Zane asking Arnold for advices?

“What do you think I should do?” I asked the Oak. “You should go to Australia and defend your title” he told me. “You are training hard, are you going to compete?” I asked. “No, I’ll be there doing the TV commentary for CBS” he told me.

That's the worst analogy I have ever heard, while Lee Haney was winning the Mr.O every year he hardly was featured on the cover of Weider's magazines while Arnold retired in 1980 yet was on both Flex and M&F covers few times a year.


WooSSHHHHHHHHHHHH




WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


It is what I think is true.  Haney is no Coleman or Yates let alone Arnold.  This is a subjective pageant, nothing more.

Purely money driven. Arnold on the cover sold millions which is why every magazine in the business had him on there.

Shawn Ray never won an Olympia , yet he was featured in more Weider publications than *8 X Mr.Olympia Lee Haney ....

Haney was charismatic, articulated had an ESPN show yet Weider treated him like a 3er tier Bodybuilder .

Taking steroids at that young age probably increases hyperplasia which will benefit that bodybuilder the rest of his life. Look at guys like Arnold, Lee Priest, Shawn Ray, Flex Wheeler, etc. Would those guys have ever been that developed had they waited until twenty something to start using?

No.  Only an unnatural natural could look like Zane.

Just 100mg of Primo per week and 15g of DBol per day starring 8 Weeks out.  According to a cryptic poem he wrote.

Obviously he took more than that.

I couldn't began to guess what he took. By 17 he was 160 at around 10% bf. 8 years later and 25lbs of stage weight and maturity minus water so around 5 lbs. So and 185 at 4%. Which means he'd be around 202 at  10%bf. He's was 5'9 with an ectomorph build.

That said, he obviously didn't take much. Based on everything I know about him, he is very methodical and conservative. 

Since he did mention Dbol and primo. My best guess would be he never exceeded 25 mg of DBol per day 200 mg of primo. That's at most. I think he wasn't lying in that poem. Again, total guess.

These guys weren't drug monkeys like modern guys
