To or not to?

Pretty generic thread I'm sure. Where to start? I've been training for a little over a year and have made great progress for the time given. I've considered AAS a time or 2 but always got away from it for several reasons. 1 being that I'm 23 years old, I've done tons of research and read all the horror stories about guys under 25. I'm curious to know, do these terrible things happen because of a hormone imbalance or is it simply that they didn't do their research? If I were to I would probably just do 10 weeks of test enanthate with all the proper PCT and such. Any thoughts? Like I said before I've made good progress there's just a muscle group or 2 I'm having trouble with and it's frustrating. Again, not really planning to, just a thought.

Forgot to mention that I would also get bloodwork done.

lol, I thought you did a ton of research!? What has your research told you about the concerns?

Either way, forget age for a minute... 1 year at the gym is not even remotely close to enough time. Took me several years just to figure out everything I was doing wrong.

I think you should spend lots of time in both the nutrition section and the training section. You'll be ready soon enough.

Spend the time up until 25 training hard and learning newer and better ways to train harder. Then you won't have to worry about the age difference anyway

Good advice. Thanks, I keep telling myself the same thing but you know, inner conflicts lol.

To keep it short i strongly agree with everyone else, forget age 1 year is not close to long off enough. Any steroid some magic trick going to give some amazing results without a sold base 1 year is a start not close to a solid base. It should be used a a final touch to help you push beyond your genetic potential. At only 1 year you havent even come close to Figuring out your genetic potential. Keep lifting and forget about this for a while. good luck
