18 year old - cycle caution

[MuscleInk]

If this is a literal reply, then how do you go about PCT?

Or, if someone is on cycles year-round, is PCT not needed? I figure that whenever you are changing chemicals, you use a PCT, no?

I "cruise and blast". In 2011 I was diagnosed with low T. My natural levels were only 162 and I had never touched steroids or prohormones in my life. I have conducted a PCT once and my test levels remained at 86 even after PCT. So now, for the rest of my life, I'll need weekly TRT to feel "normal".

What does it physically and mentally feel like to have low T?

And to be on a test cycle?

With low T:

- loss of muscle tone
- fat retention & gains
- lethargy (chronic fatigue)
- low libido (sex drive)
- depression
- myalgia (muscle pains)
- arthralgia (joint pain)
- irregular sleep cycle

.....in general, you feel weak and tired.

With a proper test cycle:

- increased energy
- increased strength
- less fat retention
- increased muscle tone
- positive mood
- increased libido
- increased appetite

There a few negative effects as well.

Just gotta ask myself one question, "Is the forbidden fruit REALLY that tasty...?"

Just gotta ask myself one question, "Is the forbidden fruit REALLY that tasty...?"

Well.....everyone will have their own reasons and answers to that question. You have to weigh the evidence, risks, and benefits and be prepared to accept any and all consequences regardless of severity.

I can tell you this. I didn't start my first cycle until I was 39. Before that, I was too absorbed in my career and fitness wasn't a big consideration or priority for me at the time. Yes, I worked out a lot when I was younger but once my academic interests took flight, working out wasn't something I made time for. Having run several cycles now, I enjoy the benefits of what anabolics provide but it is taking some toll on my body. Still, I'd rather continue feeling strong and fit than regress back to the way I was. I really don't think I would have touched steroids before 30 though because of the negative effects and it wasn't my lifestyle at the time.
