Until, I bought Anabolics 2009, I thought that tapering was a widely accepted practice to ensure the most successful transition into natural training to ensure retension of gains.
Llewellyn writes, ... this theory is in fact fatally flawed. In order for testosterone to be restored, the body will need to recognise an androgen deficit, not just a drop in steroid usage. Since even one Dianabol tablet could provide the equivalant of a days androgen supply for the normal male, tapetring from 5 to 4 to 3 etc. will accomplish nothing. The athlete's body will still be reading "androgen overload" and will not be working to restore natural testosterone. This holds true for any steroid, not just the strong androgens. Evidence suggests that tapering with mild anabolics like Primobolan or Anavar is enough to prevent delay in hormonal rebound. Instead of tapering, the athlete shoould pay much closer attention to ancilliary drugs such as HCG, Clomid, Nolvadex...
Since Anabolics 2009 is concidered the best reference manual on AAS at the moment, has the above paragraph changed anyone's views on whether tapering is a worthwhile endeavour?
