When did YOU start using anabolics....

[UnoDenero]

I'm 14 and dont plan on starting anytime soon, but when did YOU start?

[smalls]

A few weeks before my 22nd birthday.

since I phrased that wrong...18...it is a double edged sword..in some ways I regret starting early and in some ways I like that I started earlier..I probably should have waited until 24...oh well you live and you learn

Unodenero,

Im not trying to be a jerk or anthing, but you REALLY need to hold off on the gear.

Your nuts have barely dropped, you shouldn't thinking about roids, you need to be worrying about how to workout correctly, what works, what doesn't, figuring out how to diet for growth ect. When you reach your genetic potential, you might be ready for the juice. Until then, be patient, pay your dues, learn from the big guys, work your butt off. Thats all I'm gonna say.

Oh the answer to your question... 23 years old

I was 26.

[Ace7644]

im 19 now almost 20 and im considering using aas when im around 21 or 22 but i was just wondering if you guys worry about not being able to have kids later in life since aas can screw you up in that department.

[Hatred]

No.

Yes I do.

[smalls]

Yes I do.

As do I. In fact it's the only problem I worry about in relation to my use.

dude, read what i said. I dont plan on using roids for a long while, Its just a curiousity post man. Also, I know how to workout, I know correct form, but I dont know much about supplements and whatnot. Thats why im asking.

if you want to learn on supplements just do a little search here on supplements!!

i would concentrate more on your diet!

[Jasonl]

I just turned 22 so I may use in a couple years. I would not consider using until I have completely hit my genetic potential. :angel:

[Jasonl]

You guys, I'm pretty sure he's just starting on his research. Nothing wrong with getting a head start on that as long as he doens't use until much later.

[HahnB]

Does anyone have any good studies done on steroids in relation to having children? This is something that worried me a little when I decided to do my first cycle.

[ryuage]

honestly I dont see a point in using steroids when reaching your genetic potential.... otherwise what is the point youll just have to keep using them to maintain the newly acquired muscle past that point. Id rather use them to achieve my genetic potential faster :)

[BigMatt]

It's all about the food bro...
Concentrate on your diet.
Lift Heavy.
Consistency and intensity are the keys.

I know of a lot of people who have conceived while on cycles and their kids are fine. I don't see why it would effect the kid, really.

If I'm not mistaken, I think that both restless and smalls have done very long cycles? I think the risk of not being able to ever have kids is only present if you permanently shut down your testes by doing cycles so long you can't recover from them

I could be wrong though

It can't affect the kids, but AAS can interfere with spermatogenesis by causing secondary hipogonadism, which can result in sterility. It's usually reversible, and even if your HPTA doesn't function anymore you can still induce spermatogenesis by means of HCG/HMG therapy.

Good post, were not going to have alien babies. If you do intelligent cycles, with proper recovery, and adequate time off the chances of worrying about such things is small. But it's still a risk you have to accept.

17...with alot of research

[[[[----]]]]

To each his own. I say do what ever the F&#k you wanna do. Who cares what anyone else thinks. Everything about my diet and form is fine too. I just wanna get bigger faster. Deal with it. :evillaugh

[smalls]

It's not about what other people think, it's about making a mature decision. . seems your well on your way, lol.

[[[[----]]]]

Hopefully i can put the same effort into working out into school......that would be great!:cry:

[tony touch]

i was a senior in high school, i started training at a very early age....was planning on playing college football D1 AA.....


yes i worry about not being able to have kids....nothing would disapoint me more...as i become more mature i think of this more and more and i've become sensitive to this issue....it's of importance. I have seen many many guys on the boards, however, who've used dosages 3x thwe amount most of you take and some almost year around eventually have kisd.

[[[[----]]]]

Awe man, what happened with the D1? I had a friend play for West Virginia.

[tony touch]

got recruited by buffalo (d1), rochester (D2 i think) (ivy league status...offered 3/4th tuition off to play, i was such adumbass), siena (D2), marist (D2), albany (D1), Hamilton and a few others.

In hindsight, had i chosen rochester..i wouldve been set. school costs upwards of 40 grand a year to go to and i wouldve been goin for pennies, had tutors and the whole nine yards. Average gpa there was a full point higher than mine and i still wouldve gotten in.

Reason for not playing: i got caught up in the wrong things and was more interested in chasin tail and partying. STUPID STUPID STUPID. I am now going to a community school gettin my act together as a result of my dumb decisions

[[[[----]]]]

Yeah,my friend was on AAS at the time, and his footbal team powerlifted. He tried to show off and do like 4something on bench and tore his pec! It was gross. The whole muscle was pulled up in to his chest.!

[kingmetal]

Started when I was 29, am 31 in may. Unlike most I read on the board, I wanted to a) make sure I had reached close to my NATURAL potential, and b) didnt have so much natty test running though me that a cycle would be silly, and c) wanted to be financially able to drop $300-500 (if not more...) on a cycle as well as being able to afford the medical expenses of regular bloodwork.
But to each his own. My way was my way- I could give a **** less if your 12 years old jacking a gram of test a week.

[BCC]

I believe that having a lot of natural test is a crock of **** compared to a real cycle. I don't care how high my testosterone was at 18, because it didn't compare to what 700mgs of total AAS a week was going to do.

[tony touch]

so true

[Pitfan04]

Im with you BCC. I here everyone talking about, at 19 your test levels are so high, it would be pointless to add more..... Show me a 19 year old who has the same test levels equivalent to 500-750mg of Testosterone running through there body, and I will show you a flying pig pissin on a Queen.

I am 19 and have done a 1-AD cycle and a M1T cycle... I am starting a cut in about a month to get to EXACTLY where I want to be. Even if I have to cut for a year. Right now I am 5'8'' and 184 at 14%. I would like to about 170 at 7-8%. Then I will think about juicing.

[kingmetal]

Allow me to reiterate. I dont give a damn if your 12 years old jacking a gram of test a week. To each his own.
Most teenagers dont research, have no clue what anabolics do to their bodies and cant afford a single decent cycle, let alone PCT.
I am aware there are some teens on the anabolic board with alot of knowledge and AAS experience.

[tony touch]

kingmetal- u bring up an excellent point, i'd say 98 percent of teenagers have no idea wut they are doing.

i was reading the boards when i was a freshman in high school!!!!!LOL

Not trying to start an arguement here, but if you've done a 1-AD and M1T cycle and think you're still natty, that's funny.

[restless]

Ah.....M1T is not an androgen, is it? :zipit:

[Pitfan04]

Then I guess you can say 18 is when I started. CrazyK, dont worry, nothing was took the wrong way.
