primo, dbol, deca, test is what those guys ran back then.
they loved deca because it aromatized half as much as test. the guys who were gyno prone ended up with bitch tits and the ones who weren't got away with it, they didn't know anything about AI's back then. that's why if you talk to old timers at your gym they all are so in love with deca.. and dbol didn't require injections so guys you talk to who are in their 50's and older all rave about dbol. go ahead and go up to an older dude at your gym and bring up the convo and I guarantee the first 2 compounds out of his mouth will be dbol and deca!!! if you workout in 3rd world countries where steroids are legal but guys just don't have the knowledge then you will see a bunch of guys walking around with bitch tits!! I see it all the time when I workout in different gyms around the world.
. keep in mind you never hear about the horror stories of AAS use from back then, just the guys who were genetically gifted.. fact is that back in the 70s gyms were hard to come by unless you lived in major cities and even then they were tough and they were fucking filthy ... so guys who juiced or who were into bodybuilding looked far inferior then guys do today.. it wasn't until the 90's when franchises started blossoming and today even in rural areas there are many gyms in each town.
nowadays the younger crowd is more in love with var, tren, GH, and slin.. none of which were ever used back in those days! if Arnold had access to the shit guys today have (training facility, coaches, nutritionists and the compounds) then who knows
the one advantage those guys did have in the 70's was you didn't have soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup and that other shit in everything like we do today!! back then food was cheap too, you could eat whole foods and not have a 4 figure a month grocery bill.. the main problem is today farms are 99% factory/corporate owned.. back then food came from the local farm and was fresh. another problem is the world is too fucking overpopulated and we are running out of food, so processed shit is what is needed to feed so many. USA population in 1970 was 205M, now its 315M. the world population has gone from 3.6B to 7B!! people need to put a fucking cap on it and stop having kids damn you! next time one of these old timers bitch about how 'things were back then' then bring up the population statistic, and whats funny is every one of these old dudes at my gym all have 3 or 4 kids each. so they helped cause today's food shortage
