ill put in 2cents here. i started aas this year and have ran two cycles, looking to bulk on each but burn bf also. that was my intentions, nomatter how anyone says the shit worked, that was my goals.
so, i ate clean, ate alot of fucking protein ed, trained like a maniac, and after two short cycles, one being test e and anavar and other being test prop. i weigh the same but my total body composition has changed from moderatly overweight with nothing to show for muscle despite 2.5 years of lifting, to an athletic strong looking body.
started at 235 pounds, i weigh 235 pounds now after pct of second cycle and have much more muscle, so that tells me i burned alotta fucking fat. did cardio too.
just my two cents, the thing with adding muscle and muscle mass burns more fat is true imo. which is why i will continue.
i've also dropped 2 pants sizes, or rather from 40 to 36. and maintaining. aas helps in this department in the long run. even eating big as long as it's all healthy food.
