Youngest Age to start? Give them some tips.

[Dimes]

Hey,

Lately I have been reading alot of 16-19 year olds talking about starting cycles with pretty hevy dosages of testosterones, I think that is way to young, what should be the youngest age to start a cycle? Im going to start my 1st one at 22, plus I also see people that have never trained , start training for the 1st time ever and use steroids, is this bad, how long should someone be training and what is the youngest age someone should start using roids, anybody with some feedbackwould be great, not only for me, but for all these teens already hooked on roids, see ya

21 and 5 years of training

why does somebody need to be training for so long in order to start the use of steroids? and why after 21, thanks

I am not flaming anyone on this board, but how many people out there really reached their full natrual potenial before they start AS?

less than 25% is my guess

also, you dont stop growing till around 21.
taking gear to early can close the groth plates.

that is not the main problem, and it is actually estrogenic activity that leads to epiphyseal fusion... There are numerous unwanted effects steroids could have on a person that was not entirely developed yet...
There are also ways to get around many of the problems, but if your too young to cycle because of maturity you probably haven't been training long enough to warrant steroids anyway

i agree with tojuice,ornottojuice.

there is not right or wrong age imo,it depends on your goals and what your willing to do to achieve them.i started when i was 17,im now 34 and 6'3" 285lbs..i really dont think it stunted my growth,you could argue that i may be 1 or 2" taller but im happy where im at

more like 5% if that. You know how hard it is to realy reach full genetic potential. That means everything would have to be perfect such as diet,training and rest!

[BajanBastard]

I don't buy into that reach "your genetic limit" talk. I do believe however that a solid 2-5 years of training should be under one belt before AAS use. Even better get committed to training and eating properly before you pick up the needle.

I agree. I know so many people who have a goal in mind that is totally within their reach naturally...I say try to reach it that way first. They also do not have a clue how to train...they go to the gym and hit a couple of chest excersizes with moderate intensity and wonder why they are not growing! Roids are not the answer for them...knowledge and experience are where it is at.

I was checking this thread out, just noticed it was me who wrote it, lol, good to see it again.

I dont think many have reached there genetic potential it takes a long time to reach your genetic potential
