Here's a nice piece for you, my naive friend....a discussion between some old timers about the "good ol days"...LOL
http://www.steroidology.com/forum/anabolic-steroid-forum/18164-old-time-bodybuilders.html
Ummmm...No offense intended but those are pretty much anonymous people on an internet forum. I was around and I am yet another anonymous person on an internet forum and here is what I recall.
The guys I knew didn't take a ton of what was available. Oral steroids are quite hard on your liver and kidneys, so it would be folly indeed to take copious (for those of you in Rio Linda, CA, that means "a SHITload") of pills.
The guys I knew also took time off. Why? They worried about their health and the possible side effects. I knew of one fellow that did take more than was common of one type of oral that was I believe a 50 mg tablet. One day prior to training and after having been on this dose for a couple of weeks he remarked that he hadn't gotten any bigger or stronger but that his urine was clouding up and at times there was evidence of blood in it.
I could tell you stories of watching one fellow that was most definitely someone with what so many here call "great receptors" or whateverthefuck they term it. I could but then I am really nothing more than some anonymous poster on some internet forum and my words, no matter how true I say they are, are really worth no more than the ones in your linked thread, Bob.
Oh yeah, one more thing. The guys I knew? They're still alive. Still have most, if not all of their hair. Still have both kidneys as well as a fully functioning liver and grown children. The last part I mentioned because steroids will cause what is medically termed "
Oligospermia".
Men that take great quantities of AAS have a sperm count that is lower than their IQs and the few sperm they do produce are, shall we say, "slow". This often (not always) results in the inability to impregnate a woman. Fags could care less about this side effect, but real men, like the guys I knew, loved women and when they married a woman they wanted to have a family with her.
So then, what do I think, not feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel, is the truth? Today's bloated, narcissistic, oil filled, schmoetastic, faggoty, turgid with drugs, lazy nearly non-amublatory bodydoper has nothing on the men of the 60s through the early 80s and even less on the true physical culturists of the early twentieth century on into the 40s and 50s.
Fuck that noise.
And remember, I think quite highly of you. I find you far more articulate than the majority of current and former professional bodybuilders, so please do not think to belittle me as I have not done so to you. Because if you do...

Thanks, kid.
