Please don't and tell them not to either. Minimum age should be 21 before you can consider these. You haven't even started to produce half of the testosterone levels you'll have by age 20 at your age. You can permanently mess your body's hormone levels and stunt your growth.

I know you'll make up your mind at some point and do them, just head my advice...wait until you're in your early 20's. Trust me

Your at the perfect age to start training though. Make sure your diet is good, stay away from fast foods. Train hard and you'll be suprised what your body can do at that age

No, you can start working out lightly in your early teens. 16 is when your body starts producing a good amount of testosterone which helps develope. Definitely start training now, read some of the training forums on here to learn good exercises and techniques. Diet forum to help with food intake, that's the single most important thing in gaining muscle.

By the way, 16 is too young for this board. You'll get suspended until you're 18 but you should still be able to look at the forums, just not post or participate. I just wanted to make sure you know not to use steroids until you are in your 20's

good luck man

not a problem, just trying to prevent you from making a very big mistake.

Just read the Diet and training forums like I said and you'll be impressed with your natural gains from age 16 through 20.
