So im a rebel, I learn everything the hard way and I generally dont take advice from anyone (in the past). I juiced at 17 (well, sort of) and I probably shut down my growth plates for good. At 17 I was about 130lbs and an avid pretty damn good wrestler and football player. I bought a 12wk cycle of test-e and dbol, finished the dbol, got really nice gains, and got maybe 3 weeks into injections and my mom found my stash and threw everything away, including pct. Just from that alone and working out and eating a shit load i went from 130-155. Never saw 130lbs on a scale ever again. Characteristic of beginning weightlifters.
Sides were bad however, ended up getting gyno-surgery and had no sex drive for months. Dr said best thing to do was simply let everything recover on its own. Do I regret it? Yes, it taken me about untill now (6yrs later) to be almost satisfied with my body, sex drive, my strength, overall health, and looks. BUT, let me tell you how bad it sucks to watch all your friends hit their growth spurts after highschool and naturally fill out while I remained the same size and had to work for every muscle I have. Luckily im not too ****ed up, im still bigger than the average guy and have a tremendous sex drive. Currently im about 5'8 1/2 160lbs max bench 265lbs squat 350+ last time I checked and im a good lookin guy too. Many people will not be as lucky as me and I just wanted to warn you newbies out there. THIS IS DANGEROUS TOXIC SHIT AND IT WILL **** YOU UP IF YOU DONT DO IT RIGHT AND WHEN YOUR BODY IS READY.
Who knows, I could be 6'1 right now, figuring I have a sz11 shoe, weight 180 naturally and not have to listen to the sound of my lungs pushing out air when i bend certain ways because my chest never got to fully expand. Will I ever juice again? Possibly when my body is completely maxed out and there is nothing i can do to gain a pound. Then I will have a doctor monitor the whole process. I cant tell you how many "bodybuilder" friends I have my age (22) all on juice, all blowing up and shrinkin back down, only to have stretch marks and back acne. Hilarious. Think before you act and sry for the long post.
