Steroid use in the 60s, 70s

[Bast000]

Many competitors back then claimed to have used dbol only at a dosage of 15-20mg.    From what I read BB's today always say that dosage wouldn't benefit a guy at all.

Is that true, or would it give you a boost at least?

You can make alright gains just from dbol only cycle...the key to a dbol only cycle is to dose 4-6 times daily...Dbol has a very short half life, around 4 hours.....So one should make sure to have a steady stream of it in the body. The dbol should also provide a nice little boost as well...Sure most of the gains will be from estrogenic bloat and glycogen super compensation...However, some of the gains should be muscle...It would be wise to stack it with an injectable like test, EQ, or Deca..

Where did you read this? I've never heard a bb from that era say that is all they used.

As far as "would this benefit a guy at all" short answer, NO

I remeber arnold saying in an interview that a smaller body builder should take 2-4 tabs if dball, and a larger man should take 5-6 dball tabs a day.
I remeber reading this back in a magazine a few years ago.

yes I remember him saying they used to openly talk about what they were on and his example was yeah i take 3 dianabol a day.

[gammahydroxy]

I think i heard that Arnold used like 50mg dbol ED and 700mg primobolan depot weekly..

[coolioni]

It seems to be the general consensous is somewhere between 30-50 mg a day .
Which by today standards is not very high of a dose at all.
Most newbies are taking 50mg a day these day.
They make a 50 mg dball now too just to prove people are taking 50mg+ now.
I have taken 50mg and felt quite a kick from that dose.
I don't see why you need much more than that per day.
It does blow you up real quick, though!
I think I might take some with my next cycle.
The stuff is cheap and always works real well.
I don't think  I have ner heard anyone say dball did not work for them.
 Most people I know that have taken it have always blown up on that quicker than most anything else they have taken.
The problem is the gains are not kept the well after stopping usuage. So, I think it is a must to take it at the begginning of a cycle, and alos taken with a good injectable. It is really good at kick starting a cycle!

Well bro hear it now...dbol does NOT work well for me...in fact I personally hate it.

[sportingsteroids]

how about anadrol 50 mg

[jmt1]

the dbol those guys used was from CIBA...i think production on those stopped sometime in the early 80s...anyway i have been told by guys from that era that there was no comparison between that dbol and the ones around today.

[sportingsteroids]

was it more  powerfull dbol ??

[coolioni]

Well it was american, and the american manufactures are always right on with the dose!
As far as A-50, I to agreee, it does not do crap for me!
But D definatly works, but I never keep the gains!

In pumping iron he claimed that guys were taking 4-6 dbol per day stacked with their anabolic of chioce.

to keep gains use:  deca, eq, HGH ,insulin, primo, winny .....

[legbreaker]

Of course their were the guys that literally took handfulls of stuff including, db, methyl test, halo,anavar etc, BUT for the most part in the gym I trained (Mr Americas in NY) wich was a very good gym loaded with national BB's guys took 10-20 mg, anavar guys were using a little 10 or so (they came in 2.5).  In the 80's when eq got popular it came in 25 and 50 mg/cc bottle.  If you used it a cc every other day that was the HIGH normal.  Today they come 200 and I've heard of guys using 1000 a week.  Even the average gym kid uses a cc every other day...that's 600-800 and they look like nothing.-    Primo 200.  Para was 76 mg or so and NEVER did I hear of guys using more than 2 cc a week.  test was a few hundred and deca the same.  Of course their were guys using 1800 mg's, but not too common.  I remember when a guy I knew that won the america was told by a popular contest traininer in NY (non competitor) to use 1000 mgs a week...it was considered a high dose then.  You can believe what you want, but this is fact.  One more thing, synthroid (used more than cytomel in thsoe days) was used like candy in the mid 80's as well as triacana....then people saw the incredible loss of muscle and backed away.

i have an article in 94 flex magazine  larry scott interview claims to have used dbol between 5 - 15mgs per day,,ill post it

Keeping gains has more to do with your recovery when the cycle is over and much less to do with what steroids you are using.

D-bol and A-50 (if used without anti-E's) usually bloat the hell out of most guys.

[coolioni]

They did not use anti-E-s back in the 70's.
It started in the 80's.
