Keeping Test Enan LBM Gains vs EQ/Deca

[specforever]

After researching quite a bit I am still a bit confused as to why certain AAS LBM gains are harder to keep than others. Why would LBM gains from test be harder to keep than LBM gains from eq or deca? Does the equivalent dose of test enan on average give more LBM gains than say eq or deca at the same amount?

I have read conflicting opinions of test on various boards, some say it is the premier mass builder others say taking it alone mainly results in weight gain via water retention and fat buildup. Fo people looking to do a limited number of cycles ie 2 to 3, does it make sense to use test alone, if as frequently alleged, the gains are unkeepable? Why are Eq and deca regarded as inducing more quality lbm than test , I thought lbm is lbm. Or is it that test induces too much lbm which cannot be sustained once off the test, if that is the case then shouldn't people who only want to do a limited number of cycles stick with deca and eq or do the LBM gains you lose off test put you at higher baseline than with eq or deca. (also note, I do not want to stack) Sorry for the lengthy, possibly confusing post.

Thanks guys.

I am a firm believer that one does not need to stack 50 different things to get good results. A test only cycle is an excellent cycle. The losing all your gains with test crap is just that, crap. Sure if you don't use anti-e's, and gain 20lbs, 5-10 of that is probably water, and you will lose that, but muscle is muscle. Hope that helps.

I believe that the reason people feel they lose the most from test is because they lose all the water weight. As far as lbm, if you use anti-e's and drink plenty of water test shouldn't be any harder to keep then eq or deca. Say you gain 20lbs on test but 10lbs of it is water which you will lose when you stop, then say you take deca and gain 10 solid lbs and you keep all of it. In both cases your gaining a total of 10lbs, the only thing your losing is the water weight from the test. If you don't want the water weight just stack up on some armidex, drink plenty of water, and watch your sodium intake.

lean body mass is just htat , lean body mass, if you eat like a pig, do not watch your carb and sodium intake and you will gain fat and water weight along with lbm. Test is the king!
