At what age did you start to use AAS?
- Thread starter Taureau
- Start date
Started at 27yrs old. I probably started a bit early in terms of having diet and training 100% in check but my persuit of size had stopped in its tracks. My 1st cycle3 was 100 eod of prop as I wanted to judge my potential for sides, after 8 weeks I added 400mgs deca to the mix and started to blow up from there. Knowing what I know now I think I still did the cycle correctly aside from not having a perfect grasp of training and nutrition.
Started in my early 30s
Was feeling like shit, libido was on the decline, started hearing more and more about Low-T
Knew some guys on the rigs that ran gear. I asked them to get me a bottle of Test. Started pinning self-prescribed TRT. Gradually felt better, decided to get into the gym.
After more and more research I decided to kick it up to 500mg/wk and do my first cycle.
Got into the best shape of my life and felt like a million bucks.
I feel like I made well informed decisions. I don’t regret anything.

I started in my 40's really uninformed and stubborn and didn't listen to anyone or the advice I was given if I could turn back time I would have changed that. But with the help of some of the guys I've met here I'm making better decisions and I'm on the less is more principle and it's working for me. I just wanted to feel and look better.
Started at 18 and continued to cycle vet test suspension and vet EQ 1 or 2 cycles per year for the next 7 years. Never any blood work, no PCT, etc. Each year got incrementally bigger and stronger. Through my late 20s, 30s and early 40s gradually down sized and focused on being a good athlete. Started Dr prescribed TRT at 42
Would I have done it differently...yes
Any regrets...no
All those experiences have formed who I am now.

Started at 42 when I found it very difficult to drag my safety pool cover to the shed.
I should have maybe trained for a while first because I had not really lifted a weight for over 20 years, look really dad bod, lol.
Anyhow no regrets.
I should have never ran tren and that I should have been a lot more consistent at training and diet from the start instead of just the last year. I used the gear to keep my gains at higher doses year round.
I still really don't know what the hell I'm doing, but its working and I keep getting bigger and leaner

Think I was 33
Mid 20's I did a couple cycles as friends were into it and they hooked me up with gear for bike work. Stopped working out and gear for 8+ years or so cuz I really got into motorbikes (stunting and racing) and I also lost a lot of weight because weighing less made it a lot easier to do what I was doing.
Fast forward to mid 30's. Ive got 2 kids so thats done, and I was doing a bit of drinking so I cut that out and started working out again. Putting on a bit of weight, albeit slowly, and still feeling in the dumps. The feeling reminded me of coming off cycle all those years ago, and so I finally got checked out and got a low T diagnosis. I was using GH at the time as a sleep aid for insomnea (which worked well) and so I emailed my rep asking if he had AAS as I had a feeling TRT would be an uphill battle with my Dr.
I had it in hand in no time, and I went back to the Dr to talk about my results, and TRT. The answer was No because apparantly I was still in the 'normal' range. I didnt press the matter. I went home and pinned some Test and Ive been blasting/cruising since.
My only regret is taking all those years off. But I'm catching up slowly.

TRT at 41, but didn't really stick to my dose after the first year when I started 200 mg a week. I didn't do a cycle until I was 53 when I felt my body was just getting achy from training. It was a basic test and deca cycle in hopes of getting rid of some of my knee pain. I found I responded well to the deca, but it did diddly for my knees.
I wanted to delve into PED's much earlier when I was in my 30's, but felt as long as I was teaching in a commercial club it would be slightly unethical. I didn't want my teen students to thnk I was using gear.

I was 22 and that was a long time ago. Back then you took what you could get as there wasn't much of a selection. So considering that I don't think I would have done anything differently regarding what I cycled. I could have waited a few more years I suppose but I was already a part of the bodybuilding sub-culture so my thinking then was it was all good.
I started at 34. Only had been training two years but in that first two years went from 170lbs struggling to bench 95lbs to a body weight of over 240lb (not so lean but not terrible) and benching 315 for reps. First cycle was only 8 weeks of 2cc per week each of test e and deca but was awesome. At time i first started, i had cut some fat and was sitting at 227lbs. Big traps, back etc. I got a new foreman at work and first day he asked me if id ever done a cycle. I said no. He asked if i wanted to cause he had some in his back pack. Lol I was nervous but bought some. It sat in my drawer for a few weeks then i tried it. I have no regrets.
Other than a short 3 month stint when i was about 20 in Calgary I didn't do anything until i was 46/47ish. Started with pro hormones first until I found a board that was more about steroids. Didn't really cycle for a couple years it was more about TRT which I have to say was life changing for me. I wouldn't change anything, I started when I needed it and it's been a fun run.
I was in my early 20's. Dont think I would change it other than I should have done more cycles when I was young and more crusing when I was old...lol. I've done way more gear in my 50's than I ever did in my 20's and 30's combined.
