The real golden age of bodybuilding.

[ritch]

I know the history of steroids and testosterone. You said Reeves used them. Prove it.

Stay with you head in the sand then fan boy.

[Coach is Back!]

Most seem to interpret the "golden age" to what ever years they grew up with it at. Earl said the 80's - 2000. Not sure how old he is but that's HIS interpretation of it. Those who grew up with it in the 90's are going to think its the 90's. I say it was the early 70's to the late 80's early 90's because it was guys like Arnold who made bodybuilding somewhat mainstream. When people started following Arnold they started following bodybuilding and then pumping iron came along.

Finally,a good thread from Mr. White.

Right, you have no proof. It's just because you didn't know what you were doing, and only succeeded in achieving smallness, that you feel anyone who did it right, just had to do more drugs than you did. We understand your jealousy of Steve Reeves.

As bodybuilding is today, the contestants are fat ugly mass monsters, and monsters only in the sense that they appear to have escaped from some really bad 1950's Sci Fi movie. Show pictures of today's bodybuilding stars to women and their reaction is "Yuck," and "Gross." Show pictures of Steve Reeves or Reg Park to girls and they say "Wow," and "Hot."

I don't know who you are, so I can't post your picture.

You don't know who I am just like you don't know Reeves as you think you do.
Accept it man. No big deal in him using gear, he had a nice physique indeed.

There is zero evidence that Reeves was a juicer. You're just jealous of his achievements, and rightfully so.

Ok.
You win.

I am deeply jelous of Reeves because he was drug free, I am not and he is better than me.

Yay!!! You win.

Yes I did win!

[ritch]

but the people who know the real deal know what a clown you are.

Don't worry, in time, you will know.
In the mean time, you should just your trap and stay in the back of the class where you belong.

Fan boy.

Yes Reeves has fans. You don't!

[NarcissisticDeity]

testosterone was synthesized in what year? Surely you can figure the rest out. Sorry fan boys, but your guy reeves was a juicer.
Deal with it.

Has absolutely NOTHING to do with Reeves. There is NO history of athletes using performance enhancing drugs until Dr John Ziegler at the earliest 1956 , which was 6 years after Reeves retired.

Stop making assertions and drawing your own conclusions. Provide proof he was using.  We both know you can't If you can provide something more than vague references what are you waiting for? 



 

[ritch]

hey dipshits.... prove to me guys today are using? Give me factual proof of this. You can't idiots.

So how is one supposed to prove this shit back then?

No pleasing you stupid cock suckers.

Deal with it you pussy boys.

The end.

[ritch]

Yes Reeves has fans. You don't!

Why seek fans when I got fan boys like you following me???

Go to rx muscle.com, great thread on this very topic with lots of guys (real vets who know the history of this shit...) to vouch for what I'm saying.

And while you're there, how about you stay there?

Thanks!

ND, have you read this article? Thoughts?

http://weightrainer.blogspot.com/2009/08/history-of-steroids-in-bodybuilding.html

Some excerpts from the article

"it[testosterone] didn't receive FDA approval as a prescription drug until 1950 and, therefore, injectable testosterone was produced only sporadically and in small batches for research purposes"

"it wasn't until 1954/1955 with Ziegler, that Grimek wrote of getting his first testosterone injections."

"Nobody in the west can say for sure exactly when the Soviets began using testosterone, but the likely date is sometime before October 1954 and possibly as early as 1952."

[Mr. MB]

They have NO proof whatsoever and never can offer anything other than vague references of testosterone in come magazine or an obscure reference from a book.

There is NO history of athletes using performance enhancing drugs until Dr John Ziegler in 1956 and that was 6 years after Reeves retired.

Reeves was my trainer/mentor at the Bert Goodrich Hollywood Gym in the md 50s. The little blue pill (Ciba Labs Dbol) did not show up until '56-'57 as you say. Reeves was as natural as my grandmother. He would place somewhat low these days in a blood/urine tested natty show. However, in the 50s he was king.

For me the 50s were the golden age. The 70s were electric. The 80s-90s era the fun age for bodybuilding. And yes....contests and expos these days absolutely suck. 90% of the participants and audience have nothing to do with BODYBUILDING.

Glad I was around for the glory days.
