1982...First Case Of Gyno

[holy ghost]

really? I was always into dbol and winstral when i was younger

What were your experiences with them? Did you blow right up and then lose gains or what happened? What age were you when you started the dbol? Sorry for 20 questions I just find it interesting to see where some of you come from in terms of beginning useages and how your experience was.

my first cycle was deca and test e. i was like 17, so stupid. but i blew up. i was doing like only 200mgs of each or so. but i was lifting since 13 yrs old and already benched 405 lbs before i even started roiding. fun times, but i wish i had waited to atleast 21 yrs. but i won state championships in wrestling and trucked people over in football as well as doing lots of powerlifting comps- 430 lbs bench, clean at 315lbs and squat for 550lbs at 175 lbs bodyweight.good times and gold's gym didn't help either.

I'd be curious if anyone knows of an earlier example.

It looks like Franco got carried away with the dball this year. Oops. And this was right around the time Decca was getting popular. Bad combo.

Incidentally, the guy in the bottom right is Roy Callender. One of the most overlooked and underrated bodybuilders of all time. Awesome.

Nice post!

Yea Roy Callender underrated, he just didnt have a cool name like Lou, arnold, franco, or Montana(lol) but there was a case of gyno before Franco it was in 1978!!!
Do you recall Fred "Rerun" Berry? Here is a rare picture of his best friend telling him its going to be ok.

Hmm seems to be common that a lot of guys started with light oral cycles. How did that Primobolan - methenolone - work out for you that you took?

Can't remember that far back cuz I burned out alot of brain cells in my teens and 20's.. I did win the Mr. Teen (State Im In), Mr. Teen (city Im In) and also set the state teen bench record. I remember going to TJ at 16 years old and bringing sustanon, sten, and primotestin back with me. Anyone remember the old primotestin amps or the old sten amps??? Ahhh the good old days...

From what others have said is that franco was not in the best of shape becuase he was retired .Then in 1980 he watched arnold win the O title .
So he sized up the contest and decided that it was time for him to jump back into the game for one last show .

My guess is that he had alot of catching up to do so your right he prob raised his doses and experimented with other drugs that led to his gyno.

The first guy with gyno was i think reg park back in the erly 70's saw a picture of him at the beach un pumped and walking around he might have had some time off from training but he literally looked like he had a set of tits. i doubt it would have tightened up with a pump.

First off, that's 5'4" Danny Padilla on the upper left.

By 82, test was available but considered the "harshest' of all steroids. The Decca/Dball combo was very popular and the beginning of lots of gynecomastia. A few years later it was Dan Duchaine who theorized taking Nolvaldex - tamoxifen citrate - was a good way to circumvent this. (Very clever man). Later in life he admitted although it was a good theory, Nolvaldex - tamoxifen citrate - was a lousy drug with too many side effects. To this day too many people still use it when in 99% of the cases where it's used, it's useless.

I find it interesting that many of the classic bodybuilders that used d-bol exclusively without reported gyno (especially if your claim of 1982 is correct). Yet when mixed with other compounds gyno is more predominant.

I have read over and over again from people on this board and others that one reason to stay away from d-bol only is gyno....hmmmm.

Nelson do you have any insight on this?
