Lifts for 6 months

Thinks he can ascertain his genetics.

No wait until you’re older.

Been lifting 6 months and you’re a fucking teenager bro relax.

You know nothing about lifting, you only spent 6 months.

First learn it. Learn nutrition, exercise form, mind-muscle connection, workout routines, minimum/maximum volume needed, etc. Filter all bullshit 'science based' advice from people who have no background in science. Check your testosterone and what affects it for you.

Just learning should take at least 1 year and you do learn new stuff once in a while. Your first measurable progress should be 3 years in. Then you can decide to go on gear or not.

No. Reconsider this after 3-6 years of non-fucking-around-lifting,

I don't think it's wise. Do it natty like others stated. Why do you want to be jacked? If it's for women, that's the wrong plan.

You're going to fuck up your endocrine system and central nervous system. Your skin will get acne enough to cause scarring. You could lose your hair and get gyno. You don't want tits do you?

Furthermore, let's say you get a girlfriend. One you go off cycle, your dick won't work, you'll get ED and you'll be depressed.

You're going to be juggling a lot on gear. You can't be afraid of needles. You will need constant blood work. You need to protect your liver. Your blood with thicken. Your blood pressure and cholesterol will skyrocket.

It's not worth the health issues to get pussy. Lift hard and eat right.

Bro....

Lift min 3x a week
Sleep min 7 hrs ik you’re in hs aim for 8 and don’t set alarm on weekends
Stop jerking off
Drink water all day and drink milk with meals. Fluids (nothing sweet counts) help your muscles recover and grow and will make you look a little bigger than you actually are. Plus you’ll be healthier in every metric.
Eat all day. Eat like you don’t care if you get fat, but make sure it’s the right foods. I keep a box of protein bars in my room and eat them through the day. Focus on meat (red/white), fish, eggs, beans, some fruits and berries / veggies for a healthy body (you’ll literally feel better and can go harder in workouts but use most of your hunger on the aforementioned). I also eat organic everything (look for “organic” labels on your shit at the supermarket). They put all kinds of hormones and chemicals in that shit and it does add up
Stay away from caffeine, drink, and weed
Keep lifting heavy shit and BE PATIENT. Whatever you do stay away from steroids, hormones, creatine, etc. Fuck what anyone else says that shit is not natural and will hurt your body in the long run. You’re about my age let it come naturally and it’ll feel so much better once you get there

Follow these steps and in another 2-3 months you will look and feel better than you have ever felt in your life. I’m talking about everything not just gains. Your testosterone will be up. Your skin will be flawless. Etc. Just stick with it and have faith. Good luck bro

Nope. Not at your age and not with your experience. If you want real long lasting changes in your physique, master training and eating first. Without food and the right mind/muscle connection, WHICH TAKES TIME, gear will do nothing. These are your growing years. Maximize them. Be patient.

Plus the HPTA doesn’t full develop until you’re like 26. Don’t mess with it.

Gear isn’t magic. All it does is increase Nitrogen retention. That’s literally it. The rest is on you.

Also keep in mind that gear does NOTHING for tendons. Tendons and ligaments take TIME to develop. They don’t get the best blood flow. So if u take shit, eat like an animal, and blow up, you’ll get injured before you know it.

It’s stupid. Don’t do it. Also you’ll need way way WAY less later if you stay natural for as long as u can. I was natty for 12 years before trt. And the trt was enough to make a huge difference. I look like a gorilla. And I don’t have the best genetics. But I started lifting at your age. And never stopped. Didn’t even think about taking anything until my test levels were trash.

Gear has been proven to prematurely stop effects of puberty. That includes early closure of growth plates in bones & halted growth of your dick.

Extra pounds of muscle now aren't worth the potential of a bigger dick and a few inches of height. Stay off it until you're done with puberty for good.
