I would find a phased program if I were you. Doing 4-6 weeks with heavy weight which is considered 1-6 reps followed by 4-6 week phases of higher reps 8-12 in order to keep the body from plateauing.By lifting heavy, do you mean stuff under your 5 RM? For instance, on the bench, I can do 195 for 6, and my goal is 195 for 8. Once I hit 195 for 8, I plan to move up to 205 for 8, which has worked well for me. I remember one week, I benched 175 for 6, then my next workout I miraculously hit 185 for 8, I was amazed how my bench went up 10 pounds and 2 reps in a matter of days.
I also got advice from an adult at the gym who told me a nice trick to increase my bench was to do dumbbell presses, so I could strengthen each side, which makes sense, so I am currently not flat benching, and working on making my one chest/tricep as strong as the other. My last workout I did 75 on each arm for 8, so my next goal is to bump it up to 80 on each arm, and get 8 reps.
Stretch marks, "got to get rid of them"?! You should be proud of them and look at them as a "right of passage". It's proof you are growing.I do eat a lot, I started lifting around May, and over the summer I went from around 156 to 185 pounds, and currently weigh 192, my height is also 5'10. I grew so much over the summer, I got those dang stretch marks on both shoulders, gotta' get rid of em'. Also, it's just the temptation, Paul got massive, and the kid even rumored to me that he could bench in the 300s. However what made me question if he just took boosters was the size of his traps, they looked really overdeveloped, and I know people that use PES do have bigger traps.
Any other words of advice from you vets out there?
They won't work. You are not going to boost your test levels any high than they already are. There will be no positive or negative side effects. The results you are hearing are placebo.By not worth it, do you mean not worth it as in it will have no effects, or the positives won't be worth the negatives? I hear stories of teens getting good results with test boosters, so why does the answer that concludes them ineffective in teens often contradict people's "results" with them?
When I was in high school I started getting stretch marks on my arms and chest. I bought cocoa butter and rubbed it in to get rid of them. Did absolutely nothing. The stretch marks just kept growing and growing the more I worked out. The muscle is definitely worth the stretch marks!Stretch marks, "got to get rid of them"?!

Keep doing what you are doing, forget about the "test boosters", and use the money for protein instead.
Not including "test boosters" that actually contain PHs or DSs, the most common side effect of "test boosters" are monetary catabolism and wallet atrophy..."not worth it" as in doesn't work at any age really not as in they work but lots of side effects. They're lots of discussions here on AM about the value of test boosters. Sure, maybe for guys with really low T to help with sex drive or maybe from loosing muscle but not for most guys and certainly not for someone young. IF they increased your T even a few more points you are not going to notice an effect.By not worth it, do you mean not worth it as in it will have no effects, or the positives won't be worth the negatives?

Now, in terms of "real world results?" Never underestimate the power of placebo! Again, assuming the stories you're hearing about other teens do not include PH, DS, AAS, I guarantee that any additional "gains" they're getting from a test booster are placebo. (e.g. your expecting more T, therefore you feel more aggressive, therefore tou train with more intensity, etc.)
Stick around on AM. Lots of wise men and women here to learn from. Many you've already heard from.
Cheers.
I'm not an MD and even if I were, impossible to give you an answer without more information. All I can say is the probability some will have complications later is higher than someone who did not use PHs, AASs. Now, don't go and scare the $#!+ out of your friend. Just encourage him down a different path.Do you think, if Paul did take PHs and stuff, that in the future he will have problems?
Teenage hormones are all out of whack. The only way you're going to know your estradiol and test is to get blood work done. But regardless, I don't think your estrogen levels at your age should be that high. Typically, when you go through puberty, hormone imbalances may occur where you have too much estrogen, but that is usually fixed on its own over a short period of time I believe. Therefore, even the OTC anti-estrogen properties aren't really going to do that much for you - if anything. Now, if you are referring to a legit aromatase inhibitor like aromasin, maybe that would have an impact on raising your test levels. But that's assuming you can increase your natural testosterone levels higher than they already are. But now we are getting into illegal stuff with real side effects.As I've been researching test boosters for two months, here is my hypothesis if you may...I don't necessarily think it's the test boosting properties that give teens results, I think it's the estrogen blocking properties. I've heard that since teenagers have high test, their estrogen is up there too, and estrogen is referred to as anti-test. It might be a lot more dangerous, but I theorize an aromatase inhibitor would do more for a teen than a natural test booster, any thoughts?
There is only one way to find out and that is to keep doing what you are doing. If you get fat you'll have your answer, but I guarantee you'll gain muscle in the process.Thanks for the answers so far, keep em' coming, they are actually starting to motivate me to work even harder. Anyways, still looking for an answer if you can over-eat as a teen. For instance, I'll stuff my face at dinner, get full, then an hour or two later, get hungry again, and want to eat. Is this okay? Or will it make me gain fat?
You can still get fat but you have more leeway. Basically, just be a 16 year old kid. Don't be the kid who can't eat pizza with his friends because you're cutting. As long as you are working out hard you're going to need to feed those muscles. If you sit around all day and eat ice cream then you'll get fat. Workout hard and eat and you'll be good. If you feel like you're getting fat then go out for a run or cut back a little. Just listen to your body.I feel like I won't gain too much fat though, for three reasons, one, I am a growing boy, two I use the calories for muscle building, and three, I feel like if the body is saying it needs more food, then it needs for food, and will most likely not gain fat too quickly.
Yep. That's my logic also.I feel like I won't gain too much fat though, for three reasons, one, I am a growing boy, two I use the calories for muscle building, and three, I feel like if the body is saying it needs more food, then it needs for food, and will most likely not gain fat too quickly.
