Probably the most stupid questions ever....

[BrysZ]

Can a guy just do one cycle reap the benefits and never cycle again?

Has anyone ever heard of anyone ever do just one cycle?

Do many plan on doing only one cycle but get hooked?

If a guy did do only one cycle would the gains be totally lost if he never did another?


I am sorry for all the questions...I know I am totally showing my ignorance of steriods but I am willing to look like an idiot to learn faster...I am so intrigued with the vast information that can be gained on this site...thank you for your patience...

Generally the only time you should cycle is when you are at your genetic potential, so if you are there and cycle and gain 15lbs, over time yes you would loose that IMO

Hence the word cycling its a commitment in itself

Yes.

Has anyone ever heard of anyone ever do just one cycle?
Sure.

Do many plan on doing only one cycle but get hooked?
Very many.

If a guy did do only one cycle would the gains be totally lost if he never did another?
Eventually, yes.

This is my experience since I am a 55 yr old male and am a week out into PCT after my first cycle.

While doing one cycle is unlikely, its a lot harder (physiogically) to gain 5 lbs of muscle mass than it is to keep it. When you are talking about someone at their genetic potential the likelyhood of dropping the cycle gain is greater than someone who is older and although healthy and eating fairly well and working out pretty good is not commited enought to reach their true potential, for someone like this if they gain 7lbs of muscle and drop 5% bf during a cycle and use proper PCT afterward to keep from rebounding then the likelihood of keeping some of the gains are a lot better than the guy who is at true genetic potential. When you factor in the psychological motivation of seeing the change over a 6-8 week cycle then the likelihood of keeping a good percentage of the change do to increases in commitment to diet and excersize you will see an even bigger gain.

I know for me seeing the changes during my cycle has been a great motivator and I have (so far) continued gains (loss of body fat) and maintained strength and even though I am 10 days past my last shot I sure don't have any long term evidence I feel my motivation has really changed after seeing that their is hope for more than just slight health improvement (to an significant change in appearance) of course to answer the second question, I also am planning another cycle starting in December assuming lab work comes back good.

Thank you for your response. I believe I could learn a lot from your experience. I would like to PM you to exchange emails if that is okay with you...if not I understand...thanks again for your time.

I gained 30lbs my first cycle. Had been hitting the gym hard for about a year and could not break past 190. I was young at the time, 20, and got on cycle. My core body weight went from 190 to 220 and has never gone below 220 again. It was not always a good 220, but I kept the weight. The real factor in keeping the gains are a good pct, overcoming the inevitable loss of motivation, sticking to your diet, and continuing to hit the iron.

Has anyone ever heard of anyone ever do just one cycle? NO, WELL NOT UNTIL D7 SAID YEAH

Do many plan on doing only one cycle but get hooked? ABSO****ENLUTLEY
If a guy did do only one cycle would the gains be totally lost if he never did another? NOT NECESSARILY, BUT PROBABLY DIMINISHED OVER TIME. SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO EAT ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE NEW SIZE WHILE REMOVING THE AAS AND NOT GETTING FAT....
