is it too late?

**loach** · 09-18-2009, 11:20 PM

ok so here is a question. All these pro bodybuilders if you look at pictures of them they have been huge since the time they were 16. so my question is do you think it is way to late to start bodybuilding at the age of 25? I have been lifting hard for about 6+ years now but my diet was not always in check. However I am currently 5ft 6in 175lbs @6.6% bf, I have been researching using steroids on and off for about 5 of those years and I feel like it is time. So I guess my question is would it be possible through the use of steroids to reach the goal of becoming a ifbb pro boudybuilder? Some times I feel like I am way too old, but on the other hand it has all ways been a dream of mine. Just let me know what you think.

I doubt your at 6.6%BF - how did you get this figure? It's very hard to stay below 7% body fat for any period of time.

It's never too late to start properly dieting and training. 25 is not old and it's definitely the youngest age that AAS usage should be used.

Please post your diet in the diet forum and get that down perfectly.

yea i am at 6.6%, the trainer i work with used the 7 point skin fold, the question was not really about diet that is in check. i watch my macro's real close and that is how i can stay at that level. so the diet and my training are in order, the question was more about aas and bodybuilding

What is your question? You asked if 25 is too old and I said no - it's the youngest AAS is recommended at. I see no other questions.

If you have the ability to sit sub 8% at all times, then you are AHEAD of the game. BB'ing is not just about mass, a 300lb monster can walk on stage but without the right physique, he wont win shit. You dont have to compete in heavyweight either. If this is your dream, go for it. I ma take a run at the 2010 local contest schedule and Im 30, never competed before.
