Muslce Memory and steroids, interesting question!

[SSAlexSS]

Hello all!

You know how muscle has memory and how it is easier to grow muscle again, than grow muscle that you never had. Right?

What about steroid induced muscle? If you bulk up to some heavy steroid size, get off the steroids - would you be able to reach that level naturally?


Reply please

p.s. I do not use steroids. But this question is just too tempting....

Maybe not the same level, but you should be able to reach a level greater than that which you would have achieved without drugs.

I agree with Anabolicum Mister, with out the drugs in the system its doubtfull that the same growth would be achieved or it may take many months of intense training.

its the rebound effect and have seen it on myself muscle memory does exist it's like taking some time of in the gym and coming back u will eventually get back to where u had been

no, I don't think you could get to that point at all without the drugs naturally, I would think one would overtrain himself, just my opinion though, but like one said before, you would pass your normal limit before the cycle a little.

or maybe you could get there, but I would think only for a short time, this might be too much for the body to take.

well as a lifter who has experienced injury, I was at a high of 228 about 6 years ago, after the injury I didnt train for 4.6 years and shrunk to an all time low of 174, I trained hard used a shitload of creatine, andro and protein, and got up to 220 natural........without a 220 hardness dut to drug use.........the muscle wasnt as good of a quality of muscle be I was 220........so seing how I weighed 160 growing up, 174 without training for years then come out of a slump to weigh 220, so I say yeah seing how I had used before............ohh yeah and only after about 2years without training I stayed at 190 for the longest............so If I grew up at 160, used to get up to 230, then quit all together to do injury, then went from 170 to 220 naturally, yeah I think it was alot of muscle memory, but I wasnt as strong as I was on drugs.
