15-20iu GH daily
30iu insulin daily minimum, more as the health deteriorates
IGF1 and other peptides thrown into the mix.
Anti Estrogens
Diuretics

Mandatory Gyno Surgery
Acne medication

etc. etc.

Cliff notes?


This was advertised in Flex and Muscular Development in a 2 page special entitled "The Truth".  Tom Platz and Lee Priest organized a speaking forum where all the real secrets would come out.  It was on a 6 hour porn style VHS tape and they hawked it for 60 bucks each.  A lot of footage based on the Youtube videos is missing however as there was a few more people like Mike Materazzo who needed a quick buck to continue his career


By the way, it was ultimately produced from the same people who sold that "Bulgarian Training System" shit in the late 90's

Double those dosages listed, and I'm not joking in the least.  Then you're on track.  Actually, the insulin you could triple or quadruple and you're getting close to the dosage range for slin.  6-8 grams of injectables at least, a lot use just that much in test alone, then throw in Orals on top, 30-40 iu of GH and more, slin is in the hundreds of ius per day easy.  With any genetics at all, almost anyone can attain a pro physique size wise.  It's just whether or not you're insane enough to use those kinds of dosages... That's it.. Oh, and most importantly, the genetics to somehow stay alive and healthy doing it.

There is a lot of truth in what these guys are saying. I've seen copies of Dennis James and other guys cycles that Milos was training for the Olympia back then and test was around 1000 mg per week sometime lower. Slin and GH were high though and of course there were the other anabolics involved too.

Dennis Newman was good friends with my friend and he def loved winny and sometimes use nothing but at certain times of the year. I remember when he started a comeback and saw some pics of him. He was 100 mg of oral winny per day at the time and nothing else.  

GH was around 10 ius per day and was expensive as hell back then. Guys with AIDS that had the Serano kits were getting roughly $600 per kit in some places.

Ronnie said a lot of stuff. A lot of the guys come completely off after comps for a few months and juice up for the next contests.

Levrone clearly did this and didn't even train yet could come into the Olympia in 4 months and take 2nd. Once you've built it will come back and better if you have a rest. Lee also said he takes Anadrol first i'd heard him say it. I think he took much more than he admits offseason but there are guys taking stupid amounts like Bostin Lloyd and not looking like a pro it kind of kills the idea extreme amounts of drugs are absolutely needed.
