**stephenschmidt1** · 04-25-2012, 06:13 PM

So my name is Stephen and im 23 from Baton Rouge LA. I did 4 years in the Army and now im persuing my degree at LSU majoring in Petro Engineering.
Ive mostly been into cardio all my life. I played soccer and boxed since i was 6. Pretty much got tired of being small and started lifting, so I only have about a year of hardcore lifting.
I started my first gear about 4 weeks ago and everything is going great.

Hey JustJoe, thanks for the advice buddy. I know alot of young people get mad when yall tell them things like that, but I love my body and try to take great care of it and i know yall are only trying to help.

I read a couple articles on HPTA, but was wondering if there were any exact ones you think I should read or pertain more specifically to younger males and the effects.

I would PM you, but i cant use that feature yet. If someone would PM him for me that would be sweet.

Thanks guys
