I would assume that someone that has reached their natural peak, and then used to go beyond it in strength and size would then have an advantage. Who knows, maybe even those that havent reached their natural peak will have some advantage. Definitely makes it more tempting to at least run a legal DS cycle with proper PCT.
I’d say most people who use steroids haven’t reached their natural potential, at least not when they started using.
My thing is if I’m in good shape and pretty muscular/strong, but not at my limit, will one cycle net me the long-term benefits on muscle fiber characteristics? Will that take my natural limit up a notch even if I didn’t exceed my natural limit during the cycle? To put it in (random) numbers:
-Hypothetical Max Natural Limit: 100
-Current Natural Level: 70
-Level at end of Natty Cycle: 90
So I would gain during the cycle of course, but if I don’t exceed my natural limit, will my natural cap/limit still be at 100, or will I gain the benefits on muscle fiber characteristics that seem to persist, and will my limit now be, say, 110? Or would I have to exceed my limit of 100 on the cycle to keep the increased potential after my cycle is over? That is, would I have to hit >100 on cycle to boost my natural limit?
If one cycle could do this, one cycle or just testosterone and then proper PCT would be a no-brainer lol.
