I'm 19 and have done several cycles. As for the issue with height, I believe that it is true that you're done growing at this age--you might gain 1 more inch if you didn't go on shit--but that's assuming that gear stunts growth. I know many guys that started juicin around age 15 and continued to grow taller until 18. I've gained about 1 inch since I started. In a biography about Arnold (written by some woman--don't know her name)--its reported that Arnie started taking MASSIVE doses of d-bol at age 13. The author said that he "used to take so much steroids that the other bodybuilders (grown men) were frightened" Whether or not that's true--I don't know. But I do know that if he started taking shit at age 13-he certainly did grow beyond that point. He wasn't 6 foot tall at that age. As for hair loss--many people experience different things with that. Here's what I think: If you're genetically predisposed to losing hair, gear will speed that process up (making you bald at age 22 instead of say, 30 as an example)...but many guys I know take 3 grams of shit a week on top of 3 anadrols a day and they have thick ass, full hair--but then again, i know guys who do that that have fuzzy remains of hair that resemble a newborn baby's. As for what the media/news/...warnings about steroids from the government...say about side effects of steroids..I don't think you can entirely trust what they say. You have to take into consideration that their info. is more than likely biased to satisfy some kind of politically correct criterio...yes its true that testes atrophy while on, bp goes up, orals are bad on the liver, and etc..but the intensity of these side effects depends upon the individual...As one person once put it, its like "rolling the metabolic dice"---you could wind up getting snake eyes or walking away fine. With me, I know my hair has started to fall out...I think it was going to happen later on in life, but at 19--it kind of sucks. I mean, you can't tell that i'm balding...but it a couple years i will have a receeding hairline. So, if you're not willing to accept the consequences of hairloss or whatever...just don't do shit. As for orals...i took Winny IP 50 mg tabs for two weeks before my show a year ago and shortly after had my liver enzyme levels checked...they were more than fine. Just some stuff for you to think about.
Estrogen closes the plates, proven. Arimidex has been prescribed to help kids grow taller.
Gear in theory will temporarily cause a growth spurt from my reading, but will close those plates fast with any aromitization. I can point out one big and ripped gear user I knew in high school, and he was only around 5 foot at 18 years old.
Normal? I think not since his parents towered over him.
