tell you what we can all use this thread to post a pic of your selves about a month or so before you started taking steroids, im sure some of you will post pics of yourself after youve done a cycle but i would love to see those pics where your thinking about taking steroids but not yet touched them

NeilpWest

jjb1

god if i find this 1 of me at 22 trained for 6 months you wouldnt belive it i walked into a gym at 10 stone..........im about 16 now

more muscle

jjb1,
thats amazing.
You must tell us your routine and what cycle u used???
16 stone cant be easy to maintain if u were 10 stone to start.
I'm 13 stone now and used to be 12. Just 4 weeks into my 1st cycle I'd like to be 14 stone+.

NeilpWest

have you only gained 1 stone natty mate now your using gear???

NeilpWest

magic torch where bouts are you in essex

not one pic up yet, just as i thought

Even if others did start gear early perhaps they advised you against doing the same because they learnt the hard way and dont want you to make the same mistakes they did.

What others do is irrelevant. Do what you wanna do mate

Just thought this should be a little bigger for us s'reknaw to read clearly

and what mistakes are these? what can go wrong? like i said i dont want to be a competitive bb so im not going o be using for the next 20 years

I am no expert on these matters but some can be:-

Tendon and ligament strength wont be upto scratch for the increased muscular strength, so you may end up injured.

Im guessing here, but you probably dont know your body well enough in order to maintain the gains from a cycle. You probably have not perfected your training and diet to a high standard.

So your do a cycle, make some good gains and then more than likely loose them. Then do another cycle, yo yo..... yo yo. You get the idea.

Are you not making gains now??

Why you should wait to reach your genetic potential before starting AAS

Well, for one I know I didn't, but I learned good bit about nutrition, proper form and preventing injury first, trained natty for 3 months to see if I stick with it, gained over a stone, trained on 14/14 10mg D another 3 months, gained another stone... I wouldn't actually started full blown course yet, but training aggravated my pubertal gyno and I started letro to kill it, then letro killed my libido (that was low enough without it) and I got ****ed

Wish I had pics, I would post them no prob. The reason? You woulnd't see a great deal of difference from jsut before my first course, and the end of it.

This is what I am saying to you, they aint going to do much for you in relation to your goals, that you can just do yourself naturally and at the very minimum save your money! THEY ARENT A MAGIC BULLET!!!

Seriously, you say you only want two ish stone - you can get that in 10 weeks on gear, yes, but most of it will be water and will drop back off again, leav ing you with - maybe - a 10lb max muscular gain, and that will only be because its your first cycle... and only IF you eat and train 100% correctly....

Which brings me full circle - if you eat and train 100% correctly you will add quality muscle like I did without the gear anyway. And without the water/bloat if you are smart.

PS, Having said all that, I am sure that if you go ahead and decide to do it anyway (its your right to put whatever you like into your body after all) the people on this board will help you do it as safely and effectively as possible....

I strongly beleive it doesn't really matter what anyone says if you have made your mind up to take steroids, then you will do.

I did my first course just before my 20th birthday but i had already built a fairly good foundation from training powerlifting style from the age of 16 and then with experienced powerlifters from the age of 17 and so was already squating 180kg, 110 for a couple and deadlifting 180-200kg and was around 13 and a half stone.

People avised me i was too young but my mind was made up and therefore i did start steroids which saw me using 250mg sus and 100mg deca a week for 10 weeks for my first cycle which i though was great and took me to over 15 stone and my lifts and strength up aswell.

End of the day, if you want to use gear then go ahead but be sensible, im sure you will, and use this forum for what it is meant for, asking advice on your cycle, pct etc and also make use of the training and diet forums as steroids alone will not build a good physique alone. The amount of people i have seen it gyms that use AAS and still lift **** all and bearly look like they have ever trained is unbeleivable. So get your training and diet 100% and get everything planned, post a training programme in the training forum and get advice etc with that and then the same with a diet and then stick to this relegiously and then the steroids should just be a supplement to aid you.
