Well, i guess my non-scientific take on this is this:
These studies i only take with a grain of salt. 95% of them do not apply to us as bodybuilders (using various AAS).
My vague answer to my own question would be that it depends. It depends on the individual's genetics, drug use (if applicable), and lifestyle. The only way to really know the answer to the question at hand is to REALLY know your own body. Know your body in terms of comprehensive bloodwork, heredity, body type, etc. So, some people may benefit slightly from experimenting with anti-es off cycle, some may drive their levels too low impairing their own anabolism, and some may just not be affected. Moreover, diet and lifestyle is usually the cause and possibly the solution to these situations IMO.
