Does Gear Wear off after time... after several cycles?

**Jdawg50** · 06-10-2003, 04:40 PM

I have done 4 decent cycles over the last 9-10 years. It seems like that last one I did really didnt do much for me. Not sure why, I know it was ligit, because I had raging hormones and a 24 hour stiffy in my pants, but I just didnt get the gains I have had in the past. What are your thoughts guys?

well, the downgrade of receptors over time could be evident, however 4 cycles over a 9 year period means there was ample time between cycles for recovery assuming you didn't do 3 cycles 8 years ago and then do one recently.

are you using the same gear as you did for the first few? if you are it may be that your body isn't taking it as well any more, or if you aren't that it is not responding well to the new compounds.

could be any number of different reasons bro, also remember that there is only a certain point you could reach with AS unless you used GH.

post some more info here and maybe we can help more.

I don't believe in down regulation at all however as you add more muscle mass it becomes harder and harder to continue growth. The further from your set point and the closer to your genetic potential and beyond the harder it is to add and maintain muscle. You won't put twenty pounds of muscle a cycle on for to long before it slows down.

Yeah im with Rickson on this. Post some more info about yourself and your cycle, that will help us more.
