Newbie needs help

[nerja]

Hey guys, I'm considering starting taking steroids but I have a couple of questions before I do.

Brief history:
I've been training at the gym for about 3-4 years. 2 of those have been quite serious. I'm now 22 years old. (If i'm missing something please ask)

As I said I have some questions, and you guys probably get this alot.

First of all, if I'm on a cycle for 8-12 weeks and stop after that. Do i lose all my progress? Is there any way to keep the results without going on having to take steroids all my life?

Secondly, I'm a guy who is looking forward to having kids on day. I know that there is a risk of becoming sterile while using steroids, which worries me alot. So far I've heard that you dont get permanently sterile, that once you stop your production will go back to normal. Does anyone have some kind of study or at least a concrete answer to this? And also which steroids are most likely to cause one to becoming sterile?

Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the boards.

Tell us a bit more about your stats
weight
height
bf

Begin reading all the educational threads along with the rest of the stickies. Sterility should not be an issue especially with short-term use.

Everyone is different so no one here could tell you what might happen to your organism by using aas. We can only rely on statistics before commencing any cycle and on our own experience after the cycle is complete.

Said that, this is a right place where to find a lot of information to study so I would advise you to look around...

Furthermore, at your age I would not cycle simply because, probably, your HPTA is not fully developed yet. You may experience now or in the future health issues which you are unaware of.

Wait a few more years and try, with a proper diet and training regime, to reach your potential naturally.

Thanks for your quick responses. Especially BJJ, I will probably follow your advice.

However it doesnt prevent me from gathering information, and I've been studying the site for a while now. And I can't seem to get these answers, which is why I turned to the forum.

I'm currently 173 cm, 71kgs and I have an (estimated) 14% bf.

First of all, if I'm on a cycle for 8-12 weeks and stop after that. Do i lose all my progress? it depends from the type of cycle, your diet, your training regime... it is wise to say however you will lose a bit anyway, even if you know what you are doing and have a great genetic response from aas Is there any way to keep the results without going on having to take steroids all my life? sure, you need to know what you are doing lol. in any case, if you run only one cycle i believe it will be hard to retain most of it forever.

Secondly, I'm a guy who is looking forward to having kids on day. I know that there is a risk of becoming sterile while using steroids, which worries me alot. So far I've heard that you dont get permanently sterile, that once you stop your production will go back to normal. Does anyone have some kind of study or at least a concrete answer to this? as already said before, nobody can answer this question but you after having tried. we are all different... though, the majority of the people, at least for what i know and in the immediate future, recover. And also which steroids are most likely to cause one to becoming sterile? he he he, you need to study lol

now you got your answers
