Originally when I became a part of this board, I intended to do "just one cycle" to gain some muscle and just try to keep it with hard work and a good diet. Most have told me that I can keep 60-70% of the weight gained. But in reality, isn't it true that no matter what you do, over the years your body will more than likely shrink back to it's "normal" weight range? I've also been told that the "high" that you get while "on" is euphoric and quite addictive. I'll be getting my first experience quite soon, and then I guess I'll know for myself. Would appreciate feedback from the BROS!!! Thanks guys. deltman ------------------ IP: Logged |

Well said, i dont know to many people that just do one cycle if they have the financial means. It is not physically addictive but it IS pschologically addictive ------------------ IP: Logged |

It is very phys. addictive. I am just wrapping up another one, and the whole time while on this one, I have been buying gear for my next two or three. Lets just say I am all set for a while. Sucks that I got to take a couple of months off though. Use your offtime to research and gather all the info and goods on your next cycle. VDEVIL IP: Logged |

I find that it is psychologically addictive, because you get into a groove of feeling good, you see gains, people can see changes to your size and the ego stroke of new max's or passing comments by people on the street just add to the fact. After all of the changes and knowing you will lose some of the mass post cycle, you can deal with the loss and understand the losses and do the most to reduce it, but along the line, things get blurry and you will start to plan your next cycle. Then it becomes a fight between your personality/bank balance and understanding how your body reacts to different analogues etc and you eventually become a pharmachologist of sorts to your own body. As for losing size, you will drop back to your normal weight if you stop all forms of training, you will eventually have an "on" weight and a "off" weight. Gear will help you stay above genetic limits for most parts of the year. Just dont yo yo, gear with training, i see too many people come into the game with either no natural training or trying to max their own genetic limits, take gear, gain size, party with the size, stop training, lose it all, and start the process again. If your in it for life, think of your long term plans, traing hard, use wisely. It will benefit your health more than you can imagine. When my doctor gave me free rein to use sus and deca in a "judicious" way, he also said, "one cycle is never enough". I now believe him. ------------------ IP: Logged |

i think that for me the most addictive quality about roids , is the massive energy levels, and feeling of strength, you get while on, and with test the feeling of youth, these qualities are what keep most , commin back! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Deltman, I continuously read posts that say "I gained 20lbs and kept 15" Well if that were true for every cycle there would be an abundance of 300lb bros on the board. After 5 cycles you would have 75lbs of permanent muscle. It's simply not true. If you can realistically gain 10lbs and keep 6 or 7 you will have a hell of alot of muscle. If you want to know what 7lbs of muscle is like, compare it to a 7lb roast. That's what keeps you coming back for more. IP: Logged |
