Fizeek looks wrong, all show no go. Big natties are forced to become strong, gives them the wide yoked look while definition (from higher bf%) and arms/delts are 'lagging' relative to the roided look. Roiders that actually lift maintain the same look but just scaled up.

This guy has arms and delts, but one look at his neck and face in relation and it just looks off. Never go form over function regardless of drug use

>Why isn't this the new meta?
Because it's bullshit? Every single roider loses their gains when they quit, every single fucking time. You need the elevated testosterone to maintain it and after roids you won't even be close to what a man your age should be able to. Every faggot on this board that says they blasted roids and quit with no ill effects are fucking lying. Period.

>>
>>77313847
>still be stronger than a natty of equal experience (assuming same weight class)
You're literally just pulling this out your ass. No they won't. The strength adaptations of roiders are dogshit cause they relied on quantity over efficiency. They grow so fast they don't develop the same motor unit recruitment and when they quit they are weaker than natties who did have to make the neural adaptations to get stronger.
>>
>>77313850
I hate how this place has devolved into retards just making shit up. You begin to lose adaptations within a week of ceasing training.

Ok I think I'll keep my natty card until my health depends on trt/roids, or there's a civil war or I somehow joined a cartel or something.
>>
>>77313876
Yes, but if you start training again, you regain muscle much quicker and with significantly less effort than it took to build it in the first place. (I.e., some beneficial adaptations are retained long term).
I'm not claiming that you can go off steroids and not lose any gains, but you will have an advantage compared to where you would have been as a lifetime natural.
>>
>>77313902
>regain muscle much quicker and with significantly less effort than it took to build it in the first place
No you fucking don't! Seriously where are you getting this bullshit. Roiders can hop off gear, train till they pass out and in the end, unless they have some stellar PCT protocols, will end up weaker than a natty cause they literally wont have the homone to maintain it. We know the science, any cycle strong enough to get you marked results is going to permanently fuck up your endogenous T production. In fact for many dudes, going natty isn't even possible because they'll have to stay on TRT just to be normal. Shut the fuck up with your retarded bullshit. Far more knowledgeable former roiders have come forward and explained as much, the science of roids & endocrinology is pretty fucking well established. You may as well be trying to convince me that black is white, up is down, you're not a retarded faggot, etc.

>>77313908
No he's actually right.
I roided all through then pretty stopped lifting for several years.
Pretty much lost all gains.
Started up again as natty and the mass back on even faster than when I was on roids.
When you roid you grow more organelles in the muscle cells like mitochondria which pretty much stick around for life.
Now of course as a natty I never got back to the level I was roided but I basically grew to the "natty limit" in just a few months.

You seem very upset throughout this entire thread. Is it roid rage or something else?

That's the whole problem. Starting roids means you have internal issues causing body dysmorphia. If you think you'll just blast for a quick cycle and then hop off, you're sorely mistaken. You won't ever be happy, and will be constantly chasing the next level.

Good luck

They either completely deflate, keep roiding or die.

All it found was that the muscle mass gained from prior training provides a benefit for future training, which is true of both natty and fake gains.
>>
>>77313850
No you don't. You don't retain shit. I blasted and cruised for 3 years straight and within 6 months (really a lot less) I was around where I was before I started. I had a good natty physique so don't get me wrong I was glad I could maintain that, but "keeping gains" is noobscience.

How it works is like this: if you keep eating like you were on gear you'll keep most (not all) of your muscle but will get a lot fatter. If you get disciplined with food you will stay lean but lose significant muscle. A natural body cannot maintain an enhanced body composition, it is a matter of hormones. You have to give up something.
Today I'm in my 40s and around 12% bf (I was 8-10% on gear) and still get compliments on my physique and I don't gross out women. I don't regret roiding it was fun but natty life is better imo. Stressing about sources, risk of infection, legal issues, sides, pinning every day, it's so dumb and the roid tranny thing is true, you start the live the lifestyle of a transhumanist drug addict like a troon.

>>77314934
If someone is 240lbs shredded at 5'10 they are not "completely off". It's mental that this needs to be explained.

Tom Prince is an example of how quickly mass is lost on a pro BB who actually ceases all drug use. Or Bob Paris. Iain Valliere is a drug dealer who likely will never stop using.

Has been the meta for the past 3000 years.
>>
>>77314945
He documented it clearly. When he retired he went on TRT for a while, then stopped that to regain fertility and his test plummeted to like 200-300. He was off for 7 months and only did his fertility program. HCG and FSH helped him get to 650-900 while off test and any anabolics. If you think that's not "completely off", so be it. He's been open and consistent about this the entire time.
>>
>>77313657
That doesn't look healthy.
>>
>>77313669
You keep an increased satelite cell count for the rest of your life which makes it easier to make gains and put on muscle. This is not up for debate.

Every time roiders pin, their natty test production take a hit permanently.
To resemble a man, they often times need to do "TRT therapy", a.k.a continue roiding.
Steroids are for losers, this is a widely known and accepted fact.
>>
>>77313902
This is true and due to greater number of muscle nuclei. That is the mechanism behind "muscle memory" and why anyone who was muscular previously can gain it back easier than a novice can initially put it on. You don't have to roid for it, just gotta get big.
>>
>>77315083
This idiot spews misinformation because he is ignorant and insecure. There is no "per-pin" reduction in natty testosterone levels, you can be on for test for 3 months or 2 years - the amount of reduction will be identical and is temporary. If you decide to get off you have a 98% chance of recovering fine back to where you were naturally.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35000898/
303 men
2 years of testosterone undecanoate injections, followed for 12 months after stopping.
The researchers found that LH and FSH recovered progressively toward each participant's own pre-treatment baseline after cessation. Recovery was slow but ongoing, and the authors concluded that reproductive hormone recovery occurs after stopping testosterone
>>
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16650651/

"A 2006 meta-analysis pooled data from 30 studies and 1,549 healthy men who received exogenous testosterone-based hormonal contraception. After stopping treatment:
67% recovered normal sperm production by 6 months
90% by 12 months
96% by 16 months
100% by 24 months (model estimate)"

While this study focused on fertility, the suppression and recovery occur through the same HPTA mechanism which controls natural testosterone production. There is simply much more data available on spermatogenesis recovery compared to pure serum testosterone. levels.
>>
Just to show what testosterone can do to the common man among all this ridiculous fearmongering. Man, /fit/ has fallen a long way since the golden days..
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11701431/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

20 week duration, no training, controlled diet of participants:
25 mg: ~0 kg (no meaningful change)
50 mg: ~0 kg (no meaningful change)
125 mg: +3.4 kg
300 mg: +5.2 kg
600 mg: +7.9 kg

The TRT dose (125mg) alone puts on 7.5 lbs alone of muscle mass, WITH ZERO TRAINING, a pure dose-response effect of testosterone on muscle as this was the point of the study. We can only speculate how much would be added with proper training.

In this previous study the effects of training were measured:
https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJM199607043350101
So we can roughly assume that the results would be much improved even on the safe TRT dose of 125mg, perhaps 6kg muscle mass added. If you have been lifting for more than 3 years you will never add 6kg of fat-free mass to your body no matter how much you autismmaxx, you need some more test to do that - to get JACKED. Of course if you are a little manlet with normal test levels then it's not necessary because your tiny frame fills out very fast.

for the 20th million time, the study measures "fat free mass" not muscle mass.
and if you plot the weight gain on a graph as kilograms per week, you'd see almost of that gain is in the first 2 weeks because most of it is water and glycogen.
