If you’re deadset on roiding, 1-2 test cycles for 12-15 weeks with a proper pct and use of an AI is more than enough. There's no need to overcomplicate it. At least wait until your 20s, 25 is best.
Sure there's health problems that arise from the use of anabolics, but they have a time and place, and have been able to dramatically improve attraction if applicable.

Of course, in these examples they have the genetic insertions that allows for such an aesthetic physique. On top of this jon skywalker might be dead from a heart attack caused by abusing tren (his unhealthy lifetime also played a role but it was mainly caused by roids) and david laid has sustained multiple injuries, rotator cuff and lower back most notably, that wouldn't have occurred if steroid use allowed him to push past his body's limits (along with shit form).

These discussions require nuance beyond "muh health" "but muh big muscles" they have the power to tip the scales in your favor or not if you're smart about it and understand the weight of these substances and the physiological response on your body. Analyze the risk-to-reward ratio appropriately.
Tl;dr steroids can ascend you if you have the base and know what you're doing, otherwise you're going to hurt yourself or look ridiculous.
