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 start my first AS cycle? My buddy has recommended that I start out with sus, nandrolone and dianabol. He also says anadrol would be good too although they are quite expensive. What kind of cycle would you recommend and how should I take it?" "I have made up my mind to start on steroids. I know I am young at 17 but feel that I have reached my genetic potential. I just want to add some muscle size and lose some bodyfat but not get too massive."

I am hoping to start a cycle using Naposim. What way would you structure it and do you know of anything else I could take with it to help. I am not interested in injectables as they frighten me plus I still live with my parents so it would be kinda difficult for me, so am hoping to do an oral only cycle. Also do you think my friends at school will be able to tell ie. Will I get bad acne and get aggressive?"

These are just a couple of many examples, but unfortunately these people have normally already decided on starting to take steroids. They are just on a desperate mission to find other young people who think along the same lines as they do, and I have had to deal with numerous cases like this, although I often feel that my good advice is just ignored.

Whether you are a youngster or just bodybuilding novice, I would highly recommend reading this article before making the difficult decision of taking steroids. I would feel great job satisfaction, should this article reach just one person who would then be able to make an informed decision.

Nowadays it is almost common knowledge that the majority of serious bodybuilders as well as athletes use both steroids and performance enhancing drugs inorder to become the world's best. These drugs are effective but only if administered correctly, otherwise serious side effects will become apparent and especially at a young age. It was in the 80s when the press began to expose drug use and since the arrival of the internet information is more widely available.

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.

"When you are a teenager, boys will have a naturally high testosterone level anyway, which is why we see growth spurts at that age in males." "Taking exogenous anabolic steroids and other hormones too young can play absolute havoc in the body during this delicate time of development." (Dont miss part 2)
