I'm telling you gh, and I'm a fan of yours and took the time to read everyone of your post and always keep one tab open just for your latest comment, that we were just kids at the time and were very naive and uninformed. I was very involved in athletics and weight training and neither my friends or myself knew anything about gear. We never talked about it because we were just unaware. We thought Bruce Lee was huge. This guy I'm talking about looked like a bodybuilder in the 7th grade. How likely was it that a 12-13 year old had the access and funds to buy drugs? And you think their parents would buy it for them? It's not like kids today where a parent is require to buy you a car and all the latest electronics and name brand close. We were just islander hicks. And this kid was no fatty. Like I said 5'6" 165lb with clearly defined abs. And drugs were just not available to kids at that time even if we knew about it and we didn't have the money. I use to shop lift protein powder and powdered milk because I didn't have any money as a teen. I had to save for over a year to get a Sear's 110lb weight set. No way I could afford gear. And I didn't live in section 8 housing like this kid did. I ask him once what he got for Christmas and he said, with pride, a University of Hawaii Warriors T-shirt. A f-ing t-shirt and that was it! I doubt his parents would then get just him (he had four brothers who were also muscular but wasn't into training like he was) some d-bol, deca and test at 14 years old.
BTW, he went on to get a wrestling scholarship and went into business and is doing pretty well. Not everybody wants to parade out on stage oiled up in a thong and flex their muscles no matter how gifted they are. Genetics does matter. And some people never get muscular no matter what they do. Whether it's how they respond to anabolics or how they respond to resistance training. I think the freaks, like Coleman, have extraordinary response to both. He didn't get on his level on just drugs alone. Every one else was doing pretty much the same thing, i.e., training, nutrition, performance enhancing compounds, as he was, but nobody was at his level. Same with Arnold during his time. They were both blessed genetically in all aspect in regard to bodybuilding.
i di believe you believe what you saw to be the truth ,,it may be and its from a child perspective as in 12 year old usually se thing in dif manner tha adult and it influence him oir her for life,,its like when you see terminator at age 9 and from then on arnold is super human,,,i do believe you that you believe this is to be the case with the kid
never theless,,people who live in block 10 in the getto are surrounded by drug dealers and trafickers from young age ,,their way out of this life is to be athltes and try to become the best in the getto and then go from there,,,its a vishous circle that still exist to this day and im very femiliar with it,,those kids especially in your times in 70s were surrounded with plenty of narcotics and hormones were like candy ,,legit hormones that you can walk in and steal or just get from your older brother bro that was t he neigberhood assistant dealer in cheif,,,innocence has nothing to do with it,,you lose your innocnece in the getto very fast and know how to keep yourmouth shut otherwize you will be stucj in getto for life time and end up in the same poorcondition you were born to,,
the 70s was a very good era for dealers in america,,,till today the narcotics are part of every poor neigberhood ,,,hormones are like candys there its not even considered a drug and it shouldnt,,its just very easy to get and was super easy to get in 70s because it was like getting a piece of gum it was easier to get than cigars,,
even a kid who dont know shit about shit can poop a pill in and with dianabol it means a severe stength increase,,with anavar and halo it means super human strength especially in the eyes of kids,,
now i agree most chanses are at age 12 most kids wont have the capacity ,,in general,,but in the getto kids at 12 are = 20 year olds anywhere else,,
friend i amextermly knowledgable when it comes to the human body and hormones,,it is almost immposible to show me something new that i ahevtn experienced through out my years in bodybuilding,,im also narcisistic and it comes out in bad way when i post,,never the less what i say is accurate
i do however believe you
that in yuor point of view this kid was natural
