gh15, some good points. lee claims to have been natural for a year, yet his arms are still 20" and he's big as a house.
croatch, its this simple. u bodybuild naturally cause (im guessing) u love the challenge and would rather not risk the health probs. guys bb with drugs cause they too love the challenge but would rather gain faster and better results than a natural. simple as that. easy way out, sure, in some respects, but its common sense - if u want a better body in a faster time, do drugs. doesnt make them less of a person.
in our case and im talking about every professional and plenty of amatuers we are what you call shut down completly as in our balls takes long time to get back to reality even when off since we are rarely off,,,now when you are shut off you will lose size and weight if not on hormones,,being on hormones can mean many things from being on 200mg as bridge to being on growth to being on insulin to being on clenbuterol or all of the above during off time,, in other words there is no official off time because you are always on,,,
now if you go completely off your only chance to stay same weight not size is if you get higher body fat and eat kfc and lots of food so you can maintain weight,,but size of arms will shrink some and so will most other parts,,,it will shrink by the week even if you really really pray and dont want to,,it just will
so..for priest to remain 240 or 230 \lb off hormones completely ...lots of kfc must get in the system on a daily basis with mach potatos and chinease buffets which will make him stay large but fat large,,anyother case is due to hormone use
