Do you guys believe Rich Piana in this video about how he started with gear..?

[Taffin]

[Mods, if this should be steroid board please relocate thanks]

I like to make fun of some of the things he does but I like the guy (so shoot me).  But this video seems a sincere attempt to tell the story of how he first took 'Vitamin-S' and why...

Now I don't know about you guys, but I'm only slightly older than Rich, and before I'm going to stick anything in my body I'm going to at least research a little - internet or no internet (books had been invented back then, most guys my age probably used Duchaine or Phillips as references)

So do you think it is likely that he:
-  bought drugs he didn't know
-  stuck them into him in amounts he guessed - a full barrel 2 or 3 times a week (his words)

and successfully gained 28 pounds as a result of this 'protocol' in 3 months...

it wouldnt surprise me.

i stumbled upon a full bottle of pharm grade anadrol 100 after 2 years of training and the guy told me, take 1 a day for the first week, then 2, then 3.

every time i went to the gym i could do 3-5 more reps on my last PB...i put on over 30lb in the first month. lotsa water im sure, but when the bottle was finished i was well over 20lb heavier and it showed, and stayed.

Yes it doesn't seem out of this world. Especially for a buffoon like him. He probably still cycles in a similar fashion nowadays.

Yes sure I suppose the gains are possible with some serious eating... but the guy gave you directions... would you have taken them randomly without any idea of the potential toxicity?  (Or am I just being naive/a p*ssy?) (I know the answer LOL)

Before I knew jackshit about injectable gear,I used to do a full syringe... 3 cc`s once a week.


I looked awesome.....for me anyway.

Had no knowledge of halflifes or certain compounds at all.

On a sidenote,the gear was legit and usually in ampules......far far better than todays stuff.

Piano is an idiot deluxe.

Crazy.

I always thought people researched stuff on the internet in the 70's and 80's before injecting these pharmaceuticals!

Well I assumed they'd at least have read the label LOL.  But seeing Wes's comment was an eye opener, I really did think everyone would have given things a little thought, but I now consider myself well and truly edu-ma-cated...

But surely someone told you, or you read, that that was a good idea? Please tell me it wasn't a guess..?

Just like the 17 year old who was told heroin is great!

3cc's ? Did Bostin Loyd payed you royalties for that idea?

We considered anything under a full syringe was a waste of time.

Hindsight is 20/20.
