What age did you guys start?

[bigfrench]

you may not have the probs i had with recovery, its the fact that your system isnt fully developed yet thats the difference.

first two cycles were stupid and ill informed with no pct (dbol only and deca only). the rest were done properly with proper hcg and pct protocol. over the last 4 i recovered less and less, i ended up weaker than i was when natural, was depressed, lost size, no libido no appetite, didnt want to train and eventually didnt even want to get out of bed!!!
can you imagine feeling like that at your age, when you should be laying down foundation for your working life and be out humping like a mad dog?

could have been those first two cycles or it was going to happen no matter what, but strangely enough i didnt have any bad symptoms after those first two cycles.

if i'd of known about this place and read about what can actually go wrong id of stayed away. i knew nothing about system shut down

imagining those symptoms in my life is extremely scary ill be honest. what might you suggest to me at 19; do it right or dont do it at all?

but he said he experienced hpta problems even waiting until hes 31 to start aas? i understand it isnt safe to start at my age, but i also understand that the whole idea of supra physical amounts of endogenous hormones isnt safe at any age

There r "unlucky" cases where despite all the precautions, u still get fvcked. However, there is a significantly greater risk of damage 2 ur Endocrine / HPTA when u cycle too yung.

any amount of synthetic test can cut it off mate, once detected the body can switch its own system off.

there are freaks, i know one guy that eats shit, only trains when he's on something, does mainly deca and dbol only and looks like a ripped Olympian!! worth noting he has that lucky 'natural athlete' genetic make up, the jammy bast@rd!!! but hes the only one like this ive met in all my 20yrs training and 5yrs working in a gym, point being ppl like that are far and few between

id say def dont do it 19 and wait until you have been training consistently for 6yrs. you might even think in afew years time, 'fvck this gym caper' and find a diff interest.

it'll be up to you mate, i cant say dont do it even beyond 25, that would make me a hypocrite and dont forget, im already an asshole, a dick and a cvnt !!!

the point is that those things CAN happen and have happened to alot of ppl on here also

i think ill hold off then. on a somewhat related note, you said you made gains even into your late twenties. if you could give people only a few pieces of advice as to making gains in a similar fashion, what would they be?

yep right up until i was 31 and prob could of continued to.

be hard for me to answer that as i was in the strength game and was just concerned with upping my lifts rather than getting big. your best getting a body building perspective. the basics would be, a sound diet, worthwhile supps, correct exercise choice and execution, periodised routines, adequate rest and dont over train on sessions or periods of training.

iirc fireguy on here trained naturally for along time aswell, he'd give a good natty bb'ing view

[hsvcraig]

I've done a few at a young age but never continued after, just stupidly did a cycle n stopped training afterwards. My youngest was 19, dnt know if it's related but I think it is as the timing was spot on but for me getting hard ons were never the same again, Viagra at 20 yrs old makes ya feel a feel a bit low, good shit but. Something the younger guys might want to read, for me it wasn't worth it. I'm 26 now so I'm assuming the damage is done so i dnt feel so bad doing another cycle. My pct wasn't perfect but not that bad. Goodluck buddy

[bigfrench]

thanks for everyones input, i think ill hold off for a little

[justin88]

what is your job?

[Times Roman]

1ST real cycle = 48
ran andro for 4 years starting at the age of 35. even though not aas in the traditional sense, still had a lot of kick, and to run it straight for 4 years was a mistake. I know it now, didn't know it then.

[Times Roman]

age 32.

I say mate. It's been over 6 months since you last gave us a taste of the lady in your avi.

It's probably time we get another look see? =)

[westdwatts]

I started at 33 after years of research

[shennen]

On my 25th birthday I bought myself my first cycle

[DrHealth]

what is your job?

I've retired from Track and Field. I also spent "some" time in the NFL. I'm an Naturopathic Physician. I meant to say I needed it to keep my career in pro sports. When they changed the testing to BLOOD, Pretty much it was time to hang it up. A sprinters shelf life is about 9 years after they hit 21. Things start to decline from there unless you're on something new and improved.

[redz]

23 for me, I've been off the last year or so and no problems so far but I`m only 28.

[denverpride]

You are arrogant, ignorant and irresponsible. Leave this forum and stop ABUSING steroids .

I was 24 and about to turn 25 in 2 months when I first started.
