To start off, I just have to say something to all the young bros (like me, I am only 19) who want to juice. I came to this site at 6'1 170lbs looking to do a Deca only cycle, because I was convinced I couldn't grow fast enough naturally. I thought I had a good diet because I ate what are marketed as "good foods," however they are far from that. After getting some advice from the experienced bros on this board, I decided NOT to do a cycle for many reasons:
1. Damage to my endocrine system
2. Stunted Growth
3. Lack of Actual Knowlege (I thought I knew quite a lot)
These effects ARE real, and in the long run, will be comparatively much worse than the benefit you receive from your first cycle. So please, reconsider when you are young (under 21) and considering doing a cycle.
I cannot stress enough how essential a good diet is to any weightlifting program, it is probably 80% of the battle.
To back this up, I will use myself as an example.
As I said, I wanted to juice at 6'1 170 lbs after training for 2 years (incorrectly might I add).
After visiting both the diet and workout forums, designing proper training and eating paterns with the help of very knowledgeable bros from this board, I went from 170lbs to 220lbs in about 2 years (from 17 years 0 months to 19 years 10 months). All I did was bust my ass in the gym, eat right, and remain constant. CONSTANCY IS KEY. DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED IF YOU DO NOT SEE RESULTS IN ONE WEEK! Stick with it and I guarantee you will make huge gains. I thought I couldn't gain, but once I got my diet and workout in check I discovered the natural test I am producing is MORE than enough to produce huge gains.
I will be happy to help any other young guys with a diet, I'll even give you the exact one I used to get where I am today (this goes for the workout plan as well).
Just consider this when you are thinking about juicing, because I guarantee you can still grown naturally. I did. Your body must maintain for the rest of your life, so don't ruin it for vanity.
Peace and good luck.
