I`ve stayed on for long periods at times,but as a rule,mostly years ago,I cycled on and off......will do this now until contest time.
I was never,and still am not one of the guys who rely entirely on gear.
I diet like a monk and train hard no matter clean or enhanced,though I am relaxing my diet here and there just to feel/be somewhat normal! ;D
I have lost a certain hardness that gear gives you,plus my diet is here and there,but for the most part,still around 8% bodyfat.
I don`t know about pics or not,will see.
