sup fellas, im fairly new to this site, iv been reading topics here and there, but i decided to sign up and tell you guys what i think about steroids or prohormones from someone who is 17. i was very tempted to touch this stuff, real bad, especially since my friends were doing it, seemed like a good enough reason to try it lol. but after doing some research and all the possible side effects, i desided why it is not healthy or good for us teenagers... the main reson for taking roids is to boost up our test levels to levels that out bodies have not ever reached, doing that causes 2 things, muscle, and a lot of problems while we are still going threw puberty..what could happen is this:

_______
-loss of hair
-anger issues
-low t levels
-stunded growth
-acne like no other
-shrinkage of balls
-**** tits
-hearth and liver problems

and so much more, i dont even know at the top of my head lol

here is what really caught my attention and made me think twice about doing roids...
Our test levels are so high already it is like we are on roids, it basicly all comes down to how we eat, our daily nutrition..if you are not eating properly, then dont even go to the gym..simple as that. anywase, our t-levels are skyrocketing high, so high that we get acne, anger issues, want to eat more, etc...same effects as roids.(almost) now if we were to take roids our t levels would go to high, and would potentialy shut down our production of Test..basicly meaning good luck with the ladies lol. TEENAGERS TEST LEVELS ARE WERE GROWN ADULTS TEST LEVELS WANT TO BE AT, so what do those "grown adults" do? take roids to get to our level. so stop debating if you want to do roids, if anything, wait till your 21, for the time being, go to the gym, take a health class and learn about nutrition. you will be surprised what a lil patience, hard work, and a good diet would do for you..you will build muscle like no other and feel great about yourself.. my two cents...goodluck.

 
(my friend was on roids, and his test production is completly shut off becuase of it.. he just ruined his life @ age 17 becuase he wanted 20lbs of muscle. not worth it imo)

I personally think that the only way you should train is supplement free, apart from whey protein and a diet filled with healthy foods.   I personally think that if you are going to use steroids, why don't you just cheat at everything else in life?  It is much more beneficial to your health to have naturally attained muscle mass and is so much more pleasing to be able to say that your results were from hard work, good nutrition and self discipline than from a syringe.

Learn how to:

train correctly, train enough, but not too much.  Find good resources on how to do the correct form for the lifts you plan on doing, and on how to set up a training schedule.  Start off slow and do not do anything that you are absolutely sure you know that you are doing it right.  I personally think that unless you are advanced anymore than 4 times of weight training a week is counterproductive and puts you in danger of overtraining.  Any less than two from what I have heard may just maintain or slow muscular degeneration.

eat 4-6 moderate sized meals a day that are balanced on the macronutrient level.  More meals = less hungry, more even spread of nutrients throughout the day.

Good guideline for protein/fat/carb intake =
.6 -.9g protein per pound of weight, unless you are very overweight
Have lean, complete proteins like chicken, turkey, roast beef, salmon, milk, dairy.  Protein from other sources is commonly incomplete protein meaning that it is missing some of the 20 amino acids in it.  So to get the full benefit, you would ahve to combine certain foods that are missing different amino acids to make up for it.  If you are a vegetarian, this is how you should get your protein.

my personal opinion based on some figures of 25-30% (one of which from danmirage) dietary intake from fat
the rest of your calories should be from high quality complex carbohydrates such as:
potatoes
whole wheat or multi-grain pasta
whole wheat or multi-grain rice
whole wheat or multi-grain bread (minimally processed, and have more food like rice or pasta than bread)
oatmeal
whole wheat or multi-grain cereal (avoid processed kinds, or at least ones that are highly processed)
flaxseed meal
beans
nuts
vegetables
not a complex carb but, fruits (limit if you are trying to gain weight or stay very lean)

Avoid or highly limit:
foods with soybean, sunflower, safflower or corn oil.
sugar.  Most foods have sugar in them already, even if the manufacturer hasn't added any extra.  Most packaged foods have some sugar added. 

So if you think because you don't actually get a funnel and eat pure cane sugar or eat sugar coated chocolate cereal balls for breakfast you do not get much sugar think again.

Alcohol.  I don't drink the stuff, but it is a worthless source of calories.  Totally worthless.

Processed foods.  Always opt for minimally processed or whole foods.  Whole foods would be foods that are in their basic form like potatoes.  You go out into a field and pick up a potato, you can (probably) eat it right after you clean it. 

If you must, have a small meal once a week of whatever junk you choose.  Personally I have about 200 calories a week of ice cream or a candy bar, and never on lifting days.  Sodas are too bad for health in my opinion to ever have them.  I stopped drinking them and my heart rate dropped about 10 bpm Smile

If you want you can put flaxseed meal in some of your foods to get those omega 3 fatty acids so many of us do not have.  Many studies show that having a more balanced omega 6 fat (fat in beef, poultry, eggs, grains, pretty much everything we eat (I am a U.S. citizen)) to omega 3 fat (fish, flaxseed, walnuts) ratio is great for a variety of ailments and even helpful in reducing your cholesterol, risk of heart disease, etc.

A good bit of what I know comes from danmirage (thanks Dan) and most of the rest is from other sources (for instance, New Rules of Lifting).  Some things I believe from experience (although I have put very little to none of that info in this post).

I find it funny how steroids, or test boosters in general are shamed upon now because of a few idiots who didn't cycle and ****ed themselves up good. I personally would prefer to never use them, but if used correctly, they could be a great plateau breaker in my opinion.
