questions from a natural bodybuilder thinking of using steroids

[tk17]

Hey everyone, I'm completely new here. I'm almost 25 and have been training for roughly 8 years years now, doing a bodybuilding style of weight lifting. However, it's only been the last 2-3 years when I've really gotten consistent with my workouts and diet. Even so, I've found that I'm plateauing and believe I've basically reached my natural potential. I'm only 5'8" and the highest weight I've reached was around 183lbs, but that was with at least 5 lbs of fat. I'm currently in the 175lb range and that's where I've been stuck at for several years now.

So, enough background. I'm thinking of trying steroids to take my physique to the next level, but I'm not sure which ones to take or where to acquire them. If you could just buy them at the supplement store I probably would have experimented with them years ago, but the fact that they're illegal and you have to purchase them online from suspect distributors makes me very wary. So what I want to know is:
1) What type(s) of anabolic steroid would be safest and most effective for someone who's never used them before?
2) What's a reliable place to buy them from?
3) How much would this cost me? I'm a college student still living at home so I don't exactly have a lot of disposable income to blow

And on that last note, one of the biggest things keeping me away from the whole steroid scene is that I live at home with my parents still. Needless to say, I don't think they'd approve of me receiving shipments of AS in the mail, let alone injecting myself with it! Even the question of where to (discreetly) dispose of used needles is something I have no idea of how to handle. But I'm sure other people are in similar situations and have found ways around it and figured out how to do this discreetly...

I'd appreciate any honest advice anybody has to offer. Thanks guys

Test would be a good start. We don't discuss sources or prices.

First welcome. Second, spend some time on the Nutrition Forum and learn how you can maximize your natural potential before you take the leap your considering. I'm sure you can make much more progress naturally. Third, read all the stickies and educate yourself as much as possible regarding what your considering.

I think since you are so young you should try our steroid alternatives and use the for a while till you are older and have a better base and understanding of anabolics..They are great products and many people have had great results with them.

start with test e at 500mg for ten weeks

Don't start anything until you read what steroids are, what compound can do what to your body and all of the effects from it. Read the profiles of the roids and read some articles on it man. Study for at least a few months then get back to the members here with a cycle. Once you do that, then the members here can tweak it and give the best advice possible

Hey Razr that sounds like a good idea... assuming that these steroid alternatives actually work. Have you personally tried any of these products and if so, which would you recommend? Even though they're a lot cheaper and more affordable, I'm a little hesitant that, just like AS, taking them in pill form will be damaging to my liver...?

BigGuy90 I have but it's pretty overwhelming. That's why I made this post to see if I could get some simpler answers from people who've been there and done it, you know?
