so my family came and visited me last night and helped me move some stuff into my dorm, and my younger bro whom i've gotten into powerlifting and i saw he was eyeballing my new bottle of superdrol (which i'm going to run again after my ACL heals with my GHRP cycle), and he finally mentioned wanting to buy a bottle, asking me how it was and all, but i told him it may not be safe.

isn't he a little too young? he's 16, i personally waited until i was 18 to even start taking prohormones (which sucked by the way), fearing side effects.
 
16 and 18 are way too young to be messing around with your hormones. And yeah, prohormones no a days are just begging for side effects.
 
legal reasons are stated @ 18 for everything. You're considered as an adult (that's why) honestly everyone is too young if under 25.
 
16 is too young. Running Superdrol without Testosterone? What the fuck bro? You need to start hanging out here more and learn how to run a proper cycle instead of dicking around and getting subpar results.

i can't really get any illegals right now (no one sells juice in this small town, best bet is across the border but i haven't had a chance to go over there yet), and i've heard you can use this stuff alone, i was going to run it with the GHRP-2 (still recovering from ACL recon.), MGF, and some liver protection/anti-oxidants. still have the bottle laying around, untouched until this summer, when i'll be able to squat again. any other advice?

and yeah, i'm usually on anabolicminds, i don't use this site often because there's not as many members.
 
Superdrol is garbage by itself. It will lower you Testosterone levels to zero, it will leave you feeling fatigued, and it can only be run for 4 weeks.

Either start sniffing around online or go across the border.
 
16 is too young yes, but if he sets his mind on it at his age, he's just gonna go and do it himself anyway. Tell him he's too young and try to prevent him taking it, but if its completely obvious that he's not going to listen and he's gonna do it anyway, do yóur best to educate him at the very least.
I'm 19 and I know I shouldn't take aas, but I really don't give a fuck and I'm going ahead with it anyway. Its just the “I'm young and invincible” thing us kids got going through our heads
 
i can't really get him not too, and i'd feel like a hypocrite if i told our 'rents lol, i'll just tell him to wait or get him to use something safer, i suppose.


eh, sounds kind of expensive considering the PCT to follow it up and all, i got the SD bottle for free from a friend anyway, heard it'll be illegal sometime this year, too. i've been getting some decent results from the GHRP-2 anyway, and i just bought a box of 100 slin pins, so i think i'll finish it off (and some MGF i just bought a week or so ago) before i delve any deeper into the anabolics.

IMO a 16 yo male using testosterone or other steroids is closer to an 8yo using LSD than a 11yo using marijuana or a 14yo using cocaine IMO.

It's a little like a boy genius, whose brain is still developing, taking stupid pills. It's completely counterproductive and can cause real long term and irreversable damage.

If I were you, and I loved my little bro, I would do research (like medical studies) on the impact of steroids on teen males whose HPTA, brain/body, hormonal development and give all that to him. I would also do reasearch on the basics of proper nutrition and body building and provide all that to him.

Use the power of your relationship with him as his older brother to guide him towards getting less of an instant gratification plan and more of a long term success plan. This means straight up gym work and a dialed in diet (with offers to assist him along the way) so he can be pretty jacked by the age 19 anyway. And he will have the knowledge that no one his age (accept those getting professional advice) gets. Help him understand by laying a foundation this way, when he hits 21 he will have the best body out of anyone he knows anyway, and then when he turns to testosterone he will be quickly turning into a jacked mo fo.

At 16 he's fucking himself bigtime, WAY more than someone who waits until even 18 or 19. WAY MORE. But you need to offer him a solid alternative that makes sense TO HIM. To the extent you can partner up with him in following that plan (doing the nutrition piece together even if you don't lay off the stuff yourself) it will also prob serve as motivation.

I have a son less than 1 yo. I won't stand in his way of using juice when he's 25. I already have him on an exercize program. But it will be nutrition, streaching, age appropriate exercize. If he's interested in getting the type of body that chicks dig, and I assume he will be, I will be there to help him. No one is more motivated to help another than a father is to help his son. But it's my job to guide him with safety being the priority. If weight lifting interests him he will be jacked by Sr yr in high school with no drugs and minimial to no supplements (maybe something like vitamins, will have to let dr's be the one's who decide if any supplements like a multi v in additioin to proper nutition is better than just proper nutrition for a male in high school, it's over a decade away so not relevant).

What is relevant is family. And that bond. And the responsibility that comes with it. You don't need steroids to have the body of a muscular (not a lean underwear model) model.

Keep him away. There are things you can do, but you must show him a BETTER way, and help him walk that path. Saying "no' does not work.

+1 brilliant post titus hit the nail right on the head.
You need to somehow lead him away from the choice of taking steroids without as titus said “saying NO”. To someone his age, no means yes, actually it means more than yes, it means - fuck this could be good for me and people are telling me not to, ill get a nice wee thrill out of disregarding everything everyone says and doing my own thing because I wanna be independant. I know this because I was that age 3 years ago and still to this day I'm nearly 20 and I still love not taking advice even if I know its for the worst.

Again as titus said, try to lead him down a different path, perhaps creatine, glutamine, proteins, vitamins... You get the point...

I wouldn't go down the path of trying to get him to change his diet and focous on that because let's be honest, a 16 year old child is not gonna wanna stop eating his favourite junk food and will in no way be disciplined enough to stay on a good diet.

Give him some brotherly love, if there's one person a 16 year old boy will look up to and look to for advice (apart from crowds of boys his own age) is his older brother.

Excellent follow up post my brother. I'm too old and missed the diet piece you grabbed onto. Now the OP has a guide, he has to decide if the investment in time and energy in such a plan is worth it to him. Let us know please.
 
I got a friend that started AAS when he was 16. He got a nasty case of gyno, quit AAS and now he's as small as he was before, but with gyno.

I've never seen anything positive come from starting that young.
 
Well now the OP has good direction, the question becomes is he invested enough. I woudln't be surprised if he isnt as there are a fuck ton of parents who don't have that type of investment in their own children, let alone a young guy trying to live a busy life, get by himself, and probably have some fun as well.... so I can't judge.

But I think it is def doable.
 
At 16 he still has his best natural testosterone levels ahead of him for years. Once he stops growing taller, he'll start growing wider and bigger - like we all do - and that's when not overtraining, eating protein 6-8 times per day, resting, and learning about what routines and modifications work best for you give result in great gains. The hard fact is that our horomones control our growth rate and direction. Once the body starts producing massive amounts of testosterone, the bone platelets close off preventing one from getting taller. So, basically he'll stunt his height growth for life by doing steriods at anytime before say 20. But id say its best to wait until you're 23 or older to start.
 
not condoning your 16 year old brother using steroids here... but i wanna see 1 study that says using steroids before your hpta system is fully developed will fuck you up for life. why wont it fuck your hpta when you're 25+?? i actually think the younger you are the better chance you will have at recovering, not to mention much faster. hormone imbalances happen all the time during puberty and ur body works it out so why wont it be able to work it out again? hdrol is shit btw

i think i'll just show him this post right here when he drops by! thanks a lot bro :)

and yeah, i've tried doing some research but i can't find many unbiased factual sources, i'll keep digging though!

When he does swing by, the best way to approach the situation would not be to say - read this you shouldn't take steroids. The best thing to say would be something along the lines of - yo bro I think you should read this, acting as if you don't really care. This prevents him feeling that your trying to make him not do it.
Do his friends juice?

yeah, i know what you mean. and no, i'm in a painfully small town where no one even works out, and the only way to get your hands on gear here is by making a trip across the border (border town). i think i'll just settle this by throwing the SD away, it was a free bottle anyway and i don't want to risk messing with my LDL which is already low enough...
