At What Age.
ad
At what age did you first think about taking "supplements". What do you tell a teenager when they come to you and ask you these questions. You can tell them some horror stories to scare them off trying anything, but you know that once your back is turned they are going to try it no matter what you say. What do you do ?

Ranger3252Tell them the truth, show them medical facts as to what it WILL do to them. Their quality of life would quickly decline at a very early age.
JacktonyWhat do you yell a 16 year old kid ? Who is curious? And will probably try it with or without your blessings. Do you face the fact its gonna happen so guide them. Or tell them it's no good and if you do it you will be in a world of trouble
Lifted naturally and religiously with no weeks off for 18 years before getting on anything. And it was TRT prescribed by my endocrinologist. Did that for ~2 years before trying higher test or other compounds. 40” vert, 500# deadlift, 440# squat, 220# snatch, and 275# clean and jerk at 6’ ~190# ~13% body fat was my final peak as a natural.
I know a lot of people who’d be perfectly fine with those stats, so drugs would never be needed. If they’re not there naturally and trying to accomplish those stats using gear then they’ll never achieve it, because they don’t have the work ethic or drive to actually obtain it. Gear only enhances what’s already there. It doesn’t magically produce drive or work ethic.
So you tell them if they look like a bag of milk now, then they’ll look like a bag of milk on gear. Only with shitty health markers to go along with it.
35 was the first time. I got into lifting a little later than most. As for kids you can just beware them of the consequences of their actions and what is in store if they take that path. Kind of like anything in life. Where theres an action there is always a reaction. Just really hope they listened and be smart about whatever they choose.
Late teens, started with prohormones then orals only as I had no idea what I was doing. That didn’t last long. I didn’t get into anything until my 40’s. It started with prescribed TRT then just went from there. Luckily I have a very understanding wife.
Ranger3252No one even knew what the hell a pro-hormones were when I started using them. Thank god the DEA banned that poison or I’d probably be dead. Didn’t start TRT until I was 32, then around 38 I started to really understand AAS, been blasting and cruising ever since.
Yeahhh. Those pro hormones from GNC was jumping. Two weeks in at 27 years old I was picking up 225 and throwing it over my head.
anvilThink about it? Birth...I actually did them at 21 or so. I have one teen in my life and he doesn't want anything to do with any type of drug. He plays 2 sports so doesn't wanna risk anything.
29-30ish was put on trt at first and first cycles was around 9 yrs ago. Best decision I've made for my mental well being
I was 42 when I first considered taking steroids. As far as these kids go, I just let them know…. not happening, non negotiable. I’m fortunate to have it like that with the youngsters in my life
