Could PE mess up my natural growth

Could it? (Obviously penal growth) I turned 18 recently, about a month ago so I know I could easily be growing more

I have no idea but I’m was also in a similar situation, being a young guy (quite positive natural growth still occurs)

I decided to just go with it in the hopes that they will just boost each other (I’m thinking: start the PE gains while still naturally growing so it will not get “tapped out” but just enlarge until natural growth stops, and after that I can start the limited PE gains on top of it)

Any older PEers have input on this?

If anything, I would think that it would be an added benefit to PE while natural growth was occurring, unless of course one were to injure themselves.

It seems unlikely that it would negatively effect your growth. Check out Secjay’s history, he’s an interesting case study.

If anything you are more malleable at 18 than us old farts, so potentially you have more elastic deformation possible. This could be considered a negative thing. There are certainly cases I’ve read that, where people have gained very little at a young age and there are cases I’ve read where people have gained a lot when starting much older.

If you are still growing naturally, and that’s a possibility but not a certainty, and you are worried, wait 5 years and start PE when you are certain that you are not. Alternatively look through the PE database for 18 year olds or wait for replies from those who started at 18 before making a decision.

Anyone who started PE at 18 have any problems?

Started 16-17, no intense routines until current 20, no significant gains/losses

No problems what so ever so far, posting first month results at 14th on my thread. If you haven’t read it you can find it here New guy, never done anything like this before
