This was posted by The Titan99 in another thread with a 21 year old asking about his bad gains on a Test cycle. I think this is one of the most fabulous answers ever given because there is no bullshit about age. His post will follow after my little rant.
A lot of young people come on here and ask about roids. Most of the vets will give them a crappy answer with regards to age. But this doesn't stop most people. Because there is no strong evidence outside the growing age that steroids cause MORE damage to a 21 year old THAN to a 25 year old.
But!!!! Being 25 years old DOES put you in a better position to take AAS. I know personally that I have matured more every single year, but people try to make generalizations. There ARE people who are 21 who can run a cycle as well as a 50 year old vet. What matters the most is getting the full benefit out of AAS through proper training, diet, and a understanding of one's body. A 21 year old could very well have all this down pact. Therefore, when a 21 year old posts asking for cycle advice, the following post by The Titan99 makes for a much better argument:
"See, what Marcus is saying is whatever happens while your on cycle, it will evaporate immediately when you stop the steroids because you never learned how to eat first. That diet cannot support ANY new tissue growth, so all your left with is all the potential drawbacks and none of the benefits. It's like being shot dead in an ill-conceived bank robbery. It doesn't matter how much money you have in the bag, it's over before you started. The idea is to get some sort of lasting benefit. That's the pay off for the risk. Your deal right now is all risk and ZERO benefit.
Here's the good news though. Since you don't know how to eat, once you figure that out you'll grow like a weed!!! All the benefit with none of the risk!!! How's that for the up side? Then, after you've made huge progress, about a year or 2 from now you might consider trying the AAS and then you have even MORE success!!! Your in a very nice position to reach your goals as long as you don't fvck yourself by putting the cart before the horse...
TO THE DIET SECTION!!!!!"
Thanks a lot for that good post bro.
