i believe i have read that there is a large surge in testosterone that hapens in your body that is the signal for your body to close the epiphisis and therefore stop growing, i have also read that estrogen is what causes the epiphisis to close. if either one of these is true i don't see how steroids such as primobolan, winstrol or deca would stunt growth only testosterone would, yet i have heard that oxandrolone is the only drug that won't stunt growth. Could you shed a little light on what causes the bones to close and if low androgenic/non-aromatizing steroids really do stunt growth, how?     | ||

It is my understanding that Estrogen is what does it. Thanks to aromatization, Testosterone will lead to stunted growth. So will Bolderone, Dianabol, Deca, etc., as each is also convertable to E, to varying degrees. Use of Primo, Winny, Ox, etc. should avoid this problem, unless there is another mechanism of which I am unaware. ------------------ | ||

Since deca does not convert to estrogen, would it stunt someones growth? | ||

Deca does covert to E (weakly,) just not through the aromatase enzyme. ------------------ | ||

low androgenic/ non aromartizing steroids in low doses might not stunt your growth but why take the risk. You'll inevitably end up using to much, whihc will stunt your growth, and if your young you risk screwing up your natural test production for the rest of your life. MIght not happen, but why take the risks, just wait. Unless your under the supervision of some super expert doc you most probably won't be able to do it right on your own. | ||

i just turned 20 and was thinking of doing 400mg's/week of primo only. i know i won't be gaining a lot of weight but that's not what i'm going for, 15 solid pounds would be awesome. would this stunt any growth i might have left? | ||

20?! I thought you were like 14 or something. I still can't reccomend that you do roids. But the truth is unless your very much a late bloomer your pretty much all done growing except in the pelvis and maybea in the shoulders. | ||

14! what the hell made you think i was 14? i also don't agree that most people are done growing at 19/20 get a group of 19/20 year olds and a group of 23/24 year olds and look at the huge difference. | ||
