Now from the people you described that doesnt sound like the issue. You talk about your friends. Their issue sounds like diet. Nobody likes to hear it but diet is the most important thing. I cant rememeber the quote i read the other day but is was something like "you need to spend more time in the kitchen then the gym to get big" and its true. Most dont want to hear it. Most honestly dont know how bad their diet is and dont spend the time looking into it.
You're probably right. I'm sure diet had something to do with them not keeping gains. But, there has to be someone one there that cycled with proper diet/training/rest and has some sort of input. If out of 100 people, everyone who cycled returned to their natural weight or natural weight in proportion of body fat, 99 returned back to where they were before the cycle, then it can be concluded that steroids do not provide anything other than short-term results. Unfortunately I haven't seen any studies like this and that is why I'm on here asking these questions.
