Nick Trigili breaks down when it's the right time for an aspiring bodybuilder to start using steroids.

THE BODYBUILDING COACH – is a weekly digital series hosted by Nick Trigili that breaks down the biggest topics, training guides, nutrition tips, and realities behind supplements & drugs in bodybuilding. Based off of a perfect balance of research and personal experience, Nick will go in-depth about how the new era of bodybuilding works with tried, true, and valuable information that is rarely discussed elsewhere. New episodes air every Wednesday.

Nick Trigili is back with a new topic to discuss in great detail in our latest episode of The Bodybuilding Coach. This week Nick dives into the controversial subject of how young is too young for an aspiring bodybuilder to use steroids. 

Generation Iron would like to note that the use of steroids is illegal if not prescribed by a doctor and that we do not endorse or promote illegal drug use. This information is for educational purposes only. That being said, some bodybuilders do decide to go down the path of using steroids. If they do - they should be educated on what it can entail... and what can happen if you start too young.

This is less about science and more about mindset and responsibility. Nick details a checklist of how to know when you are mature and mentally prepared enough to start using steroids for bodybuilding. It's when someone jumps in before they are ready that can lead to incredibly dangerous results.

If you are someone who is on the fence about taking that dive... watch the episode of The Bodybuilding Coach above to find out if the risk is right for you.
