat. Squat 405x3 dead 485 and bench 250 all as a natural. I have researched peds and aas for month's and month's and am aware of all the pros a d cons. what would your guys opinions be if i start gear in the next few month blasting and cruising on trt?

Not trying to hijack this thread just thought it was the appropriate place to post

I don't like it either because most kids don't know how hormones effect the endocrine system and I know many that can't have kids or are on Trt like myself !

But as stated above some have very low nAtural t levels and then If ur considered to have hypergonadism then yes test is appropriate ! And when that's the case it makes gear easier to use and not have to worry about test levels going back to normal !



But on the flip side not many guys that are experienced with hormones really know how they affect ur mood and emotions ..

All you young guys I will speak with experience and tell you this ..!

When ur young your body is not just growing muscle it is changing inside chemically and the brain and functions really rely on proper balance of hormones to develops properly !

Now yes there is exceptions to the rules guys that don't have issues or guys that can do things without problems but all in all taking a risk when ur young is not wise unless u just don't care about ur future
Having kids , future wife , healthy Children etc....

That's just my 2 cents

 

[Stackinplates]

Big rose we have talked before and u are very knowledgable !
But u have to ask urself this
If u started to Blast and cruise would it bother ya if one day u were told u could never have kids ?! Not saying it's gonna happen but it is a very big and real possibility ! So the next question for all the young guys is is the gains and mass worth the future memories and fun with family? If it's worth it then shit !! Go for the gold and do what u gotta do!!

But who am I to say anything .... I'm just a guy online that loves to lift

That would scare me absolutely. I do plan on having kids one day and would hate to not be able to. Havong said that i dont beieve waiting 10 years or so to have kids before getting on gear is worth the feeling that having low t gives you. As i said ealrier i am not one to skimp out on my health and obviously there are things you cant avoid no mater how hard you try but imo and it is sonething i have discussed with my parent it is worth it. Esp seems as when i was sitting around 5-6% bf as a full natty i couldbt have sex even if i tried anyway!

 

[bigorse]

And i do listen to everything everyone says on here, i take everything with a grain of salt but knowledge is power right?

 

[Stackinplates]

Have u tried getting test levels up using clomid? And other pct drugs

What's ur free test levels ?

 

[bigorse]

Yeah im getting another set done then il run nolva for 4 weeks come off for 2 then get another set.

I dobt think it will help though as my estrogen, lh and fsh are all perfect

 

[bigorse]

Im on osta at the moment and just started s4 and i feel slightly better maybe 10% and my gym performance has increased altough i never related my decrease in gym performance to low test as i was 4-6% bf and on relatively low cals and high cardio

I personally have been intrigued about steroids since I first heard about them. As a teen I saw my first muscle magazine at 13 and I was then pulling my dads old Weider weightlifting set into the garage to start lifting. I was like most guys here and liked Arnold and Stallone, Van Dam etc growing up. So I've always wanted to be bigger than I am naturally. With all that being said I think steroids as a teen is poor choice. I have worked tremendously hard since starting lifting when I was 14. I jumped from 95lbs as a freshman to 170lbs at 15% BF probably as a senior and didn't grow a inch vertically. I lifted a lot and wrestled, played football etc. If I had a better knowledge on diet, supplementation and training I'm sure I could have made even better improvements. I think AAS shouldn't be done until mid to late 20s. I am just starting my first cycle at almost 29yrs old. I feel I am at a point of reaching the top of my genetic potential and want to break a long time plateau. Teens should wait and utilize their own hormones and wait till more mature physically and mentally. Although I know TRT is mentioned that I could see as an option if from a legitimate source and health safety is a priority.

And by no means do i mean to be cocky and arrogant but i have been lifting 5 years and am a leanish 200lbs at 16 and 5 7 so i do have decent genetics and a pissible future, though being a pro isn't my sole goal. I actually aspire to get into the supplement business and use my physique to market my product like a marc lobliner type of thing.

I've always been aware my genetics have not been great, I started at 95lbs and got to 170lbs in 4 yrs, I was about my max weight for height when I joined the military and was actually a fat recruit in boot camp even though I had a six pack. Anyways being in for 8+ years I averaged 180lbs and now over 190lbs. So being in the military and the training, deployments, exercises, and various other factors definitely limited my growth. You though at 16 do have some great stats, genetics are definitely in your favor. With that said I would pursue what you mentioned before if that's your goal. I wouldn't personally try to become too extreme in size though if being an IFBB pro isn't your focus, I think you have a very good weight on you at your height since we are close in that factor, I would mainly focus on quality muscle not quantity. You also are very young man, years of growth ahead of you, especially with your current stats.

i cant see progress continuing much further naturally with my current test situation unfortunately and although it is my goal to get into the business side of things i have always had an obsession to be as big as humanly possible, but not at all costs unless i thought i really had a chance at being a top 10 mr O. as for my low test i defiantly havent always had low test as i developed extremely early as in i was shaving at 12. i believe my on set of low test was caused by dieting as natural to contest shape and since then by balls just seem to have not switched back. having said that since staring ostarine and s4 i have began to progress nicely in the gym with both strength and size.

il make a separate thread and post what i plan to do as far as my first blast but it will defiantly be on the conservative side as if im staring at 16 im going to have plenty of time and opportunity to push the dosage.

Dude your 16 fucking eat more to gain more can't be worried about maintaing 10% and gaining wi be slow

 

[bigorse]

Trust me i can eat more than enough to gain, i can eat my way up to 220 easy but that doesnt mean im putting any muscle on. As i posted in my own thread my decision to start using if my test doesnt improve over the next few months and blood tests is not perforance related it is for my well being and to not feel like shit with low test.

 

[bigorse]

Im not maintaining 10% either im up from 6% with striated glutes at Christmas. Im just currently at 10-12% il let myself get up around 15% no worries

Interesting, good on you man. I was the same. I was extremely skinny starting out, both my parents were clear ectomorphs. I stood at 5'9 130 lbs.
what's your cycle?

Good cycle. I'm actually on my first cycle to, pretty much the same. Except I running test enth. Everything at the same doses though, not running the hcg. Us my arimidex at 0.5 eod

 

[Wolf123]

When I started lifting at 15, the owner of the gym where I went talked to me about AAS... he strongly suggested to me that I stay off them until I'd reached my natural potential. I held off the juice until 24 and I'm glad I did.

Once you put a chemical into the mix, you're never again playing with your natural potential, but an enhanced version of yourself. The big gains may seem to fade between cycles, but you've impacted the muscle fascia and the proportions irrevocably. After cycle #1, you're dealing with a new baseline. It's good to know where your body's genetic structure takes you, so you can properly evaluate where the AAS might take you.

The other issue I have with people starting AAS, is not necessarily an age related one, but it bears mentioning.... You're getting involved with some pretty serious hormonal engineering of your body when you start playing with steroids. You need to really develop an understanding of how and why they work, what could go wrong and what to do. In many cases you can't rely on your doctor, they have more hysteria pounded into them at med school that Nancy Regan. You'll likely be teaching your doctor about doses, ancillaries, esters and sides (and if ANY of those words confuse you... that's proof you need to do your reading).

I think AAS are fine. They are tools to reach a goal. But they're powerful tools that need to be respected and unfortunately the current climate means YOU need to be your own educated master. I wish dealers were more selective about ensuring some of their clients read more.
