I'm going to elaborate on number #10 listed by Nelson, which is more complex than it sounds, and usually people don't get it. Even experienced users make the same mistake. People plan their cycle, and diet at the same time. Perfect. Everything is on track. Ready to start bulking up. They start the cycle, they eat like a horse, they gain great muscle, but when the cycle is over, they stop "the ON diet". That is a huge mistake. People don't understand that muscle, is not normal. The body is designed to naturally carry a little amount of muscle. Just necessary for daily tasks, run, hunt, jump, etc. Extra muscle, the body will fight to burn it off. Because extra muscle means more nutrients wasted to unnecessarily keep it.
The only way to help the body keep the muscle while off steroids, is to consume large amounts of good quality protein like GEAR or BIG BLAST. Otherwise, you will lose it. Once you increase calories to gain muscle, that amount of food must stay the same forever in your life to keep that amount of muscle weight. If not, it will be burned. Simple science. It is true that coming off, you need to modify the diet, because while off steroids, the body will not process fats and carbohydrates as efficiently as it did on cycle. However, that's the reason why protein must stay high or even higher, and even like that, some muscle will be sacrificed anyways. The natural endocrine system of a human, is not designed to sustain that body composition.
It is a tough lifestyle but that's the way to go if you're gonna be cycling on and off. The other option is to never come off, if you are doing it as a career. You cycle, then go low to high HRT doses, then cycle again and so on.
Great info brother! This holds very true also. For most its a mindset thing and its so much easier to get geared up and keep your diet in check when on then slip once your off. I strugled with this when my last cycle was over.
