thanks silver for the very intersting article
Hahaha...no offense, but I'm guessing you're new to lifting weights and starting to read BB mags? Yes, he was on juice, and no, I'm not just saying that to slander him. Guys have been juicing since the 50s and as previosuly mentioned, they were not controlled in the 70s and 80s like they are now.
He admitted it. But he used a very insignifigant amount (in comparisson to today). If he was really jacked his legs would have grown well past puberty 
(if you are a bodybuilding historian you would clearly know that arnold lacked one thing. Legs...no matter how hard he worked they always looked out of proportion with his overly massive chest )
JeffD...funny thing is about that statement. 5 years ago when I was more involved in the scene the usage was probably more rampant than it was then. Arnold even gave his usage which I currently forget and it was very very small dosages in comparison to the COCKTAILS they used 5 years ago. Usage now not only includes traditional testosterone in higher dosages but growth hormone and many other things not legally available. Unless everything has change completely in 5 years the bodybuilding scene only seems more controlled. There are laws but they don't work worth crap (This of course excludes the natural competition where very little steroid's are used)

Ah, trips down anabolic memory lane...hopefully DH/FR won't ever get all messed up like BB and some other sports. For all I know, XC is just as doped as the roadies.

That part is scarey. In the end past conditioning, and good life...how do you become better. It is unfortunate but a reality in sports
It 'would' be very naive on the behalf of the organizors if they believe racers won't be doping now or start doping later. Especially with injuries occuring as frequently as they do and the healing/recovery factor of anabolic steroids.It is Ironic that Arnold is 100 pounds lighter in his prime than some of the competitors today
...And Frank columbo wouldn't have stood a chance in todays market...Its amazing how quickly the size game evolved. 
Pros today are frickin' MASSIVE. Most of them juice.Originally posted by Roasted

Most? Try all, if they want to be competitive.
paul dillet is one scary mofo!!!!
And getting scarier by the minute...There was a guy out of mississauga several years ago who actually dwarfed dillet. Dillet was a mere 285 and this guy walked on stage at 330 I think. I just can't remember his name. Damn freaks
what scary is alot of those guys are really unstable and agressive..theres a dude in my gym thats like that and i think his about to pop and ill be at the receiving end of a 150lbs dumbell!!
its incredible how much the human body can be pushed(with drugs)!!

Jesus...he's put on 30 pounds of solid muscle since the last time I watched BB. Crazy sport...I would call them freaks but they like that too much
I do have a lot of respect for the dedication required with or without steroids. I have the been there tried that attitude and the 5 to 7 years of solid training required to become a true competitor is unreal. It really is unlike any other sport that I have played.
Dillett was eating in a restaurant around the corner from me a few years ago when the Mr. O was still in Atlanta. True to the magazine cheap shots, he was constantly out of breath. As bikers we take for granted being able to hop on a bike at any time and go for a ride but I doubt he'd have managed to make it past the end of the driveway the way he was heaving and sweating. And FYI - he was not competing that year so he wasn't depleted or anything...
Thats kind of grose...he must have been freaky huge because he wasn't depleted. Ouch!!
All of them juice and the IFBB allows it, the only thing illegal is a diuretic such as Lysic(sp?). Ask Mr. Dillet how he feels about that drug. I believe it was at the '92 Olympia where his body cramped so badl into the fetal position that it almost killed him. It took 6(?) people to carry his incapacitated body off the stage.
Or he holds it for too long and passes out...didn't the same thing happen to flex early in his career...I remember him dropping out of comp because of depletion...
saying that juice freaks are somehow lazy is incorrect. Juicing only means you have to work harder in the gym and more closely monitor your diet. The freaks are definitely NOT lazy in the gym and have to work damn hard for those gains.
