my biggest query is the other mechanisms involved in strenght gain such as neural effiency.
for example, with trenbolone, person will definitely achieve greater motor unit activation and will be able to use more from his motor pool.
muscles can be kept with correct diet and pct, but what about other things such as neural improvements???
i believe that is the reason why people cannot keep super-trenbolone-strength gains unlike other drugs
you know, there are few topics brought up on this board that i have not at least tried/heard/read something about---this topic, however, make me feel about as smart as a fence post.
okay for those that feel as clueless as me--good article here..

and really simple concept:
Strength is also determined by neural effciency. If you spend an
hour a day shooting baskets, you'll presumably get better and better,
and this is to a large degree because of an increase in neural
efficiency. The same thing happens when you lift weights your
muscles get used to making that particular movement, and they
become more effcient in lifting a weight. Part of this is accomplished
by recruiting more muscle fibers to handle the imposed workload.
Increasing resistance, i.e., slapping more iron on the bar, will prompt
your body to recruit more and more fibers, and generally, this
"recruit" is again a subtype of the aforementioned Type II fibers.
Again, it's these fibers that are most susceptible to growth.
and
There are substances called neural growth factors and androgenic drugs stimulate these substances. When this occurs the production of these substances increases and they sensitize the nerves ability to tell the muscle to contract. Biomechanists and physiologists call this, "increased neuromuscular efficiency". Basically, when using androgenic drugs, your nerves become better (are stimulated by the neural growth factors) to have a more accurate and potent ability to contract the muscle fibers that they innervate. You are practically instantaneously stronger!
