first time for me was at the age of 30...I pretty much had reached my full max potential..h

[smalltime7]

i went a bit early @ 25 y/o and 2 years training (I wouldnt suggest this) I could have had more natural time first.

[tallguy21]

goodstuff....thanks for the responses.

32 years old and the only reason I tried it was because I had low test levels and was spinning my wheels eating my self sick. Lifting on and off for around 20 years.

20th bday, coulda waited but you couldnt have told me that at 20

My first cycle was at 23 and I regret not waiting longer. It wasn't until after my first cycle that I REALLY learned how to eat rite. And eating rite is all a younger man needs to grow. That and proper training of course.

I waited till 55 ( do I have the record?) and like bighigg it was not till after the cycle, thanks to this website, that I learned how to eat right. And eating right is all an older man needs to shed fat and grow. Although I can't wait till the last week of November to start my next cycle...

Was at 18, didnt relise how much danger i put myself in with lack of knowledge. Will be a while before i jump back in the deep end again.

I think I was 22 (38 now). Looking back I didn't know squat about cycles when I was 22. I wish sites like this were around then.

[tallguy21]

cool....I'm thinking about it at 26, not sure what i'm going to do yet...still learning

[stpete]

My first cycle was at the age of 28.
I felt i was just spinning my wheels although i was still in good health, but just couldn't make goals that i had set for myself.
Training since age of 14. Had to if i wanted to play football and baseball....This was dictated by my High School.

I just injected my first Test C
38 years old
was gonna do orals only for my first but asked here and decided against it, kept reading here and decided to do Test only as my first cycle.
Been working out with weights for many years and diet has always been good (not great) been stuck at 180-190 lbs and 12-14% BF for two years, goal is to get over 200 with less than 10% BF

[kelevra]

1st cycle age 34
Training 15+ years
Would have at 28 if I had the knowledge and money. Well at least the money.
I’m glad I didn’t. At that time there was no such thing as to big. I made it to 275 naturally and squatted, benched, and dead lifted 315 for reps easily. However I still felt tiny most of the time and knew in my mind that I was not responsible enough to take drugs. So I never even touch a pro hormones.

20, stupid age to start but cant fix the past.
