If you want to provide me with reliable and relevant articles indicating that I am too young for gear well then post them and I will certainly read them and consider the conclusions. The reason I got started on gear last year was because I reached a plateau where I could no longer seem to add on more size. I started off with a 12 week cycle of Test-E @ 500mg/wk and I was happy with the results. There was no way I could have reached those results without it. I took a year off and I believe its safe for me to start with my 2nd cycle. I definitely understand your concern, but this is something I've looked into and analyzed before getting involved.
If u did ur "fair share of research on the topic" then u would already know about the Endocrine & HPTA, I wouldn't hav 2 post articles 4 u 2 read. That plateau u reached could hav easily been broke through if ur diet was correct. And that "I cant do it without steroids" mentality is just laziness, another kid lookin 4 the magic pill.
