Its NOT complicated...unless youre retarded enough to believe that the body has no "ceiling" when it comes to its ability to utilize AAS.
The pro's of yesteryear took everything under the sun....it's what the gear of the time, diet, knowledge, allowed.
So basically, the pros went from competition weight of 210 lbs to 280 lbs by just adding insulin and GH with no concomitant increase in steroid dose? Bull...fucking...shit. Let's see...my 86 year-old grandfather takes GH 3 times a week to combat lethargy and poor muscle tone, and even though he has more defined muscles than what his age would otherwise allow, he has gained very little weight since then. I know women who use GH for fat loss and they hardly become Kim Chizevsky from it. I have a cousin who injects insulin every day, several times a day, workouts and he has less muscle than what a normal dude his age has. Neither GH nor insulin have
Now, if you argue that GH and insulin potentiate the effects of steroids, first of all there is no evidence of that besides anecdotal. Also, even if true, it cannot explain up to 70 lean pounds. It is too much. Common sense tells me this is bullshit. And it can only be insulin and GH, because all the steroids we have today have been available in the market since the 1960s with only the name of the brand name changing. And IGF-1 is too expensive(hundreds of Dollars per dose) for even pros with endorsement contracts to be using. Here are the reasons why I believe it is certain that modern bodybuilders take more steroids than old timers:
1. Several modern pros have experienced liver and kidney damage which is typical of steroid(Tom Prince, Don Long, Flex Wheeler, Matarazzo) and not insulin or GH use, whilst I am not aware of any pros from the 1970s that experienced damaged liver and kidneys - there might be, but they are certainly much less than modern pros. One modern pro even died(Munzer) This tells me that the doses of steroids have increased since otherwise the incidence of kidney and liver problems in modern bodybuilders would be as low as that of pros from the 1960s and 1970s and we wouldn't have a pro actually dying from it like Munzer did - and no, he didn't die due to diuretics. It was primarilly heart and liver failure from steroids.
2. Several very successful bodybuilders who competed in the 1980s and were still young in the 1990s retired because they claimed the dosages that needed to be taken to remain competitive were getting ridiculous and they didn't want to jeopardize their health such Shawn Ray, Francis Benfatto.
3. Several bodybuilding insiders who have been coaching bodybuilders for decades state that the doses today are much higher than in the past. Charles Glass, who has been training bodybuilders for over 20 years, flat out said in MuscleMag that the amounts taken by modern pros are nightmarish compared to what they took when he was a youth starting to help pros prepare for contests.
4. Finally, the size increase. Try to explain it away by the introduction of insulin and GH, but it cannot explain the 60-90 pounds of lean muscle that pros have gained over the last 25 years. Neither insulin or GH are anabolic enough to explain that. It has be have been a massive increase in steroid doses. If insulin and GH can potentiate steroids to this degree, I want to see hardcore evidence for it. I am willing to retract and admit that I was wrong if anyone can prove to me that just adding GH and insulin to stroids can cause an increase in mass of up to 90 lbs without an increase in steroid dose. I know several people who take GH and insulin on their own and neither these compounds are very anabolic. They may synergistically increase the anabolic effect of steroids, but I don't think based on how anabolic they are by themselves that they can cause these ginormous mass increases without increasing the doses of steroids as well.
