Tell him there are no shorcuts to true success in life, that's a valuable lesson to learn early in life. If that doesn't do it, do you really want to sit by and let any of the things below happen to your son, regardless if he's pissed off at you for a while.

Have him do a detailed benefit/cost analysis before he makes his decision.

Where to start............
At 20 his test levels are as high as they are ever going to be. That said, unless he's been lifting since he was 13-14 he still has a lot of years of muscle maturity left to kick in. But all of that aside, 180 for a defensive back is fine. Our best defensive back in JUCO was 165 or 170. He was fast and had great instincts. The fact is, being able to move and be fast is far more important than size in football. You should know this. I moved better at 220 than I ever did at 245 after JUCO because I was in single digit bodyfat at 220, and fat is no friend of speed. But I too thought I needed to be bigger because well, that's everyone says. "You need to be 245." Ok so I got up to 245. Then I was running 4.7's instead of 4.5's (with an occasional high 4.4 thrown in). If he adds 10 pounds in the offseason, which is EASILY doable, he's 190 and I'd just about bet money that's the average defensive back size for div I football. He's going to need anabolics for 10 pounds???? But it needs to be quality. If he's 200 slow, he'll play less than if he's 180 playing FAST. Jim Leonhard for the Jets is 5'8" 186. If he's going to use no matter what you say then my advise would be to tell him to just do a cycle of anavar (oxandrolone) if he can get his hands on it. 30-50mg a week and he'll gain his 10-15 pounds and he'll be stronger and faster and he'll retain most of it after he comes off. It won't **** up his endocrine system or mess with his test levels. The only problem is, it's hard to come by and it's expensive. So there you go. |

I think the whole issue that harpes is facing is that his son is wanting to engage in something that he himself did and that harpes probably doesn't even see as that "wrong." I will probably face the same dilemma when my kid gets to the age to start smoking grass. Yes I did it. Yes I feel like a ****ing hypocrite telling my kid not to do it. But guess what? I'm the parent, and that's my job.
It just comes with the territory. Same thing I have to do in my job every day as an authority figure. It's the way the game is played. We tell them not to do it, and they try to get away with it. If we didn't, next thing you know kids would be wearing hats in the school building (see how many people get that ancient CP reference).

While your primary concern should by on the long term health of your son (because, at 20, most kids think that they are bulletproof and know everything), there are secondary concerns that you should have. Once he gets on the juice, he's going to be susceptible to testing positive on random drug test (and yes, they do not test enough and most guys get around them by cheating anyway), which would/could remove any scholarship from him, banned from the team, kicked off of campus. As well, if he gets caught in possession of the drugs, they are considered a controlled substance and he will be facing some expensive and serious legal/criminal consequences. All it takes is getting into an argument with someone who knows you are doing drugs and a vindictive/retaliatory call to the authorities and you are basically screwed.

Is he white? If yes then he'll probably need to get bigger so he can move to safety. But let's go with not to juice.

Dude, encourage him not to do it.
Others have said the things about legal suppliments. If he's 180, he shouldn't have much to gain. Legals should do what he needs. It is your responsibility as a parent to say something Posted via Mobile Device |

I don't have a problem with PED's under the supervision of a doctor. It's not cheating unless you want to include anything that can "Enhance Performance" including caffine. Further more you have many, many parents that give their kids HGH treatments at an early age so they can play sports at all. Does that make them cheaters? No it doesn't. Just be ready for the risks.
