When did you make the jump from PHs/DS to more conventionable AAS

I done lots of research over the years on various oral and transdermal OTC PHs/DS and have myself a decent sized stash (multiple HD, SD, Pmag, Bola, 1androrx, etc) of many possible future cycles. But I have recently been doing a lot of research on what I will refer to as AAS, injectables, and other long banned compounds/products. I want to do your basic 12 weeks test e, with dbol kick start and aromsin (SP) with some HCG. But wont be able to do that until minimum a year (next summer).

I recognize that many PHs/DS are already infact steriods, thats not the issue, the issue is people getting there best results with longer, injection based cycles.

I was just generally wondering at what age people moved on from PHs/DS to the 'dark-side' of 'old school' AAS.

whats up bro, to be honest, ive never done any injectables but if you have access to them i would forsure do injectables rather then orals due to the fact the orals are more liver toxic. I believe most people do ph/ds due to the fact that they cant get a hold of gear. i dont think there is a age to jump from ph to injectables. but of course over 21 for any anabolics

At 26 when I got reliable sources and was able to make my own gear for pennies, literally.

I think I started when I was 26. I'm 29 in a couple of weeks.
One of the best decisions I have ever made. Haha.

Anyways, I never messed around with OTC supps (SuperDrol and all that mess). I jumped straight to the pin. That's how I dooz itz....

I waited till I was 30.
Avail of good gear sources played a big part too.

Allthough I did do the normal ph cycles none of them can compare to what Real test could do.

finally, I have been saying forever, even a moderate dosed test only cycle will be better gains than any prohormone, yes even superdrol, maybe just due to being able to run test longer, but still the gains are better. I cant stand the ph crowd thinking test is not very powerfull and just something to take to help with lethargy.

that being said, I have no problem with oral prohormones, some are very effective, or can be very mild on sides, but to say they are better than test drives me nuts.

thanks again!

I was 26 and it was more of me knowing I finally had a good foundation to work with. Best decision I've made for my body and I'll be back on in a month or so

I didn't touch a PH (Epi-Strong bridged into H-Drol) until I was 25 and a half. I started lifting when I was 13 for football and the following year is when I started seriously lifting - so 11 years of experience before I bothered with that and even then, I could have kept going without.

Has anyone ever tried to go to their doctor in order to get a private prescription for test e? I have heard of a couple of people who have done that successfully here in germany. You can then get your gear legally in the pharmacy and its definitely quality stuff, was thinking of trying this route sometime this winter...

lol, not unless you happen to find a "bro doctor" I can't see too many docs willing to put their license on the line like that

I understand what you are saying, but apparently it works quite well with some doctors if you tell them that you have your mind set on it and that the whole thing will be much more safe with pharmaceutical grade gear and accompaniment / support of the doc. I was also talking about a private prescription, meaning that your health insurance won't be asking any questions because you pay for everything yourself.

TRT is common all over the world. If you see a TRT doctor or urologist you can probably justify a script, especially if he's pro AAS and you can provide a blood sample with depressed test levels.

If you have a valid prescription from your doctor, your insurance will not question it.

To the original poster. Never before 25 because of the possibility of early closure of the growth plates. Some men still get growth spurts after 21.

so if you inject test a for 6 weeks and gain 15lbs, it will be different than if you ran epistane for 6 weeks and gained 15lbs?

i'd like someone to please explain this to me from a data based perspective.

The only benefit I see is being able to run.3-4 months cycle. That said, I never was impressed.by test. I see.it as a base and for other properties besides weight gain.

that said I use aas only for curting these days, so whatt ibuse greatly depends on how the aas interacts. Personally SD does/did a great job so far better than winstrol...

Still dont understand how some ppl gaim 20+ from.test....

Its funny that people don't realize with long ester compounds, you are only really "on" for 6-8 weeks, and the time beyond that is just increasing sides, like hpta suppression. Can't count the first 3-4 weeks on long ester compounds, cycle doesn't start until you reach supraphysiological levels, well, unless you kick start with something like dbol or sdrol, but then still after 6-8 weeks is it, the next 2-4 weeks is just suppressing the hpta. And risking more sides.

as much as i value your knowledge jbryand, this is not entirely correct. supraphysiological doses even on long esters are achieved within days, sometimes hours.
granted, steady peak values take several weeks, but effective levels of androgens are achieved much faster.

Designers are a good into to the world of anabolics, but injectables are a whole different creature. It gives me a different kind of aggression, more potent and alpha male quality. Test gives me good clean energy, even helps when sleep deprived. Designers never did that for me.

started designers at 21, now I'm all about the injectables. And if you're smart with home brewing, injectables are cheaper then designers. $120 for 100g test powder, enough to run 500mg of test for 4 years straight and only cost $0.60 a week + cost of brewing supplies (~$30)

(I don't regret starting at 21, I'm a lifetime user now)

Age is a huge factor, but one's lifestyle is key. Some tools want to do the whole PH thing and do drugs and drink alcohol while cycling. I know people that pin test and drink everynight which leads to no gains. Others choose to stack bottles of PHs and end up with liver disease by 30. Aside from 1AD, I think prohormones are dangerous. People think that they are safer for some reason.

sad thing is you probably just made this up, because in few cases is it actually true. Of course there have been cases of damaged lives from oral steroids/prohormones, but it is a lot rarer than you would think. The biggest guys I know all go out and get skulled every weekend, including me hehe

ever since I've actually been able to enjoy life while looking amazing. Ie, I dont have to be anal about my diet, I drink, smoke, ect, get smashed at least once a week, and still maintain my obviosuly enhanced physique(my dose is 250mg a week while crusing).

The only thing that scares me is going abroad, I'm half french so go there every year to see my family, and luckily I can just take the ferry.

jasen what do you mean Hunger?? I'm never hungry anymore, ever :( feelsjohnbadman

My first cycle was epistane/bold right before I turned 21... Had NO idea what I was taking, the guy at the store I bought them from made em sound like a stronger test booster. I went through a few cycles before finding out what I was taking - after getting some weird results during a physical(hdl 6 ldl120). Did some research and started putting a lot more time between cycles. Did a 12 week bold/trenadrol cycle and a Tren/Mdrol cycle 7 months later before calling it quits for two years(both were pretty harsh). I decided I was ready to get back on about a month ago, started researching again and decided on Test/Dbol over Superbolin/Epibolin. I turn 25 in 2 days, and I kinda wish I hadnt taken so many cycles so early, and that store owners were more responsible when selling products. Then again I shoulda thought to have researched what I was taking.

That's a shame, but at least it explains why you are 5'8" instead of 6'2".

I agree. Designers are good for a while but injectables are in another league if their own. Not gonna lie I'm new to the injectable game I've only done 2 cycles so far I'm on my 3rd as of now and it's great. I still use what is left of my designers I have many bottles of Mdrol which I use to kickstart the test-e but once it is done I will eventually convert to Dbols or just use Sust or test-p and **** the kickstart

ahhh how do you figure??? if you run test e for 18wks, by wk 4-5 your seeing gains. All you need is a jumpstart and you golden

Yeah same stuff, thats why all the pros are getting jacked off running superdrol and epi gaining 15lbs at a time in 6 week spurts instead of running 1g of test and adding 100lbs to their bench. I just made the switch and ****ty designers dont even come close. I talked to alot of big guys at Europa show and other BB comps and they said they'd never touch those things. Kinda like pot and salvia. sure they both get you high. but salvia makes me puke and feel like **** while pot makes me feel happy and gives me an insane appetite. Designers give me so many sides for some weight gain and some strength gain then lose 50% of it, while a 16wk frontloaded test E cycle will add 100lbs to my bench and I feel wonderful and horny like crazy while keeping 80% at the end. Compare people on designers vs real gear... pretty clear cut imo

care to elaborate on that
Sure. You started using steroids at 19 causing premature closure of your growth plates. The very reason that steroids are NOT recommended to males under 21.
Many males have their final growth spurt between 19 and 23 years old and will grow 3 to 5 inches during that time. You are the poster child of why these boards do not recommend steroids to somone under 21.
Now when some overly eager young man comes on the board biting at the bit to start steroids immediately because he can't wait to get heeyouoooooooge, we can point to a member of this board as an example of why it is so important to wait.
Thank you for your honesty and your example.

I've been looking everywhere but I can't find any proof that steroids cause stunted growth. I trust its been preached like religion but it doesn't make sense that they use steroids to treat kids that don't go through puberty allowing them to grow. They don't stay the same height, they grow even tho they are on steroids which should stunt it. Help me out here with some hard evidence. I like deciphering between broscience and real science.

The medical community used to give high doses of estrogen to stunt tall girls growth. Estrogen fuses growth plates. Refine your search to estrogens effect on height and you will find plenty of information.
