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

[TheseGains]

so basically the old school bodybuilding physiques really inspire me, physiques like Bob Paris, Frank Zane, and some physiques out there now like Jaco De Bruyn...

basically what im asking is to gain a physique like that what kind of cycles are these guys on? or what steroids are best to achieve a physique like that?

or is it something i have to work with to figure out what works for my body specifically?

Genetics determine their physique FAR more than drugs do. Test/dbol/deca/winstrol were the ones I remember floating around in the late 80's/early 90's. If it were just a matter of diet/training/drugs, pretty much anyone could be a pro. I think the big difference between the guys of that age and the monsters of today is the use of HGH/slin/synthol as they continue to get bigger and bigger instead of having the trademark physiques of that age.

I do think we react differently though to certain compounds and I do think you need to experiment a little to find what works best for you though.

Well, not trying to be a dick, but everyone's gonna say genetics, it's a mix of genetics, diet, training, gear is just a tool to help you, yes gear makes a difference but it's diet and training my friend, I love the old school bodybuilding, I watch pumping iron like twice a week, if you bodybuild long enough, like 10+ years you'll start seeing what you want

 

[TheseGains]

im certain i have the genetics, in terms of shape. My only problem i would say is that i gain and lose very easily, hopefully i react to gear good..

I can tell you what I used in the mid to late 80's for powerlifting. Test dbol anadrol halo finajet parabolan and a little deca. Most guys that were Bodybuilding in the gym I went to were all using Deca, dbols, anadrols winny v and Test. Def. a lot smaller dosages compared to today.I would have to say 90% of the guys in the gym were using. I would watch the juice doctor come in every Saturday with a full duffle bag and leave empty, shit came right from the pharmacy also.The good ole days Bath Beach Bodybuilding ave u Bklyn NY Ftw.

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...

 

[2GAINS]

The whole they were using less then people do today thing is not fully correct in my opinion. From what Ive heard drug prices then were more expensive then now...some have seen a huge difference in lower prices. Are the drugs we have now same quality as what they had back then? Probably not. Im not saying this for test or deca or anything like that...mostly referring to orals

I cant speak for the pros my friend most guys would pyramid with no pct or some would just cruise on test or deca. Dosages from what I saw being used and what I used were def a lot less. Everything came from the pharmacy or the vet no ugl's. Not saying there aren't any good ugl's because there are.Nothing was hit or miss everything was pretty much legit. You know what was funny we really didn't have any fancy supplements either. I'm sorry in my opinion pros and gym rats looked a lot better on a lot less.

I agree with you bro 100%

 

[El paja]

Back in the days was more diet those guys eat like crazy, the aas was more expensive than now and very hard to find it, but most of those guys got a very good genetic

Old school bodybuilders looked waaaay cooler than they do today. There we're more unique physiques, all viable for winning. I mean you had bodies like Frank Zane, Mike Mentzer, Franco Colombu and even Arnold. All their bodies were way different and unique but they all had the potential to win Olympia. Now it's all about huge mass monsters. I still find them cool, but nothing like the legendary physiques of the golden age of bodybuilding.

your 100% correct, who do you think had the best physique, overall....i would have to say Bob Paris,

 

[Black Beard]

Bob Paris/Frank Zane looked fucking awesome. Aesthetic and powerful.

 

[Teutonic]

HW nailed it.

No slin, hgh synthrol. Or at least not to the extent we see now.

I ll say it. Modern day bbdblders look like He Man dolls. Nothing human about it. I admire the work they put it for sure , but would never ever want to be that big.

Zane, Mentzer, Arnold . Greek gods .

Todays guys are gross. All they can do is lift. They get winded going up stairs, can t fit in cars and are hampered from doing OTHER things. Again if only being fkn huge is what matters..go for it.

Zane looks like he could still surf, hike, fight LIVE.. I ve always depended on my bodies ability to MOVE fluidly with power...pay s the bills. But then I enjoy biking, frisbee, scuba, sailing, jet skiing, competitve shooting tactically which recguires moving a lot and still acguiring. B eing German I love a nice long walk.( did 5 miles on the seawall today instead of training because I COULD).

It s what you want. How big is enough for the individual....is subject to the that persons desires. I v lived the life....

Pro bbdng is fkn UNHEALTHY.

 

[Black Beard]

Yeah, not my thing but i appreciate the work, dedication, and science, that goes into building a monster. The golden age of bodybuilding was an art.

 

[skinnypete]

Mentzer was huge.

 

[jSalud]

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.

Bro if you look up Arnolds stats in his prime he was 205 pounds on stage these guys are around 270 pounds on stage. These dudes today take 100x the doses of bodybuilders in the past. I personally admire the shit out of the past because it was all about symmetry and v taper build. Today imho it's about who's the biggest fuck on the stage. No disrespect meant because these guys devote their lives to this, in a literal sense as well because of the health issues these guys see. I just prefer the past

 

[jack3d4life]

I talk to Jay Cutler probably once a week dude and the guy can't even tie his own shoes man.
