I've not used steroids in the past, but then I've not "seriously" pumped iron either. I'm in my late 50's and started a serious workout program 10 months ago and have made descent gains in muscle mass. If I run a cycle of say Dianobol w/Proviron, how much of my muscle gain can I expect to keep after I go off cycle provided I maintain my intense workouts?

It is very hard to say what is the percent of muscles you will keep, because it depends on many factors that vary from individual to individual.
Keeping muscles after the cycle is off depends on such factors like:

- correct Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) which includes total Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular Axis (HPTA)recovery.
- wise training
- proper eating
- good resting
- taking such supplements as: tribulus, creatine, glutamine and for sure multiminerals and vitamins.

In any case it is not possible to maintain the size you gained with steroids (which means more testosterone) with just your own testosterone production. You will just shrink down to the size that can be held with your own testosterone production.

2 Alexico:

Have you started your cycle?

No. I'm waiting until November when the 8 - 12 wks "off" cycle is up from Halodrol 50 (Gaspari Nutrition).

Ok, good luck and do not forget to share your results with members
