What led to your first cycle and how old were you when you started?

Curious as to how it all started for you guys. Not asking for specific details just kind of what led you to becoming interested in anabolics.

I was 24 and trained with competitive bodybuilders. One of my training partners was 3rd in Mr Britain tall class. All that said, vanity won the day...

[tectime]

I'm sure it was the evil sin of vanity. I never really cycled till I turned 48. (Didn't want to **** up my nat. abilities hahaha!) finally got to where I had/have time to spend in the gym and live to healthy lifestyle you should when doing steroids.

Thanks for answers so far. Appreciate all input

Meet someone who did and wanted to get bigger. Do I regret it, no. Do I wish I knew what I know now on how to do it, yes, but that was a long time ago.

I had been training for a long time and I was completely stuck at 185 for YEARS.... Out of curiousity I did an online search regarding steroids and I found this forum. I was 33 years old and I spent the next few months researching and asking questions here so I did it. I swore I wouldn't do it again after I did my first cycle because I got obsessed with the scale and ballooned up about 30lbs. However, I looked like crap because I gained a ton of fat. I didn't cycle after that until I was 37 when I started TRT.

Started at 24 because Ive been into serious lifting for awhile but my time got controlled by a bitch I was with for 2-3 years and then she cheated on me for a guy who didn't lift at all which highly pissed me off more than anything else ever has as I take loyalty to be very important ( he claimed he did lift but his diet is terrible so lifting will never do anything for him ) but he was just cut and skronny. Needless to say, after my first cycle she came crawling back after seeing how much of a monster I can be without her and get hotter women. Do I regret cycling? Hell no. It made me realize what's worth my time and what isn't.

I was 19 and mad at the world........

Started at 29, couldn't gain weight no matter how hard I tried, I was stuck at 212. Had some guys in the gym I knew that were into it and I started doing test and deca. Did a blast cruise for 8 months at relatively low doses most of the time and went from 212 7-8% to 260 10%. Then I got caught up in the party scene and pretty much stopped working out for a year or so. Luckily I ate properly and the weight I gained pretty much stuck, my whole frame grew. It's all about the diet, the juice is just another supplement in the grand scheme of things, but should be used properly.

Swoleroid: I like the attention I get from making gains in bodybuilding, but I learned early on that I love it for what it does for me and not for others, especially women, who do stupid shit like that girl of yours. Word man, always do it for you. Thanks for your response.

Interesting thread! I had just turned 25, been lifting for 7 or 8 years and was in great shape naturally. I had been researching it for years and was pretty much ready, ironically I had some pharma grade gear pretty much dropped in my lap so I decided that was a "sign". Haven't looked back since.

[Deal Me In]

I was 30 and playing semi pro sports. I started as a way to keep up with younger kids coming up and a desire to make it as full time pro. Did very low dose test cycles for several years until I retired. Then started getting into the vanity aspect of it.

For me, it was the right decision at the time as it prolonged my career. I believe it's still the right choice at 41.
