does AS kill natural gains?

[dacowboy]

im not considering starting a cycle or anything, just wondering if people who start AS at age 18-24 lose their high test levels, or will it go back to how it naturally would be? i know it can stunt growth, but what about test levels?

anyone have experience with taking cycles at this age?

it can definitely mess up your natural test levels at a young age. the endocrine system doesnt fully mature until around 25 and there are many factors that feed back on one another during these years before your body decides what levels of each hormone it wants. if you throw extra hormones into the picture, you can do real damage by shifting the levels of hormones in the body. it may not always do damage, but better safe for a couple years than sorry for many years.

Right on Sin...well put.
