As long as that is what he wants to do with his life, I don't think that telling him that he might mess up his endocrine system and miss out on a few
pounds of natural potential is going to dissuade him. I tried to do my part by advising against the Deca.
I disagree, I have been here long enough to see that even if 100 of them decide to go down that path anyways there are those 1 or 2 who have a little more brains/common sense and we can change their mind. It's worth the effort to save the 1 or 2 from making the same mistake to many have.

I was one of those who ALMOST used at 18-20 many times but got lucky and each time at the last minute either got talked out of it or decided not to. Granted I did not look like him but I was in good shape. If I know how to eat/diet I would have had some good size.

It's worth giving them the reasons NOT to do any and if they really decide to make them do the research to find out what to do.

Just because someone is going to do something does not mean it's ok for you to be the enabler. I know several kids who are 17+ who drink. I will pick them up from parties if they get stranded or need a ride due to their ride is drunk but I draw the line at I will NOT buy them even one beer.
