Quick gains equals quick losses. A little research will show that actual true muscle growth, meaning increase of actual muscle cell numbers is a very slow process. Most of what we call growth is in fact cell expansion due to water, and glycogen retention. True anabolism takes time. So "quick gains" isn't truly gain at all. I mean, notice how many may add somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-3 pounds per month and sometimes just that amount during an entire cycle. Sure, there was a gain of say 10-15 pounds, however, that gain will net far less as evidenced by scale weight after the user has completed PCT, or is about 3 to 4 weeks into the TRT/cruise. This notion of course is a generalization, but, it is in general a fact. When I see "I want to gain a quick 20lbs!" I think, well sure, 17 lbs of water, not actual muscle.
Think about what our bodies are intended to do in general. Survive and procreate. Does it need to pack on muscle mass to survive? Not really, if at all. It needs energy for hunting, gathering, going to battle, and fucking, and thinking too. One with an average frame, and good muscle mass is fit enough to do the aforesaid tasks. Because of this, our DNA simply put, is not equipped to add a shit ton of muscle quickly, we have to manipulate it to just that with aas, and other hormones concomitant with a very exact diet, and rigorous training. Our physical system is design to efficiently use energy for survival, and becoming a mass monster is not really needed for human survival. One would have to hunt and gather so much game and grain, the rest of the tribe would starve just for the needs go the man seeking to be a giant mother fucker. Look at the baking pan filled with chicken or fish. You'd have to kill a beast of an animal every damn day to feed yourself and your family, let alone the other people who live in your village. Then we would have to have an enormous chicken farm just to supply the damn eggs a bodybuilder would eat. Fuck man, I eat 2+cups of egg whites when eggs are in a meal! My family would starve if that's how I ate, leaving them the yolks maybe. I am comparing our habits as folks seeking muscular gains with people in our genetic history before the industrial revolution, because our bodies have not adapted to the huge amount of food we have available at our finger tips modernly. Obesity is a fairly new phenomena in human history, at least at the enormous level we have today. Notice how energy gets stored as fat primarily. That's our genes at work storing energy for future battles, for long treks into unknown lands to trade for goods our tribe doesn't have or would like to have, for farming rugged terrain BY HAND, for long seafaring expeditions to find better waters to fish. The list goes on.
Yes, again, I was long winded, sorry about that. But, I think I make my point that there are not "quick gains" unless you happen to be genetically gifted in a very unique way. I for one, am not in the respect of adding quick muscle tissue in actuality. There aren't any magic pills, magic oils, magic diets, magic training practices. But, there is hard work, determination, focus,and some chemicals that will help our endeavor in bodybuilding. Further, because of the industrial revolution, we have ample food for cheap to feed our bodies such that we can grow, but iff and only if we are hard working, determined, focused, and have a strategy for conquest. Sounds like a battle, or a hunting expedition, or a gathering plan to sustain the village for the winter to me.
To sum it up, there are no quick muscular gains in reality. We have to work for them, and plan correctly to achieve the goal. This wanton "I'll take this or that and get hella huge" is a pipe dream. Time and consistency is key. Patience and determination are required. The quick and dirty approach will leave one most likely defeated. Before going to battle with an unknown foe, one must wait to see how and what they will do in the face of impending attack, or defensive action. Bodybuilding is really no different.
Shit, I gotta get to work! Have great day folks!
