Before you all jump on the bandwagon of "oh not another thread about dosages and how much gear people used compared too now", as I understand that shit gets real old, real quick.
My training partner, who has just turned 51 was talking too me the other day about what was going on in temple gym (Birmingham, UK) in the 90's and explaining too me how he used too train with Leeroy Davis, who was Dorian yates training partner at the time he was winning the Olympia's. He was explaining the sort of cycles that they did and the compounds they used (He personally qualified for the Britain finals a few times and won a couple of local shows)
He was explaining that the way that they approached offseason cycles was similar to what we do today, 4-5 amps of sustanon per week, 2-3 amps of deca (50mg amps) per week and the funny thing is they never counted the amount of orals they took, he had 1000 dbol to last a cycle and took anywhere from 5 too 15 tabs per day. PCT was rarely done by anyone, and they only did a few shots of HCG after a cycle if they were on for a long time.
I asked him about Dorian and was he really doing the same dosages as everyone else, he laughed and said "he used too buy up half the gear available in the gym most months, you had too put orders in early too get anything if you were getting ready for a show" A typical offseason cycle was 8-12 amps of test or sustanon per week, 8-10 amps of deca, loads of dbol and as much growth hormone as was available, ranging from 8-14 I.U. a day. He also used all manner of fat burners and stimulants to get ready for competition, lots of ephedrine and clenbuterol, along with all the usual stuff fina, primo and var - all in massive dosages.
It was interesting to hear from him what actually went on, however besides all the dosages and drug cycles he was explaining too me, he also said they prepared like their life completely and totally depended on it, however they only dieted for 6-10 weeks leading up too a show as they stayed leaner year round and went mental with diet, cardio and training for that short time span. Living on stimulants like ephedrine tabs and dan duchaines ultimate orange.
