They have done studies with giving roids to people, and having some not exercise at all, another group exercise without roids, and a third group gets roids and works out. The results are the group that exercised without roids gained the least, the roids without exercise came in second, and roids and working out came in number one. In another study AIDS patients were given 150mg of anadrol per day for 7 months. They put on an average of 17 pounds of LBM. Having said that, I have to agree that diet is the most important part of the equation. The better your diet, the more gains you will see and keep. I've seen a thread where some bro is on his 8th cycle and is using over 1500 mg test a week and is still 190lbs. This guy was gaing like 5 pounds a cycle!Getting the diet and exercise right first will enable you to get the most benefit out of the roids when you take them. Without the diet right you probably won't even be able to maintain the gains you do get.
