[Experienced Users] Will you help me?

^^^This....and I can tell you from years of treating men and women in clinic, men of every age don't openly discuss their medical issues and will delay seeking medical opinion/treatment much longer than women.

Just because his friend appears ok doesn't mean he hasn't already had problems. Has this 19 year old kid seen the labs on his friend and determined he is healthy? I think not.

That's a valid point, but he's been cycling for 5 years. Not to get bigger but to maintain his size.

I don't plan on doing that, I plan on cycling until I reach above and beyond what my goal is. Not by much, but enough that I'll be close to my goal once I come off the gear for good. What ever gains I lose that bring me below what my target is, I will get back naturally. Not over night, I know this.

I just honestly don't feel like working for 7 or 8 years to do what I can accomplish in half that time with the assistance of anabolic steroids.

take it to PM with a willing vet. most of us will refuse to openly talk about AAS with youngsters on the open board. it becomes too confusing to 99% of the rest of us if we make an exception with you. then the next batch of youngsters will see it and think it is ok.

Good luck!

Take Roman's advice. If you can find someone with experience to discuss this in the Private Message, you may get more help. We understand your ambition - we've all been there. It's not that we don't want to help, rather, we know first hand the risks and the real side effects you will experience and even if your friend has been one of the rare unique people to have minimal negative consequences (SO FAR) that does not guarantee you will have the same experience. Unless he is your identical twin, you have different genetics and unique individual variables that could make your experience with steroids entirely unpleasant.

There are many threads in here from guys your age who started steroids and quickly returned, desperate for help to fix many problems. All of them wishing they had listened when they were told to wait. It's easy to think, "it won't happen to me", but what if it does? What if you no longer produce testosterone by 20 or 21 because you shut down your HTPA. We have guys in here as young as you already on testosterone replacement therapy for LIFE. That means for the next 50 to 60 years of their life and for EVERY week of their life, they will need a doctor to prescribe a once or twice a week testosterone injection or a gel that they apply to their skin just to feel normal. Just to have an erection. Just to avoid feeling depressed.....and more.....and if you think "so what, that's not bad", just ask those of us who are already on TRT if we had the choice, would we rather have high natural levels or be on TRT for life.

Lastly, NOTHING happens quick. It takes time and dedication. Your diet and training more than any steroid will determine your size or how shredded you get. Steroids won't transform lazy and undisciplined into a body building miracle. Even the professional body builders (yes I realize that isn't your goal) train and eat meticulously for years before they are even ready to compete. Most people would be absolutely shocked by the amount of training and eating those guys do. Yes, it's their career and not for most of us, but that doesn't dismiss the facts that nutrition and training are the founding principals of success in body transformations.
