Is it me or has anyone else noticed how young steroid users are getting in recent years..?
18-19 seems to be the norm. When I was a lad reaching a natural potential through training and good diet was what we aspired to, I would be surprised if anyone of 19 has achieved this.
When comparing body weight and maximum lifts it seems these kids are cycling just to attain natural or sub-natural gains whilst being on gear, 500mg/week seems to be standard for a first cycle, then ramping up to almost a gram for a 2nd cycle, to look normal with piss weak lifts..
I’ve just found my old training book, as a 19-20yr old (no gear) 310lbs bench, 440lbs squat, 480lbs dead.. A couple of years later with 25mg/day Anavar; dead went up to 600lbs..
We had nowhere near the amount of available knowledge on diet/nutrition and training these kids today have, and piss all on hormone use..
Whether the endocrine systems hormonal set-point is predetermined in DNA, or constantly re-evaluated throughout puberty I wouldn’t like to guess?
When Test finally does peak at around 21, which it will, I wonder if that peak will be significantly reduced compared to others of their age, had they held off cycling?
Steroids have very peculiar and most of the time dangerous effects on adolescents. Through aromatizing into estrogen, they cause the epiphysis (growth plates) to calcify (close) which will leave a person unable to grow any taller.
They also interrupt the hormonal balance of the body, and during puberty these hormones are very critical to proper body development..
Might we be soon faced with an epidemic of young men in their mid-20’s with testosterone levels of a pubescent girl, in need of TRT for the rest of their lives? With the ensuing legislative response from government cracking down on everyone, because of an irresponsible and impatient few..?
