Would any of you know what the typical stack of the pros from the 70's looks like? People like Arnold, Lou and Franco. They had the physique that I want and they're all still kicking today so I would imagine that their stacks were "safe", if you will. Seems to me that the pros of today are in for a world of hurt in a few years after all of the huge, huge, HUGE amounts of shit they do. Just wondering.    | ||

Not sure bro! Sorry! I would imagine something like deca 400mg/week and Dbol 35mg/day. Not sure though. | ||

ARNOLD had heart problems. Many studies have shown that AS use/abuse can have irreversilbe effects on the heart. Does anyone know if Vince Gironda had similar problems? I AGREE WITH YOU THOUGH- their cycles were a hell of a lot safer than today!!!!!!!!!!! just something to consider.... | ||

Arnold's heart problems were heriditary. Gironda died at the age of 80, and was adamantly opposed to steroid use, although he knew Scott, Howorth, et al. were taking them. For those who think that all cycles of past pros were "safe", perhaps you should take a look at guys like Steve Michalik | ||

Arnold's mother suffered from the same heart problem, so I wouldn't go blaming it on the gear. | ||

shit I see lou ferigno everyday and he is still huge, I can tell he has been on a run, because three months ago he wasnt as big and hard and liney as he is today, but I say big lou goes around 265, he is still big as hell, no legs though in the upper part, but his calves are okay. | ||

There cycles were all mostly safe, duration is what hurt some of them. Its not cool on the guts to be chewing on 17-alpha alkalated dianabols for 8+ months. | ||

I wonder if you guys remember Steve Revees, there are a million pictures of him on the internet, sort of b-movie, bodybuilder from the early 60's. The guy was at least 6'2", had a 51 inch chest and a 29 inch wasit. He looked great. | ||

Reeves was 6'1" and 215 in his competitive days. He said that he was always natural, but rumor has it he was using primo and test back in the late 50's/early 60's (after he had stopped competing, but was making those really bad action flicks). |
