With steroids becoming more mainstream in sports, individuals are starting to experiment with performance-enhancing drugs, seemingly younger than before. Taking to Instagram, 14-year-old Cody Kopa has been documenting the major changes to his physique since starting Trenbolone. However, there is much debate surrounding the effects of steroids at such a young age, especially for those in puberty.
Cody Kopa was just your average kid, hitting the gym hoping to put on some muscle and size. However, Kopa soon realized transforming his body was harder than anticipated. After about a year and a half of training naturally, he decided to give anabolic steroids a shot.

Commenters were left flabbergasted by Cody Kopa’s use of PEDs. Some offered praise while others were left unsure of why he was using gear at such a young age.
“Gimmie a pen. I’ll play Connect the dots with your back acne 😂 “
“all side effects no gains”
“Where are your parents 😂 “
“Looking good king don’t worry about the hate comments they are jealous you look better than them even with back acne”
“Like bros big but just sad he is putting his health at risk, we gotta stop supporting the use of steroids especially in minors. Got to think long term, don’t get me wrong I love the gym it’s one of my favorite things but it’s not everything.”
Many bodybuilders have come out to warn others about the harms of PED use. This includes retired IFBB Pro Seth Feroce who highlighted the dangers of using steroids and compared it to drug addiction.
“It’s so easy to get addicted to it, the dopamine rush, when you start dieting down, and you see the new vein, the muscle, the striation, the increased bench, then all of a sudden I’m taking steroids. And this is going on 10 times faster than normal.”
Another fitness enthusiast, TikToker John Joshua James, revealed the severe back acne he was struggling with after just four months of using steroids. Some were left taken aback by how quickly he started experiencing side effects.
At only 14 years old, fans had mixed reactions to Cody’s physique and use of steroids. However, it brings to light many questions about not only the legality of gear but its accessibility to people of younger ages.
