the platz info is bs.
can't remember his name but some old timer who was at gold's or world or whatever mentioned platz inviting some people out for lunch (you paid for your own food) and he spilled the beans on drugs used.
He was using everything.
He's lying/exaggerating about so many other things, so....makes sense to exagerrate about "how little drugs he used".
Platz told a guy on another forum that just the Deca was at 1400mg a week, 200 a day. Mentzer ran a gram of Durabolin (fast Deca aka NPP) and this was after he stopped competing.
You don't look like Platz did facially doing those paltry doses.
Furthermore, I don't think Primo was that popular, Nubret came with a suitcase with them, I don't know what kind of distribution channels they had then but it wasn't an American drug to my knowledge. I think it was ALL Deca, Deca and more DECA. Well that and some orals, Dianabol was king. Ask any of those oldtimers and they will all talk about the wonders of Deca. They didn't understand that test is probably even more anabolic than Deca and probably much safer. Because test wasn't even called an anabolic streoid, it was an androgen. You know how they say, "testosterone and anabolic steroids," like one is for growth. But it's still more anabolic.
