Considering a steroid cycle

BigJohnnyCockRamPHD · 2019-03-27T11:48:51+00:00

Hey you fucking dummy your natural testosterone will never be higher than what it is now at 18. Why would you want to screw that up and suffer for the rest of your life. At your age its so easy to get jacked without much effort. Remember you’re gonna be older way longer than you’re gonna be younger and you should enjoy your natural testosterone. Taking steroids at your age is the dumbest thing you can do right now you little punk

I saw the title - came in to write "Best decision I ever made, going on a steroid cycle and then trt". Then i saw your age, 18 years old. I'm 34. Don't fucking touch steroids , remove that thought out of your head, pretend you dont even know what steroids are until you're at least 26-28+. I'm serious. Don't - fucking - do - it.

You don't need roids at age 18

You really shouldn't mess with steroids if you can't even find the right sub to post the question

You planning on getting serial bloodwork? Think about the need for E2 blockers?

Consider the fact that everytime you run a cycle and thereby completely shut down your own testosterone production, there's a chance it'll NEVER come back? That you'll need TRT therapy for the rest of your life? Hope you've read about fucking up your HPT axis.

You say you lift. Your BMI is not even 24, which means you don't have much muscle mass, even with your recent gain. What's your current bodyfat/lifts?

As in are you already advanced or have you just been fucking around for years? You don't need to answer that, I know the answer.

Do you already supplement? Creatine? Aminos? You willing to eat your fucking face off and work harder that you've ever worked in the gym? Go the money to support that lifestyle?

Because if you aren't then you're wasting the cycle and taking risks for no reason.

You're nowhere near your natty potential. Since you'll be lifting more weight for more reps, you'll be stressing your skeletal joints and connective tissue systems more than ever, and steroids weaken connective tissue. Tears and injuries are common.

You also haven't built tendon strength and accessory/stabilization musculature to the point where you'll be able to safely support a significant increase in load.

I just don't think you have the discipline or body to run a cycle effectively yet.

You're 18. Your life is going to change so much in the next 4 years you won't believe it.

Wait until you're 25.

You aren't even fully developed. You could still grow a bit and your body will change. Wait at least until you are 21. Do your research good and than make a rational mature decision.

Listen, want to use roids? Go ahead, it will kind of mess you up a bit but not that bad (better than eating McDonald's everyday) however there is a negative side by using steroids, you will develop a body that you haven't trained for, and as everything in life you gotta be weary of knowledge you haven't earned yet; speeding up the process this way represents what you are in life, would you play dirty to get an ascension in a job? Or take the easy way out? Don't look at the others and center in yourself, you will get there as long as you aim for it, wiser.

consider that youre a bitch

damaged_goods420 · 2019-03-27T15:43:46+00:00

I wouldn't ever consider going on even a beginner cycle before 23/24. Lifting natty for 4 years taught me discipline, good form, and what my body was capable of. Hopped on 4 months ago and it's great, but at your age I wouldn't reccomend it. Obviously your choice but even at my age I second guess my decision because I'm toying with natural hormone production.

Throwaway-242424 · 2019-03-28T00:02:00+00:00

18

lifting for about 1 year

77kg at 5'11

I want to get on steroids

Unless you have a legitimate chance of going pro, this idea is fucking terrible.

My bread and butter. PM me.

Most of the guys in r / steroid are narcissistic assholes, that being said they're smart assholes. The consensus is not to start cycling until you're 25, however I'm also 18 and I started my first cycle a few weeks ago. My advice would be to not only research, but to also be ready to deal with the consequences. Ever heard of hypogonadism? Not fun, but in the end it's your decision no matter how many angry redditors tell at you.

Unpopular opinion, consider using SARMs first. Significantly less risk than steroids and since you are young, you will see the gains very rapidly.

Ostarine and LGD 4033 have passed phase 2 trials for the FDA and are working on the 3rd. Arguably the two most studied SARMs with thousands of positive reports supplemented with blood tests before and after.

Mk677 is my personal favorite as it is a growth hormone secretagogue. Better REM sleep, powerful recovery, healing of old injuries, etc. It is not a SARM but it is often misclassified as one.

If you don’t want to do SARMs, get your testosterone levels checked and see where you’re at. TRT May be the reason behind your lack of gains. Steroids are a last and final option in my opinion and something I will never do for fear of long term effects.

Before you even start doing anything, make sure you’re at your absolute max. For me, I was just shy of the 1000lb club. 408 DL, 320 squat, 225 bench. Within a month I was hitting 495 DL, 408 squat, and 254 bench.

If you have discipline down to a T then with the full research do it. I'd recommend to keep it simple. But most 18yo I've met that did a cycle screwed up their hormones.

Consider that your test is high but your receptors and other things subsequently affected by test may be down. So you must see if there are other supplements that allow for high testosterone in the body to result in fruition.
