Age when you started AAS?

[MR. BMJ]

I doubt i'll ever use them. Maybe some Smilax or something, which i heard some guys saying that it helps raise testosterone.

 

[T swol]

Started taking HGH and Arimidex at 13 and Testosterone at 19.

My nephew had to take gh as a young kid. It definitely helped him grow taller.

36 now, started at 29.

 

[BigLittleJoe2]

I did my first cycle 21 years ago at the age of 31. I didn't have a source so I used the test prop and fina cattle pellet conversion kit. Wow, that cycle was a doozy!

 

[Samson250]

At 25 I did a Big A approved Stealth Labs all included kit.

 

[bbxtreme]

22- I stupidly ran superdrol as my first compound. Everyone knew where to get gear BUT me. LOL.

Test and EQ at 25. Nothing from 26-30 and picked back up again with “real” cycles. No tren or compounds outside test and EQ, HGH or Insulin until 32, I’m 34 now.

I use to do the same. Although I'd jam 4ml in my ass before crossing the boarder. I'd go across again the next week.. rinse repeat.
Then I discovered internet based UGLs, RC companies, and THEN RAW suppliers.
I stayed floating between liquor store WU station to 'avoid detection'
Fake names and the days of secret question/answer.

Oh man I totally forgot about the secret question/answer days.

I got banned from WU for too many weird transactions lmao

First run was Epistane solo for 8 weeks. Realized that PCT was a shit idea, that oral-only cycles were a worse idea, and bought some test off of a cool old guy I met on a prohormone forum. 600mg/week.

Never looked back.

 

[1fst400]

Took M1T sold to me by a guy at a nutrition store. Told him I trained solid for 10+ years, ate above maintenance, with plenty of protein, but plateaued. He was like, “you need a prohormone.”

Boom, gained 15lbs in 2 weeks, thin skin, strength through the roof, but hardly slept. Told it was a prohormone, later found out it was AAS. I was 25 and didn’t know shit about PEDS, but soon learned through message boards that this was the strongest oral AAS sold OTC legally (at the time). This was 2003.

 

[Swifto]

19. Iraninan Test E 500mg/wk.

Had no clue what I was doing and had no business using AAS plus got bad acne/scarring.

Didnt use PEDs again for about 10 years.

Started.cycling to prep for my first show, a year later prepping for my second show (pic) I built a damn good base before ever touching the sauce so when I did eventually use it I had great growth.

 

[fisther69]

17..started training at 13..

It’s one of those deals where I don’t regret it, but I would have done things differently.

I say I don’t regret it because if I could go back in a Time Machine I would have never been able to talk 17 year old me out of it anyways..so, I would have just done it differently

Dude you’re only a year/year and a half on the sauce here?

Goddamn impressive, and speaks to your point about AAS being only one factor amongst many - sick physique, man. I’m the same age now as you are in this pic. Gives me a reality check about how there’s levels to this game.

 

[nothuman]

24 years old after 6 years of training naturally.

 

[Keefs]

My grandfather was an amateur bb. He gave me my first weight set when I was 13 and taught me a lot about lifting. I love that old guy! By the time I was 19, I was an all natural beast! I was 6’ weighed roughly 215, could bench 405 and dunk a basketball. I’m talking, two hand tomahawk slam off of a drop step! My legs were crazy powerful. I always thought people that took gear were just lazy and didn’t want to put in the work. Turns out you can only be a natural beast like that til about 25! Lol. I started with a test/deca cycle at 27.

[qbkilla]

I'll share that I'm the biggest idiot...19 in college... started with prohormones avant labs 1 test transdermal....then...750mg Iranian test e per week. Did some stupid stuff starting out abused AAS. Maybe starting high why I feel I don't respond...only use 400-500mg a week now. Although was a clown using too much at least I can have some dignity in knowing other than strategic weeks off I have never missed a training session over the years and can honestly say I have probably tracked my daily calories Ed for 20 years. But yeah I've fucked up with dosages and thinking the next best split or training style were secret vs what I've learned here..just train fucking hard and hit target muscle... split... volume... frequency...are the small rocks...train intense and hard.

Karachi or Nile? I remember I chose Iranian amps but later used sust, never omnas though. Had a good source for icns for a while but once they started getting faked switched to ugl.
