My experience with PED's at 15 years old
I was 15 at the time of this cycle. I simply want to share my experience and how it affected me. I am NOT condoning PED usage, especially for those still developing. I got blood work done prior to this cycle. I was in great health, except for my testosterone levels. My total testosterone level was 285ng/dl. I decided to do something about the testosterone levels since neither my family doctor nor endocrinologist would.
I asked around a couple discord communities and I found a guy that went to a gym 20 minutes away from me. I got a day pass at that gym the following day and bought a vial of testosterone cypionate from him for $50. The following day, I bought 20 23g needles and syringes from amazon for $5.
Once I received my syringes and needles, I started my cycle of 250mg of testosterone cypionate weekly. I did once weekly injections into my delt, in which I alternated each week. In total, everything costed me roughly $60 to source.
During my cycle, I did not notice many side effects that I was told would happen. The only 2 side effects I noticed was slightly more heightened emotions (both positive and negative), and also water retention. I did not notice any gynecomastia, increase blood pressure, etc. I felt unstoppable. I felt a wave of cognitive clearness that I had never felt before. I felt smarter, stronger, confident, and overall just better. Life was better on testosterone.
After my 10 week cycle, I did not do a PCT. I definitely felt a shift a couple weeks after my last injection, where I felt weaker and more sluggish. After about two months, I returned to baseline. I retained almost all of my gained strength.
My starting stats:
5'10, 240lbs
Bench: 235lbs
Squat: 355lbs
Deadlift: 405lbs
At the end of the cycle:
5'10, 250lbs
Bench: 315lbs
Squat: 465lbs
Deadlift: 515lbs
