I struggle to gain weight no matter how much i eat and i want to know if taking small amounts of steroids can help me gain weight? Ive read a lot of topics on here and they all suggest i shouldnt go near steroids at my age im 20 years old and weigh about 130lbs, 5'11 but nothing else seems to work.
Any feedback is welcome, Cheers

No offense, but at 130 lbs steroids should not be on your mind at all. Post your current meal plan in the diet section and go from there. Like most, myself in the past, you probably think you are eating more than you are. They will straighten you out in the diet section.
Best of luck.

Go to the diet section here http://forums.steroid.com/forumdispl...DIET-QUESTIONS. There are some really awesome tips on that page. In my opinion you are way to undersized and to young to get involved in aas do some research and get on a good eating program you will be able to put on some great weight naturally. What is your everyday diet pls include when you post on the diet section so some guys can help you out. Best of luck bud take your time you will get there aas is not the answer for you right now.

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.

Sorry i don't buy into this theory much. Due to the idea that i was 6'2 and about 180 pounds at one time. It wasn't about just eating, but learning what & when. FOOD DUDE.Originally Posted by Yorkshirelad
Good luck.
Side note, I spent 2 years of life feeling like i would puke after every meal, due to the amounts of chow i was shoving in my face.

So...could you post your diet up here?
"Even sexier than Siggy"
post your diet in the diet section...
you are still young enough that your natural test is high enough to do what a low dose of added test would do to most people.
The simple fact is that if you cant eat and train well enough to add weight, then it means you cant sustain any pseudo weight you may add while cycling.

Amen to this. I went from 18 stone FAT to 10 stone skinny at 6ft, the naturally bulked up to about 17 stone then cut down to what I am now roughly 220lbs lean and solid. You have to throw food down your throat and accustom your body to eating at regular intervals,

This happens to me I gag but I still keep eating... I drink water and just swallow the food... sometimes I get this horrible ill feeling like I'm going to puke and I get really hot and sweaty and I just focus on breathing and not puking.
130 at 5'11 is insanely skinny you could have something medically wrong, even then if your diet was right you could easily gain 30-40 lbs if not much much more.

Im 19 18 stone bin doing lots of cardio would continue to do the cardio but extra lifting if i had the steroids is this a good idea? cheeers dudes.

If your not growing your not eating enough, and at 130lbs your very skinny. And even with AAS if you dont eat enough you wont grow. Period.
