they will raise your testosterone levels, making it easier for you body to synthesize protein(build muscle)

it would be an awful idea for you to even try them. you are too young, they are extremely harmful, and you are at a stage where you are still young enough that you can make awesome gains naturally.

dont mess with steroids.

What about testosterone boosters?.

What about testosterone boosters?.

If you're 15 years old, you have no need for anything like that. Your body is naturally producing enough testosterone at this stage of your life to give you great gains. If you eat smart and train smart, you will get huge in just a few months, guaranteed.

I just feel like i'm lacking in my testosterone levels

if you really think you have low testosterone levels then see your doctor and have him or her test your levels... if they are seriously low then they will prescribe steroids to you...but i doubt they will....just as everyone has talked about above your testosterone levels are at an optimal level and your muscle cells are still going through hyperplasia at 15...
as an article i read on ast-ss.com said if you want to create an enviornement for optimal test levels
1) get at least 7 hrs uninterupted sleep...
2)take post workout nutrition seriously
3) eat smart
4) train hard and heavy
5) get plenty of sleep
6) be consistent....
if you follow these rules then you may never need to take any prohormones or steroids....

DO NOT TAKE STEROIDS IF U ARE UNDER 25!!! At least ur body stops growing at this point and u wont be causing additional damage.

Is that a complete guess or is there a reason for you to think that?

Here's from the FAQ over at Bodybuilding.com:

1.I'm not yet 21, should I use steroids ?

HELL NO. Plain and simple. Steroids WILL, not may, WILL stunt your growth. They close the epiphysial plates in your bones and stop all possibility of attaining a greater height. Further more using steroids during puberty, when you are dealing with an already very unstable endocrine system can have severe consequences in the long run : Erectile dysfunction (impotence), loss of libido and even infertility ! I assume most men in their late teens and twenties hope to have children some day and lead a long and fulfilling sex life, so steroids before the age of 21 : NO ! Questions about steroids by teens may well be ignored.

hrmmm, come to think of it, I don't think i realy want to reading that.

Mike: I was reading symptons of lacking testosterone there was all but one similarity,

Don't try and diagnose yourself using books and/or the internet, seriously, you'll find matching symptoms for pretty much anything if you look hard enough.

I'd venture to say there's nothing wrong with you at all and that your testosterone levels are fine, you should have no problems whatsoever at 15; like someone else said, if you've got concerns, just go to the doctor and they'll put your mind at rest.

Luke, you can have your test levels checked by your doctor very easily if you have concerns. They just draw some blood.

Solid Info!

So what then are the drawbacks of using steriods after the age of 25? I have no intention of ever using them or any type of testosterone booster. I took androstendione when I was 22 for 1 month and it didn't do a damn thing. They should have banned it for the reason of it not being effective. Not saying that roids aren't effective, I just don't see the point when it can all be done safely and naturally.

The people you see on the interenet talking about using steroids are talking about serious, serious shit. They are talking about injecting themselves all over their body since they need to keep rotating places to combat scar tissue growth. They are talking about which drugs they need to consume to prevent their testicles from shrinking. They are grown men sharing acne care tips for the raging patches of it across their back. They are talking about how to permanently destroy their hard drives in the event of a federal agency sweeping their house. Is this the scene you are looking for??? I saw all these topics of discussion at bb.com

Steroids are so far out of your league it is not even funny Luke. They are VERY illegal. To buy. To possess. To use. They are a schedule III drug which I believe is like ecstacy or meth but I could be off there. Getting caught with steroids is potentially life ruining.

And they kill people. FREQUENTLY. Not like all of a sudden drop dead, or not like people's heads exploding, but once some people see the results they cannot stop. Perfectly logical people with good intentions are consumed by steroids just like any other drug. They are extremely toxic and will eat every last bit of muscle off of you given the chance.

Steroids can and are used safely by plenty of people. But they are no joke, and they are no quick fix. Luke this is so far from an issue. If you get into lifting by the time you are 18 you will be bigger than most anyone you know. And if you are that worried about your test levels, steroids are probly the worst possible way you could try and raise them.

Dude, that's fucking duiscusting, alrite I REALY don't want to try them now. Shrinking testiculs ewwwwwwwww.

They come back when your cycle is over.

But anywho... Bo Jones makes an awesome point, you're so young... you're going to be bigger than EVERYONE your age if you just keeping working hard and eating right. Hell I wish I woulda started lifting when I was 15.

i got better gains in 2 months of working out at 16 than i have in a year of working out at 25. I wasn't even working to a routine then.

if i took steriods now i'd probably still have worse results and lower test levels than i did at 16.

At 16 you are effectively on steriods already, natural ones with out all the bad side effects of the artificial ones people inject themself with.

Go lift weights and you'll stop worrying very shortly :)

I have a few friends who have done cycles of steroids. I dont really see the point. They go on them for a month or so blow up and then stop. Soon after they shrink back down. They compllained about stretch marks from the skin stretching so fast. Those stretch marks will never go away though
the muscles have. Thats in addition to your balls shrinking, pimples, internal organ damage, and a shorter temper. Forget it!
