todays size.....ie the reason guys are so much bigger today has nothing to do with the steroids they take, they take the same as people did years ago, the difference is the GH and insulin.
I disagree. Not every State level bber are taking gh and insulin. GH is not cheap and many simply cannot afford it. This I know for a fact because they complain that they wish they had the funds to make gh worth while (at least 5-6 ius for someone in their 20s). Yet they are bigger and even more ripped than the bbers of the 70s and 80. That's because they are simply taking much more gear than those from previous generations.
I'm almost 60 years old and worked in a hard core bbing gym filled with competitors from various levels during the 80s and saw the progression over the decades. Dr. Walzak would start you on 200mg deca every two weeks and one dbol (5mg) quickly going up to 3 tabs (15mg). No one seemed to use Test.
The serious ones who competed supplemented with Mexican gear and would use 200mg/week of Deca and 5 tabs of dbol/day (25mg). You were considered pushing it if you went up to 400mg Deca. I remember the first time rumors were circulating that some were taking 50mg of dbol a day. I remember one bber telling me "That's TEN fucking pills a day? A whole bottle is only going to last you TEN days. That's crazy!" Fast forward to the 90s and the standard for a bulking cycle was a gram of Test, 600mg/wk of Deca or EQ, 50mg dbol/wk or 50-100mg Drol per week. Contest prep included three 1.5ml amps of Parabolan per week at 75mg per amp, 225mg per week.
Nowadays things are measure not in mg but in grams. Grams of Test a week, Grams of Deca or EQ or both. Even a gram/wk of Tren.
If you have connections you can gear for cheap. But even with connections even Chinese gh starts to add up because there's no 2-3 ius a day in bbing. That would be a waste. Even at $200/kit you'll still be forking out at least $400/month just for gh. That's a lot for a kid in his twenties and he knows he can get a brand new car for less per month than what he would be paying for gh. Most realize that at their age they still have a lot of growing left by just upping the dirt cheap Test
