Everything in moderation...

to me it all matters on the individuals metabolism and genetics. i know of ppl who eat candy and junk ALL year. yet they never gain fat. there are also those health nuts who supplement and diet (eat clean) year round and never gain anything. However, use commonsence; eat better- train better YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

Print this whole thread and give it to your friend or bro or whoever is on the cycle and let them now that DIET is #1! You cant grow if you dont eat, AAS is not a magic solution that will blow you up while you sit on your couch and play playstation.

Diet's the only reason I'm not 5-6% body fat.

One of my bros that I train with started a cycle of deca. He never eats more than twice a day, and it usually consists of mcdonald's and other fast food. I tell him that his diet is more important than chemical supplementation. He doesn't ever have big gains and he usually loses what little he gains. I was just wanting some others opinions about how important diet is and maybe some examples of good and bad progress while on gear due to diet.

DIET IS EVERYTHING, its more important than the drugs. Think of it this way bro. You could have a Ferrari that is capable of going from 0-60 in 4 seconds and can do 200+ m.p.h. But without any gas or oil, its not going to do a god damn thing.
Tell your buddy to get his diet in check and watch the difference, it will be like night and day. If your friend doesn't know anything about proper nutrition, he really has no business using AAS. He also probably doesn't know anything about PCT, which is essential to keeping gains (however miniscule they may be without a good diet).
