My suggestion is "don't!" In the short term, steroids work. But, once you cycle off, most of your gains disappear and the only way you can get them back is to go back on the juice. A vicious cycle begins, like any drug use. It becomes habit forming. You like the way you look when you are juiced, so you keep juicing to keep the look. Health considerations aside, isn't it better to just work your butt off, be the best you can be, with what you have, and be proud that what you accomplished, you accomplished with work and not chemicals. Your friend may be bigger than you now, but your growth, with your efforts, will be longer lasting and more satisfying. You don't know me, so I'll just tell you that I am a "natural" bodybuilder who has never done any "illegal" or "illicit" bodybuilding drugs or substances. I am competing on March 19th in my first bodybuilding competition, a non-tested show, against competitors who may or may not be juicing. And I am 61 years old. So, if this old man can do it "clean," why can't you? Think about it.

Yes, as long as you keep cycling, the gains are long-lasting. As long as you are still on the juice, everything looks great. Try quitting for a year and see where you are then. It's like a basketball with a slow leak. You have to keep pumping it up to make it hard enough to bounce. If you don't, it eventually goes flat. Not to mention what juice does to one of the most important muscles in your body...your heart. With juice, you heart grows like all the other muscles. So, what you get is an enlarged heart and it doesn't deflate. It stays enlarged. Talk to some of the professional bodybuilders who are going through that trama in their lives right now. And, think about some of the pros who have died in the past few years, at a young age. I'm sorry, but it just ain't worth it.
