From what I have seen, they will give the average user a certain percentage of gains, so if you bench pressed your 185lb body weight when you started using and gained 15% you'll still only bench 215lbs. If you pressed 400lbs at 225lb body weight when you went on and gained the same 15%, well............... Lets just say the second guy is a lot more "enchanted" than the first!
That is not to say you will gain 15%. I'm speaking theoretically here.
Also, I know a few 250lb monsters that are lifetime drug free. They might not be shredded, but they are hardly fat either. They are also crazy strong. It wouldn't take too much to "rip" them up if they went on. Certainly not "abuse" levels, and certainly not year round.
My two bits. I just want to provide some often needed perspective around here.
