Arnold said he only used 2 compounds

ad

So it says Arnold only used 100mg of test weekly and 15mg of dbol to win 7 Mr Olympia titles anyone wanna call bs or was he just that much better than everyone else?

Not accurate he popped dbol like pez

Ahhh I doubt that big time. Now alot of average gym guys used doctor recommended dosages but there were some guys that pushed the limit on dosages and unfortunately most of those same dudes are dead or have health issues. That's the price that came with abuse. Arnold claims a genetic heart condition but he's had a few heart operations. If the steroid abuse didn't cause his heart condition it sure didn't help him, in fact probably made it worse.

Pretty sure he was a huge fan of the B-12 injections too, I remember reading that somewhere. Dbol and B-12.

DeeMan's picture

Yeah that wouldn't surprise me at all. With his silly personality I could see him totally abusing steroids.

Drexyl's picture

He really is a bit of a goofball isn’t he?

DeeMan's picture

Straight silly mode! He's lucky that big Lou Ferrigno didn't lay him out lol

Lou ferrigno was one of my favorites. Was much bigger than Arnold too. If I remembered how to post the I would post it

Bro, if it came to fists during that breakfast scene in Pumping Iron, my money is on Lou all day. Big ol’ New York wop lol. There’s been some rip offs over the years. Lou was ripped off a little, but there’s bigger ones that got shafted, Oliva, Mentzer, Platz, Strydom, the list goes on. But Sergio deserved the Sandow more than once.

Yessir! My all time favorite "The Myth".
Man I remember Arnold had the judges take them into a room with a dark background and walls. Somehow I guess he thought it would make Sergio look smaller. Well Arnold didn't have to do that cause the fix was already in.

Drexyl's picture

Sergio had some arms on him didn’t he? They were the size of some guys legs

Its pretty easy to tell he's talking shit - because if he did THAT well on just 100mg Test per week then why didn't he try 500mg for example?! 100mg would be pointless as its basically the same as what a natty produces minus the ester weight. He and others from that period were well known for saying they took handfuls of Dbol at a time as they didn't realise it was toxic to the liver at that point. It was only as the years went on that they started to realise.

Exactly, I heard Tom Platts saying he only took 100mg of Deca P/W and 20 mg winistrol P/D. Even though previously he stated using no steroids during his career you just can't believe these guys
At least Dorian was more honest with his Dbol used on almost all off seasons. He is still currently taking 20mg of test per day and still looks great and healthy. Jay cutler claims to be on 250mg per week all year around.

Zee's picture

They're obviously not honest, but I see the other side of the coin too if you have sponsors paying nicely to do what you enjoy doing and have a comfortable living.its just simple greed I think these guys may open up in the future once they retire and loose sponsors.

Simeon Panda is one of the biggest bull shitters ever, and he's done fuckin well out of it too! I remember watching a video of him training with Larry in the UK and Larry was continually ripping him for claiming no gear. Panda couldn't touch him for strength but when they both took their shirts off he looked waayyyy better than a roided up Larry and more shredded. It was a joke!!

Yeah man folks lie for whatever reason. However I won't hate on on another man that uses smaller doses than I do. Lol I'm with ya in that they need to just tell the truth.

That cadaver GH caused a disease

DeeMan's picture

Yeah man I forgot which disease it caused but it's true. Maybe Jacobs disease or something like that

Hunkstrum's picture

It's Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is spongeform encephalopathy. Like Mad Cow disease but without the cow (aka Bovine Spongeform Encephalopathy). Basically your brain turns into Swiss cheese and then you die.

DeeMan's picture

Yes that's it. I remember what it did to the brain just forgot the name.Thanks. I wouldn't want that disease

Nattyboomba's picture

If you listen to any of his peers that came up with him and in the group of BBs after him (Menzer, Platz, Zane, Farigno), many of them speak of how full of shit he was. It’s well known that he’d do anything he could to fuck with the others and give himself an advantage. When he popped back into the scene after taking years off and didn’t look his best, he somehow still beat people in peak condition. He is a legend, but a bit of a weasel. Didn’t he also say he has 19.5”-20” biceps?

Rosschestzip's picture

He also said he would just say completely made up and untrue shit in interviews to fuck with people because theyd ask so many stupid questions over and over. people think there's something the pros do that's like magic and if you just copy everything besides the work ethic you'll grow. Guys will copy every single thing Arnold or other guys did besides work hard. theyll ask what kind of socks he wore and what side of the bed he slept on and what brand protein to use and all types of useless shit.

Yeah no he said he ate dbol for breakfast lunch and dinner. Granted genetics but he was on a lot of stuff.

Hunkstrum's picture

Sergio Oliva died of kidney failure, no? He must have only been taking 10mgs of dbol instead of the recommended 15mgs.
And everyone knows that Chris Bumstead would never take more than 20mgs.

DeeMan's picture

"The Myth" Sergio Olivia abused steroids just like Arnold did and he paid the ultimate price for that!

I have a bridge for sale if you are interested.
Also forgot to mention I only use creatine and BCAA's.

But you cheated on yours though. You cheated on my ole lady too!

There is a lot of speculation of what a lot of these guys ran. Arnold and alike put in a lot of work. They aren't the monsters of today but they had that classic look. Still nothing to look past. It's been speculated he would run Test, Primo, Deca, DBol...at what rate? Nobody had protocols. Interview of him saying he would take Dbol 3 times a day.but how much? We'll never know to be honest. A lot probably under report what they took to look more like genetic phenoms. Those were the early days when gear was legal. Most of which were experiments on what to run. Go on extremely long cycle of 20+ weeks.

blemons1232's picture

That's the key issue... it was legal up until 1990. It's not like they've come out with different compounds. These are decades old yet the looks of 70's to 90's BB is so much different. Are there guys getting good advice from proper Dr?

Makwa's picture

The difference between todays pros and those of yesteryear is the copious amonts of a taboo substance they now abuse. They are all pinning juice until it was flowing out their ears

DeeMan's picture

Yep all we can go by is what those ole school cats have said. I'm pretty much getting the same story by all of those guys though. I just don't think they used baby dosages but I do think that alot of those guys used dosages that are laughable by today's standards. Did some lie? Of course, but I don't think most lied. Most of those guys out worked today's bodybuilders for sure.
