I am not going to give any specific names, but I personally know an individual that placed top 10 in a Mr.Olympia during the 90's. Yes, it was the 90's so the physiques were much smaller/less conditioned/etc. Regardless, this guy was definetly bigger than Boston Lloyd (lol).
I'll tell you right now, that this specific individual NEVER went over 2.5grams of gear, and that was the absolute maximum he used.
He used ZERO tren either; a mix of test/an anabolic/GH, and SOMETIMEs an oral(rarely) and sometimes he took out EVERYTHING except test/gh. This guy was very open,honest,and had no reason to lie.
The kind of steroid abuse people like Boston do just kind of puzzles me. Yeah he won the show, yeah he looks amazing, yeah he's a freak and doing great. But the fact that people used 1/5th if not less than him and looked bigger/better and were at a way higher level professionally should say something.
I am not trying to be disrespectful in this post or to put anyone down. In fact I have acknowledged the guy looks incredible, and I am still astonished how good he looks for his age. What I am trying to delineate and hopefully people will understand is that this kind of gear abuse is why people kind of look down on the industry. It's also not very good to say "Yeah I just ran a 13 gram cycle" to the public because then kids all around the world will think to themselves, oh ok then if I take 5-6 grams that's nothing and I should be fine! Idk...
Anyways, still a cool guy and he looks great. Honestly I just don't see the point of that much use for the size he's at though, idk?
