Doing steroid cycle at 19?

Post it on a steroid sub not here. You are not going to get any useful advice here.

Nobody just does one cycle. When you come off your test won't be as high as it is right now and you will lose everything including the motivation to train naturally. If you feel bad mentally imagine pct. If you don't stay on I'd say don't even start and 19 is really young to start juicing.

I’m 26 and have been training since 16. Over the years I’ve had many training partners who did steroids and looked way better than me. Wanna take a guess how many still do?

Here are my experiences doing my first cycle at 22, 23 years old now. First off, I’ll preface that I don’t recommend partaking in it unless its something you really want to do. For me, I had no regrets and it was a good experience because I know I’ll do it again in the future.

I did a 14 week test E cycle at 400mg per week split into mondays and thursdays (200mg per pin) rotating dorsal gluteal sites. Supplemented with A-sin at half a tab EOD, and HCG 400 IU on mondays and thursdays again. Noticed change about 2 weeks in especially in strength. By the end of the cycle I was a fucking meat brick house with legs but didn’t look fantastic by any means because I was bulking.

PCT comprised of clomid and nolva at 40/40/20/20 and 50/50/25/25 then cold turkey. Felt amazing during cycle. Best part was the mental focus and fucked like a champ. Only sides I had were just me being moody at times but nothing crazy. No gyno or hair loss. Post cycle, I feel like my baseline self, libido is fine, motivation is still there but I certainly miss the mental focus and drive. Everyone is different though so don’t take my experiences as gospel.

Starting stats: 5’8” 160lbs approx 15-16% bf Working with a previous levator scapulae injury so pushing movements were painful. BP 185lbs DL 405lbs SQ 305lbs OHP 135lbs

Testosterone 12.7nmol/l (normal range is 5.8-28.0) CBC normal LFT normal Renal normal Triglycerides and lipids (normal) Estrogen (normal)

Intra cycle stats: Testosterone 48.6nmol/l CBC elevated at 5.36 LFT normal Renal normal Lipids normal Estrogen elevated

Post cycle stats: 195lbs (after a cut and expected loss, kept 10lbs, am now 172ish lbs at approx 14% bf, I look virtually the same but bigger with more definition on the traps and delts) BP 265lbs DL 465lbs SQ 365lbs OHP 185lbs

Testosterone 13.4nmol/l CBC normal Renal normal LFT normal Lipids normal Estrogen normal

These results honestly felt subpar at best. Granted there are a lot of variables affecting the outcome of my cycle ie) shift work, diet, sleep schedules, stress, shoulder injury, etc. I can’t stop you from pursuing it but if you decide to make that leap, at least do it right. Get labs, research it, get the right gear, start small (if you can’t make gains off just 250mg then you shouldn’t be doing it at all) get an AI on deck, start bumping HCG during cycle and have a proper PCT. dm me if you got any questions.

500ng/dl isn't great but it isn't abysmal. I would seriously look into other options before going on a cycle. It sounds like with all due respect, your confidence and frame are not where they should be.

A cycle will boost your test, but that's just a number. That won't magically fix your problems. If it's depression it may make anger or anxiety worse. Secondly, you are doing damage to your endocrine and CNS.

So here's what happens; let's say you do a 3 month cycle. You spend three months feeling good, strong, aggressive. Then you go off cycle and another 35 to 40 days you feel like shit, you're depressed, and you have major problems with erectile dysfunction. How does that help you?

Or you dose too high and your prolactin and E2 levels skyrocket. The next think you know you're growing painful tits and lactating and everything is making you cry like a bitch. Oh, and the pesky ED is kicking again..

Do you know what PCT or AI to take on and off cycle? Are you willing to donate blood and be a pincushion for the rest of your life?

I suggest you try some hcg for two months. Stimulate your own natural testosterone production and even yourself out.

It's your life, but at your age I think it's a horrible idea.

2 years of lifting and you're 70kg? Were you 50kg when you started? I'm 5'10, 90kg, 16% bf and nowhere NEAR the level of doing a cycle. wtf are you thinking? Carry on lifting for another two years and actually work at it. Steroids won't fix your pussy attitude.

Are you certain of your bloods being 500 nanograms per liter, instead of 500 nanograms per deciliter? 500 ng/dL is pretty average, but 500 ng/L is absolutely awful and should qualify you for TRT.

If you want to get on a steroid cycle do so, but would be better to try to get testerone naturally.

We have nearly the same stats, and I will say go for it! Why? Because you’ll get experience with your first cycle, with a fine low dose. How it affects you, can I not say, it depends on way too many variables.

I have done one cycle, and is doing a SARM before my second cycle, to increase my ability to undertake another cycle. My cycle was very low-dose; one thing that happened with me was that I took far more risks, which isn’t good, as I’m already a person that puts a lot pressure on myself!

I go on dates, and if a girl dumped me, it was way easier to have the mindset, “fuck her, it’s her loss”. Whether it’s a placebo is hard to say, because after the cycle now, the mindset has been ingrained in my thoughts for better

Another thing, don’t take advice from people that have not undergone a cycle.

Not sure your issues stem from low testosterone. It seems like you're normal.

Note that your levels will vary throughout the day, and are highest in the morning, which means the time you got tested would affect the results. Lack of sleep, fatigue, stress, during that time period would also affect the results you got.

When you workout, ensure you're working your legs, and lower half as well. Deadlifts will cover the ass, and hamstrings but not so much the quads. Also, include at least some light cardio to get the heart going.

Apart from that, competing and winning has been shown to result in short-term testosterone boosts, so long as you care about winning. Even believing you're a winner can provide a boost.

Finally, personally, I think having access to sex can keep your libido up.

Get your Vitamin D levels checked and correct if necessary.

500ng/dl is shit at your age, but I hope you realize a cycle will likely make it even worse. You may want to have your testosterone checked a 2nd and maybe even a 3rd time to be sure before making a big decision like this. But if you are already in good health and not getting better results, you may want to use testosterone for the rest of your life.

Living with high testosterone is amazing. I have been injecting for 3 years now (since age 28) and my only regret is that I did not start sooner. My testosterone was 16nmol/l before I started, which is slightly lower than yours.

Beerhog281 · 2019-10-28T04:53:31+00:00

It all depends if you have a condition that causes your low T. I say go to your physician ask for referral to an endocrinologist, and have them run tests. With 500 nl/dl and your young age I doubt anyone will put you on Trt. I’ve been on Trt, and must honestly say I didn’t see any improvements, all it did was mess with my libido. It is not all that cracked up to be for younger guys, and it really sucks when you need to come off of it for fertility reasons. It would help you if you have critically low T (less than 200 nl/dl). What you can also do is go to rejuvenation clinic and they might put you on a serious stack which will give you all kinds of gains. You will pay boatload and the gains will stick for as long as you are injecting. I say stay natural and maybe consider supplement that is formulated to help with T, but do your research because there is a lot of crap out there marketed as Testosterone boosters.

Your weak as fuck...

nonorganic-psychosis · 2019-10-27T09:04:39+00:00

Steroid make people stupid. I am %100 sure about that after i saw people in took it.

If it would cure depression psychiatrist would use it. There are medicines for low t. levels other than anabolic steroids also. Hit the hospital.
