You know what, two years ago I would have blasted you for saying this when I was always on tren, prop, and hgh with hardly any breaks. Now that I'm pretty much a trt only guy (also 29), I've found that it's totally correct. Eating habits really being the main contributor. None of us ever really take breaks from training so that's a given, and the muscle maturity I feel is huge too. Having the muscle mass for a long period of time seems to make it harder to lose it unless you really try to lose it. What's crazy is that I'm actually getting stronger without blasting. It doesn't make any sense but that's actually happening right now. The real key will be when I diet soon to get super ripped.
I'm in the same boat. After 4 shows and pushing limits of up to 2.5g of anabolics I've reached a point of having a difficult time loosing muscle. Worked my way up to 230 on those amounts and held it for over half a decade.(I competed at 198-212) Now, I do 125-300mg a week doing (moderately)low protein diet and my body wants to stay in the 220-230 range without even trying. Set points are a real thing.
