Should i start my first cycle at 19?

Ive been going to the gym a little over 2 years I will post a before and after below:

This is start point:



About 7 months natural:

Now:

I think I have a very great physique for a natural lifter Ive honestly never dieted and just eat lots of protein and lift. But its kinda degrading looking at now and 1.5 years ago ive really not improved at all which leaves me with the thought should I hop on?

Whoa buddy, being a natural means playing the long game. Don't lose hope, you're young and got your life ahead of you. There's more to life than just lifting and improving your physique. Don't run gear thinking this will solve a fleeting feeling.

You've got a body that people would give their left hand for already, improve slowly but steadily. Gear should be your last resort and needs an actual reason that you can look back in a few years and say "Yes it was worth it back then and I don't regret it today".

Follow your weightlifting journey as a natural for at least 5 more years and see where the road takes you.

Roids or not the formula remains the same ; you build new muscle tissue by training and feeding your body.

Therefore you will have to go through periods of caloric surplus with increased body weight and some water retention/body fat added. Then you will need to drop the excess fat with a lean/cut phase while trying to preserve as much lean mass as you can before repeating the process over and over again.

Now this can be a walk through the park with proper protocols but there is a price to pay at some point. As a natural this will take years and years before reaching your maximum potential and only a few can truly achieve greatness. 90% of male gym users will never amount to anything impressive because genetics do play a significant role and we know that only a few individuals are truly blessed with great genes.

One life on this Earth and so little time.. to roid or not to roid... that is the question.

This is the only time in all of human history when you can inject, feel, and possess levels of testosterone that no other man has ever experienced before… and you’re going to miss out on it?
