[SofaGeorge]

Fuck..bros im only 19 and lovin this post......good to hear.Vets talkin about stuff like this.... the beginings of Anabolics in the USA.... ...very very interesting...oh and Btw in my oppinion todays pros SUCK...they are disproportional and on way too much juice..... Arnold and others in his time...is my kind of BB'
Just my .003 1/4 cents

A friend of mine made CONAN THE BARBARIAN with Arnold. He told me that a couple weeks into filming Arnold decided to start juicing and make a comeback. (Great promo for the movie.) He said it was phenomenal to watch. Every day Arnold got more and more muscle. He said Arnold told him he hadn't juiced for more than a year when he started that cycle. (This would have been in 1980... I think.) Can you imagine an modern pro going a year off cycle?

Bolasterone (myagen)

This was originally a popular oral steroid being used in Europe. It had functions similar to dianabol, but it has long since been discontinued. Several years ago bolasterone became the first big name counterfeit steroid to be internationally marketed. Belonging to a group of steroids titled the DDR compounds, inferring that they came from East Germany, this steroid was billed as the best drug ever made. It became very popular partially because several respected steroid experts were in on the production of it, and gave it rave reviews in their publications. Thousands of 30 cc vials of this injectable steroid were sold at a price of over 200 dollars a piece. It was said to contain ten miligrams of the drug per cc, but it actually contained a low dosage of several domestic steroids mixed together. In the spring of 1986 the makers of this drug were busted. There are still at least three other counterfeiters using the bolasterone name: UCLA bolasterone, available in a 10 cc vail; new bolasterone, available in a 10 cc vial, and bolasterone depot available in a 50 cc vial. All of these items are the worst kind of counterfeit steroids made. They are worthless and dangerous. Many athletes are still taking these drugs. It is obvious that any item carrying a bolasterone or GDR label should be avoided.

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.

You said it- back in the seventies i got a bottle of german Dbol 5 mg the pills were small 100 of em in a plastic blue bottle 1/2 in high by 1/2 in wide.....boy did those babies blow me up i remembering putting on close to 25 lbs on the one bottle........Ah the good ole days....RADAR

So if all the vets on here are claiming that Arnold and etc took such low doses why does everyone promote such high doses on this site. Also does anyone know what the diets and training routines of these pros were back in the day. I mean these guys looked great and if their doses were really that low there had to be some other key elements.

I don't think anyone is saying Arnold took low doses... just low compared to what a lot of pros take nowadays. It isn't like Arnold became Arnold on one d-bol tab a week, but he also wasn't taking 100 a day like Munser. With steroids there is clearly a point of deminishing returns.

I for one have never gotten any better results on d-bol when I go past 40 mg a day... deca doesn't seem to give me much past 400 mg a week... and 600-1000 mg test tops me out.

Maybe if I started using 150mg a day of tren and 2,000 mg a week of test I would see a difference... but...

...hmmmmmmmm... wait a minute... that might be interesting to try.

i think it is Don Ross next to Nubret

"Take a look at Serge Nubret on this cover (along with the guy next to him): "

And they didn't have huge bellies. Those bellies are standard procedure for todays BB's.

How could one gain muscle from 5mg D-Bol per day? Why even juice?

I don't understand how somebody could do a cycle and only take 5mg's of D-Bol per day and make great gains. This amount would probably just inhibit your natural testosterone level and how could it possibly be enough to gain muscle mass? Hell, it seems like it would be better to not juice at all and thus not have any inhibition. I agree that the bodybuilders of the 70's took much less drugs, but it's hard to believe that they could take 1 - 2 tablets per day of D-Bol and make gains.
