A member asked:

Could you tell me how much gains do you lose after stopping steroid use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not enough info: Are you talking about Anabolic steroids or glucocorticosteroids?. What specifically do you mean by gains? Are we speaking about muscle bulk and strength after anabolic steroid use? If that is the case you will gradually lose the gains after the use is stopped.
