Whether you are either young or a bodybuilding novice, it is crucial that this be read before you reach a decision that can and will alter the rest of your life. So the big question is are you too young? Well in response to numerous e-mails on Cycles from youngsters, I decided to write this article. Here are a few examples of their e-mails.

“Is 16 too young to begin my first AS cycle? My friend advised me to start off with sus, nandrolone and dianabol. He also suggested anadrol although it is expensive. What kind of cycle would you advise and how should it be administered?” “I have decided to start taking steroids. I know I am a young 17 year old, but consider myself to have reached my genetic potential. My goal is to increase muscle size and lose some body fat but without getting too massive.”

I think the time has come for me to start with a Naposim cycle, so could you tell me how to structure it and if there is anything else that complements it well. I would rather stick to oral applications as I still live with my parents, who wouldn’t approve of injectables. Could you also inform me about possible secondary effects such as aggressive behavior and acne as I wouldn’t like my friends at school to notice.

These are just a few examples. Sadly the people who wrote these and the like have usually already made their minds up to take steroids. They only ask opinions in hope that someone else will agree to this madness and only listen to other like minded youngsters who agree with them. I have spent hours trying to help these people but more often than not my advice is ignored.

Should you either be a bodybuilding novice or of young age, I would say PLEASE read this before arriving at an extremely important decision in your life. I just hope that this article reaches someone in this position, so that they can make an informed decision and I for one would be a very happy man.

It is pretty much common knowledge nowadays that most serious athletes and bodybuilders use steroids and other performance enhancing drugs to help them achieve their goals. They do work but also have very serious side effects if taken incorrectly, especially at a young age. Since the 80′s drugs have been exposed much more by the media and the arrival of the internet has opened new doors for people to get the information that they need.

Although there is some informative info out there, there is also a lot of BS which is easily accessible to youngsters who are always too keen to get on with it. Kids as young as 13 are already taking the stuff and 15 year olds are giving out cycle advice on the net. The only cycle I new about when I was that age was a mountain bike.

“As teenagers, boys naturally have high testosterone levels anyway, hence we see growth spurts at that age in males.” “Taking exogenous anabolic steroids and other hormones at an early age can play absolute havoc in the body during this crucial time of development.” (Dont miss part 2)
