    Wait till your around 24yrs old to start using steroids, no need to shut down your system when you have a nigh amount of natural testosterone and your still growing, steroids are not the answer food, once you learn how to eat to build lean tissue you will be in a far better position to use steroids.

    i know, ive heard this all the time...

    i want to do the test, u say 24, but not everyone's endocrine system is the same. i want to do something like a blood test to see how developed it is at the moment... maybe it will be fully developed at 23? i just want to know...

    Steroids are not the answer at your age, you need to wait till you have fully stopped growing and you also need to build a base from yrs of hard training, to be honest with you normally the younger guys have no idea about foods/diets so if you master this area first you will be in a better position when the time comes.

    Everyone is different and I am not sure if the is an exact test to see if your endocrine system as fully developed but there is a test you can take to see if your growth plates have stop developing but again you need to stop thinking there is a set time when you can use steroids, your yrs away from it so just carry on training and playing around with your diet, build a base.

    Im assuming that maybe full HPTA development is associated with peak test total levels, from which you can see is given in the specific age groups.

    Not to my knowledge there isnt. They would test your hormones and see if you are in the average range for your age.

    The body isn't fully developed until the avergae age of 24-25yrs old even though the main developement is up to 21 yrs old.

    Your years away from using AAS, you will probably wont even still be training in 5 yrs time so why dont you just forget about steroids and concentrate on food and training until your around 24 yrs old and then reconsider.

    No one here is going to tell you what age you would of stopped growing, in a few years go and have your growth plates tested and have a full blood panal done see what levels your hormones are at, the way your going on about this sounds like your 12yrs old so forget steroids and go and eat for at least 4 yrs, jesus whats wrong with you

    You dont need AAS at 19.

    I used at 19 and have scars on my chest, back, shoulders from acne and a small case of gyno.

    I then didnt cycle till recently (24).

    You were recently banned at OLM and I'm very glad of it.

    Your a total idiot looking for the answers you WANT to hear. But your not going to get them.

    You have been told time and time again, NOT to cycle and use AAS. What dont you f*cking understand? Everything has been explained to you numerous times.

    I'd like you to look at a new thread asking for my help today: http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=434448

    I get PM's everyday like this, or asking my help with PCT issues as their HPTA is f*cked.

    Again, what dont you understand kid?! Its black and white.

    You havent posted your diet or training program and have been told too. Your just another newbie looking for quick fix. If you decide to use AAS I gaurantee your going to run into problems and I will be the first shouting, "I TOLD YOU SO!". Your next thread in 3 months time will be asking what to do as you can get an erection.
