Old school bodybuilding, what kind of steroids were they on?

I love mentzer's physique. He looked like a god. They all did. I don't think arnold should have won the '80 olympia. He was soft, with chicken legs. His charisma and connections pulled through for him.

i hear this a lot, how is it that they were taking dosages that were much lower as compared to today? did they stay on? because being a genetic freak is one thing but having that many genetics freaks at one time is near impossible...

Also consider that they didn't train like pussies. Too many people around today crying about how they're afraid of overtraining while on 3g of gear. Wtf? You're not gonna overtrain on 3g. By pretty much all accounts of guys around back then, the golden era guys would train up to 4hrs/day on less than 1g injectables & a handful of dbol every week.

Dunno how long they stayed on for though, it's another consideration along with the potency of gear that was available.

Most of the drugs used back then were all pharm grade and a hell of a lot more potent than what most people have access to today.

?? Sorry but we have access to a lot more today and potency is there as well unless you don't have good access. I love how people think pharm grade = Godly. I've switched my pharm grade TRT test out for home brew.

Oh god, we've moved onto synthol?

True there is more access to garbage, under dosed, dirty gear. Maybe your one of the lucky few that has a good ugl. Mid 80's everything came from the pharmacy and vet nothing was hit or miss nor was it godly. Guys in the gym trained harder 6 days a wk had half of the supps out today and diets weren't the best. But the guys I trained with in the mid to late 80's looked a hell of a lot better then the guys today in the gym i'm at. We had fun training that's what it is all about.Enjoy training don't turn it into a boring science project.

We can agree to disagree. However I will agree that I like the looks way better with the older bodybuilders than the current monsters. It's the current GH, slin, and Synthol era we live in. Hell one of my favs was frank zane. No one can vacuum pose like he did either.
