Old timer stacks

[sawadeekrob]

Rick,

In some of your previous posts you mentioned that in the old days most bb used lower dosages of steroids than in more recent years.

If I recall correctly you stated that 1 or 2 dianabols a day for 2 weeks was enought to see "verifiable" effects.

My question is:

What about other drugs like Primobolan, Anavar and Testosterone? what sort of protocol was used back then?

Also was testosterone used in those years by people like Arnold and co.?


Thank you for taking the time to read my inquiry

Yes I did, but I assumed that this was a sample of his experience after being in cali. I didn' think he was doing something like this in Graz.

So then why do we still pyramid up and down?

[sawadeekrob]

I think the idea of pyramiding up was bc the old timers wanted to assess tolerance vs effects. Nowadays we have minimum standars from the pool of people that have done steroids.

The tapering down I believe has been proven to be benefitial or at least the practice to switching to shorter ester compounds to start pct earlier.

However from this two ideas came to my mind.

1. What were the dosages back then?

2. Why the OT did not do PCT? Didn't they crashed (loss a lot of muslce) when coming off?

3. Did they really come off or they bridged with Dianabol / Anavar on workout days like rumors say?
