Right age for roids

[chaos_theory]

Another quick poll to discover what age you guys think is best to start taking steroids , plus any opinions on the subject?

It depends on so many factors.......

Once you are mature enough:

a) Physically - have reached your natural growth potential.
b) Mentally - mature enough not to brag to others, and to use responsibly, and safely.

The general concensus is 23 years old, or older... (due to the fact most people' growth plates have fuses by now, and your hormone levels are more stable than if you were younger)...

Many people have used AAS younger than that, however, it's not advised if you are still making gains naturally.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have juiced at 24 or 25(voting on 25).

Great post

Back in '91 I did a baby cycle 2 months before my 21st b-day. I don't think it was enough to cause problems. Very low dose.

And that Rosie pic is giving me nightmares. Where on Earth did you dig up that smut?

A few of us from the boad have to sport it for a couple weeks, because we lost this week in the Fastasy Nascar league we have going.... no worries, it will be gone in time...

[whitehulk]

yeah it all depend on the knowledge of any person no matter how old they are. but a good age for a knowledgable person to start at is around 24-25.

You know i was thinking about this the other day and im glad you started a thread about this. Theres this kid that works out at the gym i w/o at and he plays h/s football. He is sixteen and its obviouse to everyone he had not matured fully yet. I and others think he had a chance to play college ball but hes very confused in whether he should use steroids . Jose Conseco said something like this "An athlete who is natural is good a athlete who used steroids is great" im not totally agreeing with that. I don't know that kids in a tough situation

[jordanfanatic23]

jose canseco is a shmuck if you ask me, he must have been a roid dealor and said stuff like that to convince people of what he USED to be.

[Glock-19]

I vote 30+ when a man really can use the extra help.

You mention that the growth plates have fused by the time you are 23, I know this is a hard question to give an accurate answer to because everyone is different, but how much taller could you grow between 21 and 23. The reason I ask is I have always been tall, I am now 6ft 5", but I feel my growth has basically stabilized since the age of 18, I turned 21 two months ago. I have been naturally training since the age of 16 and have researched supplements, drugs etc for just as long. I just want to know if you guys feel that for me at this age if steroid use would affect my final growth potential too much if I started now. Plus not just refering to my height, but am I refering to how large my frame will be, shoulder width, bone density etc.

You sound smart enough to already know the answer. Education and research will help you determine your path. Do not just take anyones word, look it up and toss it around before buying or doing anything. Always come back and post stats and cycle before hitting it up. Look in 3vandoos personal sayings, there is a quote that says basically "the mark of an educated mind is the willingness to consider and ponder a theroy, and still reject it."

When your endocrine system is fully developed and your gains have stopped even after increasing your calories quite high and exploring different training options. This could be 21-40 depending on the person.

I can research and do research all information, questions etc over and over. But at the same time I will never miss an opportunity to question a person who I believe can help me. I will never take information at face value, just like to round up everybodies experiences, to save learning a lesson the hard way.

Excellent answer! I have always said the most painful lessons in life are by experience.
