I worked/trained out of a very prominent gym back in the late 80's to mid 90's and was surrounded by some of the best bodybuilders of that era. There was a growing base of knowledge around training/drugs/diet that I was privy to just by being around these guys (and ladies) daily. I got to meet/talk to many of the guest posers/pros that were flown in for the various competitions. I became the "fast tan" guy prior to comps with permanently stained hands. When your "shaving & painting" competitors you get a VERY good (almost intimate) first hand view of their conditioning and most were very open about their drug use. Unfortunately during that era there was a ton of rec use. Cocaine was big. Nubain was everywhere. I lost a good friend to that shit!
Yeah...I'm babbling. The knowledge was building back then but yeah, PCT was in it's infancy.
