I always wonder if these "pro cycles" are true or not. It seems they pros will way under sell their actual doses...but who really knows. It is believed that the golden era guys used far smaller doses than guys of today. I wonder why that is? Better gear? Evolution in human biological response to steroid use?
Whether or not even golden age bodybuilders 'under sold' the amounts they took they still took less than mediocre bodybuilders of today.
As to better gear... no way. Arnold et al went to a doctor for their gear. Too many pros of that time said the same thing (heck they all used the same doc when they trained together at Golds).
And evolution... in 50-60 years?? Dude we're practically still just standing outside of the cave. A million years isn't that much never mind 50-60.
People like to think that more gear equates to a pro body. It just doesn't. But they want it to. They really do. There are guys on their 2nd cycle you are using (like posted this week on evo) 2x the most I've ever used and I'm 50lbs heavier. And in the strongman arena, which I've coached, put on comps etc etc in I'm not even average sized. And I've written of my up close and personal experience of the amounts a LOT of top guys I knew/know personally used. Two examples:
1) (as before) a multi-times WSM competitor who got to compete at his first WSM (DNP) natural. He started using PED's for the 2nd onwards. His first cyckle was under 800mg a week.
2) The flip side of this was one of my fellow grip competitors who will probably need to be on TRT for life. Started using in his 'teens and recently, as a world class powerlifter (as he is now) with around a 2000lbs total has used 5g a week (5000mg). Even he admits he over done it.
Last year the first fella did a powerlifting comp and beat the 2nd fella on his squat. It was the 2nd time he's competed in a powerlifting event.
