Questions for a Newbie #2... oh boy ha...

[MartinOrr]

Ok, If you haven't read my other post i'm 17. I want to do a cycle of test cyp, possibly another anabolic with it as well... but lets say for now i'm 17 and want to do a cycle of test cyp.

I have a few questions regarding this:

1. Will the test cyp permanently interfere with my future test levels? I am still growing, but will my test levels go back to normal after post cycle therapy... it would only make sence that they would for me too... wouldn't it???

2. My muscles are still growing, I realize that, but will the increased test affect them in any negative way now, or in the future?

3. Will anything bad happen to my maturity if I go on test? Basically will it have any different side effects because I am younger?

I realize that I am still maturing... I am 5'11", so I'm not worried that my bones will stop growing, but I am worried about my future test levels... I don't care if the test will drop off a little, so long as they are normal and my body will continue to produce it at a work-outable, livable level...

Thank you, and thank you to everyone who posted on my first thread, your help and knowedge has been aprichiated and has affected me even though it may seem otherwise...

My main concern on this thread is that my test levels will go back to an adequate level after post cycle therapy and I will end up ok later on in life...

I plan on taking 3 cycles in my life, one each year untill I am 20... so I'm not really here to body-build, just get a head start in size for mixed martial arts (hey, I can dream...)

depends how you have matured so far. You could get away with doing a test cycle, it just all depends on your recovery. You must, and I mean must, be very strict about your PCT.

taking that now will NOT permanently shut down your levels, however, it will stop your growing. expect your bones to fuse.

2. My muscles are still growing, I realize that, but will the increased test affect them in any negative way now, or in the future?

unless you have been training for a good amount of time and have built up a BIG base, you run the risk of injuring yourself. the increased strength gains can hurt your ligaments and tendons

3. Will anything bad happen to my maturity if I go on test? Basically will it have any different side effects because I am younger?

stunt your growth.

Good luck stopping it at 3! what you SHOULD do is WAIT til youre atleast 20 to start. what are your stats right now? height weight and bodyfat...

your testosterone levels havent even peaked yet at your age. to start now would be a waste

you will fuck yourself up and wish you didnt do it. you will end up with very low test levels for the rest of your life.

I think he's gunna do it anyway......we all learn from our mistakes someday.

see my previous posts on this subject....

plus, at 17 you are no where near being fully matured physically. Your scapula does not even completely ossify until youre about 21. Upper body strength does not fully develop until the late 20's. Youre not going to fast forward that..there are no short cuts in life. From the questions youve posted here, its obvious you do not have the knowledge base of the basics of how the body works. Kid, just eat right, train hard, and do the right thing. Oh, and by the way, if you get caught with the juice, you'll have a criminal record. Have a nice day...

Hey bro,

I see you have taken at least some of our advice. I just wish you'd take the rest and train naturally. I can just about guarantee you that if you start now, you WILL regret it. You've heard the answers to your question on this thread. It's your life and your choice now. One other thing. Do you like hair on your head? If you'll notice there's an entire forumn here about hairloss products.....it's a pretty common side effect. I haven't had any side effects whatsoever from 4 cycles so far....except hairloss. If you don't mind thinning hair at 18 and possibly complete baldness in your 20's....go for it! I'm also sure you've hear about the sexual side effects right? It would be pretty embarassing if I couln't get it up at 18 while I was doing PCT......

Yes, everyone is different and some have very little sides....but some have a TON of sides....

My original advice stands: Eat a LOT more (clean food), train hard and wait until you are in your 20's! You are nowhere near your natural peak. If you get to your natural peak first, then use AAS, you will be so much better then if you start now and peak out early. DIET is the key!

Good luck,
Skarn

this just proves a point.....all your questions. do you research first and get on this board and read and ask questions to educate yourself before jumping right in. you can go a long way naturally and be very impressed with the gains you make. do that first and learn everything you can before starting. you will be much more pleased with the end results!!

Ok, you heard what I had to say in the other thread. You've heard what these guys have to say too.

In the end, it's your choice. We're strangers to you, but that's why we can give you this advice freely. We don't know you, or have any any stake in your success or failure. The advice is based on experience, which is why you came here to begin with.

Try this. Before doing more homework on steroids, post your workout un the 'training' section of this forum and your diet under the 'diet, nutrition and contest prep' section. Remember to post your stats there too.

See what you get back. Chances are, if you're like most people, your diet and training could be better no matter how good you think it is. TRY what they suggest. Give yoursaelf 6 months of an honest HARDCORE effort following the advice here. You WILL see results if you do this. You'll also see you are no where near 'peaking' at this point in your life.

Use that 6 months to really study up on AAS too. Then you can make an informed decision based on facts, not desires.

Good luck either way, and welcome to FG!
