You can see that the slin causes bloated faces while being ripped. This is becoming more common today.

For a year or two dude was unmatched for hardness/fullness/vascularity. A very cool, but not too pleasing physique.

I've heard rumors that Tim was the type of guy who would use 500mgs of Anadrol a day for months at a time. And that his ankles would swell up and everything. Crazy dude.

His "story" in the mags was that he was so scrawny he used to get beat up by chicks

and also that he trained legs so hard he had to be carried out of the gym

even as a 15 year old I assumed both were bullshit

he is was a diabetic bodybuilder and people noticed he gained muscle very easy so he is kinda thought of as the one who introduced slin to bodybulding many say slin dont work with out gh Idk if I completely buy that he did pretty good. I think many tinker withit but he stayed the long haul. Another thing slin user that arent bodybulders carry more muscle also in medical studies. Tim is a total moron though dont even know shit about shit.

He was on HMR a while back and said he preferred the orals vs injects as the injects raised his bp too high.

he claims he did all orals for the most i actually believe him if you listen to him talk its clear he has no idea about much of anything. I always have noticed when only steroids are invloved oral abusers tend to get the biggest.

Really?

That's interesting.  I admit I've only dabbled every other year or so, but when I did Dianabol-only cycles, I'd get a good bit stronger but not gain a ton of weight.

Test E only, though?  Holy fuck.  My college ring was too tight to wear by the third week -- and while most of what I gained was, in fact, just water, I was tons bigger on 500 mgs and even 250 mgs/wk. (frontloaded a gram) than I ever was on 30-50 mg/DBol ED.

Then again, there's a big difference between my 30-50 milligrams and what some of those guys messed with.  If he said he did very little test but upwards of 100 mg. of Anadrol a day, I might believe it.

orals are great...i´ve never been as strong as when i did legit dbol with some test in there...bloated mess but a strong mofo...i could get 2 reps on 450 in bench at 19...always liked oral winny too...anadrol sucks though mostly because i got depressed on it and could not eat properly
Title: Re: tim belknap and slin.
Post by: Schmoe Buster on December 26, 2011, 04:55:18 AM
what orals?

For size its going to be Dbol and Anadrol, high doses, bigger you want to get the more you take

Guys were doing 90mg per day of Dbol back in the early 70's

With today bs juice that would be 2 Dbols a day at 50mg each. Back in the 70 and 80's Dbol was only 5mg each so that would be 18 pills a day. Most of the gym rats back then took 2-4 tabs a day. THe shit was really strong back then, not like todays shit.
