Long Term PH Gain Maintenance?

[TorqueGTR04]

When looking at what people gain and keep after a PH/AAS cycle, I always see things like "gained 12 lbs, kept 10 after PCT was over." Great thing to see that much maintained after PCT, but it seems to me that this is a really short term look at maintaining size and strength gains.

I'd like to know how maintainable PH gains are (assuming that PCT is done well) in the long term - say 6 months to a year after the cycle is over.

If someone were to run H-drol or another "milder" prohormone and put on say, 10 lbs, but kept eating and lifting hard during and after PCT. A year from then, if they did no more PH cycles, should they expect to keep everything they gained and possibly put future natural gains on top of that?

Just wanting to take a look at gain maintenance from a wider scope than what we normally see.

My opinion is you never look quite as good as when your in the middle of a nice cycle no doubt about it. But yes you keep as much as possible from each an every cycle and try to never look back..

Im curious about this too, but I think its difficult to measure because in six months, the various habits associated with one's lifting routine may change, by user choice or not. Especially when people go on cutting diets, etc. Without scientific precision and study, its probably too difficult to account for pounds gained/lost. Just my hunch, because Im by no means an expert on cycling or PHs.
