Would you jump in the ocean and THEN try to swim or would you learn to swim before jumping into the ocean? Hopefully the answer is obvious. Then why would you cycle without knowing the risks and dangers first?
This is one of many reasons we suggest guys under 25 wait to cycle and spend time allowing their natural levels to continue maturing, learn to develop a proper muscle-supporting nutrition plan, train hard, and learn about steroid cycles and risks. Don't get me wrong. It's not just the young guys who jump into this without doing their "homework" - plenty of older guys make the same mistake but at least their hormonal systems have finished developing.
As for long term side effects, there are many, any of which could effect you and may take years to appear even though none may have emerged yet. Possible long term effects include:
- reduced sex drive
- erectile dysfunction
- depression
- anxiety
- suppressed testosterone (and hence permanent need for TRT)
- cardiac damage/changes
.........and many more
