How in the hell did old school bb'ers......

[Ironhorse_m87]

maybee it depends on how well you respond to the stuff, i respond very well even on a deca/winstrol cycle at winny 50mg every other day and 200-400mg deca a week.

The lower doses also prevented them from getting so bloated like many juicers do today when pushing a gram a week of test. I also believe a lower dosage, while gaining less weight, allows for more gains to be kept post cycle. I'd rather gain 12lbs and keep it than gain 25lbs and lose more than half. I like quality over quantity.

I think one of the reasons why dosages were lower back then is that bb'ers didn't solely rely on gear like so many do now. Nowaday's everyone wants to get huge but they don't have the balls to work hard before they start gear. They haven't built a solid base and then they expect to keep all the gains they've made on a cycle.

Exactly what I was going to say.

400-500mg/week I can believe with maybe some dbol. 200mg/week of deca...I call bullshit on that one. That being said I have no doubt that they used a fraction of what guys use today.

Anyone that thinks those old school bb'ers were making those gains on 200 mgs...should call me I have things to sell you.

It worked because quadruple doses don't quadruple the effects...

thats is exactly right! doubling your dose does not double your gains. I remember the last time this was talked about...

arnold and zane had good work ethic and good genetics, and we will truely never know how much juice they did-josh

Sofa George: I respect the fact that you've been in this game longer than 95%of the people on this board....but don't even try to tell me that Arnold used 200mg/week deca and 15mgdbol.

I also agree with Dial Tone in the regard that there seems to be a law of diminishing returns involved. 2grams of test won't necissarily give you twice the gains as 1 gram test.

Why do people have such a hard time belieing you can gain on low doses? My first cycle was

30 mg dbol
300 test
300 eq

I started at 178 ended at 191. I had to stop at 6 wks due to an illness.
