Nothing close to what you read about on this board. The shit didn't even exist. There was no GH no Synthol. They had hardcore anadrol and from what I understand Arnolds drug of choice was liquid Dbol. I heard Sergio Olivera talk once about how they used to blend up egg shakes with a whole bunch of Orals. They had no clue about dosages they used handfulls. that is how they gauged things, but it is still nothing compared to todays body buiders. Look at the differences in the leg development. FrankZane won the Olympia at around 180lbs. I don't thinkhe would win today. But the Movie is the balls i need to find another copy. | ||

They don't sell Pumping Iron anymore.....people sell it on e-bay for like 50 bucks......I just rented it from blockbuster and dubbed it for 2 bucks... P.S. in an interview in Muscle Fitness Arnold said they are doing a new Pumping Iron ...he didn't say much else about it..... anybody know anything about it? ------------------ | ||

Supposedly in April HBO is going to run the original Pumping Iron along with out takes from that film. Then there is supposed to be an updated version of the movie with contemporary stars. I don't get HBO so I have no clue if it is playing or not. | ||

I heard Arnold's favorite stack was Primobolan Depot and handfulls of D-bol. And of course they all used test and deca but they sure were limited in the type of drugs that they could use . No slin, IGF-1, GH, Synthol,PGF2,Parabolan and whole bunch of other shit. I wonder what Arnold would have looked like in his prime if he had the training knowledge and drugs of today . Judging by his genetics , I would have to say he would have been a freak and rival the likes of Ronnie Coleman and anyother Mr.O contender. | ||

You are right about the fact that they didn't have gh or slin, but even Arny had calf implants. I'm not sure when in his career he got them, but he did compete with them. ------------------ The land where possesion is legal! | ||

I think if Arnold competed today he would look somewhat like Roland or Gunther. He would not win the Olympia! [This message has been edited by Big Wiggs (edited April 07, 2001).] | ||

Arnold should enter his own contest and the olympia and just win it all at his old age. He still could beat some of those jackasses. HAHA All u can say is arnold's the man. To be the best at what u do in the era that ur in , U cant compare him to today. | ||

I'd have to agree with you Organon Canon about the calf implants cause in the movie'Twins' , even after all of those years out of the training circuit for competitions, he still had freaky looking calves. But also on the other hand if he had access to slin and GH , he might not have had to get those implants. And to any of you that don't think he could come close to beating the likes of Ronnie Coleman if he had access to today's drugs, you're not being realistic. Have you forgotten the era in bodybuilding when all of a sudden some of the pros were showing up on stage with 25-35 extra quality lbs of mass than the previous year. This was right around the introduction of slin and Gh, what a coincidence ! I would confidentally say that if you stuck Ronnie Coleman, Nasser Elsonbaty, Markus Ruhl or whoeverelse you think is the best in your oppinion back in Arnold's era , you would see what I mean. If you took those guys and deprived them of their precious 18-24 i.u. of Gh/day along with God knows what other crap they're using, you would see them all looking really pathetic and not sporting anywhere near the mass that they do today and also wouldn't hit the low 2-3% bodyfat levels either. Remember the young Lou Ferrigno who competed back in Arnolds era and the new and improved, but much older Lou after the availability of these drugs were at hand? The difference was night and day and it sure wasn't whey protein or anyother crap like that responsible for the drastic changes in his physique. Sorry for going overboard with this post but i'm sick and tired of hearing how much greater today's pros are than the ones of 20 plus years ago , cause the majority of the changes you see in today's BB 's is drug induced.

ONE OF MY STEPDADS FRIENDS USED TO BE A BBER IN THE MID-SEVENTIES-YOUD THINK YOU WERE TALKING TO A COMPLETE MORON-THEY USED TO TAKE LIKE 30 OR 40 DBOLS A DAY YEAR ROUND! THEY USED TO TRAIN LIKE THREE TIMES A DAY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK! HE WAS TELLING ME HOW HE USED TO WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND TRAIN AND HOW PISSING BLOOD ALL THE TIME WAS LIKE A RIGHT OF PASSAGE-THEY DID NOTHING TO DETOXIFY THEIR LIVERS! BY THE WAY, ARNIE SUPPOSEDLY HAS A MASSAGE THERAPIST WHO MASSAGES HIS CALVES LIKE 6 TIMES A WEEK TO HELP DEAL WITH THE PAIN. |
