gh15, if someone were to take just 500mg testosterone a week for 9 months just to reach their natural limit, would they keep their gains?
They would shrink back down of course. The longer they stay on, the less they'll shrink. If they stay on for years, they'll probably maintain most of their gains, only if they reached their "natural" limit of course. On gear, they would surpass it if they were training and eating properly.
When you use AAS properly, you change. Even when your hormones plummet, once they return you'll be larger, thicker. That thickness can only be maintained while on AAS. You can be "large" when you're off, but you'll never be STEROID-THICK.
You can take a 140lb pencil neck and put him on deca, naposim and sustanon for 6 months and he'll become a swollen 160lb'er even if he's training like shit. But I guarantee that the dickhead will look better than most natural 180-190lb'ers with the same relative proportions. Deicede, my advice to you is to stop writhing in agony over your genetics and start juicing. Contrary to your beliefs you look GOOD, my brother. Get your head on straight, start putting more effort into the kitchen, think positive and train your balls off. If you don't wrap your head around your goals and believe that you can achieve them then you won't go anywhere. You don't give yourself nearly enough credit.
