Is weight harder to keep on after doing AS??

**A.K. BOY** · 05-12-2002, 01:51 AM

I was just wondering is weight harder to keep on after AS rather than if you gain naturaly?? Say if I put on 25 lean lbs of muscle naturaly and 25lbs lean of muscle on AS would you have to work harder as far as eating and training to keep on the mass??
THANKS

no, it was quite the contrary for me, after my last cycle I gained 10 lbs naturally after the cycle, it feels like I can make more gains the bigger I get

maybe its the experience in the gym

OK "Is it harder to keep the mass you gain with AS or naturaly" THANKS

I always got taught the slower you make the gains, more quality they are and the more maintainable that they are.

Thanks nate_dog...can anyone back that theory up?......

I think that he MIGHT be harder to keep gains for this reason:

lets say jonny puts on 25 pounds in a year naturaly, his body had lots of time to adjust to the wait so it was easier to maintain right?

now jonny juices and puts on 25 pounds in two months, his body now is trying to adjust to this weight to keep it right? which is harder??

thats just an educated guess...

i think the faster you gain the quicker you lose

I think it depends on the gear your using on how much harder it will be to keep it on after your cycle . For example and I'm sure everyone will agree on this, tabs vs injection. I've taken alot of oral only cycles back in the day, and lost alot of what I gain. And for some reason I would get sick 8 out of 10 times I would get off the gear. Probably my immune system . And the weight would just melt off.

steroids have been known to suppress your immune system from what i understand..in my 2nd week of d-bol only i was up 17lbs and lost 9 lbs in one day due to a virus..still ended up 15lbs heavier after the cycle..no tellin how much weight i might have gained

what some people don't understand is the differnce between muscle and water weight. some bro's around my gym don't know shit and tell me they gained 25-30 pounds of solid muscle from 8-10 weeks of test-d-balls. what they don't understand is juice or no juice your body can not put on that much pure muscle in that little time. thats why if you cycle shit like primo and only put on 5-8 pounds in 10 weeks some say primo sucks, but that 5-8 pounds is solid muscle.
so it's simple big gains= fast loss- small gains= more maintainable (sp)
also I belevie in longer cycles because it lets your new gains mature.
If you gain 15 pounds of muscle in 10 weeks that muscle is fresh and your body is not use to it so post cyle when your in catabolic state that fresh muscle will be loss easy because it's not mature. if you gained 15 pounds in 10 weeks then used small amount of aas like anavar for 5 more weeks it would help mature that new muscle.
