Well this should be fun, but first before anyone says anything, think about this. When someone on this board says that they read an article about some new drug for building mass they usually get loads of responces asking where they can get this new wonder drug? or when is it going to be available? Do you think the guys back in the 60's thought the same way? You bet your f*****g arse they did. Ok Russian weight lifters where using Testosterone since the 1940's. Dianabol and Meythltest have been around since the 1940's. Nilevar 1950's Anavar, winstrol, Deca and Primo I believe were all around in the 1960's. But now for the biggy. Anadrol 50 - first intruduced - 1960 Now who believes that Scott, Arnold, Olivia, Franko etc. only used Dianabol, deca and Primo?    | ||

What I am trying to say guy's is this, although there is a size difference between the pro's today and the pro's of the 1960's. It is not really that much. Arnold had 22" arms at his best, Coleman has what - 23" arms? Arnold competed at 235 lb's where as up until recently Coleman competed at 265 lb's. The guy's in Arnolds day trained like maniacs, sometimes training each bodypart 3 times per week, training 2 or 3 times per day. Most pro's today only train each bodypart once per week training for not more than 1 hour per day with weights. So what I am trying to saying is this, steroid usage in Arnolds day must have been pretty high, to enable them guy's to recover from training 6 days per week 2 or 3 times per day. Somehow I don't think the guy's in the 1960's where just taking 3 or 4 dianabol per day and some primobolan acetate to recover from training so often. What do you guy's think? I personaly think they where using Test, Nilevar, Anadrol and what ever the hell else they could get thier hands on. The 3 or 4 dianabol per day bullshit was just a Red Herring. Exactly like Lee Priest and his 200 mg of Deca and 100 mg of primo per week bullshit. | ||

Anyone read the muscle mag article that said Serge Olivia had a "candy bowl" of mixed orals. In his biography it said Arnold would down handfulls of dbol and chase it with milk. The same biography said Steve Reeves introduced him to Primo. What's one to believe? | ||

Well, you have to remember that back then, all of those drugs were legal. More than likely, both the short term and long term side effects were not totally understood. Think about this for a second. What would you do under those circumstances. If dbol was legal and you didn't know what the long term effects were, would you ONLY take 3 or 4 per day? I don't think so. I don't care how good Arnold's genetics and work ethic were, 3 dianabol pills were not enough to build a physique of that magnitude. I feel sorry for people who truly believe that. -TG | ||

There's a guy at my gym that is a buddy if arnold... has a bunch of pics with him and arnold, so i know he isn't full of shit... Arnold's favorite was primo and dbol... He would do 20-25mg of dbol for 6 months with 700mg-1000mg of primo... For the first 8 weeks he usually used test prop... Thats what i have heard. | ||

Ghost - your comment about not knowing the long term effect of a new "legal" drug yet jumping to use it........ Isn't that what the majority of bros are doing now with FINA!!! | ||

bmpnugls, I don't really know. I imagine that is probably the case. I just find it VERY hard to believe that when steriods were legal and people didn't really know what they did to the body, other than sprout huge muscles, that they only took 3 dianabol pills per day, keeping their health in mind. Of course that's what they are going to say if somebody asks them. With the majority of the public so negative on steriod usage, do you really think that these old pros are going to admit to what they were really taking? Especially a high profile individual like Arnold? I doubt it. They say things like, "well, they were legal when I took them, but I really didn't use that much. I just used a little bit to give me that extra edge..." Yeah, whatever. Granted, I do not believe that Arnold or Sergio used nearly as much as the pros today use (just compare physiques and it should be obvious), but I also will never believe that Arnold built that herculean physique on 15 mg of dianabol per day. If I was in the same position as Arnold was back in the seventies when these drugs were legal, plentiful, and cheap, I would have thrown them down in large amounts too. Just don't ever expect any of them to reveal what they really took because of the potential negative reprocussions about anything they say. I doubt Maria even really knows what Arnold took back then. -TG |
