cutting and roids.

so I know I should know this already but I want to be clear.
as far as I know steroids are used to build muscle. so when
someone talks about a "cutting cycle" the use of AS is only
to help retain existing muscle on a low cal diet? as far as I
know the only steroid that helps fat loss it tren, correct?

not only to retain the already present muscle but to define and harden it also

I would say that Almost all steroids (specifically test and tren) aid in lyposis, to different degrees. Tren leans me out like nothing else.

However, the main reason for a "cutting" cycle is to retain lean mass during a period of restricted calories.. some people try bulking and cutting at the same time but often fail.
