Hey Guys and Gals.
Name is Justin, I am 21, 5'11", 183.6 pounds with (last i checked.. was a few months ago) 13%bf.
I have been interested in physiology since i was little and especially liked to focus on growth/hormones and weight lifting and its affects on the body. that being said after i found out about steroids i was immediatley turned on. as a person i am fairly straightforward and especially after reading the "warning" post will be as truthful as possible. lol
my diet is pretty solid, especialy during the summer months. it becomes more sporadic in the winter time because of college.
my training is also very solid, i realise this is neither a training nor diet thread so i will not go into detail, just wanted to let you know that i take my training seriously, and need to work on my diet during the winter months.. as a student mcdonalds is very tempting at times. lol. that being said i am not eating horribly, still eat alot of complex carbs/sugars (no candies etc.) alot of meat, stay away from empty calories... only fast food is eaten a little more than it is during the summer.
as i said i have been interested in this for a long time and have found many of my anwers on this forum or others like it, such as differences between different AAS, how to inject, how AAS interact with my body, how important PCT is etc,etc. however there are three questions i have not been able to find definitive answers for.
1) Age for first cycle.
- the general majority suggest 21, for various reasons..in summary you have stoped growing. after reading Marcus300`s post on this very subject i am not as sure any more, theoretically i have my answer, 24-25 is optimal, however i was wondering if anyone has had any PERSONAL experience at starting a cycle at my age (i will be 22 as of April) and if they were more prone to negative affects then they are now?
2) obtaining AAS in Canada.
- first off NO i am not asking for names, references, labs etc. so scammers can bugger off. i am just asking a straight yes or no question as to if i can get steroids in Canada, or if i have to go overseas/cross the border to obtain gear. this has been a very difficult question for me because of all the scammers, i dont trust the internet and at the gym as soon as this subject is brought up everyone shys away. i am hoping this forum and its members can give me a straight yes or no.
and lastly my biggest concern
3) type 1 (insulin dependant) diabetes and AAS
- i have been a type 1 diabetic since i was 7 years old, used to take injections 4-5 times daily and now am on a pump. i have found many different opinions. some say no you cannot use when you are diabetic, others say it only matters when taking a gainer (such as Dbol because ure food intake is greatly increased). others focus on type 2 diabetics and have little information on type 1. any opinions/experiences?
i would like to personally thank everyone for taking the time to read this and give feedback, i have searched many forums and this one seems to have the most information and most knowledgeable members.
Thanks again
cheers.
Justin.
