How I see recreational using of AAS, in chart form!!

Once you reach your genetic max, you can't maintain that extra muscle at a low bodyfat. Therefore you have to stay on gear and/or gh.

I just had to reply as I would class myself as a recreational user and I have several friends who probably fit that bill as well. I am not competitive as an athlete, I have used and will continue to use AAS purely for fun and/or to shortcut nature. I don't eat particularly well, besides the fact that I genuinely like meat and vegetables and I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I was probably pushing 30% BF when I did my first cycle - I'm prolly still around 20%, give or take a couple. Just illustrating why I call myself "recreational"
Anyway, all I wanted to say here is that after each of the 2 cycles I have done (separated by 2 years, the last one about 6 months ago) I have seen positive changes in my body that have remained even after going off cycle, even after losing focus or getting busy with work and home and falling off the wagon at the gym. I am now 30, I still eat like I'm 20, and while my friends are getting softer with age, I keep getting a little bit closer to the build I have wanted since I was 16. One of my best friends has a similar experience. I haven't experienced any acute sides from the gear itself (no gyno, no acne, and I think any hair loss was my imagination). So from my perspective, based on extremely limited experience, recreational use is not without its benefits.
On the downside: I failed miserably at PCT my first cycle and spent 6 months feeling like a whipped bitch - I almost lost my job because I suddenly wasn't dominant enough to manage my department effectively. My soon-to-be ex almost caught me the last time, that probably would have cost me my kids. They're kind of an expensive hobby for what amounts to masturbation. I also do not claim that they are harmless - make sure you can make an educated decision regarding cost/benefit. In other words, is the juice worth the squeeze?
for me personally, Imma keep going. There are lots of unhealthy and dangerous things you can do to yourself. Im going with the one that makes me look good and feel good about myself.
