This is truth. Going off, especially if you actually go totally off, will turn you into a bloated filthy mess if you gorge yourself. A lot of guys think that they can compensate for the gear by eating a ton and getting "swole". No, you just get fat. And like galeniko said, your body utilizes nutrients better on gear anyways. I will add thought that another huge mistake is to diet severely when coming off gear. This is even more common because of the perception of water loss as true fat loss. Guys come off the shit and starting losing weight and drying out because the gear is not keeping them swole anymore and they figure might as well go all the way and really get ripped even if I lose some mass along the way. Big mistake. You will lose a TON of mass in the catabolic state you will be in right after coming off everything. The best thing to do is to keep diet clean, but not crazy clean and try to maintain as much as possible. dont go crazy in either direction of swoleness.
hm, this is true, cant go for striated everything look when coming off, but the size loss will happen anyway,but something like clearly visible abs and quads nicely separated 7-8% should be possible.that way some volume will be kept.
the diet will be much more unforgiving,lol, but you have to add some fats.
and indeed the biggest error is trying to emulate or keep the same weight.steroid gains are mostly much water in the muscle, more glycogen in the muscle and some subcutane water,it can amount to pretty much weight on a scale, dont panic when you literaly piss out your size
by staying lean, one will be his former steroided up self, just flat and less vascular,also less watery, basicaly a deflated old self.this isnt necsarily a bad thing.
now doesnt take a genius to figure out what happens if one gets fatter,the little lines that are left fade away, that coupled with the loss of volume and increased waist=soon looking like never been to the gym before.
normaly the body would reset itself to something 12-15% bodyfat if not dieting any good, but not in this case, where estrogen is the dominating hormone.except no less than 20%.
