AAS to retain muscle mass

[triggernigha]

do certain steroids stop catabolism even if the individual is not consuming enough food to maintain?

i guess they do as some are used for cutting but would like clarification on how they do this and what substances are generally used, if possible.

[p.s.]

All AAS assist in this area, and even on low cal (cutting) diets AAS are used to stop muscle wasting/catabolism. My personal favorite would be test, tren, winny, and nolva during a pre-contest diet phase. But at best all you'll do is maintain current muscle mass, and one should ensure that protein is very high when on low cals to also assist in not losing muscle mass. To gain of course ones cals need to be above maint levels, but not to high or you'll just gain BF as well as muscle even with AAS.

Indeed yes. Maintain high protien consumption always and low carbs. And ALWAYS include lots and lots of fatty acids! They will save yer @ss and make you look very full, lean and all good when on low cals. (still shy on posting pics, huh dude...?)
