You don't know who is on the other end of the keyboard, and i have a hard time when some 25 year old clown on one end of the computer tells some kid who may be a solid competitor, or emergeing lifter that he should not use anything until he is 25 like a smug asshole. Obviously i am not talking about you or anyone specifically, but i have seen it happen in my 10 years on these boards. I just think their is more to it than an age. I am not trying to be confrontational, just some food for thought.
Its got everything to do with age when we are talking about age and the HPTA, ive spoken to my endo regarding this issue like ive posted above and he states that 25yrs old is a good starting place for the HPTA to be fully developed and as estabolished its patterns, the risks are far greater if this isnt done. So I would rather listen to the experts and my own experience what ive seen over the last 20 odd yrs than some food for thought.
