18 yr old taking testosterone booster?

Hello, I'm 18 years old, 150 lbs, 5'8" (have stayed the same height since freshman year). Have been lifting seriously for approximately a year and a half. Currently I'm taking Animal Pak one serving a day, Optimum 100% Whey Gold Standard 1-2 servings a day, Omega-3 Fat 2-3 grams a day, and have just finished my second bottle of Sci-Fit Kre-Alkalyn brand creatine about 4-5 grams a day. I don't really max out anything but bench but put up 240 the other day.

Before I get flamed for being like 90% of other teens who skip nutrition, I drink 1-1.5 gallons a day. I eat 4-5 MEALS (not snacks) a day all very low-fat, protein filled and with complex carbohydrates.

My question is would it be considered dangerous to begin taking Vyo-tech 17HD (sampled twice and had some of the best workouts in my life), or 17-hydroxy mesterone. They are the same thing, aren't they? I also plan to take Hydroxycut Hardcore for a couple weeks, though I know I am cut, to help sculpt the finishing touches to the abs.

Any advice?

No! Do Not Take Any Test Boosters Untill You Are At Least 21!

why would you want to take a testosterone booster under 21?

Just wait a few years. For now, take all the creatine, multi's, and fish oils you could ever want.

Dangerous? Likely not.

Useless? Absolutely.

And by the way (follow me here), 17-HD has a stimulant effect. If you take it with Hydroxycut Hardcore, I doubt you'll sleep.

And lack of sleep will lower your test.

So, this stack will lower your test not raise it.

ok ok, you've convinced me. though i might add it is tempting, i think i'll just stick to my current supps, though probably will switch to a CEE out of curiosity..

thanks.

CEE should be fine (keep drinking lots of water). Good luck with it!

Exactly. Good advice right there...

yeh... dont be in a rush to be massive.. your only 18...in 2-3 yrs youll be awesome...

not worth the health risks later on!!

keep it up!

Good choice on waiting. At 18 your body is at its peak for test and probably the highest metabolism it will achieve. Sounds like you understand the basics for good nutrition so keep it up.

Words of wisdom

Very good choice man.

You didn't really indicate the kind of gains in size that you've been making on your current plan. I think the problem with teenagers is that sometimes they have a hard time gaining mass and assume that its a test problem, which it usually isn't. Generally hard gaining at your age is due to your fast metabolism, which just means that you need to take in more calories-- of the proper kind, of course. Taking testosterone boosters at your age runs much too great a risk of screwing up your natural production permanently. The CEE is also not a bad idea. Otherwise, it sounds like you're already doing the right things. You may just need larger quantities of protein and calories.

im 25 and dont see a reason why i should even take a test booster

No need to as your test levels are currently VERY high, not going to do anything really, shouldnt cause any harm (although im not totally sure) neverthless but it is absolutely worthless and you would be better spending money on food or basic supplementation (whey, multi-vit, amino acids)

As someone who used a lot of worthless test boosters as an 17-18 year old, please take my advice.

None of these products will be worthwhile. Great points by jag. When i wasn't gaining, i blamed it on test levels. I should've blamed it on not eating enough.

Bump, so that I don't have to keep repeating myself in these threads.

Why would anyone over 21 want to take one?? They don't work.

That's not true, in your mid to late 30s test levels decrease. Tribulus at the right dose helps to offset this. A guy (about 40) at my gym had bloodtest done before and after adding trib, and his test levels rose about 15%. This may not seem like a lot to us younguns but it's all the difference to those with decreasing test levels.

wanna test booster...squat heavy.

I'm 39 so don't preach at me. Trib is a scam.

not sure if this was covered yet, but that could be a problem.

Oh, did I mention my father takes trib? He's 45. He's been lifting for 30 years, he knows his body inside and out and takes tribulus pre-workout and has a noticable boost. Don't preach to me that it doesn't work, take the RIGHT dosages and it does.

And what is the [U]RIGHT dosage[/u]? All 120 pills?!

Anyways this whole topic is an 18 yr. old wanting to take crap like tribulus and other test boosters, it's a simple NO - End of discussion!
