Title: Ron Love would annihilate today’s IFBB lineups
Post by: Royalty on July 31, 2024, 02:03:02 PM
Worked a full-time job, 6 feet tall, had real muscle, and he looked like he took minimal doses (by today’s standards)

Just fix the gyno, and he’d kick ass.

Could you say how you can see if someone is on a lot or a little? I'm not dismissing the idea, I think I "see" things as well, but I just thought about you comment of Ron and I don't necessarily see low dose here. For sure doses are up overall but not necessarily that much, it's more about GH and insulin. Those are the only things that changed bodybuilding, not the steroid doses necessarily.

His face looks aged

Seems the roids that cause this most are mast and tren

Doubt he was using mast but tren probably

Tren? Wasn’t around when he was competing, no?

I recall Parabolan (as I understand it, essentially Tren) being available in the very early ‘90s, but it was considered a very difficult steroid to come by.

He was definitely a lot older that the other guys that he competed against back in the late 80’s/early 90’s

You can look haggard on all steroids.

I wonder about steroid distribution in those days, because reading on forums a lot of people claim having used it. Did everyone know a guy who flew there to pick it up or was it more organised?

I would not be surprised if Nasser and his crew in Germany were supplying top amateurs and pro’s in the USA.


It that video that was posted here last month, a guy claimed that Nasser had a ‘organized crime’ sort of thing going on at a big gym in Germany. This person claimed that Nasser told him that he was not allowed to go “downtown”.... the guy didn’t listen, he went downtown and he got KO’d by Nasser.


This naive person was probably talking too much about whatever endeavors Nasser and his team were into


A few years later, Nasser was at the top of the sport.

I’d say fina had to be around in the 70’s. They had finaplex for cows going back a good while. I’d assume bodybuilders would’ve taken advantage of that as soon as they could.

I began working out in ‘85 and within a few years was a member at Toronto’s most hardcore gym, Gold’s (West).

Place was packed with IFBB pros, pro wrestlers, top-flight powerlifters, etc. Several names that would be known here.

I NEVER heard ANYONE talk about much else but Dianabol, Deca, Sustenon250, Winstrol, Anadrol, and a few others.

Doesn’t mean shit, I guess.

Just figured I would share.

Google shows multiple athletes with that name, you selected the wrong one. Ron Love the bodybuilder was 5 ft 9 or 175 cm tall:

In the contest photos of M & F he looked very vanilla (even though he's black). Nothing really stood out.

Parabolan was manufactured very briefly, 4 years or so. Hence it would be a rare drug to find.

I really think insulin is the difference. I know BB from late 70’s and 80’s who used insane amounts back then. One told me that with orals he would literally just grab a handful. He looked back at some cool ass old notebooks that showed 4-5 grams of injectables / week along with “grabbing a handful of oral ( usually Anadrol or Dbol) 2-3 times a day.

thats called a balanced symmetrical physique, a very rare thing indeed and much overlooked by judges who are swayed by big arms , chest, quads.

If a guy walks out onstage and something stands out then really thats a fault with his physique, bit like how women with fake tits too big look dumb.

I agree but evidently the judges didn't.
