Hey, I'm looking to gain some bulk and get stronger, and I want to know what I should go on to do that. Im 18, skinny (5'10 141lbs) and inexperienced in this. I know i'm kind of young, but I still want to try. What would be the best thing for me with minimal side effects and a niec increase in bulk and strength? Right now I only work out like twice a week, and im still new to it, but i'd like something to help me out.
Thanks
First of all I would suggest you get a few years under your belt at the gym and a good amount of muscle before you start.
You need to build a foundation on that body first.And get a solid diet and training program together.Before you know it 3 years will have passed and you could start to think about steroid use then.
creatine and if youre thinking of steroids at 18 it is a seriously bad idea. Wait until you are atleast 20-21 until you are done growing or you may hinder growth spurts and cause permanent irreversible damage to your body including a chemical inbalance due to the introduction of unnatural high levels of test into your plasma. You will hinder the growth plates.
I have heard reports that creatine can hinder growth. Is this true?
LMR,your slow tonight.Are your fingers tired? :p
NO,that nonsense was going around years ago,but it turned out to be all bullsh!t.Quote:

Excuse the spelling. I left school at 16. LOL
What kind of creatine Bro.? Cheap stuff will give you the runs but any good brand name s/b no problem.
Stealth big, WAIT three years then think about it. Research closed growth plates and testosterone serum levels in teens. Dude you've got more test in you right now than some guys on juice.(well maybe I'm exaggerating).
Seriously, At 18 your test levels are super high. Build some mature muscle before turning to the darkside.
Hey guys, I'm on dial up so I replying to a post that you probably read, wrote , answered and ignored before I even read it.LOL
Liquid form works best for me. The tabs sometimes made my stomach upset.
Tabs????
You mean those chewable creatines. Those are awful!
I was using york monohydrate powder form. I t was very cheap. I tis made by the people who make the weights.
Celltech, EAS, Prolab,
Use a good name, no impurities= no sides.
I didn't know York made supps.
There range is very basic. Just protein, creatine and weight gain
Thanks for the replies. I'll take the advice and wait.
From the sound of it, creatine could be just what I need to help me do more good when i work out. also, a better diet.
thanks
If you going to use creatine bro, do not use liquid form or tabs IMO they both suck, use the regular powder.
