Don't get me wrong - you could gain more LBM that per year, but even AAS users are going to struggle to put on more than 14lbs of dry muscle per year.

If you can reset your hormone levels you could re-start some of your newbie gains, but you're not going to be able to do that year on year.

About 8lbs of dry muscle per year would be ideal. But odds are you are going to gain water and fat and loose some muscle when you diet down.

Its tough this iron game I tells ya
