Hi everybody! There’s been a lot of talk lately about young guys and first-time steroid users considering Trenbolone as their first or second cycle. I wanted to start this thread to give those who are thinking about it a reality check. Specifically, I want to share my personal experience with Tren to highlight the potential risks, especially when it’s used too early in one’s bodybuilding journey. My hope is that this will help some of you understand why seasoned users often say "no" to using Tren so young and why it's better to wait until you've built a solid foundation with multiple cycles under your belt.
I’ll start by sharing my own story. About nine years ago, I was at my gym talking to one of the more experienced guys there. He had a solid physique, and I asked him about steroids and how I could get bigger quickly. He told me that if I wanted to run a cycle, he could hook me up with the best mass-building compounds. Like a lot of young guys, I was eager to grow fast, and without thinking much about the long-term consequences, I jumped in.
A couple of days later, he handed me several bottles of Test-P and Tren-A along with instructions to inject 1.5cc every day. I didn’t question it—just followed the directions. But from that point on, I learned the hard way that Tren is not something to be taken lightly.
The First Week (What I Expected):
The first week went by fairly smoothly. I had some mild coughing and increased sweating, but nothing too alarming. I figured everything was going fine—after all, I was getting bigger, and that's what I wanted, right?
The Downside (Weeks 2-8):
Things started to spiral quickly after the first week. No one had warned me about the harsh side effects of Tren, and the gym guy certainly didn’t mention them. By the second week, I was struggling with:
- Insomnia: I couldn't sleep no matter what I tried. I had to self-medicate to get any rest.
- Excessive Sweating: Even when I wasn’t working out, I felt like I was constantly in a sauna, and I couldn’t drink enough water to stay hydrated.
- Anxiety: I developed intense anxiety, something I had never experienced before. I was constantly on edge and couldn’t pinpoint why.
- Loss of Libido: My sex drive disappeared, and my relationship suffered because of it.
- Rage and Aggression: I was already a bit quick-tempered, but Tren turned it into uncontrollable anger. I found myself snapping at the smallest things, and I couldn’t hold back my frustration.
Conclusion:
Tren has its benefits in terms of strength and muscle growth, but the side effects are real, and they can be dangerous—especially when you're not prepared for them. I’m sharing this story not to discourage people from exploring steroids, but to warn against jumping into something as intense as Tren too early. It’s not worth it. You never know what side effects you might experience, and you might find yourself in situations you can’t undo.
If you're new to steroids, it’s crucial to build a foundation with safer compounds first, learn how your body reacts, and only then consider adding more powerful substances like Tren once you have more experience. Trust me—there’s no rush, and your long-term health and mental well-being are more important than short-term gains.
Thanks for reading, and I hope my story helps someone out there avoid the same mistakes I made.
