That's bullshit. You would drop a bit of size, but not nearly that much. There are plenty of guys in jail who look far better than Martinez, after he was released. Without the drugs, these guys almost evaporate. It's simple math. There is no way your body can compensate for that huge lack of test in your body. It was funny watching him talk about getting 800 calories a day in jail...etc. That comment was of course to,cover up the real reason, lack of drugs.
On the topic, I don't think Johnny Jackson looks bad at all. Branch reeks of little man disease though. Big truck, macho dogs, juicing since his teens. Poor guy would be 170lbs max without drugs. I'm surprised he isn't dead already. The guy always looks beat red. The praise God bullshit alone makes me dislike him.
Vic would be 180lbs with abs barely showing like I said if he stayed off for a full year.
170 only IF he had high body fat.
I often wonder how each of these guys will handle losing all this size when they come off. Gear is just as addictive as shit like Heroin, except on a MENTAL level. It's an extreme mental addiction.
I honestly have done a complete 180 on steroids being the "next level" one should consider when you start lifting. That "next level" is just all drugs. You can go to the "next level" the second you step in a gym with the right routine and training plan, and if you and someone with 20 years of lifting experience was to stop lifting, you'd both shrink right back down to almost identical levels of muscularity most likely because your testosterone levels would both be shot. In fact, if the guy with no base happens to have better genetics than you, he may even recover faster and look bigger off the fucking drugs than you. It's possible. Nothing "next level" about it.
All in all.... I just can't see an upside to being a steroid junkie. Negative press, dependency, and a nice feed for your insecurities. Lots of money on drugs, and an early grave. The only upside I can think of is leaving a beautiful corpse behind and getting laid more often than you would have before. So I guess it's good if you just do it to improve your existence, and make peace with the fact that you aren't shit without it. And if you can deal with having to pin all the time.
At any rate, people can do what they want with their bodies I guess. We all die some day, so none of it really matters to be fair.
