Lets say there was a magic bullet and you could take it after a cycle and all blood work pertaining to the endocrine system would return instantly to the very highest end of normal.You still would not "Keep your gains" or size and strength possessed/gained on a supraphysiological doses of hormones.
I am not going to get into wether or not I believe PCT or tapering or cold turkey is best way to end a cycle.But your body in the absense of the higher levels slowly adjusts to the current level your hormonal enviroment can handle or maintain..Things such as other drugs and supplements may HELP delay or slow this process but KEEPING or maintaining the level of mass and strength permanently is not possible in the a lower hormonal state.Even if fully recovered from a PCT your hormonal levels are still lower than when on your cycle and at supraphysiological levels.
Even blasting and cruising which is the new trend.You can't take a couple grams and then go down to 100-200 mgs of testosterone and maintain the size on 2 or 3 grams.It will slow down the process but you wont "keep" all the gains .
PCT is more for health than for "keeping gains".People try and restart their endocrine system and get everything functioning again.Now is this better to keep shutting down and restarting? than staying suppressed? is it better to use female fertility drugs instead of letting things return naturally(if they do)?? thats a whole other debate as I just wanted to chime in that wether you use PCT or taper or cold turkey over time your size will return to what level your current hormonal enviroment will allow or support.
And as others have aleady said the guys would grow into their 1 or 2 shows a year.They DID NOT maintain year round.
