I also think the gear was better back then and didn't require as much...well as much as some think they need. I've done a couple cycles up to 5g/week. (an experiment with multiple compounds and not something I'll ever do again). Didn't do any more for me than keeping it under 1,000 mg, except eat up cash.My first show I had a bottle of Brovel Test, some Anapolons from South America and a bottle of Ganabol....A few Halos and some lasixs the week of the show. That was all everyone was on back then. And we didnt just do one show like the kids are doing today, did no less than 3 shows Spring-Fall.
Turning Pro today is so much easier with more opportunities, back in the day u either won the North American or had to win your weight class at Nationals. Now it seems every other show has an opportunity to earn a Pro Card. I stopped being a NPC judge when they changed the format to include guys in board shorts and all the other retarded divisions. I get why they did it but it just watered down the sport IMO.
The older guys at alot of the shows freely disclose what and how much they took to the younger competitors, yet they dont want to believe someone can get on stage with so little gear....I just laugh even though its pretty sad what they believe is true and the potential harm to their bodies.
I completely agree with this. The gear (No matter the source) is just not the same anymore. I remember when the Iranian amps were going around here. 2 of those per week and a few pink 5s and everyone around me was gaining 25-30 pounds and dropping bodyfat. I went to disney back in like 2008 or 9 and had been on that cycle for just over 6 weeks and people were asking if I was a pro wrestler...lol (I had a certain look then). The gear even then was amazing. These days I can't even find real orals and the test seems to be 1/4 of what it was then.I also think the gear was better back then and didn't require as much...well as much as some think they need.

Between the morons that think they can take something and grow without training & proper nutrition and the ones that think they need an entire pharmacy to get huge I just shake my head. Less is best.
Gear did seem stronger back then. Then again we were younger and probably more fit than today's youth. We were out playing sports in the yard from age 5 and pretty much all the sports through highschool and eyond. Point is today the kids are so much more guarded for their "safety". I just think, on average, they just aren't the same as the youth of our era. I'm sure my father and grandfather said the same, but hay, they had testosterone levels probably a lot higher back then before we were eating and breathing plastic and pesticides in everything.I also think the gear was better back then and didn't require as much...well as much as some think they need.
