He is an officer of the law...therefore, he is drug-free.
he's using primo

Something beyond steroids, beyond GH/IGF1, beyond insulin?

if he is less then 5% year round then his organs must be extremely enlarged from growth hormone and who knows whut else , cause ive never seen sumone under 5% with a gut like he has.....EVEN COMPETITION TIMEJumpBallWinner said:I think Ronnie is just a genetic freak. It's my understanding that he was natural for his entire amateur career. I'm trying hard to remember where I read this, I wanna say it's in an old copy of MD that I have laying around somewhere. I also read an interview with him from a couple years back after he gained something like 30lbs more pounds at age 38 and they asked how he did it and he said " I finally got serious about my diet and cleaned it up". Must be nice to win about 5 or 6 Olympias and then decide you are gonna clean up your diet a little. He stated that before he was eating McDonalds and everything else. Still said that his bodyfat has never been higher than 5% and that it's actually been recorded lower than 1% before, I think he said 0.4%. I wouldn't be suprised to find out that the guy actually uses less gear than all the other pros.

Ronnie uses injectable NoExplode.justinjones1963 said:I see him in thos NoExplode ads...I bet that it is they key! (+ 5g of test per week)
Nate82 said:I wouldn't doubt he is using more experimental drugs. What, I don't know, but a pro like him could easily be on the bleeding edge of technology. I mean, i've read about pro's using IGF not IGF-LR3 years ago, before more people probably knew it existed. If you have the money and the will to use something new you can probably do it, and with the popularity that someone like him has, he probably gets approached to try out new stuff often enough.

Mr.X said:AS
GH
IGF-1
INSULIN
DNP
and a few others
but that's it
also, add GENETICS, HARDCORE TRAINING, DIET
inhibit GDF8 (namely anti-GDF8, Myostatin Propeptide, Follistatin).
That is what seperates the men from the boys.
Oh and don't forget about the plasma expanders come the day of the contest.

Well, this isn't exactly my area of expertise but I can give a basic explanation (and I will get a more detailed one courtesy of another individual, but that may have to wait a day or two).
But basically, GDF8 (growth and differentiation factor 8) is part of a family of related molecules called transforming growth factors beta (TGF-b ). This has more commonly come be known as the Myostatin gene. (You may or may be familiar with some of the experiments performed on cattle and mice;however, if you are familiar with them, you would understand the potential of this drug). Myostatin is a gene responsible for inhibiting skeletal musclular growth in humans (and all life as far as I know). Studies performed in untrained animals and livestock revealed an increase in skeletal muscle mass by an average of 2-3 times. This finding is quite remarkable really. (As cited below).
McPherron, AC, AM Lawler, SJ Lee. Regulation of skeletal muscle mass in mice by a new TGF-b superfamily member. Nature 1997, 387:83.
McPherron, AC, SJ Lee. Double muscling in cattle due to mutations in the myostatin gene. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1997, 94:12457
In terms of practical use in bodybuilding rounds, I only know of one individual who has ever used any of this category of drugs. His muscular gains are actually quite unbelievable. Adminstration of 2-4 intravenous injections daily certainly isn't for the faint at heart though. I also would be very scared to ever use any drug claiming to inhibity GDF8 as I would be concerned that it could possibly inhibit a close relative GDF11. Now, GDF11 activity is known to be important for processes such as bone morphogenesis, retinal development, dentin formation (teeth), possibly in kidney development, and possibly in neurogenesis/repair. We also do not know if GDF8 is responsible for more than simply regulating skeletal muscle growth.
In laymans terms, this category of drugs about as dangerous as it gets. There certainly are going to be more and more individuals using this drug as they try to make it in the bodybuilding/powerlifting world. Given its price, administration method, and possible dangers, I don't expect to see this category of drugs gaining much ground in an amateur bodybuilders shoebox anytime soon.
I apologize if I butchered anything there or inaccurately represented something, but its a bit over my head.
