I miss the late 80s gear

[tommy39]

I just responded to another thread and got me thinking of 1988 thru the early
90s. Man I was 19yrs old in 88 and ALL the gear was good. I mean i never even heard of a fake for years after i started cycling. Bad thin was i had no internet so my knowledge was all gym buddy hear say. Man the damn test
suspinsion water based was mind blowing. You be jacked the SAME day of first inject. Twice a day and you were a diferent person. The deca all the test
and orals were cheap and good. Everyone didnt have laser jet printers and crap to put out the fakes. But hell it was cheap so why would they. I had some anti estrogen i think was not real once at around 20 yrs old but never bad gear. I miss the reliability and quality of those days. Oh well I just wanted to rant.

suspension is really that amazing?

 

[gautho]

Yep, I remember, good ole steris suspension. Those were the days!

 

[tommy39]

suspension is really that amazing?

well then it was but I havent done any in 12 to 15 years. All prop and enth. now. I came across some about 4 yrs ago but looked real cloudy and funny.
I didnt buy it. Amazing is and understatement, I have never felt so strong and
good in my life as that stuff. It was almost eurphoric. I was in a great mood all the time on it. it was addictive as i only didnt use it when i couldnt get it
which was money being low. I did have acne on my back and shoulders from it though.

Bad part about it was in 1990, I was 24 years old and searched high and low to score on some gear...I looked as early as 1984 and could not find any. So bro's on my football teams were clearly juicing, but would not give away any info.
I stopped looking in 1994 when I broke my leg and stopped training. When I resumed training in 2000....I did not even think about gear until one day in 2003 when I picked up an Ironman Mag...Then I joined EF in 2003 and the rest is history. LOL

well..... think no one had internet in 1988 bro...

 

[cityhick]

I dont know how the fuck all you old vets did it..... Being 19 I have grown with computers and they evolved just as much as I did. So it was only natural to look online to do research and luckily THANK GOD I found this place. Or I prob would of ended up getting some shitty DBol and run it all year. And wounder why my I would have more fun playing with my tits instead of my girls. How did all you old vets use ANY PCT? What did PCT look like if any? Ever have lasting problems like Gyno from never using PCT? Just cuious not meaning to hijack thread.

HCG, Nolvadex, clomid were all available. Bridging very common.

First cycle was in 87 senior yr of highschool, 300mgs of Deca made by Moore, and the 2mg winstrol tabs made by Winthrop. I remember the late 80' and early 90's gear very well.

 

[BigCracker]

Yep, I remember, good ole steris suspension. Those were the days!

I had it too-some guys used a sledge hammer to bust through the outside wall of Steris Labs in Phoenix. It got them right inside the caged area where all of the AAS were kept. That stuff flooded the local market for months. It was excellent and cheap. That break in was the catalyst that started the DEA on a major local investigation where just about every dealer I know got popped. Things dried up for quite awhile and the prices have blown up ever since. And to think Sos preloads used to cost less than a pack of smokes? And Steris Cyp 10 ml/ 200 mgs/ml costed less than a newly released DVD!

Notice how I danced around the EF no price discussion policy? Hopefully it doesn't matter because those days are long gone anyway. Today's pricing isn't even close to what it was pre 1990.


The fakes back then were easy to spot too. The exp date/lot # would be printed in the same ink as the label. It wasn't stamped like it should be. No holograms. No boxes or package inserts either. The caps were so cheap you could twist them off with your fingers. The glue on the labels was super cheap and you could peel them off in one piece. These days it's a crapshoot no matter how legit the product looks.

 

[cityhick]

But would you say it was more rare then todays AS use? How about the early 80s and before? I have heard the stories of coachs handing out DBol to players and they didnt even know what it was... so obviously they would have no idea about HCG. Novla. Cloimid. Anyone have exspirences like that?

The only pct I knew of back then was hcg EOD the last 2 wks of your cycle. Nolva was used to combat gyno mid cycle, and that's about it. Keep in mind this is well before The Underground Steroid Handbook and Anabolic Reference Guide were printed. No internet resources for 411, supply, etc either. Most athletes didn't know shit about AAS and had experienced BB's mentor them on what to take. Half of them didn't have a clue either though. lol

Haha thats what I thought. Shitty.

 

[PEDRO-G]

remember the Syntex abombs, Deca by Lemmon,Moore,Rugy,lypomed. EQ by Solvey and Squibb, Methytest by Rugby. the good ole days.

 

[TracDT1]

Man I wish I was 21 back then lol

 

[ItalianMuscle27]

I actually miss my 70s gear more.. I wish I didnt sell my Atari!

Pong and that retarded hand held football game w/ the red dots were the shit back then.

Anything that wasn't a Slinky, Etch A Sketch, or GI Joe w/ Kung Fu Grip was super high tech.

 

[ItalianMuscle27]

That football game was cool. I actually have the coleco head to head baseball still. And it works..

Things started drying up in that time. I was able to get Syntex Anadrol in the bottle but the first kind was Syntex Oxitosona in the box and foil packets. Also, deca by, I think, Organon -- little 2 mil vials with, I think, a blue flip top. Also, some amps of Primoteston. That was 1989. Those were not good times for steroids. That's when things dried up. You have to go back to early and mid-80s for the real steroid hey day, from what I have heard and seen (the YMCA by my house had monsters!) When I went in there in 1990 I remember a guy telling another guy that it used to be a like a "candy store" in there. He was comparing the "old days" or early 80s to 1990, which, again, really sucked for getting steroids. You had to get them from Europe in 1989-1992 if you wanted to get anything real and good.

I bought the following from a gym in Amsterdam in 1992 (talk about a candy store):
Spa Anavar
Pronabol (d-bol)
Deca
Parabolan (Negma -- real deal)
Test Theramax 250
HCG.
All of it was real human grade pharm, except the Deca which was International Pharmaceuticals which was European UG but extremely highly regarded by folks in the know. They were brown 10 ml bottles and very effective "gear" -- the term used by some British bodybuilders I met in Amsterdam.

 

[kmoe42]

ya when my uncle was in college in the early 80s their team doc gave them all anavar and test (not sure wut) my uncle didnt know what it was either.. but he said he was so jacked up on that stuff it was amazing.. no pct no anti e.. no nothing.... they also shot them up with novacane in the locker room during games if they were hurt or broke something.. just thought it was i nteresting

You must've been rich. I had the lame-o single player one by Mattel. I think they still sell them at radio shack around X-mas time for $4.99.

Thats so true mate,

I remember getting my first copy Underground Steroid Handbook and Anabolic Reference Guide mail order, which i still have now. It was only then that people started to learn about gear well at my gym anyway. Prior to that it was all word of mouth and trial and error, come to think of it more like Chinese whispers. France used to produce great gear like Testosterone Heptylate and Parabalon. Primo and Anavar was affordable and everything was human grade.

But now we have better PCT and Arimadex makes Tests a lot more attractive, here in the UK prices are the same now as they was back then.

F*ck i sound like a right old c*nt now.
