so your "on" for life?If you don't mind me asking how old are you & when did you first start gear?
Ive talked of this before and it came from my endo as well..bouncing your endocrine system on and off with cycles is counter productive..you guys are nuts to think you keep your steroid induced gains for the long term..just because you might not lose much off the scale weight really doesnt mean you are keeping lean mass (which we are all striving to build) most increase calories when they come off thinking this halts the loss of gains when in fact they gain water and fat , how many of you have had lean body mass readings post AAS cycles? not just looking at the scales.
Look at pros that blast and cruise also , when they drop back to there cruise doses they shrink , lose fullness hardness etc.
Now they are in a better position than you guys that go off completly eg cycle but they dont maintain everything gained on the higher doses yet still are on..do you think you are better off than they are?
I trained natural for 15 years , i crusie on 1 1/2 ml a week all year round which pushes my test level to nearly 3 times the high end of whats considered natural/normal
I cycle a few times a year on higher doses then drop back to my cruise dose.I gain while on but still drop back once off higher doses and dont keep all those gains and im still "on" this is natural and how the body works,im not the only one this happens to im just honest with it.it happens to everyone the pros included.So you guys that think you hold any to a lil of pure lean mass once dropping back to "natural" then you are deluded.
GH15 says this , Im pretty sure Van agrees with this and I know Disgusted/Jim does..3 guys whose hormone knowledge is far and wide more knowledgable than you 3 guys disagreeing here..no disrespect but its truth im affraid.
A well known example is arnold , when he looked good he was on and when he was off he looked awful , you wouldnt of known he was MR O when he wasnt on..
The only time "maybe" you can keep some of those gains would be off the first blast but this will only because you are getting to your natural genetic potential , other than that cycling and going off is a waste of time and according to my endo does more harm than good to your endocrine system..and forget gimmicktry pct protocals you are just delaying whats about to come.
