    One of his biographers described how Schwarzenegger was consuming PEDs "by the fistful" in the 1960s, and generally in far greater quantities than his competitors, simply because he was totally focused on achieving the best possible physique, and wanted every possible advantage.

      It's hard to speculate, but I think that Arnold may have a touch of Marfan syndrome which would have contributed to his surgeries for his aortic aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve much more than any abuse of anabolic steroids. Looking at some of his grade school photos that show a brow line and lower jaw that appear to have a much higher bone density than would be typical for prepubscent males leads me toward that conclusion. Additionally, he appears to have larger hands than average. Obviously, this is not to say that he didn't take more gear than he is letting on, just that his heart issues are probably genetic and not caused by ultra high doses of steroids.

      @@neskec90 back in the 90's Japanese car manufacturers got together and for the sake of road safety made a "gentleman's agreement", according to which they wouldn't make cars that put out more than 276 SAE horsepower or 280 DIN horsepower. The thing is that in reality Japanese car makers violated the agreement right and left. When actual cars would be put onto a dyno - they'd often make 40-50 horsepower more than advertised. USDM and JDM versions of the same engine would often put out radically different numbers (some folks might bring up the JZA80 Supra, but it really isn't a good example, since the USDM cars actually had different turbos, a better fuel pump, among other upgrades, but there is the Nissan Cima that used the same 4.5 liter V8 as the 3rd gen Infiniti Q45, what's curious is that in the former case the engine put out 276 HP, while in the latter it was rated at 340 HP - by the early 2000's Japan's car makers weren't really taking the agreement seriously, at some point they just ditched it altogether).

    Casey Viator did an interview where he flat out said these low dosage claims by the golden era pros are complete BS and that most of them take as much if not more than the bodybuilders of the 90s.
    Like 2-3 grams of deca/primo a week, 50mg dianabol daily and crescormon hgh.
    What got the guys in the 90s huge was improvements in gear quality, insulin and higher calorie diets in the offseason.
    So I don’t buy any of this 100mg primo a week. That’s enough to suppress your hpta and that’s about it.

      Also, you've got your carbons slightly wrong:
      To be orally active, a steroid has to be alkylated at carbon 17 (making the methyl group C-20).
      Natural T itself already has a C-19 methyl group.
      17-Methyltestosterone actually predates metandienone as the first orally active steroid by two decades; problem is that methyl-T had a relatively high affinity for both 5-AR and aromatase (leading to long-lasting active metabolites), so it was nowhere near as well-tolerated as DBol.

    What I find most unbelievable is that he stayed on the same starter dose the whole time. If your doctor prescribed you three d-bol a day and 100 mil of primo at age 20, you are going to start experimenting with different doses by age 21, and most likely you are going to be experimenting in the upward direction. So sure, he can say "I took 3 d-bol a day and 100 mil of primo" and not be lying, but it probably isn't the whole story either.

    Great take Derek! Enjoying these uploads! They all used more than they say they did. Mike Torchia (a former Mr. America) went on record stating that his friend Sergio Oliva, whom he trained with in Chicago back in the 70s, used to take 21 Dianabol tabletts a day, 7 with each meal. And this would have been in addition to Deca Durabolin which Sergio has mentioned as the other steroid he took alongside Dianabol. Now in all fairness to Sergio Oliva, he never detailed exactly what and how much he took, so per default he was never dishonest anyhow, unlike some of the other renowned bodybuilders of the Golden Era. But that goes to show that the top guys back then were using large amounts, or did whatever it took to attain the physiques that they were shooting for. Though relative to today's aspiring Pro and top amateurs their dosages were low/moderate. I think the top guys of the Golden Era like Arnold, Platz, Oliva etc were pushing the limits and were on the higher end of drug usage for their time, whereas the lesser known guys may have been the ones on the "3 Dianabol a day and a shot per week" regimen. Maybe that was what "Mr. Texas/Mr. whatever state" champion was on.

    Arnold was my inspiration and his first book changed the course of my life. I do believe he is downplaying his PED use and for good reason. He knows that there are many people who believe that drugs are the catalyst to being a successful bodybuilder. Those of us who have been training themselves and others for a life time know that genetics not drugs are the deciding factor. Having said that it was well known back in the 70s that Arnold loved Primobolin. It was referred to as the Arnold drug. It was hard to find and super expensive. In some of his early writing Arnold described how focused he was on his goals, beyond the point of obsession. It's easy to believe he would do whatever it took to gain even the slightest edge.

    Just ask yourself, if 1970's Arnold found a drug that he knew made him bigger and stronger and he had unlimited access to it, do you think he'd only consume the smallest doses possible to see results or that he'd do as much as possible to get as big and strong as he possibly could?

    Old school dbol seemed to be a different thing than these days. Some old wrstlers swear thats all they used back in the day.

      That's what I read, dbol often contains significant admixture of Methyltestosterone (precursor for dbol), this one gives all the well known side effects (acne, hairloss in unexpected places) but it also causes more water retention, which dbolers like.
      But normal non-underground labs also do this often, that's the reason for all the rumors about how Dbol earlier was 2x stronger.

    About 20 years I used to train with Kenny who used to work the front desk at Golds in the mid 1970’s. He told me that all the golden era bodybuilders Arnold, Franco, Mike Katz etc.. used to swallow half a bottle of D’bol daily. And Joe Weiders had shoe boxes of PED’s for each guy.

    Arnold had a bicuspid valve. Which, to my knowledge, is congenital and not steroid induced. So, that was probably true- especially because others in his immediate family had the same issue
