    Should i start a cycle at 20?

    So I've been thinking about doing a test e cycle. 250mg on mon and 250mg on thrusday for a duration of 14 weeks. I already know proper pct. But im just curious if yall think i have a good foundation to do a light test cycle? Pics are below. Also pls i dont need people saying dont do it bc im young. I know this cycle could mess me up since im still young. Becoming inferitle isnt a concern bc idc and the gym is the only thing i like in life. It helps me so much in life and i feel like im ready to start a cycle.

    Stats. 20 years old. 5 "11. 189 pounds. Been lifting for a year. Starting weight was around 150 pounds.

    Aside from 20. 40lbs in a year at that body fat and you still want to cycle? Was that not enough?

    Nope, your natural test is enough. You'll never make the gains you are getting from your natural test as when you are on a cycle. And if you cycle you'll risk screwing that natural test up.

    Haha im on mobile so i cant even see the picture. Funny enough i already know how to safely inject. I took a phlebotomist course in high school so i think i can handle needles. And overdosing on gear? Sorry but thats just plain stupid to say. Already did enough research, just wanted to see if I had a decent foundation in terms of muscle mass. Thanks for wasting my time.

    We explained to you before that you are too young and you only been lifting for a yr.Keep up the good work build a solid base for when you are 25 and in the long run you will be glad you waited.

    I wouldn't really consider TRT being under 25 but than again most people want a shortcut.

    I'd say build a base for a few years, get some training under your belt and look into running a cycle when you're a bit older

    I appreciate you actually being helpful. Most people just use insults when i ask these kinds of questions. This is a good informed response and i actually might reconsider going on test. Thanks for the help, cheers!

    Besides your age, if you only been lifting for a year, aas will not benefit you. You must reach your natural potential to benefit, as far as building muscle goes. Running a cycle now may give you some quick results, but they will go away quick. You will get no long term benefits from doing it now.

    Don't be ignorant, for $100 a month you can throw your little swimmers in the cryo-vac and have them years later in case you change your mind about kids

    Becoming infertile is far from being the only thing you gotta worry about

    That's my nephew on the right. He's also 20, maybe 21 now, and has never touched a needle. He squats well over 600lbs. You don't need aas at your age

    You are coming off pretty childish right now, reverse psychology?


    Also, you have some work to do and you have a long road to hit an impressive physique it doesn't come with only adding in some gear to the equation. You simply don't have enough experience in gear and in life yet to understand your question

    You don't just hop on 1-2 cycles a year for a summer body

    you have to build a strong base, understand nutrition and be dedicated to your training, your goals etc.. Revisit this option when you're over 23. I thought about the same things as you at 20, I moved on and eventually did start at 28 years old..

    One thing I disagree with some of the others here have said is about hitting your natural threshold, that almost never happens many, many people will never hit their natural limit since they don't train right, eat right, sleep/control their hormones etc..

    Test, and harder compounds isn't what you need at 20. You haven't grown up yet

    Seriously, you don't think he'd admit it to you if he was do you?

    Being infertile isn't a concern? The gym is the only thing you like? You need more hobbies and to actually think about this when you risk fucking yourself up forever. Possible depression, ed, it goes on and on. Or don't listen to anyone and come back in a few months when you lose all your gains after pct and ask us why you can't get a hard on. Only lifting a year??? Why even think about aas when you can make so much progress without it. A year is nothing in terms of lifting, most guys here lifted over 10 years before trying aas.

    I can assure you he's natural. I've been around users enough to know, I've watched him grow and progress over the years. He's never even drank alcohol, he works very hard. He won state wrestling in high school

    I do believe he would tell me, he knows I use and tells me I'm a idiot.

    From your stats and pic it seems like youve made HUGE progress in the last year. At your age your body is literally a super steroid itself. Juice isnt going to be worth the trouble at this stage. And you'll most likely get an injury and go backwards. We dont want to insult you or be rude, we've been in your shoes. You've come to the right place just wait and hangout on this board for another few years and it will be worth it.

    Yea, I did my first cycle around 20 years ago, 24. I wished I had a resource like this site back then. Didn't know shit bout pct, AI's and such. I got blood work when I was in my mid thirties and had very low t. That's why it's aggravating to here these youngsters not listen to our advice!

    Been there, done that! The "Underground Steroid Handbook" by Dan Duchaine was the only thing out back in my day. You were guessing most of the time though. Amounts used were like high end TRT is now.

    I'll take your advice my man. All I want in terms of muscle mass is no more then what zyzz had. I just wanna be asethetic. Hopefully this is something I can achieve in the near future naturally.
