I read an interview the other day that Sergio Olivia did about 3 years ago. In this interview Sergio claimed to take deca and dbol exclusively. He said that Arnold was one of the first guys to come onto the scene in the states and encourage others to up their doses and experiment with a variety of drugs. It is common to hear that Arnold's favorite stack was dbol and primo acetate, but I would imagine he took a lot of other stuff too. Nobody knows exactly, but the man himself. | ||

Not flaming or critisizing, but does it really matter that much what Arnold used? I mean, our knowledge, combined experience, and selection of AAS' is probably light years beyond what was in Arnold's day. Even if you ate, trained, and dosed exactly like him, you still wouldn't end up looking like him . | ||

The only person who knows what Arnold was cycling during his bodybuilding career is Arnold himself. -TG | ||

Yup. I wouldn't even bother with trying to find out his cycles. Ronnie Coleman's cycles would make Arnold's look like andro stacks. Arnold is genetically gifted. ------------------ | ||

I've yet to find anywhere where Arnold himself has ever mentioned any steriods he has taken. Of course he took them, but he's Mr. Health Fitness man now and is worried about his image and social status... ------------------ | ||

Here we go again, do I have to remind you that almost every commmon steroid that bodybuilders use today where around in Arnold/Sergio/Franco/Mentzer's day. Also steroids in their day where cheap, legal, readily available and real (no fakes). Coupled with the fact that back then there was no mass hysteria created by the press about what terrible things would happen to you if you took steroids. What was stopping them from taking mega doses? Unlike today where almost every article you read about steroids you are told that your balls will drop off, you'll become bald over night, and you'll turn into a Psychopathic axe wielding maniac. I would hazard a guess that the guy's in Arnolds day would keep upping their doses gradually until they noticed side effects. Every time a new steroid appeared I don't believe they said "I'm happy with the result I've acheived on Dianabol and Deca or Primobolan so I'll stick with them". Bollocks - I would say these guys went out of their way to try new steroids. They were the pioneers of the modern steroid dosing/cycles of today. Their knowledge of how much steroids to take and in what combinations have been passed down from their friends, training partners to their friends, training partners etc. Why do you think certain personal trainers, sports Doctors today, keep churning out proc bodybuilders and top athletes? | ||

Madmitch and strengthmonster are right. I have read a number of articles from the good old boys of yesteryear. They took everything and heaps of it. If you can get hold of an article by John Bubb (I think that is his name) a British bodybuilder who competed against Arnold I remember. Interesting reading. Also I remember going to a seminar of a top pro a long time ago. Not mentioning any names but this guy had the biggest and best quads for years and years. The amount he was taking was enormous, and while he never mentioned names of his fellow pros, he did say that as a rule of thumb anybody who says they are taking little amounts are usually the ones taking it by the barrowload. Also, I know a few 'big name'bodybuilders from the past, big names down my way and they admit now to taking huge amounts of whatever they could get their hands on. These guys could admit to it because they no longer have anything (like their careers riding on it). Above all - we all share a common denominator - that we are human - we may have substantially different genetic potentials but let's be realistic - to get as big and as well shaped as Arnold you are going to need some pretty huge amounts of gear. Just my opinion. Cheers. | ||

I had heard in a biographical book of Arnold that some lady wrote she claimed that he took 27-30 d-bol a day, and didn't specify an amount of primo that he injected weekly. I don't know what he took, and nobody but him will know. It's all speculation. I am curious as to why these folks back in the day never seemed to get much gyno if any at all. I believe they did take big doses, but I don't know if they knew about Nolvadex which would be the only anti-estro available back then. I know duchaine popularized it in the mid 80's in his USH II, but I wonder if they knew about it before. I think they did. One more thing, of course what arnold took doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but who gives a fuck? It's interesting and just a question that raises curiousity. So to the one jackass who posted saying who cares, I say don't post here if you don't want to be part of the discussion. You knew what the thread was about. If you don't like it move on then. | ||

If you read The_Iron_Games post on Gyno you would realise that some people can take large amounts of steroids and not suffer Gyno. Iron_Game says he was using and has used 1000 mg of Testosterone for weeks and never experienced any gyno, but when he added 600 mg of Deca per week then he started to get gyno. Most probably as a result of Deca's progesteron like effects. The guy's back in Arnolds day knew to take Winstrol with Deca. Whether they where told that winstrol would block Deca's progesterone effects by some Doctor back then, or they just found out through experimentation we may never know. Also I believe that with time, your body becomes accustomed to larger quantities of steroids and you are less likely to get gyno. When I first took steroids (Dianabol) after a couple of weeks building up to 4-5 tabs per day, I noticed that my nipples started to itch. But now I can take 8-10 dianabol per day and experience no problems. All without the aid of Nolvedex. | ||

Bigjaw, I couldn't agree more. If you just sit back and think about the whole situation logically, you will come to the conclusion that nothing was holding the older pros back from taking massive amounts. They were cheap, legal, and legit. There was no hype surrounding them, and people really didn't know about their long term effects. Do you really think that those guys really just took 3 or 4 dianabol per day when there was really nothing stopping them from eating 30 a day? Please get real. If you had a bottle of 1,000 ciba dbol tabs and had NO knowledge of what they could potentially do, other than sprout huge muscles, would you only take 3 or 4 per day? Hell, we know what the side effects are, and what problems they could potentially cause, yet most of us (who aren't even pros) still gulp down at least 5 per day! Think about it... -TG |
