GREG ZULAK used to have a pretty decent column in Muscle Mag,but it eventually turned into nothing more than a cleverly hidden( well,not so cleverly) advertisement for muscle tech.
   Also had some very questionable advice in regards to get'n shit over the border. Such as cleaning out a bottle of sun tan lotion and filling it with your injectable gear.Yeah that is real sterile isn't it.But all in all I think he did know what he was talking about as far as gear and the side effects.I haven't read Muscle mag in like 6 or 7 years so I don't even know if he still writes for them

Yup, I agree. I loved Zulak's column because he basically kept us informed on new products/drugs, and he would also advise how to take and what was garbage. He knew very well what he was talking about. very informative.

They aren't credible at all. Pros will never admit to what gear they on. Serge Nubret still insists he's natural. Does he believe people are stupid? I recall reading that Mike Quinn said he was squatting something like 500Ibs before he even touched steroids which I don't believe. I would even go far as to say that most pros were on gear before they even lifted a weight in their life.

Squatting 500 lbs. all natural isn't all that incredible.  I did a 600 lbs. single before I touched anything.

I think he said he was repping out with full squats though and was only 16 years old at the time.
600Ibs is impressive are you a powerlifter?

No, it was FAR from decent. In fact, it was loaded with 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade bullcrap. Period.

and dont forget a lot of these guys fcuking lie all the time. they all think they have superman powers. does honesty still exist in bodybuilding. Rarely, will you find a Pros telling it like it is, or something true about himself

It doesn't matter nowdays with the internet. A good steroid forum will have all that you need. Mick Harts no bull mag used to be great, havn't read it in a long time though.

If you already know that, why does FLEX have to constantly remind you? And, what difference does it make, unless you're trying to emulate some of those guys, anyway?

Muscular development and Musclemag international are the closest in telling the public about steroids.

Greg Valentino said he had 21" guns before he ever touched a steroid. Steve Michalik claims he won the America and the Universe before he touched a steroid. These guys think everybody is deluded as they are I guess. ::)

we are talking about credibility and your talking about personal preference on a direct individual
