When is it ok for me to start?

[kommakazi06]

I've been really dedicated to bodybuilding the past 4 months ,
i'm 20,5'8,started out weighing 145lbs,now i'm at 170lbs.
3 protein shakes a day,a good diet,and ultra mass stack by aps.

A few of my coworkers started juicing up and they've almost doubled my gains in strength and muscle.
So now i've been doing some research on juice and weighing out pros and cons. I'm just wanting to bulk up at the moment.

I mostly hear that you should work out a couple years prior to doing any anabolics,and that you should be atleast 21,25 at best.
at what point will i be ready?

Any advice?

IMO, your still too young. I don't think you need 3 protein shakes a day, and what does your diet look like in detail? Once your diet and training are set up, and you have been running this for a while (in your case, I would say another 3 or 4 years), then you can consider AAS.

By the way, what is your BF% ?
What is your PCT knowledge?

yeh bro, 3 protein shakes a day is too much! If you can not get the calories then you need to switch to 1 protein shake and the other 2 should be some type of whole food meal Replacement drink

20 is still too young, wait another 4 years

4 months is NOTHING when it comes to BUILDING your body....this is a marathon , not a sprint

you need to eat SOLID foods, not shakes

Learn to eat, go to diet section here
Learn to workout correctly and give it YEARS of solid training

Everything here, pretty much has been said

Other than that, too early to start. Hit a plateau in a few years
and then start, you should at least be on a diet for a year or more
and be able to maintain the lifestyle of bodybuilding as well as the
intense training that comes in-to play. 4 months isn't very long to
be honest any way! It's great that you're lasting this long, but you
need to last longer than that!

Go to the diet section, have some people help you. Check out any
information that can help you, and learn more. Dieting is what it all
comes down to.

Having a cycle will affect your for the rest of your life. You will not die of course but will set a low endogenous testosterone production for your entire life. Usually persons that start that young will continue having many cycles during their 20's and most likely will quit this sport. Better waiting few more years.
