Your body gets used to steroids???

[skeldno]

I you use steroids for 12 week cycle just say 500mg deca 500mg test by week 11 you wouldnt be getting much gains as your body is used to them.

how long do you have to come of them b4 u become a light weight again?

[kfrost06]

Well if you do a proper PCT and bring your natural test production back up to normal you should keep most of your gains minus the water weight. On a test/deca cycle I keep about 80% of my gains. You have to do a PCT and keep training the whole time.

[scaramouche]

prolly 70-75% for me

No you get gains all the way through, read about half lives, and how the levels exponentionally grow in ur bloodstream, for example 14 days after 1st shot u get 250mgs in ur blood then 14 days after second shot u get 250mgs and 125mgs for a total of 375 mgs...by wk 11 ull have much higher levels and should keep consistant gains till u get off.

Oh i heard the reason people go up in dose is because there body gets used to them???

I would say that most gains are seen with in the first 5 weeks of a cycle, except for with long esters. I personaly started doing my cycles just 4-5 weeks in leagnth because I never saw much didfrence after that. I think that at about day 30 your body starts to try to regulate its self by raising estrogen and becoming more catabolic. I would say that on all the cycles I have done that where at least 10 weeks in leagnth that 90% of my weight and streangth gains came by week 5.

I am on a test and deca cycle gains are coming better than ever in week 8 the first few weeks did add a ton of size but now its quality muscle coming.

the hormone levels do not increase exponentially. Quite the opposite, they asymptotically reach a limit

same here dude.

after 6 weeks, my gains stop no matter how much i increase cals etc.

my body always grows in spurts, whether ON or OFF cycle

You can still build up a tolerance to compounds. There are many reasons why back to abck cycles arnt that effective, some of which scientists still dont understand. Tolerance, SHBG, etc...
