Why would I quote from the book? Because he was Mr. Olympia! If you're not aware of what that means, it means that he had the best physique on the planet. Who better to listen to, you know?
Ok, here's something that's been bugging me. Do you know the dosages or even which drugs the pros are using? How do you know they are using huge doses of everything? That assumption really pisses me off. I won't deny that they most probably do more than most folks, but to say that they're using shitloads doesn't seem right. The reason I say this is that at one point person A will claim that they're that huge because of all the drugs that they are using. In the next sentence Person A will claim that it's all their genetics that makes them able to be such freaks. Both statements are partially true. Granted, they wouldn't have the physiques they do without the drugs and genetics. However, isn't it quite possible that since they have superior genetics that they don't need that much drugs? Sure, maybe for a "normal" guy it would take 12 kits of GH and 5 grams of test with 300mgs of Anadrol a week to get anywhere near that size, but since the pros have superior growth genetics, then shouldn't they grow just fine without nearly the amount of drugs a normal fellow would need? Just my theory here. And, personally, I think it makes a lot of sense. I'm using myself as a guinea pig here. I have yet to juice, but my arms are 19". Ideally, I will have my stuff in a couple of weeks. Now, a first cycle typically yields about 20-30lbs of mass. I've read that approximately 10lbs of bodyweight translates into a 1" growth on your arms, give or take a little. Now, in theory here, after my first cycle I will be damn near Arnold sized. I'll let you know what really happens, but, if things work the way I hypothesize/hope then it's a myth that the pros need huge amounts of drugs. It would be because they/I grow very well. Therefore, taking Dorian's advice is just fine because he really may not have been hepped up on that much shit.
