The way I heard (read) of the meeting was that the boys were wondering if it was safe to up their dosage. They were concerned about the effect on their bodies.

( Believe I read this in a Greg Zulak column )

Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that room. Heard the same things happened in the early 70's too at Gold's Venice involving Arnold, Franco etc.

Actually I think the story went they had a meeting to discuss if they should up the dosage to 2 d-bols a day, and not sure who opted to do so, and the rest is history.

Its amazing that Larry Scott (with kinda limited genetics) could reach 20" arms @205 with only 2 dbol a day. Larry had such a pleasing build to look at , we should all be so lucky

That 2 dbols a day story is a total load of crap.....people were popping them like tic-tacs from day one.  Larry Scott was on AT LEAST 10 dbols a day stacked with Deca.  The original dosage reccomended by Zeigler was probably 20-30mg daily.

i guess it must be a slow posting day when the intellectuals scan all the way down to the history section of get big. anyway if you go on testosteronenation.com there's an interesting at least to me article on dr john ziegler the father of steroids in america. in it john grimek is outed as one of the original users of d-bol.see musclememory.com if you don't know who john grimek was.
