What age did you start at?

[ape1nope]

Started gear 10 yrs ago @ 24. Always athletic before that…track, baseball, swimming, water polo, general strength training from early age.

As i look back to the early years of gear, my biggest mistake (or shortfall) was diet…not eating enough. My understanding of diet’s role was lacking. I’d be much farther along if i understood what i know now.

Don't regret the gear…i regret my general lack of dietary knowledge.

What age did you guys start and what age would you recommend someone to start using steroids?(considering he already has it set in his mindset that he will use steroids.)
P.S: tried looking for threads like this but couldn't find one, sorry if there's already one like that.

23 after 2 years competing and I’m still at it 20 years. Later bc I waited imo no sooner than 21 and not until you’ve hit your genetic limits

I started at 19, I prob would not recommend someone to start before 30.
However, it's hard to preach what I didn't practice myself.

I was 33

18. Exactly what I desired at that time and took me through my college years jacked. Looking back I wouldn't change a thing. Been a part of what I do for 30 years now, just a bit smarter about training, diet, gear at this point.

23 the first time, worked out and researched fir 10 years before that. I’m 40 now and bigger and better than ever.

Same here cept a tad older, I think waiting, maybe not 10 years, but getting at least 5 years in the gym 2-3 at hardcore makes for better career. Yea I know Branch and Jay are Teen Nationals guys who’ve aged great but they are in the genetic .01% and Branch has had some gnarly injuries.

if you dont 100% do your research, i'd say after you are positive you aren't having more kids. research is the most important thing with anything you are considering taking.
