if you use anabolics for ten years straight and then stop training and lifting you will be back to normal size in less than a year

If you keep on training you will look like you lifted natty for 10 years.

You will look somewhat better than natty,but not as good as on roids.

It's like ex IFBB Pro >>>>INBA Natural Olympia !.

[joswift]

its not hard, just look at every single pro who has retired and not still using supposed TRT doses

To truly be off it has to be 6 months and using nothing. What normally happens is a guy takes a 3 month break then claims to be natural.  Many of these 3 months off guys are using clomid, HCG and testosterone replacement claiming they are off.  Most guy look like crap once truly off because their hormones are out of whack and the gains are from drugs are temporary. Just like the actors that look amazing for a role then when they are doing the press appearances for the  movie sometimes a year later look like crap.

True. But with anabolics you pay a price usually.

If you work out consistently for years on end, with or without the aide of supplements and steroids, your physique will be changed forever. You will never completely go back to being that skinny teenager who started working out to get big. I know. I was one of those teenagers.

[Bevo]

Yes, but on anabolics the lost is much greater and quicker from experience

[joswift]

agreed..

Well, no one actually remains a teenager unless they are Dorian Gray. There are people whose physicality never changes in terms of weight and overall body structure. My mom was a good example of this. Her teenage clothes would have still fit her perfectly when she was 60 years old. I suspect that had I never worked out with weights or was prescribed steroids I would also have stayed looking about the same. Whenever I've taken vacations from the gym, I tend to lose weight. However, most people do seem to physically change for the worse as they get older. Overeating is probably one of the main factors that cause this.

[joswift]

my brother has never lifted a weight and hes a lot bigger now than when he was a teenager

Everyone is different. Your brother is probably more the norm.

Is there any truth to the "myth" that if you have been muscular and heavier for a long time(with drugs) that the body is forced to re/set its balance and you would end up a bigger version of yourself?

No. This is a bullshit myth, unless you used steroids from the moment you started lifting to get your beginner gains. A lot of people will mistaken this for steroid gains when all they had to so was touch a weight there first year and grow like a weed.

You will hold your natural build along with whatever muscle you put on before gear.  You will keep some muscle after the steroid use, but most of it will be gone



Most of the muscle and weight you will lose off steroids wont be noticable at first or even months after you come off. It will be alow.and gradual. Your friends will start asking if you are cutting weight, your strength will gradually go down along with your once tight some XL will be baggy yet again. Slowly you will start realize you are smaller, but still be in denial of your hard gains you made while on steroids. Eventually you will.notice the scale saying you weigh twenty to thirty pounds and once again you are back at square one. Looking like a natural, and what you used to look like before the steroid abuse.


You wont keep your gains.

What if you were introduced to steroids as a teenager because your doctor determined you had low test levels for your age? When I was 16 years old and abnormally thin, our family doctor recommended a regime that included a daily 5 mg oral D-bol dosage and once weekly testosterone shots. Working out with weights was not mentioned. I gained weight, which included muscle weight primarily because I was a physically active teenager. Later on, I started lifting weights.

WHY???
This has been asked and answered a million times, if not way more. Everyone knows.
Why ?  Of course, you stay jacked up! Forever!
You will Keep 95% of all the gains. Yet, it's a very healthy way to get old, if you can manage to take steroids for more than 15 years (preferable Anadrol, Insulin and the number one gain keeper, synthol).
