Have to call BS on an article in Muscular Development

[cranny]

First, I have to say it's the best magazine out there considering what you have to choose from. But there was an article this month saying the most popular stack bodybuilders use was deca and dianabol. They said it was b/c it was good for minimizing water retention and hairloss. Damn, I could've swore dianabol alone was one of the worst for water bloat and the hair line.

MD is my favorite mag too, but I have found quite a few articles that are BS in the years ive been reading it....

Probably some old school writer. That was the stack of choice in the day.

MD is the best because it is entertaining. I really don't think any of them are worth a dime as far as real information goes.

Deca and dbol is an old school stack - very popular back in the day

MD is the shit. I think we'll all agree that there isn't a better publication out there. Having that said, even the best provide false info or misleading info. Deca and d-bol was the shit back in the day when BBer's didn't know as much as we do now

Don't get advice from those mags. It's 90% crap.

i agree that cycle is oldschool, AND that MD is a magazine full of bullshit promises and info....
If you are trying to avoid test, if that is their reason, i had AWESOME results on a NPP, winstrol stack.. I didnt use test either.. It was mucho fun..

I think I read in Arnold's bodybuilding encyclopedia that "his" bread and butter stack was deca and d-bol

I used to buy all the mags when I was younger. There is only so much you can write about training and diet without rewriting other ideas. Training hasn't changed much in the last 20 years, except for new supps. It is so annoying to read about awesome new training. There are limited exercises that you can do for each bodypart. Every mag has a great new workout, but has the same lift, set and rep range that eveyone uses. There is little info that I have learned that I use on an everyday basis. I buy mags for motivation once in a while and to see what new amazing muscle building supps are out there.

I like that magazine a lot. As for the Deca/dbol stack... who knows. I guess it is where you are from and who you hang with. That stack has been around for ever though.
MD is the only magazine I subscribe to. FLEX is not far from going under so would not subscribe to it.

Mr. X and Quadsweep are right that was the cycle to do during the 70's and 80's, trust me I am 37 LOL
