Problem with us on here using twice as much gear as the guys in the 1960s and early 1970s and not looking like them is simply a matter of genetics first and foremost. Most people on here can't match Larry Scott's development he achieved in 1965 with 10-20mgs of dianabol day.
Most people on here can't rival Steve Reeves' physique he had in the late 1940s, genetics.
What did recreational bodybuilders of the 60s and 70s look like, not elite level professional athletes of this period in time, not a fair comparison.
Compare your basketball, hockey, and baseball skills to the likes of Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky,Ty Cobb. Do you stand a chance?
