You're just beginning and not close to your prime yet. I'm going to suggest you have fun using your natural testosterone to it's max while you have it. What i'd give to be in your shoes! Go to the workout and diet forums here as they will help you tremendously.
You won't get any help from members as far as you using AAS. You would be taking a HUGE chance in messing yourself up for the rest of your life and it simply isn't worth it. Especially when you can do so much on your own with a good diet and training regimen. no harm in researching though and i suggest you do in your spare time. Read everything here and when you think you might be ready you'll have enough background to make a sound decision. But for now, eat right and hit the gym. AAS isn't going anywhere. Take your time. You only have one body, take care of it.
Good luck.

Your hormone levels stop fluctuating significantly at age 25. Any cycle before this age you severely put yourself at risk of permanently damaging your body for the rest of your life. If you have a good diet then you wouldn't be 170 lbs. No offense, but 99% of the new people that come here (especially the younger guys) do not have a good diet, even though they think they do. You need to focus strictly on dieting and training right now and keep supplementation low (Whey Protein & Creatine only in my opinion). I would highly advocate posting your current diet in the section section so it can be improved upon.

Secondly, training on/off for 2 years is not even close to enough time. Many people require 3-5 years of serious training without breaks. This is because you need to develop your tendons and ligaments (The tissues in your body that connect muscle to bone and bone to bone). Every time you go to the gym and lift heavier weights your tissues tear and regrow slightly stronger, so next week you can handle the weight even better. When someone takes steroids their muscles grow significantly faster, but it is not possible to speed up the growth / resistivity of tendons & ligaments (besides HGH, but that's a different story). When you start juicing your ego is going to take over (Don't tell me it won't - your not the exception) and all of a sudden another 40 lbs on Bench Press seems like it will be no problem. That's until you tear your rotator cuff cause your tendons & ligaments are not use to so much extra weight so quickly. And just an FYI - that kind of injury can take up to a year to fix, if not longer.

Short Answer: Your too young, inexperienced (Both for dieting and training), and not educated enough to be using anabolic compounds. Fix your diet and you will continue to grow naturally.

Gonna be the same everywhere brother. Too young by far. And 170 at your height is kinda light. Best to eat some sandwiches and pound some weight for another 5yrs or so. Sucks I know. But I'm am old head. Believe me, the time will fly by.
