Thread: steroids in Arnold's day!!

That's funny, I've often wondered about the lack of gyno back then...considering so many have, or have had it these days. Franco's didn't even show up till the 80's. Granted, the dbol was of higher quality back then, and they weren't surrounded by food, chemicals, and plastics that were loaded with phyto-estrogens like we have now.

I heard that Arnold took dbol until he peed blood-then reduced the dosage

Pretty sure that's how all the older guys did it from what I heard

I heard a cycle for them would be like 10-20mg dbol per day, and that's it.
One thing's for sure, doses were much lower back then.

I am with you on this one. I hate the bloated gut look, not hot at all. I miss that look in BB. I think there should be penalties for it, IMO.

no one will know for sure what HE used. but populer steroids at the time where:
primobolan
test
dbol
anadrol
deca

i hate how they posed with sucked abs...just an awkward look...anyway, i always heard they used low doses.

then again people compare them to now day bodybuilders and idk why, considering big back then was 200-230lbs.

BB now is seen with people as big as 276(+-)

im a fan of now day 202's and 212's

I've seen a layout of one of arnolds cycles he does. Not sure if it was real of not but it was something like a 8 weeks on a few different injectables, then he bridged with 10mgs of droll for 4 weeks, then went back on. Not sure, just what i saw.

i think that bloat is from all the hgh? alot of them look like fat guys with a six pack i think it looks shit compared with the old school.. i dont think arnie and them were using things like hgh, igf, other peptides ect...

I second this.

that and diet. bulking has a new meaning now,back then bulking meant you could have a slice of cheesecake once a month or spaghetti with meatballs.... not fast food every week....plus the theory today is more is better and train half A**

it was ALL work ethic back then...a lot of great work ethics these days,not like back then though. less on the dose,clean diet = l ess gyno

diet is key, that is for sure...

bodybuilding was an art back then. You worked out to look good. Today its a die hard competition where the contestants take everything under the sun to be the biggest. It's not healthy. It pains me to say this as I love the sport, but its true. You cant win the Olympia today with dbol & test

dbol an test dont bother me so much.its the hgh an insulin that does.an really the insulin.that shit is no where even close to being heathy.i could make arguments about aas an hgh.but insulin,no fucking way! that shit WILL fuck ur shit up,its a matter of time.
