Like get on steroids until you can bench 225, and then get off and just maintain 225 muscle by just benching 225 typa shi?
In: Biology
A couple of things. Once you get buff I’ve heard it is possible to stay that way while on steroids. But the thing is you need the right type of steroids and they are expensive. So once you can’t afford them anymore and stop taking them the body very quickly will lose the muscle and the drive to keep working out as hard since steroids actually effect the brain as well.
I believe there is some body builders out there that have the money and resources that actually keep it up for many years but as soon as they stop they lose energy, recover way worse and are subject to much more injuries since steroids also help with muscle recovery.
If you get on steroids. Hit 225 on the bench and then stop. Chances are your muscles will be weaker. You will get hurt. You can’t work out as hard since your hurt so by the time you go back to bench 225 you can’t since you haven’t worked out and chances are you can get hurt again slowing down the whole process even more. Probably a few things wrong here but since this is eli5 I’m just giving a simplified answer.
