so answer this for me , if you're 200lbs 12 percent natural, what will you be after 8 weeks of steroids while going down to 5 percent bf atleast maintaining weight possibly even gaining, what will your end result be when the hormones have cleared and your natural levels are returning.
Varying factors will effect the final outcome, i.e. which steroids were used, nutrition after the cycle, etc. However, this individual from your example will more than likely return to his previous state before the cycle began, although the varying factors will largely determine how fast but he will return to his previous state.
The same individual could run a 16wk cycle, come off for approximately 8wks and run another 16wk cycle; assuming all other things are in order, nutrition and decent AAS response he will begin to create a new normal. However, this type of protocol will have to continue far past a couple cycle; obtaining a new set normal will take some time.
