I trained for 6 months naturally and I put on 2 kg in that time. Then I went on the juice and put on about 10 kg in 3 months. (That's a ratio of 10:1 by the way, i.e. I put on muscle 10 times quicker when I hit the juice).
A very big reason that I put on so much weight is that the Testosterone sent my appetite through the roof, I was eating twice as much food as normal. Now in my 2nd week of PCT, my appetite is dropping back down.
I know people talk a lot about diet on this forum, but I'm really just one of those people who has a naturally very low appetite, which is the reason I can stay lean naturally. I'd probably need to take an appetite stimulant if I wanted to train naturally.....
.....but of course having said that, now that I've actually done a cycle of steroids, I wouldn't bother training naturally to gain size. In between cycles I'm just going to do enough training to maintain what I have (i.e. I'll do 3 sets of everything instead of 5), I'm not gonna bust my ass. But then when I go back on the juice I'm doing 5 sets of everything.
By the way I'm pretty short, 5'3" in height, so you can take that into account when I say how much I weigh.
Regarding what I can lift... hmm well for my flat bench press the most I can lift is about 70 to 75 kg (not very strong), but another way of looking at it is that I can bench 120% my own body weight. I know a lot of people will laugh at that figure but I'm happy with it because my strength has increased a great deal over my 1st cycle.
I might look into taking Letrozole or Arimidex during my next cycle. By the way, what are the down-turns of inhibiting the action of estrogen while on a cycle? I hear some people say that you don't gain as much if you block estrogen.
