Can I run a light cycle at 18 without irreversible side effects?
Hey guys, I've been training for over 3 years now and I'm turning 18 in about a month. I've hit a plateau in terms of strength even though I follow a solid diet and training regimen which I believe has to do with my genetics. Therefore I'm thinking of running a LIGHT (if possible) cycle of just Test and Deca solely to put on enough size for my first competition. The question I'm really concerned about is that is it possible to FULLY recover without having any long-term side-effects after just this one cycle? I don't want to be on TRT for the rest of my life/permanently damage my natural test level. Nor do I want my growth plates fusing prematurely. I've already read the article regarding steroid use for teens and the effect on HPTA however I'm just going to run this one cycle ONCE. I'm not looking to put on an insane amount of size quickly but rather looking for that anabolic "edge".
If so, could you please tell me the dosages/PCT I'd run? Thanks so much for taking the time to answer me.Last edited by hybridmind21; 08-06-2017 at 04:14 PM.

Short answer no.
If you can't put on size eat more.
If you've hit a plateau change up your work out.

Running any type of aas at your age will lead to trouble for you and it really isn't worth it read thread the young and steroids this will help you understand.

Pretty much the only thing you can safely use at that age is anvar and only at low doses. Doctors regularly prescribe it to young people and people with HIV or wasting syndrome to gain muscle and weight. By low dose I mean 40mg a day or less, a doctor would most likely prescribe much less if you came in malnourished and underweight. At these low doses you will gain if you are below your potential and eat well, you will be very close to known doses with medical studies to back up the side effects. Anvar is hepatoxic but at low doses will not cause any issues for healthy males. It's also not exactly suppressive since you are just maximizing your natural testosterone by stopping it from binding to SHBG which maximizes free test, over time it will slow down production since your levels will climb. But having a full blown shit down is essentially impossible since you are not adding test.
You will not gain very much on Anvar only so it's not really worth it unless you really need to gain a few pounds. When I was in high school and college it was a pretty popular PED on the sports teams but far from something you would use bodybuilding.

I believe you can run 1x cycle without any serious long term side effects, BUT... this cycle will lead to another cycle, and that cycle will lead to one more...etc... With that being said, if you want to minimise damage then keep away from deca and stick with test only. Deca can be quite harsh to recover from.
I've cycled since the age of 18 myself, am now 24 and on TRT (Personal Choice)

Dude I ran a test only cycle 500mg when I was 17 just turned 17. I did everything exactly as I was supposed to, 10 week cycle, ran an ai. Did my pct, recovered well and kept all my gains. But i did another and another I was full juice head by 19 dude. So take it from me, don't touch gear until ur 21 at the earliest. It's not just ur body it fucks up but ur mind bro, it gets wired all wrong from having massive test leveils and othee r steroids in ur body so young. I'm honestly wayy to alpha and crazy now. And ur test levels are so high just keep training hard and eating more clean food. Push urself in the gym and wait for steroids ur too young.

Honestly there is no way of telling as everyone is different. You maybe fine and you may not be afterwords. THe problem is there are known side effects for someone your age. But it's based off of statistical numbers, all drugs have side effects and we know from the data of any drug, what percentage of people will have side effects. You might fall into the category of people who do not experience them or you may. There is no way of knowing until you take it and see.
The real problem I see for your age is what happens after. Once you cross that threshold of AAS usage, training natural is basically gone forever. In order to make gains you will have to use again, and again and again. One major reason is that you create an artifical base. Meaning you reach a given point using drugs that as soon as you stop, you lose that base. Now if you train naturally and get to a spot and even after training and diet are spot on but you haven't put new muscle on for a couple of years. (yes years) Then you have hit your genetic base and that's when AAS is effective or is most likely produce results that are much easier to maintain or keep to some extent. Plus, even if you stop. You only fall to your baseline that was built naturally, not below. (Unless you have caused severe endocrine damage from cycling)
The issue you have to ask yourself is this.
1. Is one cycle going to get me to my goals
2. Is the risk vs benefit of cycling early going to effect my future
Health
3. If I start early am I ok with taking these drugs forever
4. Am I really pushing myself in the gym, resting and eating properly can I improve on this even in the slightest
5. Do I have the commitment both financial and time wise to do what it takes to do this properly and as safe as possible
6. What am I willing to risk to get what I desire. Am I truly going to be ok with the risk I took 3-5-10 years down the road.

Good post musclescience! See he took the time to type all that ip for u man, read that and then take a few months and really thing about this. I know ur 18 and think ur grown fully and all that but ur so far from being physically mature bro ur just starting to grow. I mean if ur a freak of nature and think u have a shot at being a pro bodybuoldr or athlete then u might have a good reason. If I could go back I would have never taken gear ever.. if ur anything like me u are probably gunna cycle anyway, if that's the case stay away from deca and tren forsure. Do ur research and respect the drug, steroids are a tool a bodybuilder has if ur diet and training are shit then gear will have very very little value to u.

It is had at th op's age to see life being any different than it is atm.
I tell my girlfriend it is like I have lived three different lives and this fourth guy I became when my wife left is the only one I have any respect for.
I am no one I was even two years ago.
I will post more about this in my thread but OP really think about it. You will not be the same person in ten years. Its naturaland normal life changes and nothing to be looked down upon.
Judging from my past this guy I am now probably wont be here at 50.
Life changes everyone.

THANK YOU ALL for the valuable information, you've really helped change my perspective on steroids . I've decided to make a somewhat intelligent decision and hold off on using gear, but this has got to be one of the most helpful communities I've ever been on. Thanks again for clearing it up for me!

Good to hear! I'm telling the gains ur able to make right now at ur age will be thr best natural gains ull ever make. Take advantage of having high test right now. If anything get some t booster like nugenix or something. My dad is 62 he takes that shit and I swear he has gotten ripped from it.

I tried a few when I was a teen before I touched gear. Can't say if it did much cuz yea ur natural levels are already high. What I was trying to say if u want to take something to get an edge there's otc options that do work.

Some are but if you pick one that blocks SHBG and allows you more circulating free Testosterone there is a lot of scientific data on that. But then again at your age, you are producing basically the equvilant of 250-300mg worth of Test E shot anyway.

What brand would you reckon that does what youve described
google brought me to this https://cleanmachineonline.com/products/cell-block-80/

Yeah something like that. I was thinking about resveritrol (spelling) that's the one with a lot of clinical data if I'm not mistaken. Whenever I see or hear about a new supplement or wonder drug I always pubmed the active ingredient and read ALL the studies that's available on them. That's a great way to sift through the BS.
