To young?

[Juice head 9]

I'm 22 and I got all my gear for my cycle of sus and deca but on a lot of the things I read everyone says u should b 25 to start and u will mess up ur hormones and all that. I just want to get the facts straight before I start

Yes sure. Your hpta system is not done maturing until 25. No it doesn't matter if you think your done with puberty or you have not grown for years. Nothing matters except your body and brain (the whole system) is not done developing and we advise ppl to wait. You have more of a chance at ending up on trt for life starting young also.

Props goes out to you for caring about your body enough to ask. A few less gains now can save u worlds of head ache later in.life

Those are two pretty serious compounds for a first cycle. Not the harshest, but it's generally best to run a simple testosterone ester for your first cycle to see how your body responds before using anything that is harsher.

With respect to age, yes, you will shut your natural testosterone production down anytime you use an exogenous (outside the body, such as a pill or injection) testosterone source. In younger guys, the endocrine system, regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HTPA) which controls many processes, including digestion, immunity/health, mood, emotions, sexuality, and energy storage and expenditure, is still maturing until approximately 25 years of age. Taking an exogenous compound (i.e. steroid) will shut the HTPA down since the steroid will down regulate (i.e. shut off) your natural testosterone production. Impairment of the HTPA before it completely develops could have long term effects and interrupt many of the processes the HTPA regulates under normal conditions.

There really are no hard and fast rules about who is susceptible and what the short and long term damage could be, but as a general rule, we often advise that any one under the age of 25 wait until they reach at least 25 before they consider taking substances that could otherwise have permanent, lasting effects (e.g. loss of sex drive, depression, erectile dysfunction, etc). With the right nutrition and weight training plans in place, you can maximize your growth through your natural testosterone production now, thereby leaving your normal proesses in tact to fully develop before undertaking a cycle.

I can see you got a good head on your shoulders by looking at the pros n cons.This is a big decision that could affect you for the rest of your life.So choose wisely.

Its nice to see you are weighing out your options and making a well informed , well educated decision. In my opinion its just not worth the risk of shutting down your hpta when it hasent even reached its full maturity. There are too many unknowns. Will it be permanently impaired? Will you never again produce the amount of testosterone you may have had you waited? Could you end up on TRT at an early age? Considering these possibilities it probably most prudent to wait and focus on diet training and rest. Not saying you dont already but we can ALL improve in some ways in those areas.
Best of luck.

Kudos to u! Check the expiry on that gear... It can sit for quite a while in a cool dark place like a closet or somewhere... Or send it to me! LoL

But seriously, you seem like the type of "under 25" we never have a chance to see aroun here... One with more brains than balls, which is a compliment, not and insult. If you train hard and eat right you could easily reach genetic max by 25 and be ready to gear up if you still want to.

Good luck

Well I would like to do this cycle but u think if I did one cycle it would **** me up that much

[ScotchGuard02]

The problem with AAS is you won't know you'll get messed up until you cycle and find out. Then it's too late. Don't open the Pandora's box. Give yourself a few more years of natural training.
