What was the protocol before PCT came about?

Reading that Arnie thread got me wondering.
How did the Zane, Arnie, Ferrigno etc generation cope without pct?
Nowadays it seems the common opinion that without a pct you'll not only lose your gains but possibly stay fucked up eternally if you don't run a pct. Especially with stuff that shuts you down hard.
But those guys were running a lot of the same stuff with no pct at all and still wound up massive. What was the story there?

probably never came off.. and when they did, tapered and prayed they came back lol
Nothing. That's why so many of those guys suffered from a lot of health problems later in life. Some would taper off. Others may bridge from one cycle to the next. But really they did nothing back in the day.
Bridging
No one at that level pct's
no one 5 levels below that pct's either.. which arnie thread? on eroids?
Dose titration in a pyramid style
500>>>>> 1000>>>>>500>>>> 250
Just an example^
That's one of the things that kind of threw me, I read about pyramiding but the ones I read still ended at 250ish a week. Which from what I read keeps you just as shut down as 500 or 1000. I'd have expected them to pyramid down to nothing (bro logic).
WithdrawlI remember tapering off was what a lot of guys I knew did. The idea was that slowly weening yourself off gear would make you recover quicker. It was funny because I would see a lot of guys taper up and then taper down.
AnonI don't think those guys ever came off cycle.... just stayed on for years, or at least did some type of TRT routine for a couple weeks before getting back on
