1980 Olympia - What did they run?
ad
It was the year big Arnie made his comeback!
Probably one of the most controversial Mr Olympia's! I just watched "The Comeback"
Arnold was off his normal early 70's mass, but didn't look that bad!
"The Comeback Movie link"

Do you guys think he should have won?
I wonder what his cycle was in 1980 contest prep!
Can anyone guess what they think he & the competition were running gear wise?

RustyhookerMaybe i can search out duchains old posts and post em for learning. Figure out arnold at his best was 245 on stage and nowhere as shredded as now. But he got huge! Every interview he was eating something.
And ya, dbol at 5mg pwo was the deal. The monsters hit 15mg split 3x a day. And there was no over training.
I can't believe Dan died at 48! Man.. Thats young.
I read in one of those "Unotherized Bio's" Arnold still juiced now & then even after he retired competing! Makes sence he actually looked better in "Conan the Destroyer" than Conan the Barbarian! Ric Drasin on youtube also said Arnold & Franco brought back Primobolin redi ject's & Primo orals from Germany back then. Ric Drasin said those made him huge! Primo must have been better then!
Franco was a Beast of a lifter for his time and the limited gear that was available ....
RustyhookerGear wasnt really limited back then. I used to buy right from a vet. And human grade was everywhere. And both werent expensive til the ban hit. Difference from whst i saw was dosages. Small complex stack with no real sides and full tilt in gym and foods.
And yet a, franco was massive! Look up danny padilla too. Mighty midget!
The "Giant Killer" you'll love this podcast Rusty

they used Cadaver HGH ....and did not use Insulin
Molinin302I like this, honestly when I look at the old school pics, it makes me feel good. It's more attainable if that makes sense. I've always been a fan of Zane, I'm a bit taller, my arms are bigger, etc.. I don't look like that lol! It's funny though as us that are in our 40's with what we once thought was unattainable, can now find personal happiness with current knowledge and availability. Thanks for this post bro, it's a feel good one.
Frank Zanes triceps were freaky big.
He also stayed pretty lean year round.
Your arms aren’t bigger than Zanes.
Molinin302C'mon man, I can dream. That's like telling little kids the truth about santa lol
Wait a minute!
What about santa?
Wasn’t Arnie known for deca/dbol for offseason and primo and Winnie for prep?
I’ll tell you one thing. They didn’t run anywhere near what they run now and they looked way better back then.
Man if you can’t get it done with deca dbol off-season and primo winny prep, then you shouldn’t be trying. That’s more than enough.
Agreed.. also probably a big reason Arnie is still kicking it in his 70's... Genetics and sensible doses
Yeah...He had nice skin too! No zit filled backs during that time or bubble guts. They def used low doses. I never saw a picture of Arnie or Zane w/ a pimple on their backs or shoulders!
I know the main compounds they used back then were Winny, Dbol & Deca, would have thought Test was becoming more accessible by that time also.
Interesting! I wonder if they used Dbol pre- contest. I saw a youtube video where Zane said he used a little bit of Parabolan at the end of his career. Parabolan was released in 1980! I wonder if Arnie used it in his prep.
Yeh quite possibly. I forgot trenbolone was being used just around that time, Arnie probably did as that year he looked a lot leaner and different didn't he. Maybe fat burners & thyroid meds were coming in also.
