18 Years old, Test prop and Equip

[KayZE]

I know this might have been posted a few times but I cant seem to find out where the threads are, I would like to kindly ask from anyone's experience.
Doing 2 mL test Prop and 1 ml Equip per week for an 8 week cycle, how high are the risks of side effects for long term and even short term. I am healthy, tall about 5'11, and have never done alchohol or drugs in my life.

The people I have talked too say that its "low dosage" so it wont affect you, in the long run. But really I wanted to ask people here on the forum to get a decent oppinion.

U know wut else has been posted here a few times? Threads about people under the age of 25 being 2 yung 2 do steroids. Use the search function 2 find them, you'll learn a lot about ur 18 y/o body, & y its not ready 4 roids. Wut r the rest of ur stats BTW (weight? BF%?)

Sorry bro but the only info you are going to get is read the young and steroids.

[Lemonada8]

doses are measured in mg not ml. so 2 ml is ???? much.

too young brah. the low dose thing is BS, any dose that will be effective will shut down HPTA function and at your age doing that is bad. btw, your teenage test levels are about equivalent to a 30 year old on a low dose of test, so why dont you just lift heavy and eat, and you'll get swole.

^^ good advice

The people you have talked to are either very stupid or lying to sell you products, either way dont listin to them.

PS any usage of AAS at 18 would be major mistake with possible lifelong consequences.

Dude the first person to approach you about steroids at the gym is the first person to stay away from, especially if your 18. You don't want to live with those consequences because of actions you made at 18. I'm now in my late twenties and I regret everyday the fact that I was suckered into buy steroids from one of the roidtards at my gym who preyed on the young and stupid. I would give anything to go back and have my brother beat his head with a rock. He didn't give a **** about me or the life long damage he would cause and neither does your guy, they want your money and for you to be on hrt like he does because he was idiot and got trapped in it so now he thinks its what everyone should do. "its so cool I can go to a doctors and get legal steroids bro! let's hi five and get our muscle milk and stroll out the gym like we are giants though we didn't even lift one weight" those guys are tools and eventually karma will drop that 135lb bar of brovelocity right on their neck.

AGE
In humans your Endocrine system is not fully functional until an average age of 25yrs, although the main development is up to around 21yrs it still fluctuates a little bit up to its fully functional age. There is a risk of permanently damaging your HPTA if you take AAS to young and you could end up with symptoms of andropause and HRT for life. Symptoms could be Limp dick, low libido, depression, low energy, low endurance, erection problems and many more but.......are these the types of symptoms you want to have in your 20's?. Believe me its hard to cope with these in your 40's yet alone in your prime of your life.

Around this age your Testosterone levels are the highest they going to be in your life naturally, so use what you have and don't take the risk of damage, I am passionate about this because ive seen it many times with young kids wanting to looking like their heroes and they think the answer is in an injection/tablet.

Taking AAS to young can also cause problems with development, one other main problem is premature sealing of your epiphyeal bone and the consequences mean that you wont grow as big as your genetics could allow you to, there is a test which can be done to see if your growth plates have sealed yet but the average age is around 21yrs old.



TRAINING
You need a few years of hard training under your belt before even considering taking any kind of anabolic support, people who jump on a cycle to soon without having some quality years under their belt usually results in injuries, it takes time to develop your connective tissue, tendons and nervous system to heavy overload training. Slowly getting your own system use to these kinds of extreme's will only help in muscle growth later on when you do decide to start taking AAS.

Build a solid foundation for muscle tissue to grow and maintaining and development will be far greater than without it. Many younger guys will start cycling before they have reached their genetic potential which is crazy when a good solid diet and training program will be far beneficial and productive to muscle building.

Workouts should be mainly focused on basic movements with a priority of over loading the muscle each and ever time you train, increasing your strength and ability to lift in proper form will help with building the foundation for future development


DIET
A lot of younger bodybuilders don't know how to eat. Researching and understanding how your own body responds will help you get to your natural limit, the right food at the right time and a full understanding of proteins,carbs, and fats will only help you succeed in achieving your natural goals. Keeping a diet diary will also help you understand the importance of macro, nutrients, calories and should help you see in which areas you could be going wrong in adding lean muscle tissue.

No matter how much anabolic support you have it will be worthless without proper nutrition, food will help build and maintain your valued muscle weather its natural, cycling or in PCT. Adjusting your food intake and consuming muscle building foods coupled with a solid training program will help you achieve your natural limit and foundation before you start AAS use.

This area is a huge problem with the younger guys and I can't express enough how important diet/food is when first starting out, post and pre training nutrition are very important and understanding how to load and feed the body will help push growth and create a very natural anabolic environment

Hopefully that is true but if you need some more convincing here is another 18yr old who used and there are numerous stories similar to this. Also, I would say 1/1000 people or less who have problems actually say anything about it.
