The youngs and steroids

[misterwazza]

Hi everyone, I'm 18 and I started to learn about steroids. And NO, I'm NOT planning to do a cycle anytime soon, I'm simply interested and I've made LOTS of research. I found out that taking test when you're young may make your body stop producing test naturaly later in your life, which can lead to symptoms like depression, erection problems etc etc...

But I've read that PCT is made to help you restart your naturel test production after a test cycle, so is it really so dangerous for young people (lets say around 20-21) to do beginner cycles such as Test E 500mg / week with a proper DIET and proper PCT?

Like I said, I do not plan on making a cycle as I know I'm waaayy too young and I know that a proper diet does miracles especially at my age, and even if I'm a hardgainer.

tl;dr My question is : What are the side effects that young people taking steroids may experiment other than the classic side effects that everyone has?

-Sorry for my english by the way

Edit : Btw, yes I've read the sticky ''the youngs and steroids'' but it didn't really help me to know what really are the side effects for young people

Thanks Lunk1! Lots of people of my age are going on steroids and getting amazing gains without side-effects such as acne and such and it's pretty hard to resist, but I'm pretty sure it'll catch them up later in life that's why I stay away from it

well your intelligence is above average then congrats

alot of the side effects can come a long time after you have finished your cycle, so people may not experience any while on cycle, but then years later they have all sorts of problems......

keep researching and educating yourself Mr wazza

your body needs to go through it's development stage uninterrupted while your hormonal system is still growing/maturing. Taking any steroid during this time will shut down your your natural testosterone production (you already know this) and put you at risk of not reaching your full potential. PCT does nothing during this period, since it is taken "post cycle"

Your hormonal system and the testosterone it produces is what makes you a man. Not allowing your body to reach it's full potential will obviously not kill you, but a very real possibility that some of your manly characteristics you ordinarily would have obtained will be impacted.

The thing that so many do not understand is that the HPTA system is often not fully developed till 25, and until the HPTA is fully developed its easier to damage it. When we use steroids in any substantial dose we shut down the bodies own production of testosterone and the longer and more fully it is shutdowm the harder it is to restart it. By using PCT we can help the body to recover quicker and often more completely than by just stopping the cycle. The problem is that most people do not get bloodwork done prior to thier first usage to establish a baseline, so they really have no idea if they are fully recovered other than how they feel, this often leads to only achieving partial recovery...which is not a major problem if you only do one cycle. But I don't know anyone who has ever done one cycle....so as time goes by the body suffers more and more damage.

As far as 23-24 year olds doing simple test cycles with proper PCT....I would not call it safe....its never safe. However its worlds better than doing the same thing at 18 or doing a Test and Tren cycle at the same age.

So the best advice is to wait till you are 25 get bloodwork to establish your baseline so you will be able to accurately gauge recovery. If this is not possible then try to do everything you can to minimize the number of shortcuts and your odds of damage will be MUCH less.

Lastly, you are in the right place...read read read and get all the information you can so that whatever decision you make will be an informed one.
