OLDGENS GTFIH

Respectfully, this is a bad idea at 18. I know you're going to do what youre going to do, regardless. Read, a lot, and consider the people giving you advice- are they other young people with no real experience? Or are they old guys that have been there done that?

Big trve. There are (many) people on here who really know their stuff and have walked the walk. Some people sadly only walked the walk and learned very little from it *cough the one guy who said primo doesnt lower E2 in ANYONE cough* *the one guy who has been pinning for 15 years and still doesnt disinfect injection sites or vials*

im not gonna run my first cycle until im older.

regardless i understand the risks and i accept them

you should also take into account that your brain is not at its full capacity for understanding the risks, or accepting them. in the strictest sense; it is not currently possible for you to be full cognizant of the risks, nor to truly accept them due to that deficiency.

Its not bc you're stupid, its bc your brain is genuinely not fully developed, and I would also add that your personality and worldview is also not "fully developed" (obviously this intangible thing is ever-changing and amorphous but for the most part it is in its infancy as a very young adult and quickly materializes into something more cohesive as you approach your late twenties)

make sure you leave room to change your mind by 22.

as for adding compounds slowly; its always response and safety. if you start 3 compounds on monday and start getting a rash on wednesday, which thing caused it? not to mention that literally everything in the ped-sphere is derived from the one mother hormone--testosterone--and you'll see this mantra repeated over and over: test is best.

so it usually makes the most sense to do test only for a first cycle.

disclaimer: i have never cycled and am currently on endocrinologist-prescribed trt.

big.
the entire message but especially this. If it is change in regards to when to start, what to use, if it is even wise to use.
