What Theories / Thinking has Changed since Joined Elite?

[Wrongun]

Was just looking and I started reading EF back in June 2000. I finally joined and started posting on January 01 so have been around here for over 7 years now.

Within that time I was thinking what has changed in AAS use and theory and was wondering what others had noticed?

The 5 main ones that stick out for me are

1. PCT methodology was just being discussed and adopted as best practice although some still used pyramiding

2. RU486 was the new wonder drug to hit the BB’ing community but soon proved wrong

3. Only alternative to pharm grade was IP – the only UG lab of the time

4. HGH was only used by the Pro’s and the very very rich and so not discussed

5. The only way to obtaining and use Tren was to buy Final Pellets and then obtain a ‘’kit’’ with ‘’magic solution’’ to convert in your kitchen

What’s your top 5?

Wrongun!

Doing a gram of Primo is a great cycle...

Nice post Wrongun!

Your starting nearly coincides with my extended "lay off". Having been back now for a couple of years I was amazed at the changes upon my return. Clearly the internet was resposible for a lot of that and I have to place that at number 1.

~ AI over use was rampant, probably the one thing that can single handedly ruin a cycle and your mood

~ There was less ideological freedom before where now we can all disapgree but with respect

~ Supps were over looked

~ There is much less ego now and more interest in good bro-edness

Within that time I was thinking what has changed in anabolic androgenic steroids use and theory and was wondering what others had noticed?

The 5 main ones that stick out for me are

1. PCT - post cycle therapy - methodology was just being discussed and adopted as best practice although some still used pyramiding

2. RU486 was the new wonder drug to hit the BB’ing community but soon proved wrong

3. Only alternative to pharm grade was IP – the only UG lab of the time

4. human growth hormone - somatropin - was only used by the Pro’s and the very very rich and so not discussed

5. The only way to obtaining and use trenbolone was to buy Final Pellets and then obtain a ‘’kit’’ with ‘’magic solution’’ to convert in your kitchen

What’s your top 5?

PCT is a good one. Just starting to come into play at that time. If you asked someone back in the early 90's when I started what they were going to do for PCT you would have gotten a blank stare.

Just off the top of my head.....

1.) Outside IP's bathtub, you had either Human Grade or Mexican gear to choose from.

2.) Nolvadex was it really as far as Anti-E's. There may still have been mention of Teslac.

3.) HCG was never mentioned as far as PCT.

4.) Politics and companies/persons selling products didn't compromise the integrity of boards to the extent they currently do.

5.) Fina had to be bought as pellets and converted.

6.) HGH hadn't really hit the mainstream. There wasn't as much talk of insulin use as much either really.

7.) Training concepts weren't discussed as much, or proper styles of training. Everyone pretty much had a train to failure all out balls to the wall mentality. Periodization meant taking a week off or using higher reps to failure for a few weeks.

8.) No one spoke of IGF-1.

9.) The boards were more of an underground type of thing. They weren't as popular in the media, magazines, or web sites as they are today. Just look at Dante and Swole Cat.

10.) There wasn't the option of variety for gear like there is today. You had to buy Human Grade to use Primo. You couldn't pick up a bottle of Tren Ace or Tren Enan. The same goes for other compounds such as NPP and exotic blends, or short Boldenone Esters (which seem to go as quickly as it came), or t-bol, just to name a few.

Damn, a lot has changed.

 

[jumpmaster82]

alot of new info on pct.

 

[Wrongun]

PCT was a big one and clomid was the wonder drug

As for SUpps there was nothing really apart from protein powder

How things have changed - mostly for the better IMHO in terms of knowledge and theory

As fro Mods well Mustang was just a posting machine and The Ranger & Huck were always lurking with wisdom. E2 had a site where everyone learned to inject

Here is a question for you all:

When the UG labs arrived and we have the ''blends'' introduced such as Tri Tren for example - well is it easier to pack muscle with them or are they just a marketing gimmick?

IMHO too many overlook diet and rely on weird and wonderful high dosage meds to make up for it - or am i old and bitter and twisted?

No more than the rest of us are old, bitter and twisted.

LOL knew i could rely on you my friend to be bitter & twisted LOL

Have to admit only 2 years ago no one was using human growth hormone - somatropin - or IGF so why are these so integral today?

Are we lazy now or has technology / knowledge meant we can grow bigger using these meds?

Wrongun!
