Anyone cycled at 20-21? What are your experiences?

[DFRELAT]

People in here judge alot by the age of the first cycle, I disagree with most of them, here's why. I say who cares at what age you begin, what matters is WHY are you starting, you want to ba a douche and look good on a beach with all the other wannabes? Or do you have a good reason? For me, one is this, you're an athlete, a bodybuilder, a powerlifter or whatever and you have great potential and starting anabolic steroids might give you the edge that you need to pull yourself apart from the pack and sign a big juicy contract just for example. Now everyone lives their lives the way they want, who am I to judge, but looking good on a beach looking like a douche is not that hard really and if you consider the needs, the potential risks to justify the end for it, well its your life do whatever the hell you want! To me it's shallow, ridiculous and stupid but that's just my opinion!

Your reasoning sux!

You think that someone who has aspirations at a young age of being a bodybuilder or powerlifter, they should disregard their future health for a contract(read, money)!? Not the smartest move in my mind.... but then what would I know...... I just look good on the beach

I didn't say just an aspiration, I said an athlete with great potential, who could set himself aprart,big difference. And secondly that was just ONE example of many we could say. And why say anything about disreaguarding their future? Taking steroids will automatically mess them up for the rest of their life is what you are saying here? BS! Millions of people on this planet take steroids and have absolutely no problem whatsoever. I gave the example of getting a contract, I think the end outweigh the risks here, in my opinion the chance of setting yourself up to earn a living is good enough. This is all hypothetical of course, just one of many examples I could've said because I personally know a baseball player and a few hockey players who did and in their shoes I would''ve done exactly the same! You think you look good on the beach, good for you! And just so you can sleep quietly tonight, they are all perfectly healthy! lol

No steroids won't "automatically" mess them up, but this thread is about a young person enquiring about others in his age group and their results. As I understand it, it is true that, the younger (less developed HPTA) you are the more likely you will run into problems when you cycle off. While I agree that in life, it is true that to get ahead some calculated risks are necessary, the situation you are creating is very far from the norm and needs to be highlighted as such. Thank you for letting me know your friends are all healthy and I am glad they are.... restful sleep is a rare commodity these days lol

All I will say is we have had or share of under age kids here who cycled and had problems.Now they regret it.So if you think there is a safe way or that they did something wrong.Guess again if your health don't mean much too you.By all means go head and cycle.The choice is yours.

on the one hand, I do understand your reasoning. But here is why I disagree with the advice. There are so many young wannabes here that think they are going to be the next young body building prodigy, that they will accept this line of reasoning as applying to them. Chances are, of the thousands online here on this BB right this very second, probably less than 1/2 of 1% will even reach a level where this might apply. Maybe. So I usually tailor my advice for the majority, and if I feel compelled to advise a youngster on proper AAS usage, I'll take it to PM.

Your reasoning sux!

IMHO, his line of reasoning is probably about right. No sense in throwing stones at him. There is a very very small percentage of the younger population whereby aas might be a viable option. But this small population would already have had to spend years in the gym, diet/nutrition already dialed in, they are already plateauing in the gym with their gains, and if they want to be competitive, and attract sponsors, then certain sacrifices should be considered, if they want to go all out in body building.

In other words, they have to be at a top level. How many of the youngsters here today can truly say they are at a top level?
