You must admit that guys like Arnold, Sergio, Serge, and Robbie had AWESOME physiques even by today's standards. Better than some of today's pros, in my opinion. Plus, they didn't use a fraction of the stuff pro's take today. If you asked the average guy, which physique he prefered. I bet he'd pick Arnold or Serge over Dorian and Ronnie, anyday.

Oh Jesus Christ! Am I the only person here old enogh to answer this? I was training in the 70s... but I didn't start juicing till the early-mid 80s. For the most part the drugs back then were very basic. For orals you had D-bol as king but people took much less...3 tabs was considered normal... anavar was available and cheap comparatively ($20 for 100 tabs... and 10 mg was considered a good dose) and anadrol for the monsters. Injectables were very simple: there was Deca as #1, with Sustanon and a couple tests (test suspesion for the power lifters) and occasionally primobolan, winstrol, and equipoise. Other exotic stuff did show up, but for real availability you were always looking at the same three Deca, D-Boll and Test.
Most interestingly though are the drugs that were there then that they no longer have. There was some bootleg company with a name like BDN (help me out if you remember). They prebottled their own mystery juice... and you gave your self a couploe shots a week without ever knowing what was in it. It was probably just a mix of deca, test, primo, and equipoise... but it was legendary stuff at the time and everybody loved it.

Hmmm... maybe we should have a contest and give Karma points to whoever remembers what that BDN (?) company was called and what was supposed to be in their juice.
Also, a moment of silent respect for Dan Duchaine. A lot of you guys are too young to know how jack $@#% we knew about steroids until he started putting together his stuff. The UNDERGROUND STEROID HANDBOOK is a piece of crap by today's standards... but back then it was the Bible.

I was no pro but local bodybuilder where I lived in the late 70's had D-bol and winny 2mg tabs if I remember right and Deca and a few Test.
SofaGeorge hit it on the head on dose and price. A Test, Winny and D-bol 8 week cycle was around $40 to $55 pins were free. We didn't know what clean up was so no money there.

Dbol had to be different back then. My friend did a dbol cycle and the heaviest dose was 2 pills. He pyramid up from half a pill to 2 a day. He gained about 25lbs in 8 weeks.
I think Ciba dbol was comparable to Spa Ox quality. Thai dbol is great but I would say half as effective.

I just gave Plowhorse and BigMarco Karma for remembering the good old days. God, I remember when spending $50 bucks on a cycle was the norm. You could just walk into Gold's Gym Venice back then and the place dripped of juice. They kept that Underground Steroid Handbook right under the front counter... and if you were green guys at the front counter would go through the book with you and advise you on your cycle... right at the front desk. A block of 25 vials of Deca was $100...$80 if you knew somebody. Juice was so easy to get then that all you had to do was phone the gym and ask them if they could hook you up.
And regarding the Larry Scott story... I was told that story by Arnold's old lunch buddy. All the big bodybuilders of the day met for a big pow wow at Vince Gironda's gym... the subject of the summit was whether to take two d-boll a day instead of one. (They were all 5mg then.)
