Gains After Cycle

[cmarcell]

I believe it's pretty obvious that one shouldn't take steroids until they gain a lot of mass naturally. Right now I'm about 6'0'' 175-180lbs. I was going to do a cycle, because I've seemed to be at that weight for a while no matter what I eat, I just don't see many increases. But then you hear how hard it will be to gain muscle naturally after a cycle. The article made it look like once you do a cycle you better plan on doing many more of you will have to work much harder than before. What are your thoughts? This is something I want to do, but will gladly wait until the beginning of next summer, or at least winter break if that's the best thing to do.

Steroids taken before you reach your genetic max naturally will catapolt (spelling) you toward your gentic limit. The closer you get to that limit, the harder it is to gain muscle naturally. So, the issue of obtaining muscle naturally after a cycle has less to do with the fact that you've taken steroids and more to do with the fact that you are closer to your genetic peak.

That's not to say that you can't gain naturally after a cycle. You can as long as you haven't already reached the maximum muscle that your body can hold naturally.

I am working out naturally right now but I plan on getting some gear soon but I want to gain as much as I can naturally frist. I just hope I can get the gear I need when I need it, I have about 10 weeks to go naturally.

If you run a cycle, you might see great gains..but in order to retain that, your muscle needs to be mature.. years of working out, years of your body being used to maintaining that type of load.
