A few people I've talked to said that you will always eventually lose your gains. I guess I'm lookin' for a few guys who've had a number of years experience, and what kind of luck they've had in keeping their gains without necessarily constantly using AS.     | ||

You will lose your gains, if you stop working out and eating right you will lose everything. If make a choice in your life to train sleep and eat right you will maintain your gains for a long time. ------------------ "Catch a man a fish, he eats for a day.

what lawnsaver said. i see alot of guys in my gym that are constantly on a rollercoaster. they blow up, then shrink, blow up, then shrink..... i always wonder why they waste their money on roids if they are gonna stop working out and eating right after every cycle? | ||

Someone who does AS will always be bigger than those who did not. I see them all the time in my gym. Guys from the 70's who are 55 now. They haven't been on in years but they don't look like the one's who never used. | ||

What you are talking about is muscle memory. That happens with or without gear. I believe what he was asking are the gains permanant. No nothing is permenant. If I was to stop working out and eating properly, my muscle will turn to fat. I will lose muscle tone and my body will transform to mush. If I start training hard and eating properly I will get back to where I was easier because of muscle memory. To maintain gains contiuous training and proper diet is a must to keep your body composition. ------------------ "Catch a man a fish, he eats for a day.

Allright lawnsaver I cant let this pass. First and formost, muscle does not turn into fat. You may get fat and loose muscle but they are two separate things. Secondly, yes it is muscle memory. If you do AS and gain significant amounts of muscle, then years later your will still be "" big"" compared to a non-user. | ||

Most of the guys I know that "used to cycle" are still much bigger than the average gym rat. I always wondered about some permanent gain from past AS use. | ||

We all know what Lawnsaver is trying to say. He just didn't use "proper" terms. Your both right, muscle never turns into fat, but if we eat the same and don't exercise...it "turns" to fat. (Loss of muscle, increase of fat storage....hence the mistaken phrase "turns to fat".) Lawnsaver is a good source of information...give him a break! | ||

quote: It was a figue of speach. If you stop training, do you think you will keep you muscle tone? No you wont! Years later you might keep your size, but how will you look if you dont train and eat right? Horrible. But if you train and eat right again, muscle and strength will come back faster. Muscle memory. Why is it so hard to understand my point?? ------------------ "Catch a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime." | ||
