Honestly if you do decide to do steroids you just have to be prepared to lose your gains. Unless you have Arnold like genetics your gonna lose your gains I spent over $400 on my pct and did the entire ef pct and still lost my gains I eat over 3500 cals a day and have as intense of a workout as you can. It's pretty much up to your genetics whether or not you keep gains
That is complete bullshit. You don't lose all of your gains unless you did something wrong. It just doesn't happen like that. True that coming off you will lose a little, but most of it can be retained with proper PCT, Diet, and training.
