I'm new here... Thoughts on 19 year old thinking about taking roids?

[JBrah]

Hi all..

This is my first post, so sorry if I sound like a fuking retard with some of the stuff I say and ask.

I have a few questions..

1. I'm 19, I have been training for about 1 year.. With proper diet for about 4 months. I have made some solid gains over the past year, and have built a good base. I eventually want to compete in big BB competition's.. Arnold is about my dream size. A lot of people tell me not to bother taking steroids now, as I'm too young and there would be no point.. but if I plan on taking them eventually in order to compete, would it really be that bad to start taking them now?

2. What threads should I read here? Just the stickies, or are there more worth reading?

3. I have a bit of acne on my back, that has slowly been clearing up over the past year.. will steroids make this worse?

4. What steroids would I need to take, and how expensive can it be a week?

Thanks guys!

Welcome man! You still have some solid gains to be made naturally with just nutrition. I wouldn't consider and steroids for a few years, could seriously rape your libido and or end up with some sexy A cup man titties.

If you were to start them now you would lose out on allot of your natural potential. There's a full section for nutrition and bulking diets, I'm sure someone will come by and toss some links your way.

thanks mate ^

What age do you suggest that I start if I want to?

I really want to compete in big comps when I'm more experienced.

most would agree that 25 yo is a good age to start.

^^^ that's thinking logically, most pro start young hell look at lee priest from when he was 12 and when he was 19. Now I no nothing about trying to go pro I'm currently focusing on my first comp! But I to do want to go far in this sport but what I learnt is to put it into perspective, You need a shit load of gear FOOD dedication a good trainer/mentor and it all cost money. But if you got all that cover then start using everything you can get your hands on now!

Just my thoughts......

Imo if the pros outweights the cons it's worth taking them but in your case only dieting properly for 4 month's I wouldn't think it would be good to take them now.

Most likely.

4. What steroids would I need to take, and how expensive can it be a week?
Look above most common beginner cycles, and discussing prices is not allowed on this board.

No worries man stick to your dreams and you'll do amazing. Best anabolic compound at your age is ambition, keep that going hard and you'll do amazing.

Good luck man!

The pros will never outweigh the cons at this age.

Bro you have only been lifting for 1 year.Even if you were older we would say give it a few more years.1 year really isnt much at all.Follow your dreams but be wise about it.

Compete natural for several years. A year is not a base 3-5 yrs is a base. You have so much natural test in you now let it do its thing.
Food is the most anabolic substance you need right now. Eat eat eat.
Go to the nutrition section and lay out what you wan to achieve and your current diet. They will put 10-20 lbs over the next year to two. Guranteed
Good luck stick with it . But do it right and safe.
