Now purely on looking at my unit (I never really measured until PE) any growth in the past two years was marginal. If I was to tell you the maximum that I grew in those two years, I would say around half an inch (as I always had the idea of me being 6.5’ until recently). So if PE can give you more than that, then sacrificing natural growth for PE may seem like the right choice.
If he can take advantage of the faster growth due to hormone levels, then bigger gains would do wonders for his self esteem, the thing about the girl laughing must have really stung.
We go by the rules. If we know somebody is underage we ban him. Point.
“Purely looking” at hundreds of guys here, half inch gain in the first year of PE is something to be happy; if one can get half inch without risking injuries and/or future gains and spending a lot of time doing PE, than THIS is the way to go.
“The faster growth due to hormone levels” in case of PE is just an hypothesis based on nothing: there are many guys here assuming Hgh, testosterone and who knows whatever else - guess what? They don’t have more gains than the “naturals”. And if you read around, you could find that big gainers are, mostly, in their middle age, not in their green age.
The thing about the girl laughing is just in the mind of the “cousin”, if you ask me.
