Just was curious what Arnold, Franco, Zane, Sergio, Lou, mike Katz, etc. used back in the day, I'm pretty sure they didn't have hgh and some other things. Also what did they eat mostly?
What gear did Arnold and his gang take back in the day?

They took a shit load of D-bol (one of the biggest AAS's in the day), Test E, Test C, Primobolan (Tren Hex), and Winstrol. And they ate what they wanted really lol. If you watch Pumping Iron, you see arnold eating a huge breakfast before the comp, and lou drinking tons of water too. The reason is that they would peak at their shows instead of peak then cut like body builders do today.

I read that Arnold would take all his dbol in one sitting in the morning, is this advised or you want it spread though out the day

Ric Drasin is the shit. Love his collaboration with Rich Piana. Good info here, always wondered what they took as well.
He says it was all pharm grade so it's was true 100% you didn't need much, but he doesn't talk straight into the cycles.
They also had HGH in the 60s, but Ric says it was too expensive so it was usually not used.
Here's a random video to his channel.

They just took pharm grade - like he was saying in one vid he can't believe women are taking like 5-20mg of Oxandrolone because it used to come in 2.5mg tabs an it would turn women into absolute monsters @ 2.5mg.
Also, yeah he seems like a cool ol' man. I bet the bros in the gym have no clue who he is.

Pretty sure it wasn't even synthesized until 1971, by Dr. Choh Hao Li and wasn't approved for sale until 1985.

Who cares what they took, anyone that's spent any appreciable amount of time around AAS and body building knows it's more about genetics than anything. You could take the exact same cycle as Ahhhnold and likely never reach his results. Sad, but true my friends.
I meant 70s as Ric and Arnold are not BB from the 60s.
Also, yes it's been used according to the AMA since the 1960s - to help children with onset Growth hormone deficiency.

not sure the dosages.. but yeah arnie would be shut down for a while.. but he kept going.... why do.u think his body looks the way it does.. cuz he had so much estrogen build up from over the years like 15-20 years ago he has a estrogen rebound n just.bloated out.n sagged.. then.again his age played a.major.part but he didnt have the knowledge nor gear we have now.. but his diet was on point n his training too.. stallones older hen him n.doesnt have the same.issues bcz stallone started later n.had access to.incredible stuff.

Ok nice, I plan on only doing test and dbol cycles, actually in two weeks or so ill be starting a sustanon and dbol 12 week cycle, should I do dbol at 50mg a day for 4 weeks or 6 weeks at 20mg? I just wanted to know which one would be better
