If someone uses steroids, then stops, are they able to maintain the muscle they gained (presuming they continued to lift heavy and meet protein minimums) or will the automatically lose some muscle? Just curious.0

Regardless of what other people might tell you you truly end up losing the majority of your gains. Some people say you lose all of them that is a fallacy.
If you continue to hit the gym with the same intensity that you did while on a cycle and you continue a healthy diet and do your PCT you can maintain some gains yes.1 -

If the drugs cause a level of development about your genetic potential then yes once they are out of the system, those gains will go.2 -

Isn't this statement contrary to the argument you just spent the last page making: that steroids aren't a miracle drug, they just allow you to train harder. So if gains on steroids are impossible without proper training and diet, why would stopping their use but continued training and diet result in lost gains?2 -

They are not a miracle drug in the fact that you cannot just inject then sit on your *kitten* and expect to have an incredible physique. There is no miracle drug, there is no miracle 10 minute workout routine there is no miracle 15 Day diet to lose pounds. Consistency, consistency, consistency is the secret. Each day, every day getting all of your meals in, hitting the gym with intensity Rep after rep.
Unless you have used steroids your self and then have come off of steroids then you don't have the knowledge or the experience to tell others that gains are possible by just sitting on the couch and doing nothing.0 -
You can't speak from experience if you have not taken steroids however you can point to controlled research that demonstrates that people did indeed gain lean mass and get stronger by taking steroids and not training.
By the way, there was a dietary protocol in that study but you have to read the study to know that.8 -
Lol, and everyone in their right mind with decent knowledge KNOWS they are on PED's, yet buy the supplements that these competitors use (because of sponsorship) thinking it's going to help get them the same physique. Hahaha.Gallowmere1984 wrote: »
I wouldn't go that far. There are some people that do HRT because of previous cancer treatments and I don't believe they need to disclose that they are on them.
My moto is this. If you can't admit you are on them or have taken them, then you shouldn't be doing them. It's really that simple.

I don't believe that anyone needs to justify it at all. The only ones who do annoy me are the outright liars. Didn't Phil Heath swear he was natural at some point? *kitten* please. You don't end up looking like a pregnant Belgian Blue without running some serious cycles.
None of those can admit doing an illegal drug with all the sponsors paying them

Depends on dosage IMO. I have a client who decided to do a cycle. Only 200mg a week. He's been off for 3 weeks now and "new" strength and size haven't diminished yet.trigden1991 wrote: »If someone uses steroids, then stops, are they able to maintain the muscle they gained (presuming they continued to lift heavy and meet protein minimums) or will the automatically lose some muscle?

I'd be curious if there is any evidence of this one way or another.
You could make a case for satellite cell changes that could be quite meaningful.

Look. Can we put this matter to rest because some poeple are making valid points on both sides.
That 'genetic potential' thing had me laughing though considering steroids don't affect the 'genetic potential' limits.
You can be nautral and reach a plateau that can be surpassed given new methods of training/diet/performance enhancers etc - but steroids will not alter your genetic potential. Only things like IL-15, IGF, MGF, HGH can make new muscle cells whereas steroids will cause existing cells to enlarge.
Steroids WILL help you with recovery. They WILL put on lean muscle size even if you sit and do nothing.
Some will give you water retention
Others will dry you out
You *can* literally gain and sit around playing video games.
The recovery time and pain blocking capabilities make it a far more enjoyable recovery and training experience. The pumps and instant gratification will surpass natural levels hence drive up your psychological approach and also raise the possibility of injury and future complications due to the pain blocking...
In other words: you can *kitten* yourself up in the long run in many ways using them.
So yes - 99% of people who take them still go work out. But it's a hell of a lot easier. Is it cheating? NO - it's subjective and who cares if they're not competing or hurting anyone else it's their choice. I'd rather a load of gear users living in delusion land about their health and fitness than a load of crackheads who go out and rob old ladies for their fix.
FFMI is a good indicator. I think the 25 range was suggested by some people but I'm not too clued up about it. Plenty of information I dare say if you type in FFMI and 'natty limit' there's a lot more qualified fitness experts that will lay out a few facts.
It's an industry build on insecurities and accusations. Of course it requires hard work either way.1 -
I'm simply going to say this and leave it at rest. For the people saying that you can literally sit around and gain lean muscle mass while on a cycle not doing anything but playing video games. My question to you is this. Have you done this? Have you done a steroid cycle and not worked out afterwords for the entirety of the cycle?? Or are you simply going off one or two studies among 200 or 300 studies? If you have not done so then your knowledge is strictly based upon one or two studies when I am sure there are probably hundreds if not thousands of studies done on this. All of which probably contradict one another.0

Anecdotally it is quite well documented but I'm not sure how one could study/test it. People who use PED's after only a few months of lifting seem to experience a maintenance of LBM after coming off yet experienced lifters who have exhausted their natural potential, seem to relapse down to a similar LBM prior to starting a cycle.
For all the pedants; this is not based on science, merely on many many hours on forums etc.0 -

Note that the non exercise group given steroids showed a significant increase to lean mass
If you have never been on steroids before that I don't want to hear your opinion. There is no such thing as a miracle drug. There are so many variables within the study you showed. What were their diets like the non steroid users the steroid users the exercisers the none exercisers? It doesn't say.
You're free to disregard any opinion of mine you'd like, but I haven't stated an opinion in the post you're quoting. I shared a controlled study. This study is not my opinion, it is a study.
Note: Strength measures in the non exercise group went up. Meaning, steroids increased their strength without them doing any lifting at all.
You Chose one study, I'm sure there are hundreds of studies, you specifically chose one that fits your argument. Within that study there is no information showing diet. That is a big problem for me considering diet has more of a factor on body composition than working out does

Things constantly change because:
1) Media reports on research and it's often media outlets distributing sound-bite conclusions to the public. Often erroneously.
2) Evaluating research properly needs to consider study strengths and weaknesses along with considering the entirety of evidence available on the topic rather than a single study. To use your previous false statements as an example, if we had 200 studies where they gave steroids to a sedentary population and they sat on the couch and didn't gain any muscle, and we had 1 study showing they did, and we properly evaluate the strengths and limitations of those studies we would most likely conclude that in all likelihood, steroids don't add mass if you don't lift. But I'll note that this is just an example, and that there AREN'T 200 studies on this like you falsely assumed so that you could avoid being wrong. But this is a good example.0 -

Note that the non exercise group given steroids showed a significant increase to lean mass
If you have never been on steroids before that I don't want to hear your opinion. There is no such thing as a miracle drug. There are so many variables within the study you showed. What were their diets like the non steroid users the steroid users the exercisers the none exercisers? It doesn't say.
You're free to disregard any opinion of mine you'd like, but I haven't stated an opinion in the post you're quoting. I shared a controlled study. This study is not my opinion, it is a study.
Note: Strength measures in the non exercise group went up. Meaning, steroids increased their strength without them doing any lifting at all.
You Chose one study, I'm sure there are hundreds of studies, you specifically chose one that fits your argument. Within that study there is no information showing diet. That is a big problem for me considering diet has more of a factor on body composition than working out does
bust 'em out
Nah no need Sara. I AM the research
And you're so everyone remembers, science does not equal fact. Science is not fact.
Shoot, Pluto is a planet up to about four years ago LOL oooppps
So science and scientific studies aren't facts...but your personal experience is?
No, science does not equal fact. Why do you think that things constantly change?? Scientific studies show that eggs are bad for you then scientific study show you that eggs aren't bad feel scientific study show you the coffee is bad for you then scientific studies come out and say it's not bad for you. Science is not equal fact. I never once have I ever stated that I am 100% correct on everything I say and that I know everything I don't know where you're getting that from. The problem is you're embarrassed Because you think a science equals fact when we know it doesn't.
Things constantly change because:
1) Media reports on research and it's often media outlets distributing sound-bite conclusions to the public. Often erroneously.
2) Evaluating research properly needs to consider study strengths and weaknesses along with considering the entirety of evidence available on the topic rather than a single study. To use your previous false statements as an example, if we had 200 studies where they gave steroids to a sedentary population and they sat on the couch and didn't gain any muscle, and we had 1 study showing they did, and we properly evaluate the strengths and limitations of those studies we would most likely conclude that in all likelihood, steroids don't add mass if you don't lift. But I'll note that this is just an example, and that there AREN'T 200 studies on this like you falsely assumed so that you could avoid being wrong. But this is a good example.
And I would you know there are multiple studies? I don't have to look at studies, I am the subject. I've done this. Have you?
No I have not used steroids. I did have some caffeine today though, I hope I'll be ok.
Does your oncologist have to have cancer in order for you to consider her opinion?

Wow, that's low. The fact that you brought up such a deadly disease like that you should be ashamed of yourself. Regardless of whether it was intended for me or not the fact that you would use something like cancer and diseases killed so many people to your benefit. You're a disgusting human being. That's being reported0
