Title: Question from Dr Dutch: why didn't the young Arnold get gyno ?
Post by: Dr Dutch on June 01, 2011, 12:43:27 AM
I guess the oak started poppin pills by the dozen from a very young age. Why did he never get bitch tits. I can't image he had surgery when he was that young. Can someone answer this ?

Genetics, plain and simple.

So some people don't get gyno, even at mega doses AAs?

I'm not entirely sure, but although we don't know exactly what Arnold took back in the 60's, it sure wasn't "mega dosages" compared to the bodybuilders of today - if you look at other guys of that time, like Sergio or Lou Ferrigno, they never had gyno either. But again, it may have just been genetics. Franco had it a bit later on towards the late 70's.

Some guys have gyno even before touching a weight - it's just the way that the hormones in their bodies work during puberty - after they start lifting it can get worse and once they start using gear it gets worse still. Once you get to that point it's irreversible and only surgery can get rid of it.

Not every kind of AAS caused gyno; dbol, does not, Tren does not, etc.

Arnold took tons of Testo and Deca as well; Testo>gyno, Deca>progesterone based gyno...

He didn't get it because he had the genetics.

The way his slabs of chest meat (that didn't sound right) hung, it would be hard to tell for sure. He may have had a mild case of recurring gyno...

Some guys have chests that really exaggerate the gyno, others don't show it, but they still have it to an extent.


If he really took what they say he took (like Primobolan and Deca) I doubt that he really had much of a propensity towards gyno.


Genetics are a huge (no pun intended) contributing factor. Some guys boatload shit that is notorious for causing gyno and they never have a problem, other guys take only small ammounts and immediately have a problem.

Another thing to consider is the fact that keeping dosages steady also helps to eliminate gyno. The guys who take a bunch of shit and then nothing are going to be more prone to gyno b/c of their constantly wavering test levels.
