I believe this for the most part also, with one exception. I speculate that perhaps if someone who has not achieved a great level of development uses AAS and then goes off he has a greater chance of keeping the gains since they are not near their genetic potential. Someone like myself who has been lifting hard for 20 years goes off a cycle, it is a bitch to keep the gains if you do not go back on within a couple of months, especially if you have done many cycles in the past.
