Hey so I have been seeing some videos / advice given out there that once you come off of gear you lose all your gains. Where did this idea come from out of curiosity? Clearly this is not the case from personal experience and many other people's stories, plus the fact that there is a study out there showing that steroid use increases the number of muscle fibers which remains even after you are off.

My question is: where did this idea come from? Why do some users claim that this is the case? Could it possibley be the case that some people are referring to heavy cycles when the user has naturally low testosterone and will obvious lose some of that extreme mass.

Could it be that some people stop training as hard / dieting when they are off because of the drop in energy and motivation? There seems to be a ton of anecdotal evidence that contradicts this claim and even on this forum there are people that show this is clearly not the case.

So what gives?
