Best age to start AAS????

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, ive noticed over the years with many Bodybuilders who have started in their early 20's they have had some major issues with recovery and natural Testosterone, I guess its all down to what you want to risk for the reward but IMHO i think 24-25 yrs old is a good starting point what should reduce the risk of damage. Why would anyone shut down a system what hasnt fully developed is beyond me.

I've heard the endocrine system is pretty stable post puberty 16/17+. Prove me wrong!

Go and do some research you will see what I wrote is correct, the main development is up to around 21yrs old but it still grows and develops up to 25yrs old. Hormones are very unstable up to the developing age. At 16 17yrs old hormones are just getting started and are not stable by a long way.

Its always the young guys who have started gear early what always try and state is ok to cycle at such a young age but with age you will understand more and become more wise in this area, ive seen some nasty stuff and some close friends who have battled with low test due to starting to young, its very common just take a look around here to see how many younger guys are suffering problems.

If you think its fine and your not intersted in the sides your risking thats your decision.
