Well known he used escaline to bring up the calfs.
No, it's not. I never understand why people just make these things up. First off, Escaline is a psychedelic rec drug, it's Esiclene you mean. So much for common knowledge. In fact, most bbers even today have never even heard of Esiclene that was so well known in the 60s-70s. Why is it "well known" and mentioned repeated throughout the decades that Arnold use Primo, Deca, dbol but no mention, never ever of Esiclene? Do you even know when Esciline was invented? Why no mention of it during the 70s and 80s yet it was "well known" that Arnold used it. By who? You have all these guys claiming he got implants but no one, not a single person, ever mentions Escilene. Why? Because nobody used it? Nobody were even aware of it. It's a weak steroid that caused a lot of inflammation. More so than Suspension or Prop. Bill Phillips wrote an article about Escilene as being useful for bbing because that inflammation will last for a few days and some started experimenting with it. Inflammation was a side effect of the compound but not the original purpose.
Arnold never heard of Escilene and never used it let alone that it was well known that he did. Stop making claims you have no way of knowing. Doesn't anyone find it odd that it was only Arnold who had access to all these state of the art compounds and procedures that only became well know and popular beginning in the 1990s? It was "well-known" that he had implants, used cadaver gh, used Escilene, use Synthol (as claimed in another thread) but nobody else. Not Oliva, Louie, Zane, Serge, Grant, Tinnerino... they all knew what he was doing but didn't do it themselves. They just accepted defeat. And think about it, think for just a minute, one of Arnold's flaws which he was aware of but never admitted it but you can see it by how he posed to minimize the flaw was that he had somewhat wide hips and sloping shoulders. Why use Escilene only in his calves, which were already the best in the world, and not add a few drops into his shoulders to enhance the waist to shoulders ratio? Just use some common sense for chrissakes!
It really a sign of the times when so many believe that you simply can't accomplish anything in life without some kind of deep dark secret. His peers could have done exactly what Arnold did in regard to drugs, training, and diet and they still wouldn't have beaten Arnold. Arnold used what everybody else used. Ate what everybody else ate. He exceeded because of genetics and being so insanely driven and had a personality that captivated the public.
Why is it so hard to believe that Arnold was Arnold simply because he was Arnold?
