I was watching Pumping Iron this morning and a thought crossed my mind. "None of these guys have gyno or anything close to it."

With that said, I would like to pose a few questions to anyone that may have an idea.


1. What kind of steroids were they running. (From what I know, test and dbol were big.)

2. What doses were they running them at.

3. What kind of anti-estrogens were they running? (They had to be using some kind of anti-estrogen or estrogen blocker. Test and dbol were popular back then and both drugs have a high tendency to convert into estrogen. Yet none of them had gyno..)


These guys really impress me. They didn't use drugs such as GH, IGF, Slin and so on. They didn't have very good supplements, no creatine and the like. These guys were "meat and potatoes" type guys.

iv heard off extracting gh from dead people an large animales

^I did too, i though he used GH (quite a bit) from cadavres for body competition but i can prove it in any way. some guys got a form of mad cow's disease b/c of it.

i am convinced that primo is the reason non of these guys had gyno. that and lower doses.

low dosages are definitely the reason these guys didn't get half the sides that we do today.... At least one of the reasons anyway...

And whats with you and the primo obsession lately... lol But you are right that they used some milder drugs like primo which doesn't carry sides really.... Which may have played a part in the reason they didn't get the sides we do...

You have to remember that none of them achieved the freaky size guys do today either tho because it is our advances in science that have allowed this... Not that I think freaky size is a better physique because I don't.... I would rather look like arnold then ronnie any day but many people would disagree with me and today it seems a lot of people like looking like an army tank rather then a sculpture....

imo it was just better gear plain and simple - have to take 3 x as much today to get the same results - so with that u get more sides

disagree 100%.

in many cases, the gear especially the euro gear is better quality today. the whole taking 3x's as much is just the more is better attitude. those guys back in the 70's just took gear to help "boost" their training. today guys want it to replace there training.

agree if its euro gear !!!!! ug gear has far outpaced euro ! quality of ug gear is hit or miss , underdosed or just plain shit

i agree 100 percent on the training - no one trains anymore -- i stand puking over a bucket the other day and people looked at me like i was fucking crazy !!

been training one way since i picked up a weight - i will be 39 in 18 days . i still pound myself into the floor day in day out

agreed. i broke a bone in the middle of my fucking hand deadlifting (a few weeks ago) while simutaneously bursting a blood vessel in my nose - im fucking bleeding all over the squat rack and floor.

I know FINJET was pretty popular, read an artical where Pope and Katz reported bodybuilders having psychotic episodes using high doses of this.
