Title: Why do people today have better delts than decades ago?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on February 19, 2015, 01:48:02 PM
It's strange but every twink in the gym seems to have decent delts when the rest of their bodies suck.  Their delts all stick out from the sides and are very pronounced.  In days of past, bodybuilders had big chests, arms and such but delts never had that side flare.  It just seems like a strange mutation over the last couple decades.

Emphasis on delt site injections with gear and oil. Also, big delts are 'in' in the same way big chest was back in the 70s and 80s.

I hit my delts for most all injections of trt, only thing it makes grow is scar tissue. I see a little rounder delts after years of this, but nothing dramatic or noticeable to the untrained non thong lover eye

The fact that shoulders get worked with pretty much all of your bodyparts, coupled with the increase interest in muscletech products, it makes sense why delts are bigger than ever.

U just answered your own question, if the rest of a persons physique sucks and thier delts are good it is more pronounced. When physiques are balanced and every muscle group is developed it's not as noticeable

Because the new age twinks like to take the easy way out, and it don't get easier than lateral raises.  It's not that their delts are bigger.  It's that the rest of their body is smaller.

Easy answer: Amount of drugs used today. Delts grow very fast on massive amounts of steroids.

I think this is the answer. The first part to grow when on cycle are shoulders in general.

I could do them with decent weight for years...and then, all of a sudden, I couldn't do shit because my shoulder was fucked. 31 years of lifting like a jackass with no problems and I fuck my shoulder on the 32nd year.

It was likely a cumulative injury though, no?

I just got the photos of my surgery.  I didn't really have problems until recently, but you could see the shit in there that was getting worn down.

Possibly. Although I blame Getbig. I read a post by Whitewidow where he advocated high-rep, moderate to heavy DB shrugs as a burn out. My shoulder never really recovered from that workout. I am just now getting over it.

Damn you, WW!  :D

Post by: Skorp1o on February 20, 2015, 02:44:34 PM
Speaking to an online steroids guru he told me that the deltoid muscles contain the highest concentration of androgen receptors. Hence people who use highly androgenic compounds tend to have better deltoids, seeing as test, tren...etc is more used nowadays as opposed to past rec builders and pros where they relied more on simple anabolics with lower androgenic properties I.e. Deca, primo, dbol....etc.

I think this makes sense from my personal experiences where I used dbol and deca...etc in the past, after switching to tren my delts had a much more rounded look and felt pumped most days on any upper body days.

I noticed thinks cycling the delts was their main body part. Tren-bolognese sauce was very popular and common in Manchester back then.

Does Deca really shut down your sex drive or does adding Dbol balance it out?

Deca murdered me....I used it once for a full cycle. A girl came round and started giving me a blow job for what felt like half an hour, she might as well have sucked my laminate flooring or the door handle, I lost sensation and my penis did not flinch, it was doing the impression of a spineless dead mackerel fish.

Based on the above the only thing IMHO that would balance out deca is a higher test dose.
