This question is asked on a minute to minute basis and may just be the worst question possible. There is no such crystal ball that can decipher how much you will get and how much you will keep... There are ideas on what you could potentially make in terms of gains but this question is one of the few I look at as a bad question... It is more so the phrasing and the thought behind... The better question is, "what are the possibilities of what I could obtain from use." etc... Let me answer in short...
WHAT YOU KEEP DEPENDS ON YOU!! Yes, some steroids, supplements etc... have better characteristics in terms of cleaner gains but what you keep is on YOU... First and foremost, when thinking about "keepability" you need to address HEALTH AND RECOVERY FIRST... If you are not protecting yourself on cycle and running an extensive pct or proper trt regiment, you are FAR less likely to keep anything. Recovery is integral in terms of keeping anything... If you do not recover, then how can you expect to make progress? Without health, you have nothing... Beyond this... You need to MAINTAIN consistency and intensity in diet and training... You cannot expect steroids or supplements to do all the work... YOU have to put in the time and effort... YOU have to maintain the discipline... GETTING THERE is the easy part... MAINTAINING is where you earn what you get... Then it comes down to accommodating your wants and goals... Adjusting caloric intake, training needs etc... You have to find and implement what works for you and stay consistent... Yes, if your using a wetter compound, you tend to lose SOME water but it does not mean you have to LOSE ALL YOUR GAINS whatsoever... It's HOW you do things that will determine this... Attempt a short cut and you will learn the hard way... Do things right, work hard, stay consistent and you will be far happier with the outcome... Implement proper bridge cycles in between cycles... Push yourself harder when off cycle... etc... There's a million ways to maintain, clean up and add to gains... Use the right supplements, train the right way, diet consistently and you will be where you want and ultimately achieve more than expected...
