How do you fuel your Mito (mitochondria) and ensure the highest quality cell replication and function?:
Short answer, boost thyroid and feed Mito with Uridine, Inosine, take NADH to support ATP.
--A thyroid test should always be done before taking thyoid stimulants, IMO
Long Answer
I am no scientist, I am just a ex BB who is trying to become un-disabled after taking Cipro/ fluoroquinolone antibiotic and suffering 400+ muscle strains. I have however done a lot of research that may be of some benefit to the BB community. If for some reason I make an error please forgive me.
Here is a simplified pyramid I made:

Mitochondria Mitochondria mit mito
You feed your body food for energy
You use hormones to increase messages to build muscles, etc.
But what are you feeding your Mitochondria?
Mitochondria use Pyrimidine nucleosides to build nucleic acid and to fuel mtDNA replication.
In a normal healthy person, homeostasis is achieved though diet and normal cell cycles.
However, in some conditions, usually through toxic drugs, DNA mutations, these pools of energy get depleted.
If a cell's mtDNA drops below 40% the cell's respiration plummets to below 10%. this could result in increased size but less strength. AAS could fuel energy but burn out a person because their mtDNA becomes depleted through a lack of dietary/supplement Pyrimidines, then when off cycle they will crash harder.
Lethargy and other problems would persist until mtDNA reaches the right level to fuel the new tissue, and a new homeostasis is reached.
Could increasing cellular function through pyrimidine and RNA supplementation result in keeping more AAS gains by achieving homeostasis sooner?
A cells mtDNA is a major factor in all its functions and studies have shown that a replicated cell can be created with a similar capacity or less than the original.
Studies have shown that supplementing Uridine restores the energy pools and cell respiration, in people with mtDNA depletion. These studies show mtDNA damage from HIV drugs, but it's my theory that increased hypertrophy through AAS can lead to a similar depletion. In either case homeostasis is broken.
mtDNA below 40% = less than 10% respiration
mtDNA above 40% = Greater than 80% respiration
It's also true that thyroid function has a direct affect on Mito function. A less active thyroid can result in 50% less Mito activity, an optimum thyroid can likewise raise Mito activity by > 50%.
This thyroid/Mito relation may be why t3/t4 can create better results with AAS.
I would recommend any BB to look into
NADH-Helps electron transport system/Mito function
Uridine-Make sure Pyrimidine pools are 100%
Inosine- Helps improve nerve function. helps Pyrimidine pool activity.

MitoCarnitine.

--SAFETY, it is said that RNA rich foods and supplements can flare up gout due to too much uric acid.
However, even with optimal mtDNA function, scar tissue, rouge cells that escape the p51 regulation system, and DNA adducts can still lead to improper cell replication, and more scar tissue. Lipase and protease digestive enzymes have been looked at the heal scar tissue and break apart damaged DNA for repair.

It's my theory that Pyrimidine availability and available cellular energy directly affects the quality of the new cells being produced and that depletion of mtDNA through increased cell proliferation may be one cause of burn out and lethargy, and loss of AAS gains while new homeostasis is reached.
