How old were you when you started steroids

[Junk bomb]

Just was curious into how old you were for you first aas cycle, whether good or bad, gains side effects etc.

Did anyone regret their first cycle or did they love it?

Please share you experiences

[CanYouDigIt]

I've seen plenty of people who started in there early teens and are regretting it nowadays, like i'd say 80% of them, most of them can't get a hard on now, or there joints are all messed up or there un-even or something stupid, and they said if they could have done it again, they woulda waited.

I started 24 I think, almost 25..

best gains of my life went from 180 to like 225-230, I scared my whole familly when I came back home and I looked like a tank most of them didn't recognize me,

I was 21 when i did my first test cyp cycle, i blew up like a water balloon. No proper muscle definition, just all water retention.

I copped acne very mildly on my chest and back only bad side i can remember tbh. On the plus side i did put on at least 10kg.

I do not regret it one bit, although i do regret my 2nd cycle which in incorporated tren i should of waited much longer until i had more experience under my belt with cycling. Never felt the same when i came off, was difficult to keep myself hard as rock, psychologically i was not myself. Little depressed at times, very hormonal, i believe i did some damage from this cycle.

Clearly why we are on the forum to advise people in the right direction, and to learn from members mistake, and to take in all the knowledge we can to do it the right way and not the wrong.

I was 36 when I did my first cycle after training 6 years consistently all natty...(this dose not include my high school and post school years of on and off training just the years when I decided this was the lifestyle for me and got serious with diet and training)

[OnTheSauce]

23, almost 24. Wish I would've waited since I was still progressing very well natty

[bdos]

I was 21 500mg test e for 12 weeks with a 12kg gain mild acne other than that it all went well that said would have/ should have waited from what i know now

[AK1983]

[diesel101]

[J DIESEL3]

23 and then waited 15 years and was on trt

[ChiveOn]

I'm finishing my first cycle now and i just turned 23. I just did sus250 pinning 1ml E3D for 12 weeks. Personally, I loved it the only difference I woulda made was coming here before taking bro advice from a friend who had never cycled. We hadn't planned an AI or HCG haha. Thank god for this site

Gained 22lbs b/f is up but it can still see top few and so it didn't add that much. TERRIBLE acne though. I always had it bad but accurate cleared it for years until now. I'm covered all shoulders halfway down back and onto my chest :/

[senorrebo]

I started when I was 42 and wasn't getting the same results I was getting in my 30s.

[MuttonChop]

Did my first cycle at 20. Plain 500mg/wk Test E for 12 weeks.

I bulked up waaay too much...didn't look good at the end but I needed the size for football.

Things I realized from first cycle:

-People were right...these drugs are not magical.
-Recovery isn't as improved on cycle as I thought...very easy to get injured
-Difficult to keep doses low after getting a taste of high doses
-Priorities in life can change very quickly
-Don't go overboard with AI and HCG
-Have a girlfriend while on cycle
-Increased aggression is amazing when trying to squat 400 lbs

P.S - This should be in Lounge

This belongs in the lounge........ but since its here

I was 19 (thats 31 years ago when Moses was a small child) Had been at the local gym training for about a year. Got some good natural gains, and then I hit "The Wall"
Didnt know enough then to eat right and train myself to get over "The Wall" so I listened to some douch bag drug dealer at the gym, that said Hey !! take this little blue pills, two every day (Dbol ) So I decided, what the heck, This guy was huge, and one of the strongest in the gym, so he must know what he's doing, right? WRONG !!!

Made great gains, Blowed up like a watermellon, and could pick up a house. of course, i lost it all a year later and was back to square one.

Of course PCT was unheard of back then.............

So Im not going to bore you with the many,many years of depression, 2 failed marriages, endless job changes, all due to being stuiped.

Then, 4 years ago, I find TRT..........Life is sooooooo much better, but now I get to punch a hole in my ass once a week for the rest of my life...... JOY!!!!


I read, I advise, but I know in the end, you young guys will do what you want to............... Just dont ask me how to load the gun, or teach you to shoot it, until you at least 26, trained for 4 or more years and know how to eat....

I am guessing you did a lot of cycles without PCT?

And you think the depression was due to low Test levels?

I feel like a lot of naturals also have low test "naturally" but they never get their levels checked and they also haven't heard of TRT.

[Papa Smurf]

And you think the depression was due to low Test levels?Yes

I would say so

[GymHero]

I see a thread like this everyday multiple times.. Lets just make a damn sticky on when we started aas lol

[sixfootseven]

Plan on it this year. 26.

[kawika]

I started when I was 22. Ran test e 500mg/week for 12 weeks. Had great gains but also put on a ton out water weight. The only regret I have is not finding this place sooner. Could maximized my gains and been able to get real advice, not just bro science

[belva]

I was 25, I read some books, thought I knew everything, try them on and I lost most of my gains after...I was still lucky with the side effect but I litterally I thrown away plenty of money away.

but if a person wait till 26 he wont have time to turn pro by 30....
maybe at 24 yes ( 6 years is long time )
my goal is to become pro.... even if it leads to trt at 28 years old or so ,,,

If there is one truth out there, it is that priorities change. If all things workout, you might be able to live with TRT in exchange for a few titles. But for all you know, you might get injured and not be able to compete. Will TRT be worth it then? Or what if you knock a chick up and realize competing won't provide you with the cash you need...or that you don't have money for food...will TRT be worth it then?

I know several people firsthand who went through clinical depression (unrelated to cycle usage) that completely changed their viewpoint. Bodybuilding wasn't as important anymore...good health to travel, play with their kids, etc became new priorities. They then wished they hadn't fvcked with their bodies...

[swm1972]

35. And I has been on HRT for over a year at the time.

[FONZY007]

I was 20 years old DONT regret even though it was just deca . Lol

Did a few more cycles by 25 than at 26 was put on trt.

I never had a problem with hard ons never, even when my test level was at 67ng/ml

[blacktoppete]

16 yrs old took my first dianabol which was 30yrs ago. Between 16 and 20 i ran many cycles consisting of Dianabol,Anadrol ,Parabolin,Test,Halotestin ,Finajet ,German inj D-bol and Deca . No where near the mgs used today but i did it. Never heard Ai's or Hcg back then. There weren't many supps back then Believe i was takin animal packs and weider protein powder with lots of milk. Would i do it it again sad to say i probably would. Did it **** me up not really sure. I have 5 children and at the age of 40 started Trt for life.

[thai007goy]

I am planning first my cycle now. April 2013! I'm 28 now. but I have been reading this site off and on since I was 23.

[The Bear 79]

26 but I wish I would have waited to see how far I could go naturally. I weighed 204 lbs when I started but I think I could have reached 250 naturally.
