He was one of the strongest bodybuilders and probably the only one who took part in WSM competitions.

Gary Taylor?

That's right, I forgot about him. Franco Columbu too.

I bet he absolutely loved Anadrol, the greatest oral made probably.
I believe he was coached by The Chad at least for a while.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if he didn't love it. From what I've heard, he was very strong. Someone who trained with him once said they witnessed him incline bench press 600 lbs (272.5 kg)!

Looks natty.

Looks like Dave Palumbo

I've read that Chad at least used to be a fan of Anadrol for his athletes. And why not, it's hard to beat a stack of Test, Tren and Anadrol. Or even Anadrol by itself, which I did for extended periods in my youth. Nasser was a fan, Milos said Nasser used up to 10 a day and showed it in his old journal notes. In a podcast Chad said Nasser's eyes were turning yellow, because he was using 5 a day with a ton of Winstrol. Dianabol does make me feel better mood-wise though and those who say it's shit and antiquated are full of shit IMO.

No surprise, Leffler died at 36. Wasn't there a rumor that he ended up in hospital because of all the DNP he took and had to take multiple cold baths for days to keep his temperature down?

I remember him. Very veiny. Didn't he have a Hawaii connection? Not sure why I think that.

I remember him well............freaky looking build.

Heart attack due to steroid use and excessively heavy lifting, such a healthy lifestyle!

His heart wasn't nearly as strong.

Yes, in 1998 he started experimenting with DNP and unfortunately it ended badly.

I watched that podcast with Chad you're talking about. As for Anadrol, I love it too. I only take 25 mg a day with breakfast, and it works very well. No heartburn or loss of appetite. I have 100 tablets (25 mg), so I'll be taking that dose for 100 days.
-
I used to take 50-mg anadrol pre workout
loved it
also got full and round as hell on it.
genuinely my favourite drug. BUT health sides arent good. IF I were to do it again it would be in 4 week hits

This was his favorite shoulder exercise, and he apparently did it his entire career. Some people are clearly not harmed by this movement.
-
I do. Our own 9nlyme/Keith Jones said Curtis was so purple, some guys at their gym called Curtis "Barney the Dinosaur."

Worlds strongest man showing in 95.

He didn't do so well then because it was literally a few days after the bodybuilding competition and he was still depleted by the diet.

Incidentally was just gifted 50 25mg tabs. It definitely works even at 25mg. Maybe even less as Matt C showed :D That one UK maniac guru who died said the fact that Anadrol came in 50mg tabs showed it was a relatively weak steroid; contrasting it with for example Winstrol which often came in 2mg tabs (I tried the Zambon ones at the time.) The higher doses became popular when IP China started pressing his 50mg tabs. As I get older I tolerate orals less and less, a common thing. I start omeprazol with the first tab and only do short cycles (if I were to do them).

Paul Borresen said that I remember!
I really enjoyed dbol- specifically pronabol 5- indian made 5mg pink tabs or naopism.
loved Anadrol every work out weights went up, shoulder size and roundness went crazy for some reason to the extent where Jamal the former 202 olympia said I had put a load of shoulder size on- I was over the moon.
Medically I cant touch that for a while. but hey ho. I love training thats the high for me. Plus you have to play the cards you are dealt!

If I were you, I wouldn't take omeprazole long-term due to its negative effects on the entire body. Have you tried other methods for combating reflux, such as apple cider vinegar, baking soda, or turmeric? For me, reflux only occurs with hot coffee (which is why I only drink it cold) and when I eat a lot of carbohydrates.

Leffler was friends with "Only Me", Keith Jones. He had the nickname "The Purple Dinosaur" because of the Anadrol and Barney, The Dinosaur being popular around the same time. He was also an early strength guy for MMA, you can see him with Belfort during some fights.
Also Mike "Chi Mind Control" Dayton was another bodybuilder that was in an early WSM. He did ok for a light guy.

He lived in Hawaii for many years.
Here he is in the 1995 NPC Nationals where he took 5th. Lists him from Honolulu, HI. Man have things regressed since then.

Yes Borresen said that!
NM: What drugs don't you like?
PB: I don't like testosterone cypionate. It's a very raw drug. It also makes you depressed. Anadrol is a shit drug. The fact that it's a 50-mg tablet tells you how weak it is.
NM: I've often made that same point, but it's amazing how many people don't "get" it. The low-dosed drugs, like Winstrol, build the most muscle.
PB: Winstrol is a very potent tissue-building drug in the truest sense! As far as effectiveness in building muscle, 50 mg of Winny tabs will blow 50 mg of Anadrol right out of the water!
NM: Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not alone in that evaluation.
PB: It's so obvious. Anadrol is designed to correct anemia. It builds red blood cells. It does not build muscle. It may help at the end of a course to "fill up" on blood, which may help you to hold on to the gained weight. It's a poor man's EPO [erythropoietin]. If I wanted to make a lot of money, I'd design a drug and call it Super-bol 5,000,000! Everyone will think it's really strong!
People have so much of this stuff wrong. They think that Primo's weak, when it's actually very strong. They say that Anadrol is powerful, when it's actually very weak. Cypionate is more popular than enanthate, but the enanthate is terrific and cyp is crap. They draw conclusions without really understanding basic pharmacology. People should be using the finer, sophisticated drugs like Primo and Winstrol, not cypionates and the veterinarian products. It's so absurd!
The cyp opinion is interesting, I remember "Animal" (the cyclist) saying cyp was shit compared to enanthate. For some reason the US chose cyp and Europe chose enanthate. Now Vigorous Steve and a couple of co-hosts say there's something wrong with cyp, it doesn't stack with increasing levels with continuous admin for some reason, even though half-life is similar. Since I always write so much, I'll do it here too - steroid profiles give enanthate a long half-life of about a week but I can't find that in the literature. My old PDR said test e had a half-life as low as 2 days!
Anadrol may not be quite as unhealthy as many people think. My liver enzymes have always been normal while on it. Of course you have the high BP and red blood cells but that's all steroids. I have a weird thing in that I have slight anemia even on steroids like Anadrol, getting it looked at. Anadrol is the only drug that I can sort of feel a little after a dose when it comes to performance. I like 3-4 hours before workouts although it's supposed to peak in 2 hours. And I've said it so many times, Anadrol makes me sleep subjectively better and longer, same with Dianabol. The negative is daytime sleepiness. My second Dbol I tried was Hungarian Naposim. Very good. I'd still like to use the old Akrihin Russian ones, the first ones I tried, just for the sentimentality aspect. They had this slightly sweet flavor as I remember :D
If I were you, I wouldn't take omeprazole long-term due to its negative effects on the entire body. Have you tried other methods for combating reflux, such as apple cider vinegar, baking soda, or turmeric? For me, reflux only occurs with hot coffee (which is why I only drink it cold) and when I eat a lot of carbohydrates.
Yes I've thought of that, reduced uptake of vitamins among other things. I consume a lot of baking soda packets that sizzle when mixed with water. Extremely satisfying with immediate relief when you have acid reflux, but not long lasting. It may have PED effects, can fasten recovery after workouts and give an endurance boost when taken before. I've had pancreatitis and omeprazol is apparently standard treatment for that, something to do with stomach motility; they've given it IV too. The other thing that really helps bad reflux is this drug called Gaviscon that coats stomach contents after meals. I've been meaning to try betaine hcl for the longest time, in case my problem is 'too little' stomach acid :D
Very bad acid reflux is hell, especially if you wake up in the middle of the night with it and don't have anything to relieve it :D

he won...
Don Long won, Leffler was 5th, starts at about 4mins into video

re anadrol
the pimps are crazy
i would bet that someone somewhere on the 50mg anavar that pop up its 25mg of anadrol
great pre workout
strength increase
mad pumps
wake up pumped
i've never done tbol! any views?

I did 100 10mg tabs. I can't really say I noticed anything but it was because I was on several other things at the same time. One guy on professionalmuscle raved about it but he was using 150mg a day! The Germans weren't stupid, I'm sure it "works." I remember reading some German athlete had used 2 or 3 thousand milligrams of it in a year, he was an example of the highest dosers. I told the guy on promuscle he used as much in one month LOL. It's described often as a weaker dbol. Dbol has fallen out of favor by the influencers but for me the drug just made me feel so good and that's a very important aspect IMO. If I had to live my PED life again dbol would be in my first cycle with an injectable. Test, dbol and GH from the start.

I used Tbol almost a year ago during my recomposition—40 mg for over 7 weeks. I like it. I lost a significant amount of body fat without changing my weight. The only downside is the terrible back pumps.

Palumboesque ,freak condition,same look and shape 95 Dave had,
-
Met Curtis for the first time in Honolulu Hawaii at the Gym as it was called in the 90s also used to bump into him in Golds Venice, huge guy like Palumbo skin tone was purple, clearly had circulation problems and way too much blood in his body. Nice guy insanely strong. But he looked like walking death his blood pressure looked to be through the roof got covered in purple black dots whenever he trained. But super nice guy very approachable, never spoke dosages with him, but those were the anadrol anapolan days and his body had that anti anemia look too many red blood cells.

thanks JK
when i am better I may do TRT with the occasional oral 6 weeker. Tbol is one i am looking at. Adrol will have to be consigned to the bin sadly!
-
I used Anadrol 50 for a contest.........got it from a friend whose doctor prescribed it for him.
I don`t remember what else I used during that cycle but I looked fantastic...... for me anyway.
Hard as nails,very vascular, and stronger than Hell.
-
one helluva drug
the old turkish anapolon.
lovely
plays too much havoc with RBC count for me now but in terms of visual change it was the best for me. when done with 1ml sust 1ml tren ace M/W/F 3 weeks I looked completely as in people staring at me difference!
sadly i started coming out in a rash that itched to fuck!

It has a reputation as a "wet" steroid but things change near comp, you are still dry. I would say best comp oral.

I always wanted to try that. Duchaine said it was responsible for most bad side effects of steroid users. Did you have any problems?

Not at all,I looked my best ever and felt great !
I never went too far overboard on gear and as a result,I had very few side effects......never did post cycle therapy and my test levels seemed to bounce back very quickly.

Good to hear. The people who had problems probably never came off.

actually for the time it was likely a world record.

Actually saw a guy at my gym doing that in the late 80’s I was 17 or 18 at the time, guy was insanely strong and the biggest dude in the city at the time, repping out with no spotter like it was a walk in the park, huge purple cysts all over his back, blew my mind lol

doubt it.. he would be a known name if he did that.
-
Doubt it if you want but I personally witnessed it, this was in Canada
-

I also witnessed the same in the late 80's. The guys name was Sean Foley. He was the biggest and strongest guy I have ever seen in my life. And I powerlifted for 15 years. He never competed in anything. He was just insane and strong AF. He weighed about 300 pounds and maybe 6 foot. He committed suicide a few years back. His pressing strength was unreal.

Are you taking a lot of it lately mate? Just asking?
;D
Sorry but how did i miss this!

He was one of the strongest bodybuilders and probably the only one who took part in WSM competitions.

Ferrigno, franco c, mike dayton, david johns all took competed in WSM.

it is not likely that you both witnessed a feat that is world wide top 5 performance in some local bumfuck gyms in nowhereville
I call bullshit 100% on both of you lying dumbfucks...
-
here is Ted Arcidi former bench world record holder with a 665 bench doing 375 for 5 reps
so that both your gym pals was repping out 405 behind the neck press I find that extremly unlikely. I.e. more probable that you are just two shit talkers online.

Thanks for the kind works. This guy was juiced to the gills and the only person I have witnessed using a 10 cc syringe filled to inject. His crazy ass would do in the the bathroom right out in the open. He could careless. He still was the strongest shoulder presser I have ever seen and this was before the Smith machine.
