There is no set age, although 17 is definately way too young as the body is still in puberty and they will destroy the natural test production for the rest of life.<<<< I never said 26 was a SET age I said 26 would be recommended ... Nobody can give a set age for anything ! But yes at 17 it will destroy his natural test, thats not rocket science !



During a real bulk, most people do not stay at the same leanness, which are where cutting cycles (not a steroid cycle) come in. <<< Perhaps but most look bloated and not lean / vascular.



I may be wrong on this one as I've never heard it before, but what does water retention have to do with blood pressure? There are support supplements for both water retention and blood pressure, in addition to liver support, prostate support, etc... <<<< Im afraid to say you are wrong sorry Water retention will lower your blood pressure , or just for the sake of education here are a few more symptoms of water retention : slower metabolism, fat gain, fatique , cardiovascular problems, headaches, hormone inbalances, joint problems, sleep problems to name just a few !! All signs of Edema ( water retention from a diuretic ! Of course some get more sides than others.

cheers



Your 29, I think you have stopped growing well over a few years ago. And if you run the cycle correctly you will not have any long term sides.
