Arnold's Cycle

[Jugghead]

In the latest issue of MD, they list the following cycle as one Arnold actually used during his competitive years:

Arnold Schwarzenegger steroids cycle:

Primobolan Enanthate (Injectable) Dianabol (Dbol) (oral) DecaDurabolin


(Injectable)
Week 1 600mg / week 60mg / day
Week 2 600mg / week 60mg / day
Week 3 600mg / week 60mg / day
Week 4 600mg / week 60mg / day
Week 5 600mg / week 60mg / day
Week 6 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 7 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 8 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 9 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 10 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 11 1000mg / week 100mg / day
Week 12 1000mg / week 100mg / day
Week 13 1000mg / week 100mg / day
Week 14 1000mg / week 100mg / day
Week 15 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 16 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 17 800mg / week 80mg / day
Week 18 600mg / week 60mg / day
Week 19 600mg / week 60mg / day
Week 20 600mg / week 60mg / day
BRIDGE
Week 21 Dbol 30mg / day 200mg Deca / week
Week 22 Dbol 30mg / day 200mg Deca/ week
Week 23 Dbol 30mg / day 200mg Deca/ week
Week 24 Dbol 30mg / day 200mg Deca/ week
Week 25 Dbol 30mg / day 200mg Deca/ week
Week 26 Dbol 30mg / day 200mg Deca/ week
START CYCLE (1-20) AGAIN

Can this possibly be a real cycle Arnold or anyone during the '70s actually did? The dosages of Primo & Dbol are crazy? 1,000mg Primo a week?! Up to100mg dbol a day for 6 months straight?! And no anti-e's!!! How is it possible???:banghead:

don't think it's his cycle... not at all...

but doing orals at high doses for 6 months isn't unheard of... i know a lot of people who do it...

my theory would be that they really didn't know what the hell steroids were and they only knew that "this makes me big, this makes me cut"... swallow whatever you can and inject whatever you can.

 

[juiced13]

I say it could be true except the dbol bc they never knew how many they took hell they took a handfull every few mins. lol

But the cycle is prob close no doubt in that.

 

[Kaladryn]

not a chance that is real

 

[kingpeon]

Arnold had a doctor tailoring his cycles for him according to an interview I read in Flex back in the day. Rumor had it that other pros at the time thought Arnold was taking some rare and exotic steroid from Europe that was responsible for his 'winning edge' when in reality he was taking Primo.

 

[Dezzy]

I think this is pretty feasible and accurate. I also read that he liked suspension and anavar sometimes. But I think dianabol and primo was his bread and butter.

 

[MR. BMJ]

I know for a fact that he used test/deca/dbol....a lot!

BMJ

 

[Tom]

only arnold knows and he wouldn't very likely pass that information on to a magazine.

 

[strongrhino]

Agree and not true

only arnold knows and he wouldn't very likely pass that information on to a magazine.

 

[D BO]

I dont think this was his cycle at all but I do believe he lived on Primo though

 

[napaulm]

are you suggestin arnold wasnt natural?
i thought roids werent around til recently, with all the know-it-all little kids on these forums being experts and such.
was test not used as much back in the day?

 

[comedycentral]

napaulm are you being serious???

dbol was from ciba in the 60's and from memory test was developed during the 2nd (?) world war to make soldiers stronger and help with injuries i think.

who cares what arnie was on. legend and very strong

 

[red5150]

on a side note on the well know supposed dorian yates cycle I do belive is feasibly correct it.

HA! You think its feasible to inject 1500 mg of suspension day and 4 bottles of prop a week, lets not even get into 400 mg halo a day or are you talking the more realistic one that only used 20-30 compounds a week in the 1-2 gram range?

 

[brisk walk]

After about 1973, Arnie only used the sauce when he was prepping for a contest. We all know he preferred to grow into a show......as did Frank Zane and Franco. I am sure his cycle was doctor supervised and he was clean in the off season. Just my opinion though.

 

[Goody]

I would believe that one...
Do you think he might have been one of the first to site inject? I mean his bicep peaks are just crazy...the guys today can hardly touch that even with all the SEO and everything else these days...

1.5 gr susp a day would make me walk funny. Even if i pinned all 15ml in my delts I think the pain would cause me to walk funny.

 

[MightyJohn]

Somebody post this "supposed" Dorian cycle for entertainment purposes

 

[btech]

arnold in my opinion is a bodybuilder second in life and a ruthless driven buisness man first that is welling to do anything to succed. Unless he belived that somewhat low does cycle to be the most effective for what ever reason he would never run that as his bread and butter. A person like arnold would never decide to play it safe when there success depended on it.

Whether or not that cycle is correct, Korupt's post to me sounds RIGHT ON.

 

[biglizard225]

I could definately see him running that much. Arnold had a very clean healthy look as did all of the top bbers back then so whatever the hell he did. Props to him HA

 

[h8tr3d]

seems kinda mild compared to what people use nowadays. And what people "actually use", and what they tell other people they use, are two totally different things
