Arnold Schwarzenegger Explains His Olympia-Era PED Use

Yeah, OK   

It turns out Schwarzenegger built his PED regimen around two drugs, testosterone and D-Bol. The latter is a steroid that remains popular among bodybuilders today. “One hundred milligrams a week,” he says of his testosterone usage, “and then three Dianabol a day, so that was 15 milligrams.”

That's hardly even TRT. 

The man is a liar.  Simple as.

Stuff was legal at the time so it would have been a lot more potent...not only that, he was a genetic freak

YEAH.........OK !!

True on Arnold being a genetic freak. I could also see why he would use as little as possible to win. I just don't see 100mg of testosterone weekly combined with 15mg of dianabol daily to be enough to maintain his Hollywood physique, let alone his Mr. Olympia physique.

test is test, 100 milligrams is 100 milligrams...  Pure bullocks on Arnie...  We know he loved Primo, Test, Deca, Dbol.
Doses were closer to at least 500 mg.

"100 mg"  LMAO

Didn't someone say that Sergio had one of those skittle bowls and he used to take a handful out a time

[Thin Lizzy]

It’s largely true. All the guys I knew from that era had D-Bol as their main drug.

For guys in my age range Deca and Anavar were popular. That’s what I did back then.

I’m pretty out of touch now, but Tren seems to be numero uno these days.

[Skeletor]

That sounds like his current cycle.

He supposedly called it his "candy jar".

[Spike]

Nope just elite genetics and hard training.

Lee was promoting some shitty supplementson his instagram page. One in particular He said "it's the closest you'll get to D-bol" so I follow the links.

The bottle had the same old fucking crap in it: Tribulus,  Fenugreek,  some methylated form of DAA as well as other completely useless shit. It was something like 80 bucks a bottle.  All the comments were like "I already ordered 3 bottles!" "Can't wait to get mine!" "Oh man im so pissed,  they don't ship to Canada "

Fucking A. What a rip-off. Pure and simple just robbing dumb kids of their money.

So is Lee Priest and 99 % of pro BB

I have 35 years and one day in this charade of a sport


when Vic Martinez was asked why there wasn't a single guy in the Olympia Line up with a bubble gut during the Haney years opposed to resent times he said "different drugs and more amount " ...


Victor, an Arnold classic winner and Olympia runner up ......that's as far these champs will come close to drug use info ....that's it  ... you won't find anyone of that caliber being honest about it




WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  Flex Wheeler natural freak

[bhank]

What does it matter why do people think they get a cookie for claiming they are using less gear if you are using gear you are using gear

[Fortress]

That’s just stupid.

Bob Kennedy told me of being with Arnold in Gold’s in the early seventies (people forget they were quite good friends) and The (J)Oak would routinely back down HANDFULS of D … just because.

Yes, the gear was better back then, and Arnold has fantastic genetics, but his saying he was using so very little is insulting. 

[IroNat]

Why is Arnold lying about taking steroids when everyone knows he was natty?

He just wants to be cool.

[pamith]

Bro...

That's  how I like to see it too however;
 they think that all the credit  will be taken away if they are truly honest about drug use  .

But I'm with you ,

It was long ago when I saw greats as Yates, Dillet, Wheeler and Levroneee himself looking like average and even miserable lifters  off the sauce ...It was more painful than finding out Santa wasn't real   but that's this charade of a sport since day one.



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  LEVRONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Goddammit  ( Piana's voice)

[Fortress]

Bro...

Look at that little deranged muskrat.

[AbrahamG]

For her 18th Birthday I'll bet Arnie gave her the old Vienna Sausage.

That`s fiction bro.....do not believe that stupid story.

My man, you know that people get legit Test from the pharmacy all the time, these days.  There are TRT clinics that'll hook you up with 200mg/week of pharm-grade test, easy.  And some people, who have found unusually permissive doctors, can get far more. 

Also, in some parts of Europe, e.g. Bulgaria, testosterone is available OTC at pharmacies, no questions asked.  My Euro bros head down there all the time. 

The pharm-grade stuff today isn't inferior to the pharm-grade stuff from the 1970s...

And I can tell you right now that 100mg/week is a low TRT dose, even if the testosterone comes from Schering or Bayer.  It won't do anything for your physique unless you're laughably low-test to begin with.  Even back in the late 90s, when people tended to recommend lower doses, 500mg/week of testosterone was considered a beginner's cycle.

"100 mg"  LMAO   

Test wasn't a thing back then for bodybuilding. They tried to avoid it because the thinking was anabolic steroids were invented to avoid the problems with straight test like prostate enlargement. Yes though to primo, deca and dianabol. The drugs were more potent back then so they didn't have to take as much.  Saw one guy gain a sick amount on one Anadrol 50 a day. Now I hear guys pop ten a day. If you did that with the one that guys got from the pharmacy it would kill you. The whites of guys eyes would turn yellow taking three a day. Many champs in the 60's and 70's only took Dianabol. It was that potent. I have no clue what's in Dianabol today bought on the black market but it can't be the same drug considering how many guys take today.

I'm anti bodybuilding drugs but I have been around the game long enough through the decades to see and hear what was going on.
