gear without "enough" muscle mass

Once again, not going to use, but just curious about 1 thing.

When say a 160 pound guy asks about juicing, usaully he will get a response that talks about how he will not be able to maintain his gains. Why exactly can a guy without "enough" muscle mass cannot maintain his gains? Is it because it is assumed that at 160 lbs he is not knowledgable enough about diet and excersize or is it more complex than that?

I've never heard this before, but if the guys a reasonable height @ 160lbs then in most cases he can gain more naturally before hitting a plateau utilizing a proper diet and training routine.

It doesn't have to do with being able to maintain body weight...it's about knowledge and effort.

yup...if he's a buck 60, he's not near his natural ability. needs to hit the weights harder for a while most likely.

i am not the 160 pound guy i am 217 lol if you thought i was the 160 lb guy. Lets say a guy who 125 pounds who has never worked out a day in his life take 500mg of enenthate for 10 weeks, trains and eats smart like he never did before, will he be able to maintain his newly aquired musle tissue?

yeah a guy can add more natturally but i notice that when most people around this weight cycle they get a gang of weight around 30 pounds or so and it all depends on if they continue to train and eat right that maintains gains. Plus if you havent already hit your genetic limit then you actually have more of a chance to keep the gains. Once you are at your limit and cycle then you will gain weight but your body cannot continue to hold on to the weight for continued periods of time so you are at more of a chance to loseing the weight. but ive noticed that if you cycle and reach your limit with help of a cycle then your body doesnt work as hard to maintain a natural genetic preset amount of muscle mass.

scenerio 1?
ok is this what you are saying? i am 18 now, lets say i continue to go natural until i am say 26 (wont happen) and reach my genetic potential. i take my first cycle and gain like 20 pounds of muscle. Will my body have gotten rid of the newly aquired muscle and go back down to where i was before i started?

scenerio 2?
i continue to go natural until 21 ( which is what i am planning). the cycle takes me to my genetic potential. I wait about 4-5 months and do a 2nd cycle and gain like 20 pounds. are you saying since i used gear to get to my genetic potential instead of going natural that i will be able to maintain the 20 pounds over my genetic potential from the 2nd cycle?
