Teenage bodybuilders should completely artificial hormones such as injectable testosterone. Steroids are very useful ? once you?ve reached the age of 25 (at least) and have been training for 5 years consistently. Here are ten very good reasons why you should avoid them until then.

1. They are illegal. You should stop reading now unless you want to enter the legal system. This could very well result in you losing any college chance you have. Also, your employment options will be limited for the rest of your life with a nice felony drug charge sitting on your record. Be smart. Steroids are just a small tool that should be used later to help improve your quality of life and training. You don?t need them, nor the risk, quite yet.

2. Bloat. Yes, you?ll get it. And being so young, you will get it bad. Do you want the nickname ?Moon Face? to accompany you through the rest of high school? I didn?t think so.

3. Your testicles will shrink. This isn?t some anti-steroid propaganda designed to scare kids into avoiding them.

4. Your acne will be horrible. As if it?s not bad enough now. You will be a walking pockmark factory.

5.Your sexual drive may be hampered. Chances are, you are a raging 24/7 erection at your age. In five years, however, the use of steroids may leave you impotent. Want kids? Back off.

6. Go to google.com and type ?gyno? or ?Gynecomastia? into your search engine bar, and check out some picture. Perhaps you?d prefer the term ?man boobs?, or just simple, ?moobs?. There?s a very good chance, given your elevated level of testosterone and estrogen at your age, that you will develop a bad case of gyno. Good luck wearing that to the beach, my friend!

7. You testosterone levels are already through the roof. You just don?t need it. Plus, you may actually hamper gains, as your body?s own natural testosterone is much safer and more effective than anything that comes in a vial of oil from China.

8. Speak of the devil, there?s a 40% chance that any steroid you open from overseas is a fake. You like those odds, junior? You have no clue what you?re shooting into your body. You probably wouldn?t drink from a glass that a stranger gives you at a party. Suddenly you will accept a package from some guy in China that you?ll never meet, and you?ll shoot that oil into your body. Are. You. Crazy?

9. Hair loss. Yes, it?ll happen to you. Your lovely locks of hair look great. But you?ll have a receding hairline like your Uncle Joe in about six months, should you choose to dabble in steroids. Is it worth it to you?

10. It?s cheating. Do you play sports? Do you plan on playing at the collegiate level? They know the signs of AAS use from a mile away. They will test you, you will fail, and your athletic career will be over. Or, you?ll quit just in time and be a very average athlete as you were dependent upon steroids for so long.
