    If you are serious about this, don't do steroids at your age. There are numerous threads you can search for with reasons as to not use. If you can grow with your natural level now, roids will only help to make you worse than you are now once you finish. EAT PROPERLY!!!!FOOD! that is your biggest friend.

    I think auslifta meant to write "If you can't grow with your natural level now..."

    You said it yourself... "i want to take my first and last cycle"
    Steroids are not a "quick fix" to "end all"
    If you decide to use them now, while you're not educated on proper Diet and Training habits... not only could you screw your body up for the rest of your life, but you'll most likely loose any motivation to work out without steroids.
    I have done it... and regret it. And I have many friends that juiced too early and are in the same boat.
    Like auslifta said... If you are serious, do more research. Gain naturally till you're 24,25,26. You may find that you don't even need steroids.

    I don't know if this applies to you but the other mistake that many make is to spend too much time in the gym. Many young people trying to get big are very determined and as such are their own worst enemy in that they do tons of reps and tons of sets. To gain mass particularly with a fast metabolism concentrate on heavy excersizes and compound movements. Use a wieght that will cause failure at 8 reps and limit your sets. Another mistake young guys make, do not forget legs (leg press and squat particularly) legwork is essential at your age to force growth to the rest of your body if you want big arms believe me leg work will get them as quick as curls. . Go to the diet section and post up your diet and you will probably find you have plenty of room for improvement. Focus on eating 7 solid meals a day and limit your whey to a PWO drink for your other meals get your protien from eggs (breakfast) then fish, chicken, beef (for a hard gainer this can be hamburger to keep the costs down)

    dude just wait. I did my first cycle to young and had no idea what i was doing i did anadrol and trenbolone and went from 150 to 200 by the end. only problem is i didnt understand how they actually worked and ended up getting gyno that i still have today. you got to do your research. If you choose to not listen to us ATLEAST make sure you study how to do a PCT correct nothing is gonna **** you up worse then if you pct wrong.

    AGE
    In humans your Endocrine system is not fully functional until an average age of 25yrs, although the main development is up to around 21yrs it still fluctuates a little bit up to its fully functional age. There is a risk of permanently damaging your HPTA if you take AAS to young and you could end up with symptoms of andropause and HRT for life. Symptoms could be Limp dick, low libido, depression, low energy, low endurance, erection problems and many more but.......are these the types of symptoms you want to have in your 20's?. Believe me its hard to cope with these in your 40's yet alone in your prime of your life.

    Around this age your Testosterone levels are the highest they going to be in your life naturally, so use what you have and don't take the risk of damage, I am passionate about this because ive seen it many times with young kids wanting to looking like their heroes and they think the answer is in an injection/tablet.

    Taking AAS to young can also cause problems with development, one other main problem is premature sealing of your epiphyeal bone and the consequences mean that you wont grow as big as your genetics could allow you to, there is a test which can be done to see if your growth plates have sealed yet but the average age is around 21yrs old.



    TRAINING
    You need a few years of hard training under your belt before even considering taking any kind of anabolic support, people who jump on a cycle to soon without having some quality years under their belt usually results in injuries, it takes time to develop your connective tissue, tendons and nervous system to heavy overload training. Slowly getting your own system use to these kinds of extreme's will only help in muscle growth later on when you do decide to start taking AAS.

    Build a solid foundation for muscle tissue to grow and maintaining and development will be far greater than without it. Many younger guys will start cycling before they have reached their genetic potential which is crazy when a good solid diet and training program will be far beneficial and productive to muscle building.

    Workouts should be mainly focused on basic movements with a priority of over loading the muscle each and ever time you train, increasing your strength and ability to lift in proper form will help with building the foundation for future development


    DIET
    A lot of younger bodybuilders don't know how to eat. Researching and understanding how your own body responds will help you get to your natural limit, the right food at the right time and a full understanding of proteins,carbs, and fats will only help you succeed in achieving your natural goals. Keeping a diet diary will also help you understand the importance of macro, nutrients, calories and should help you see in which areas you could be going wrong in adding lean muscle tissue.

    No matter how much anabolic support you have it will be worthless without proper nutrition, food will help build and maintain your valued muscle weather its natural, cycling or in PCT. Adjusting your food intake and consuming muscle building foods coupled with a solid training program will help you achieve your natural limit and foundation before you start AAS use.

    This area is a huge problem with the younger guys and I can't express enough how important diet/food is when first starting out, post and pre training nutrition are very important and understanding how to load and feed the body will help push growth and create a very natural anabolic environment.
