I don’t believe this to be an issue of hard work. My personal philosophy on the matter is that of two roads. Suppose you have two roads that both lead to the same destination. One road winds and is made up of very rough terrain. The second road on the other hand leads straight to the destination and is paved. Now why would you want to take the longer road with the more rough terrain? I don’t know? You may like to hike, me personally, I dont like to hike. But I agree with what you said, to each his own. But at the same time if we are talking about the dislike of hard work being a character flaw, then why take steroids in the first place? Surely you can agree that with dedication, perseverance, knowledge, and enough time, everyone who applies themselves to the philosophy of weights can expect to reach there natural potential at some point in time. There are a couple different schools of thought concerning steroid gains. One particular theory that I happen to agree with states that a person cannot keep gains beyond what he is naturally able to sustain. For example, you peak at some point. everyone does. now to go beyond that peak you use steroids, the idea is that you have to stay on those steroids to keep the gains beyond what you are naturally able to achieve. So steroids can take you paste your peak but if you stop use you will ultimately drop back down to what you are naturally able to sustain. From what I understand the average person whose diet and training regime is inline can gain on average about 4lbs of lean muscle per every 100lbs of body weight yearly. Now on the other hand the average person on a cycle can expect to gain 8lbs of lean muscle per 100lbs body weight in a 12 week period. I guess im trying to justifiy or explain my reasons for seeking information on a proper cycle in response to your "wow people don't like real hard work these days. I guess the easy way out is better" comment, and in reality no justification is needed. I want to do what I want to do. As far as your answer to my question. Im lost. The 15% I mentioned earlier was obviously a hypothetical number used to exemplify the theoretical reasoning to your "Id like to see you lose weight" comment, who’s meaning has still not been clarified. And it wasn’t fat I was referring to specifically. It was fat, water, and muscle. So yeah, ( "I am 20 as you can see and need to drop obviously before cycle naturally") No, actually I cant see. I am not equipped with a visual fat caliper, and no its not obvious to me why you would need to drop weight before a cycle. Also, that’s great that you can gain lean muscle and loose fat at the same time, and thank you for letting me know that’s called experience. You cleared so much up for me with that post. You truly are a brilliant man. Thank you.
