How will juice affect my natural gains?

[staunchrussian]

Ivenever thought of this before and its really got me wondering...

Im looking at running my first cycle soon (test Prop and Var). after the cycle is finished do i:

have to keep juicing to get gains?(OFF and on obviously)

will my natural gains slow down or completely stop?(when not on?)

or im i wrong about this? what actually happens?

Well ideally you shouldn't be using aas till you reach your plateau...

Well if your on AAS of course your natural gains will stop, you are supernatural at that point. LOL

No it won't affect your natural gains after you're off gear and fully recovered. But there will be a mental block surrounding your natural gains so it may look like you're not making any gains but that's only in comparison to being on gear.

I think you generally don't gain while off-cycle. You should be using steroids to gain beyond what you would be able to achieve naturally.

I have found it very difficult to gain off cycle these days.

so basically as i understand, afetr the natural plateu is reached once you get on the juice the off-cycle training is only to maintain what youve gained during on??

also would age/number of cycles affect this?

Exactly,

Not sure about your second question though.

what im trying to ask is;

would a younger-guy with only 1 cycle under his belt be more successfull in gaining off-cycle than some one who is a more experienced juicer with numerous cycles behind him?

yes!! at an extent you ant even maintain the muscle you have once you reach a point unless you use hormones

even if you haven't reached your natural peak once you cycle it will be more difficult to gain natural, before I reached my natural limitations which I cycled before I accomplished that it became extremely difficult to gain off cycle.

If you haven't reached your natural max you'll still gain off cycle. Most guys wait till they hit their natural max to start AAS. If you're using AAS to push you beyond your natural max, it becomes really hard to gain off-cycle.
