@xdefexx Welcome bro. You’re a young athlete, I’d say AAS should really be a last resort. The conventional wisdom I got was wait till you’re 30 to step out of the natural path unless there’s a really legit medical reason. All the guys I grew up with who started taking PEDs in their late teens and early 20s are having problems now in their 30s. And if you spend the next 7-8 years getting as far as you can naturally the enhancement will go further and likely have a greater impact if and when you start.
 
Welcome aboard. @NeuroRN pretty much hit the mail on the head. You’re at 900 naturally? Just use that natural power to grow. Diet. Train. Water. Sleep. You will grow. No need to shut down what you got going. I would seriously wait till I was closer to 30 before boarding the AAS train at a minimum. 😁
 
Thank you all for the replies! I am glad my clickbait title drew attention. I promise to scale it back in future posts hahaha. Didn’t know how active y’all were on here.

@Poppy yes, I am on 30mg of lisinopril taken daily at night.

As far as my goals, I am currently just wanting to increase my strength and hypertrophy at this point. I am not considering taking PEDs this early on. I agree with the sentiment that my natty test is enough and my gains thus far are sufficient to me. I joined the forum to become involved with the community and learn so that if I decide to go to the dark side, I will know exactly how to do it for me.

I do have somewhat of an interest in competing in bodybuilding or other strength sports. However, I do not think I will consider PEDs until at least 315 bench, 405 squat, and 500 deadlift. I believe these benchmarks are certainly achievable for me naturally.
 
As far as PED use I’d look at your age as a big factor. Generally for males, the brain is not fully developed before 25 so the safest bet is to wait until then or later in that regard.

You seem to be good on the track your on, and have good achievable goals so I say stick with it 👍
 
@NeuroRN summed it up pretty well, great T levels and your super young, could grind out some awesome gains on that. That being said, you came to this forum for a reason which is a good thing because you picked a good place, if you decide you’re going to go that route, no ones gonna judge you and people will give you solid genuine info about doing it in the safest way possible. Personally, you seem pretty healthy overall I’m sure you’d bounce back fine. Especially if you minimize compounds and don’t use Tren or something right off the rip.
 
Welcome.Soon as I saw good read,I did not read it,stick around,absorb the knowledge,lotta good dudes here,not much of anything that cant be answered.Also just because everyone said your to young,and use your high natural test levels doesnt mean you cant run a simple test only cycle,so dont be afraid to ask questions about,because everyone that said that will still give you good,solid advice,if you chose to run a cycle.
 
Yes at that age. Now if he was an inspiring pro then I would understand early use but would have to see starting point to know weather that’s realistic goal or not
