    If you have seen that, why did you ask?

    Ive also seen guys use AAS before they met their GP and go right back to pre AAS status after stopping AAS use. Not just your average gym rat, but competitive bros busting their ass day in and day out.

    You can't run a cycle and keep it without continuing AAS use. I know you don't like the answer, but you asked.

    Theres no such thing as genetic potential for **** sake, what chemical and physiological changes do you think occur when a muscle gets to say 19inchs in diameter, none. The muscle gets to 25inches , what happens, nothing the muscle gets BIGGER. Steroids dont do shit about some magical geneitic potential that where once a muscle gets to a certain size it metamorphosizes into something catastrophic that just wont grow. All that steroids do is increase protein synthesis which in turn allows for faster GROWTH.

    Will you lose weight if you stop training, yes, you will lose up to a pound a year if your over 40 and not doing any weight training, that's it. So it would take 50 years for someone to drop from 250pounds to 200pounds beginning at age 40. thats with no weight training whatsoever. I read this piece of information using google, forgotten the exact link but if you search regarding muscle loss whilst aging youll get results.

    Uh... I stopped training and let my diet slack for about 2 weeks and lost 2-3 lbs. Your statement must be false, unless I am royally F'ing something up.

    Don't be silly, that just isn't true. Maybe the average man loses 1 pound of muscle per year past the age of 40 or something like that. Check out someone who comes out of the hospital after a long stay and tell me they've only lost 1 pound of muscle. Whatever you read is toilet paper or you don't know how to interpret it.

    When you are coming off of AAS usage you need to allow more rest for your body but I always try to maintain my strength on the lifts. Typically I can maintain the poundage on my lifts but may lose a few reps per set. I will stalemate for a few weeks lose a little muscle then begin to make progress again.

    From what I have seen, people who have done alot of AAS use, came clean for extended periods of time but still maintained the lifestyle never look the same again. DO they look as good as they did while on cycle? NO but they look much better then the average JOE.
