Ok, here we go, the side effects are not the same in everyone, we all respond different to ASS, now I started when I was 17 lifting weights and believe it or not bro, even without the proper nutrition and calorie/carb/protein consumption I made very good gains! I am talking side effect free gains, lean and hard solid, no joke bro. Why? 'cause at that age up until 23 or 24 our test levels are way up there and there is no need for ASS please believe me is true. I started using at age 28 when I hit my plateu after trying different training techniques and diets my body would not respond just like it did when I was 17, why? 'cause is a proven fact that testosterone levels start decreasing at a faster rate starting age 28-30, therefore fat accumulation in stomach midsection, energy is not the same and many more.If you chose to use ASS, well let me tell you that in some people sides start to manifest after end of cycle, that is why you should ALWAYS do PCT, it means post therapy treatment, this is to avoid the 'crash' when your body is not receiving more exogenous test, that is why you lost most of your gains and feel like shit if you do not bring your natural test production back.
I am not claiming to be an expert in this matter nor I am trying to preach on you bro, I am just sharing what I've experience hoping that it will help you clear all this up, remember we all react in different ways to ASS, I know a guy that does Deca only cycles and he never had problems, I doubted but hey! He does his PCT religiously after his cycle, if I do a Deca only cycle I will be impotent for a whole year maybe.
Good Luck Bro.
Peace.
