Title: Poor Man's Dianabol
Post by: Thin Lizzy on October 18, 2014, 08:08:31 AM
I remember an old school 1970's bodybuilder in my first gym say that eating lots of saltine crackers and cheese was "Poor Man's Dianabol." I guess it's because of all the water you'd hold.

Anyone else hear of this?

Considering dbol is about as expensive as air, that's a low bar to get under. Even saltines might be more expensive if you spring for the name-brand ones.

What an amazing drug dbols is especially for a begginer who is lean starting out. I started my first run with it at 20 years old. I was a lean 175 pounds in the best shape of my life. My weight went up to 205 in a few weeks. My bench went up like 50-60 pounds. It was shocking. First run is always the best. God the acne was terrible though. You can't really say yournt juicing when your a back is covered in acne and your weight blows up that fast. It was so obvious.

Back in the 70's I knew a friend of Drapers. Said his arms cold, in contest shape were eighteen and one half inches at 215 lbs. Doesn't sound huge but those are some impressive arms.

My first AS was Dbol. I had a script and it was in the days shit was legal. I blew up 20 pounds in 6 weeks and my bench went up almost 50%. I was 43 so I dodged acne. Stuff began to scare (too aggressive) me so I gave it to my WO partner. Went on T and Decca at a local sports med Doc and did a lot better.

I did hear of "poor mans Dbol" in a Pasadena Ca. gym. It was 2 scoops of creatine in a qt. of pure grape juice.

Was this the case in the 1970s?

My first printer, the HPIII, cost $1500.

There wasn't a shortage of table salt in the 1970s that I know of.

When i started juicing dbol was ten euro per hundred x 5mg tab. With powders you.could do.a.cycle for 2 dollars in theory. That.is.6 weeks at 50mg/day.

Just go to quiznos and order a big bowl of brocoli and cheese soup with saltine crackers to bulk up.

 ;D just venting my feelings on menstruation.

We all get more edgy on hormones but you should always be able to control it. Don't blame hormones if you were a dick. Nearly all fights are instigated because of problems going on with the person who started than the person he starts it with. My experience anyway, I was a dick when had other issues going on when normally would let shit slide.

The guy I had beef with was at fault too, but I was really taking a lot of D-bol on that cycle, it was winter here and I was taking 50mg twice a day for 6 weeks,
when I went off on him I sounded like I was back in the military shouting...
Now I look back on it and it was just dumb... :(

Also Dr. Walczak in the SF valley. He took care of all the L.A. sports teams with his T cyp/Decca once a week shot. I saw loads of sports celebs in there. Years later Tommy Lasorda claimed..."my boys never juiced!" Yeah, right Tommy.

Had dinner with Kerr at Caesars Palace in Vegas  along with Rory Lidelmeyer, Joe Sanchez and a few others...names forgotten. Dayum that was long ago.
