I think there is a lot of truth to this. I have no AAS experience but from the reading I've done it seems that most guys that keep majority of their gains or that get bigger year after year are always "on" some compounds, maybe just a low cruise dose or whatever. Also it seems if you follow the guidelines of time off = time on plus PCT then you probably are cycling again before most of your gains are lost. I've seen a few threads where guys are 2, 3 maybe 8 weeks off cycle and say they haven't lost too much yet but they don't seem to update 6, 8 or 12 months later to say if they kept it or not.

It's what has kept me from cycling so far. Personally I would like to do one basic test only cycle, put on 15-20 lbs and never do it again but keep all my gains. I'm convinced it doesnt work like that though.
