Can muscles shrink while on AAS by over-training?

[LoneTree]

Do you think that muscles can shrink in size or decrease in strength by over training even if you are on AAS?

 

[view]

yup. Been there done that.

 

[biteme]

Absolutely. They'll shrink if you don't eat enough as well.

 

[Watson]

Yeah, I just had that happen with my arms. Overtrained them and I was on fina.

 

[LoneTree]

Absolutely. They'll shrink if you don't eat enough as well.

I know that you have a lot of experience, but I beg to differ with you.
In my first cycle, I lost fat and gained muscle. I did eat enough protein. But that can only happen if you don't eat enough.
In a recent poll, 2/3rd of the responders agreed that you can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. That would happen only if you eat less.
In my second cycle, I have not been eating enough. But I have at least not lost any muscle and definitely have lost fat.
Probably, the effects are different with short term use compared to long term use.

I was on a cycle and tried that myoplex crap because of all the protein it contained. I was eating less calories, but more protein. I began to drop weight and some of it was muscle.

In my experience it's better to under train than over train .

When I under trained I just stayed the same , when I over trained I lost .

 

[ryan04]

So what do you consider overtraining? Is 16 sets per muscle overtraining?

 

[Watson]

Even when I'm on high amounts, if I don't eat enough then I can literally see myself shrinking. It sucks. Makes you hate food having to stuff your face every two hours.

Absolutely. They'll shrink if you don't eat enough as well.

muscles shrink if you don't eat properly period. over train muscles and eating will make your muscles just grow. imo. "the more you train, the stronger and bigger as a train" EAT EAT EAT!
