Brother, you're in the right place to ask candid questions and get candid answers.

The reason the iron vets here are so insistent that peeps don't start using AAS until they're 25 or older are real reasons.

The conservative advice you'll get here SAVES LIVES!

• You can enlarge your heart, and no one wants that kind of pain.
• You can develop muscles that don't match your tendons. (Muscle reattachment surgery isn't anything to sneeze at.)
• You become dependent mentally and physically on drugs instead of simply knowing that you've worked hard to become a natural bad ass.
• If you simply assume that you'll meet the right lover in your life and you want to start a family, AAS can literally chemically castrate you if done improperly.
• This shit is expensive. You should be chasing women, going on adventures, seeing concerts, sleeping on couches, and spend every waking moment dreaming about how you can change the world.

I learned how to listen to people that have made terrible mistakes before me. That's why I don't gamble, I don't run around on my wife, I try to respect everyone regardless of age, race, or gender, and I sure as hell don't f**k around when vets tell me the truth!

I won't criticize you. You simply wanna be stronger for yourself and for the people you care about. I have mad respect for that.

PM me and I am happy to send you lifting program that will help you build a solid foundation of muscle, as well as teach you the fundamentals of proper form, mental training, breathing, and overall gym etiquette, if you desire. (And no worries if you're not interested. I didn't get to where I'm at alone. A lot of vets held my hand. I'm paying it forward, and if you embrace the iron lifestyle, it'll be your place to help out the young guys in the coming decades.)

Wishing you well, brother. Cheers!

You say you've been training your whole life? I didn't learn how to eat / train properly till I was in my early 30's. Then I was able to gain like 25lbs in first year. No way you should be juicing at your age with those stats.

Let me tell you straight. At 175lbs you don't have a base built, largely because you haven't been at it long enough due to your age. Realistically jumping on gear means you'll gain size, then you'll lose most If not all of it when you come off. So you'll cycle again, probably adding more gear, same happens. More gear, more up and down, probably only a couple of pounds heavier a year town the line.

I see it every day mate, especially with you younger guys. Gain 10, lose 9. If you sharpened your game in diet and training you'd be further along......

If you're moving to aus I know a lot of the local BB scene has youngsters that have already hit the gear before even 18 and they are now in their early 20's competing at weight which is well above your stats (similar height) If you really want to get into the fitness industry is it to compete? At that age only reason to get on the roids is to compete (and even then its a pretty shitty reason) But these are the people you'll be competing against.
At 18 I'd have a go at it completely natty until ur in your mid 20s and see if you like it enough. You'll make plenty of gains @ 18 with a great diet trust me, i trained for 6 years before even considering gear and that was when my gains had plateaud almost completely. I wanted a tattoo at 18 i dont want one now. Alls I'm saying is make sure competing is really what you want to do before hitting the gear and if you do you will be best off waiting a few years.

Shoot, If I knew about all of the diet and training info that is available at my fingertips now back when I was 18 I would be able to put some serious weight on with just my high natty test levels alone back then. No need to screw up a good thing when you got it, so take advantage of the info available to you now and use it with that generous supply of natty test to make things happen.

nah mate, at 18 concentrate on getting laid, go get jiggy with it, go have an interacial gang bang or something.

Your diet is not on point becuz u didnt post it..
for starters....your AAS, AI and PCT have holes in it, too. More research...bro and SEVEN (7) MORE YEARS...

I have good genetics according to guys in the gym

Post up a pic and let's see

18 years old? You're not even old enough to be ready to have children bro, why would you want to start AAS? You honestly want to shut down your body's natural test when you're at the prime age to be producing more then enough to make great gains with just food alone. Don't follow the new generation of young uninformed/ignorance bro. You will most certainly REGRET it once you get a little older and I'm not talking in your 60,70,80's more like 30's. There's plenty of people on here that can help you naturally with diet and training man I'm one included. If your looking for support for AAS you won't get it here from anyone.

Welcome to EROIDS....did you stutter in your post???...lol...just kidding bro...i like the idea u are here and that u wanna get involved in the fitness industry....focus on that and do whats right....listen and learn.....update ur stats....are u 18 or 25...whats with the different ages?

Bro, I am downright offended that every time someone disagrees with some one it is labeled as "hate." I hope you go through your whole life and never experience genuine hate coming at you from another human being bro. I think there is a high probability that this will come true. Please do not use that word so loosely.

So, first, your profile stats say you are 25 and now you are saying that the truth is that you are 18?

We have a long explanation about age and steroid use - actually this topic has come up a bunch of times so if you use the magnifying glass up on top (the site search function) you can learn a lot about this.

The bottom line is, however, that if you start using synthetic hormones too early you will most certainly end up with a physique that is completely inferior to what you could have achieved if you had waited and continued to add mass without synthetics then hit the anabolics when you had maxed out naturally.

So, what is really frustrating is that you may have beautiful genetics for bodybuilding - the kind or genetics that may lead you one day to be a champion in the sport - and instead of working with that blessing and making it work for you - you will trash your chances by a premature introduction of anabolic hormones.

Once the damage is done it cannot be undone and if you start to early you will never know what might have been.

Then, there is the very real issue that an early use of steroids could leave you sterile and unable to have a family - ever in some cases - even with the most costly of techniques of in vitro fertilization - your sperm quality and such may just be too poor.

I am sterile from steroid use. So I'm speaking from personal experience on this one.

You're not likely to attract the kind of wife you want if you have to admit to her that you can't give her children.

These are just a couple of high level tidbits for you to think on, but we could write a novel on the consequences of to early an introduction of anabolic steroids.

I have sent you a friend request FR so you can send me private mail on eroids PMs.

I am trying to scare you bro, for certain, cause a lot of the information people will tell you is downright wrong or half truths and coming from people who never took steroids too early. I did.

18 years old? Horrible decision. Bad, bad, bad. Reconsider and do not expect this site to enable this decision. Good genetics should indicate you can achieve so much naturally, not a indicator to do PED's. Anyone that supports you taking AAS at 18 yrs old, remove them from your network of people.

Your profile puts you at 25, but you indicate 18 here....which is it?
