Average testosterone levels in men increase up to about the age of 25 before they slowly start to drop. This is an accepted fact in the medical world.
When you take steroids at 20 you shut down part of your endocrine system that is still developing. By suppressing glands/organs while they are trying to develop you can only do harm, and you can stop your body from reaching it's peak natural test levels.
Then there is the growth plates issue. Guys who do in particular aromatising steroids before their growth plates have fused run the risk of prematurely fusing the growth plates which means you could end up shorter than you should, or have smaller hands or smaller shoulders than they would have potentially had. Studies have even shown that by taking AIs to block estrogen, teenagers can surpass their predicted final height and speed up growth. Elevated estrogen fuses growth plates which otherwise might only close at 21.

@Motivated Yep
I know my post was a bit overboard. Just trying to make guys aware before they make a big decision. Realistically I don't expect people to wait until they are 25, and in all likelihood a regular dbol/test cycle with a proper PCT will be fine but it doesn't ever stop there. I'd say if you're 21/22 and want to do steroids, train AND eat properly for at least a year first before you decide and I would suggest a blood test first to check your hormones.

Thanks Muscleaddict.
I must agree this should not be taken likely and I have picked up so much on this site over the last few months.

Okay guys so have been following my diet very well and current weight 88.7kg... My 6pack still shows without flexing so i guess bf still at around 12%... I'm ecstatic to be honest. I eat like an elephant.
This means that in a bit more than a month I have gone from 82kg to 88.7kg
