Ok so im new to the forum and would really appreciate some information on some issues which have been bothering me for a while.
Firstly, im not an idiot im actually pretty well educated on steroids and know that it is a higher risk for taking steroids at a young age, e.g HPTA shut down. I've researched and found that the majority of people who take steroids and take part in a succesfull PCT programme usually recover the natural HPTA, what im wondering is what the rough % of the people who actually near or fully 100% recover, obviously everybody is different just wondering how many actual cases there are where a person around my age takes all the nessecary measures to ensure recovery but still ends up really messing up their system compared to succesful cycles.
So a bit of information about myself.. I've been training since i turned 16, I was a pretty skinny guy at just 125 lbs and 5"9/10. I managed to bulk up quite a lot with a very good diet (which i maintain to this day) and got myself to around 160 now with similar body fat (around 7%) at 5" 10.5. The first few years i piled on the weight but the last year i only added like 3-4 lbs (drinking like once every 2 weeks) which is ok but I'm looking to gain another 20 lbs or so and don't fancy waiting like 5 years to do so, because my lifestyle im a student so drink quite a bit (2-3 times a week can happen often) but the drinking only seems to affect how much I am adding and i never lose muscle mass i just maintain, add very little so am pretty confident that if i add say 15-20 lbs from an 8 week cycle for example (I will not drink at all in this time)that i will manage to maintain the majority of it so that i do not need to do another cycle till at least 23-25.
So yeah basically I am kinda a risk-taker in life and lets say theres a very good chance that i fully/mostly recover hpta wise I'm probably willing to take the risk and run with it as the pros are kinda balancing the cons in the mind atm. So cut a long story short i'd like to know a rough guess at what the chances are that my hpta levels will be messed up for life resulting in TRT etc. I don't want posts saying to work out and eat well because i have loads of nat test running around my system at my age anyway but I'm already doing this now apart from the going out drinking etc. but im not prepared to sacrifice fun while im so young to compensate, i like to balance the two. I would rather skip the 4-5 years wait and enjoy the benefits for longer in my prime.
Cheers guys would really appreciate any feedback
