Pro Cycles

[flexkish]

Hey i have read that amatuers take more gear than the pros, is that true? and also what are the pro cycles like?

 

[flexkish]

nobody knows?

 

[DepressiveJuice]

nobody knows for sure

 

[NJextreme]

Call up Culter and ask him himself...

 

[lartinos]

pro's only take HMB, creatine, and andro. Why else would that be the only stuff they promote.

 

[crmdogg]

i thought to be a pro you had to be all-natural?

I wish I knew who to believe on this matter. You hear a lot of people on the boards saying I know a guy that knows a pro and he's doing 5 grams of test/week. I am afraid some people make up rediculous cycles to rationalize why they aren't a pro. I'm sure there are some professionals that take huge cycles and others that are more conservative. Here is another example of what I am talking about. I have a friend who is personal friends with Dave Palumbo and he was telling me that all of the rumors about top national competitors taking 2-3 grams/week are not true for the most part but they do stay on for a long time. I'm not going to lie though. I enjoy hearing of these guys that come on the boards and talk about how much there buddy who is a professional bodybuilder uses. - cbeaks

depends on the pro.

 

[horsePOWER]

well ronnie is a cop so we know he only sticks to protein shakes and "good ole chicken"
and arnold is going to run for office in cali, so we know a well respected politician would have never done anything illeagal.

yeah im a jackass, but seriously i also like reading about pro's cycles, real or not.

Somebody posted a while back that when he asked a pro what the optimal dose of steroids to use that the pro replied something like add 500mg/week to your cycle until you start pissing blood and then back it off a little. - cbeaks

Although no one really knows for sure... here is one thought I had....

I agree with dial tone -- some pros take tonnes cause they need, some are just more genitically gifted.

But one thing to add....pros that say the don't take much, may actually take tonnes, they just don't want anyone else sneaking there way into the top 3.... just a though.

....and Cell-Tech!!!!

 

[OXANDRIN]

ever wonder how those guys have so much hair on their heads?

 

[sausage]

i dont think ronnie is a cop anymore i heard something about that.

 

[flexkish]

yea he is no longer a cop, he retired after his second O win, im pretty sure. But i know for a fact that he is no longer a cop.

I think it varies with the pro, to an extent. None of the top guys are using only a couple drugs at low doses, that's delusional.
While a pro giving advice to the average Joe may in no way be threatened by him, he may be embarrassed to admit he making a mexican pharmacist rich by injecting enough juice a day to raise a herd of cattle. Better to claim you're using little with great genetics.
The guys that don't need high doses likely still take a vast array of steriods, ecspecially for contest prep. Combined with the thyroid drugs, insulin, gh and diaretics these guys are hardcore drug users.
It's my belief that the worst drugs in bodybuiding are not the steriods, even at higher doses. It's all the other shit that fucks you up for life.

Palumbo in his column suggests using 1g of test w/400-600mg of eq/week for 16 weeks to someone whishing to add 30lbs, hence you can draw your own conclusions

Ronnie

Well I called Ronnie to ask him so I could reply to this post, but he hasn't called back yet. Maybe I should try him at the station.

Serge, yeah I know that Palumbo suggests cycles like that but that is far less than what you hear people saying that most pros and top level amateurs use. - cbeaks

 

[gilly6993]

heres an ironic thought...pro bodybuilding is called fitness...can it be any further from being healthy...heres another thought i have...with all the top quality products and advice at there fingertips...how could a pro possibly have gyno??? iv seen quite a few

....there is just so much anti e's can do with massive dosages

you have to keep in mind that he suggests though type of cycles to newbies-intermediate level trainies

If that is true then you have a good point. I thought he also suggested the same type of cycles regardless of how big or experienced you are. He is suppose to know his shit. I might try to get him to set up my contest cycle for next year since he offers that service. - cbeaks
