Now chances are that if they are skinny they don't know how to train and diet properly, but that is just lack of education. They could IMO learn and apply proper training and diet techniques just as they have with AAS aplications and walk away 25 permenant pounds heavier. The only real concern is that they are quickly jumping to a potentially dangerous alternative for easy gains that they could get naturally. This however doesn't mean that they won't gain or maintain the weight. It was also mentioned that they will have a harder time in the future to gain wieght. Really? Seems to me that even if you went on a cycle and lost all of your gains that it would be easier to gain them back naturally because of muscle memory. I don't see how previous steroid use would, once your HTPA is back to normal, slow further natural gains. A lot of this advice seems like anecdotal wives tales with no real evidence.
