Stunted growth?

**barnabus** · 05-08-2008, 05:32 PM

I've heard alot about steroids stunting someone under 21's growth but I just wanted to no how/why it stunts your growth??? surely increasing testosterone would promote growth and with a good pct you won't have messed up your natural hormone production?

Your growth plates could fuse. How old are you?

I'm 19 basically but not planning on doing my first cycle til next year at least anyway. So the hugely elevated levels of test could cause them too fuse then?

stunted growth is just one of many reasons not to juice at that age. The sad reality is that most your age don't realize that they have incredibly high natural testosterone levels at that age, and their lack of growth is not from a deficiency of testosterone , but rather from a drastically inadequate diet and/or training regimen.

I haven't grown for years either probably about 4 or 5 now. The only reason I care is because I'm a shortass 5'5 but then so is all my family so I think I'm done growing unfortunately anyway. I just wondered because I thought steroids would make you taller if anything especially if you were doing hcg will cycling or in your pct.

hcg has nothing at all to do with height, it simply helps to prevent or reverse testicular atrophy.

I wasn't referring to you specifically, just the general group of younger males who do cycle at that age.

Your 100% right there big I've got 6'0 friends that weigh a stone or 2 less than me and want too go on steds lol. You would be right saying I don't need steroids at my age and I can admit to myself I don't because I've made huge gains in size and strength but the temptation to be even stronger and the ability to train harder is the only reason I'm even researching them now.

You are correct to research them, when you feel you are ready you will be much better prepared.

I've had a look in the pictures and cycle results section and It makes me laugh some of the kids that are doing cycles. No idea even how to train or diet properly and there already on steds lol if I was an experienced user I'd flame the hell out of some of them.
