To put my info on the ORIGINAL topic of this thread, I've tried some of the newer things... and I've found that FOR ME, test is what works.
I get more consistent gains, I stay leaner, feel better and stronger, and I don't have a hard time keeping what I gain. I'm 26 years old, and though I'm not where I want to be... I'll keep running test, throwing in d-bol and anadrol here and there... and I'll strive to look like that one Schwarvenyeater guy.
Now as far as ol' what's-his-name... Arnold Brownshwagger or whatever that "old timer's" name was... maybe I'm stupid... but I think he has the greatest physique of all time. So his legs didn't look like he was walking around on two skinned buffalo or anything... but I think legs THAT big suck anyway. (my opinion)
I know he wasn't great... it's not like he put bodybuilding on the map or anything.
When I turn 50, I'd like to at least SOMEWHAT look like what I did when I was 27. I don't wanna lose 200 lbs when either I shit my liver out, or my body just can't handle it so I have to come off all the compounds, and lose everything I've gained.
To each their own, I suppose.
