Title: old timer diets
Post by: Figo on October 13, 2011, 04:30:39 AM
guys like nubret, zane, paddila, mentzer,  corney, etc didnt eat more than 3 meals a day, yet got into pretty respectable condition, not 4%, but low bf, with a high level of muscularity

also some of the foods consumed pre contest were not "acceptable" in todays diets; breads, dairy. etc

3 meals a day is not normal for anyone who takes a part in any physical activity. Most "athletic" people I know eat from 5 to even 8 meals a day. They don't even work out, they just eat a lot.

What you guys forget is that we are talking about the very beginning of Bodybuilding.
A lot had to be tested and tried, were today you log into the WWW and you find all the information presented to you, your problem is to pick the right one for you.

So of course Arnolds diet was all trial and error at times, but the information that we have now is largly based on the trials and errors of bodybuilders before us.

In my opinion they used "a calorie is a calorie" diet...meaning they ate whatever, just in small quantities.

The only difference is that they ate as much protein as they could from basic sources...eggs, beef, fish etc.

remember that they did not "weight" their food back then neither had "calorieking.com" to keep track of their cals. They measured portions by the eye.

I spent time with Francis Benefatto when he stayed here in Durban and asked him about his diet (he was prepping for a guest posing). he ate between 2 and 3 meals a day when dieting. Sometimes his first meal was at midday or later. He also ate most of his carbs in the evening. Said he woke up in the middle of the night to carb up sometimes as he trained 1st thing on an empty stomach, he drank 3 litres of water while he weight trained

IMO When dieting two most important things are:

1) Being Calorie deficient (Calories in calories out)
2) Getting you macros right (i.e. 250g protein,300g carbs ,50g fat)

Use whatever foods you like to make up your chosen macro ratio (Within reason, best to use foods with the highest macro nutrient density).
The number of meals your food is broken down into whether it be 3,4,5,6,7 0r 8 makes little difference in the big picture. (4-5 fits in well with most peoples schedules)

Obsessing about meal timing is over rated (eating religiously every 2 or 3 hours by the clock

I bet they just ate when they were hungry 4-5 times a day, trying to reach good amount of protein and took it all simple
eat more when you need to grow, eat less when you need to cut and always train heavy.

Ask Coach how they ate - he followed the same thinking in his comp days - pretty sure was high protein low carb low to moderate fats.

Ric Drasin talked about the diet they used back in the 70s.

Hamburger patties....cottage cheese....omlettes....tu na salad....chicken....not a ton of carbs.

They also used Rheo Blair's protein powder......and on Sunday they would go completely off the diet and eat whatever they desired..... then right back on the diet the next day.


All in all....very basic.....they kept things simple.....these days I think people eat 6-8 meals a day and it is over the top.....just my .02 though.

Just look through those old weightlifting mags. For every name bodybuilder that ate 6 meals there were way more that ate 2-4(usually if they ate 4, one of the meals was a snack). One of the more popular diet methods was just tuna and water for as many weeks as you could stand it :'( :-\.

The real push toward multiple meals came with the growth of supplement companies. Especially Met-Rx and EAS style packets. They knew that eating that many times is a pain, so they pushed the 5-8 meals a day plan, and then acted like they were doing you a favor by offering you their pre packaged shakes for $2-3 each.

Just fix the protein at a decent amount, and eat enough calories. How you break up those meals means very, very little in the grand scheme of things.

THERE IS NO NEED FOR DIET TO GET TO 70S CONDITION ,, 2 WEEK CLEAN DIET AT THE END THATS ABOUT IT

TRENBOLONA ACE! I CANT KEEP SAYING THIS TRENBOLONA ACE IS WHAT BRING THE CONDITION OF A BODYBUILDER

fellas thikn that the body say ohhhhhhhhh no now the syrnge has a whole 3 ml of trenbolona ace in it i cant take it im going to go into shock,, BA FUCKIN LONIE,, the body accept it and cut itself during sleep with or with out your dry chiken ,, you can sit drink pineapple juice all day long with banans like a damn monkey sugar too icrecream and even pizza,, as long as you have in just enough calories and protien ...you will advance as bodybuilder and you will look AMAZING!

the higher trenbolona ace go ...the better you will look ,, diminishing returns is at the 2000mg a week  and its not diminishing it is just a level where the human body can not work with its animnalistic level that a cow will work with mayeb but not human ,, 200mg of trenbolona every day will and does create amazing physiqes,,again like with everything now day ....hgh wil have to be there to volumize it to the level you are used to now days...otherwize you will be stuck with frankie zane in the ....mid 70s

At what point does body plateau or get used to certain tren dose where higher dose is needed? For instance if on 100mg day for 2 or 3 month can u up to 150 per day for next 3 month ? Also can u stay on tren all year long with just 1 or 2 month break here and there? U say ovr 2000mg a week can diminish returns can returns diminish after being on 150mg a day for long time or no?

I followed a stupid thread on BB, and the premise was to eat just one gigantic meal a day, along with maybe a very small protein shake or nutrient dense drink (6 ounces or so) throughout the day.  I liked it, as I didn't have to preoccupy myself with packing and finding time to eat every 2 or 3 hours to get my 6 meals in.  I noticed no real gains or losses in fat or muscle, but my "stress" was a bit lower and it seemed to make my late, late evening gym visits a bit more energetic.

The hardest part is just wolfing down all that food to get the protein and calories you need.  You leave feeling really, really full and got tired after about 8 months or so.

I'd be curious to see if someone could become a freak on tren alone, I mean specifically as the only AAS used in the toolbox. 1-2 grams of tren year round for a year or two. I mean there has GOT to be some redneck in the middle of nowhere with no hookup for shit, who only has access to finaplix, who  just makes those fina kits all day in his mother's basement and walks around 230 hard. I've seen too many freaks out here who I dont think even own a computer lol but they all know how to make tren!

not big freak ,, qwuality freak,, you have to have testosterona in and out for thickness,, the thickness is very important and the testosterona need to be cycled right to create the thickness while trenbolona scuplt this created thickness,, equipona is good too to get into high drive to build this polished quality look with trenbolona and then you can take testosterona down really low for sometime and reintroduce it later

and ofcourse...gh ,, no matter how nasty you will look on trenbolona .... it wil still look not impressive in a shirt as in you will be able to show quality and fellas iwll know you are bodybuild and look quality and look very muscular and conditioned...but! in a shirt and out of a shirt...you will lack the volume that make people go WOW what the fuck ,, it is the conditioned size,, the conditioned volumized size that impress the bodybuild lovers ,, if you want to impres local whores...then trenbolona with minimal testosterona will do it ,,will get you lots and lots of pussy ,,but for bodybuild crowd ...to impress the dantas and sons as i call them ...you will have to have the trenbolona go along with gh and with testosterona and know what you do ,, since as you heard before danta and sons dont even look at 180lb fellas....lol ofcourse danta and sons dont know balonie about what they talk about since 180lb in great condition wipe floor with danta...but for imprsse this biker heavy set type of fatzos you will need gh inaddition to trenbolona and testosterona and variety of other products

phil told me he used deca and dbol....same with porter.....boyer told me he used GH while preparing for the 1994 Masters show. He also told me that several times a week.... he ate cake because his body was burning calories at such a crazy rate.
not doubting they were on dbol and deca, but pretty sure they left a few things out, and understated dosages, thats what they do, even the honest ones

retired or not, you dont hear the mclaren engineer saying exactly what is in the new motor, cause the other guys are listening, plus the "I'm special, and gifted, all hard work, drugs are finishing touch" side of things

dont forget, in the early 80s boyer was "natural", along with tinnerino. they did look a bit smaller, but I think their definition of natural was different from the perception of other people. it was probably ; less deca, then run dbol only final weeks, and last week go completely clean...

francis benfatto was one of my favourite bbers

one thing that him and other serge nubret pupils, like pastel have in common also, is the masters favourite supplement (originally made in france) which he cannot mention due to commitments to muscle science and now his own sup line...

I spent time with Francis Benefatto when he stayed here in Durban and asked him about his diet (he was prepping for a guest posing). he ate between 2 and 3 meals a day when dieting. Sometimes his first meal was at midday or later. He also ate most of his carbs in the evening. Said he woke up in the middle of the night to carb up sometimes as he trained 1st thing on an empty stomach, he drank 3 litres of water while he weight trained

IMO When dieting two most important things are:

1) Being Calorie deficient (Calories in calories out)
2) Getting you macros right (i.e. 250g protein,300g carbs ,50g fat)

Use whatever foods you like to make up your chosen macro ratio (Within reason, best to use foods with the highest macro nutrient density).
The number of meals your food is broken down into whether it be 3,4,5,6,7 0r 8 makes little difference in the big picture. (4-5 fits in well with most peoples schedules)

Obsessing about meal timing is over rated (eating religiously every 2 or 3 hours by the clock

I live near 'the middle of nowhere' and know guys who cycle nothing but tren. 2 twin brothers come to mind and they have been cycling tren for years and have quality physiques. As gh mentioned though, they're missing the thickness needed from test.
