Fully developed endocrine system.

Would a scientific study really matter? There are plenty of scientific studies of the harmful, negative side effect of aas use but you are still going to do it, right? They are 1000s of scientific studies that show most all prescription medications have potential harmful side effects but most of us still use them, right?

I highly doubt there is anyone who has their mind set on using aas that it will really make a difference to. Just ask anyone 30+ if grew between 18 - 25 and most everyone will tell you yes. maybe only a little taller but most also filled out, got wider shoulders and ribcage. How much scientific proof do you need besides what is right in front of your face?

Bottom line you are going to do what you want to do so just be willing to accept the consequences and when things bad dont get upset when we say told you so or give you a bad time.

We have a lot of member who cycled before 25 who ended up on HRT. Controlled group? You can just become another statistic, OK? Use of aas before 25 is not going to be the reason 100% of the time but it seems rather high to those of us who have been here for a while.

What part of I am 40 years old and was on HRT at age 34 before ever touching steroids did you not understand?

I never said there are no exceptions to the rule but it is the norm. Just like there are Obese people who have a thyroid problem but it's 1 in 10,000 or less, right?

Understand?

BTW there is a big difference between 34 & 24. There has also been a lot of discussion and some articles on the coloration of Low T and injury. It seems quite a few people have been diagnosed with Low T after getting in some type of accident or extreme illness. Still at 34 you may have just been one of the unlucky ones who's glands did not produce enough T but luckily it was caught early.

I'd love to see the real story (but only the users truly knows) that result in HRT at 24 years old. Maybe someone goes on cycle at 17-18. Ok. I'd believe it possible. Early 20's? Less likely I believe. But there is also the questions of level of usage. There is a difference between use and abuse. And I don't mean to start shit or point fingers. I know I've abused anabolics in the past. But just don't think the risk associated with these substances are as states. I belong to many boards. This is the only one with a population of 24 year olds on HRT. It's also the only board that has a scientifically unsupported hard line not before age 25 usage rule. I'd love to be able to compare IPs of users. I suspect a lot of these posts are bullshit posted to back of the opinions of some of the more vocal users.

I did a search awhile back on the young hrt threads. I saw a couple of examples of common words used and misspelled by this supposed low post count youth on HRT and one of the people accusing me of spreading dangerous misinformation because I doubt the 25y/o threshold for maturity of the Endo system. Wish I had admin level access for a day.
