THE HISTORY OF STEROIDS IN BODYBUILDING WITH JERRY BRAINUM!

[@richardyoung1890]

Bob Hofmann attributed all the records the lifters accomplished to his Isometric rack when in fact they were using D Bol! He sold a lot of those racks and an older lifter said I’m killing myself on this rack and it’s not helping!One of the lifters told Louis Rieke the older lifter about Ziegler and he started breaking records!Great interview once again by you and Jerry both of you have so much knowledge the dynamic duo!

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Fantastic episode with some real golden trivia gems, some of which I was unaware of . Jerry is the man 👏

[@nomad6086]

Great presentation Carlos - when you & Jerry get together it's the best! On methyltestosterone - it thought it was the oral form of testosterone and not an anabolic steroid per se? It was developed in 1935 along with first synthetic testosterone. It's hepatotoxicity is very high which is the reason why I believe oral forms of testosterone can not be used in a medical setting.

[@dorianjackson6130]

I commented on this channel years ago that guys in Reeves times were not natural. Reeves was not natural. The comment was criticized, dismissed, and attacked. Larry Scott himself admitted this, he got it from Grimmick and gave it to Reeves.

[@Magneticlaw]

After Reeves' movie career was in full swing, says your timeline, with his competitive days behind him. Try again, sir.

[@christianbolt5761]

I remember taking methyltest in the 80s. Can’t say I was impressed. Also remember back in the 80s doctors and the media would always say steroids don’t enhance athletic ability. In the PDR back then it also had the same statement

[@GrahamCStrouse]

And they were wrong. Soviet-era steroids were extremely potent. Vintage gear was boosted anaerobic capabilities tremendously. It was also a lot more dangerous than modern designer drugs and much harder to hide from testers once the Olympics started getting semi-serious about testing after the Ben Johnson scandal in the ‘88 Olympics. Fun fact: Female athletes who take steroids and basic testosterone gain a much bigger advantage over their competitors than male athletes. The male body has a feedback system that (somewhat) limits the benefits of artificial male hormones. Women don’t. Nearly every women’s track & field record in the sprints, jumps & throws was set prior to the 1989, the year when the IOC finally started making an effort to catch steroid users. The only exceptions are the 100m & 400m hurdles, the triple jump, pole vault & high jump. Out of those 5 events, one (the 400 hurdles) wasn’t regularly competed by women prior to the 1984 Olympics & the pole vault and triple jump weren’t added to elite women’s competition until the ‘90s. The 100m hurdles record held for quite some time but has been lowered a few times in the 21st century. The women’s high jump record was just broken a few weeks ago by a Ukrainian high jumper who beat Stefka Kostandinova’s 1987 WR on 2.09 m a single centimeter. Gear does its job.

I have gotten into bodybuilding over the past year, and use this channel to learn about the history and also use Mike mentzers training ideologies. They have put tremendous size on me quickly coupled with the juice! Thank you for all of your research!

@@luckym1580 what I’ve learned from this channel, from supplementation to training plans, it really doesn’t take much. It’s the training and eating that make a tremendous difference. There’s people in my gym on gear and you can’t even tell they work out because there training sucks. But to answer your question trt and primo.

[@mdguitar00]

@@thejuiceisloose3785 are you following one of Mike’s routines, or just the ideology?

[@thejuiceisloose3785]

@@mdguitar00 the ideology, I listened to one of his seminars and it just clicked. He said building muscle is a defense mechanism of the body, and in order for it to build muscle it has to think it’s to weak and by constantly increasing the load on the body in defense of itself it will build muscle. That’s not exact but it’s basically what he said in a nutshell. The old school was so far ahead of its time and many of the things they used have been forgotten. So this is definitely a valuable channel.

I trained natural for 14 years and compete at 176 lbs and when I was 27 I try D-bol 15 mg a day and I compete at 181 but much ripper and I never used injection or any other steroids, I built an huge chest when I was natural by bench press everyday and biceps too

Why a Dbol only cycle? Why not use injectables?

[@zeusedwards9311]

I never felt comfortable to take an injection not even COVID-19 I take lol , and I never wanted to take a lot of steroids and so I would take 3mg of D-bol 5 time a day one with every meal, each tablet was 3mg and I would take weekend off nothing on Saturday and Sunday and I will start on Monday again and it works for me well

Norethandrolone was perfected in 1953 and sold as Nilevar in 1956. Beat Dianabol by a couple of years. Bill Pearl gained huge amounts of size and strength within weeks of starting Nilevar as he openly mentions in his first book. Jerry doesn't seem to know this and thinks it was CIBA working with Ziegler that resulted in the first steroid used by bodybuilders.

[@albardo08]

I am aware of Nilevar and Bill Pearl's use of it. It was provided to him by a veterinarian and hadn't been used by humans. But the context of the interview was Zeigler's introduction of Dianabol to York Lifters, and Dianabol was indeed the first widely used oral steroid by athletes and bodybuilders. Pearl always denied that Nilevar did much for him since he used minimal doses and Nilevar isn't that potent to begin with. But photos of him taken in 1959 and then in 1961 show a vastly different physique. I did mention in the video that the first oral anabolic steroid was methyltestosterone, developed in 1934.

[@dansmith9724]

I have a mate who was using vet norethandrolone tabs, 20 plus years ago and said it was strongest stuff he'd used. I can't think of the vet name but it also contained vitamins etc.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

No, he does know about it. Point he is trying to make is that up until the mid to late 50s, no one used steroids. We have and will discuss Bill Pearl in another video

[@squirrellsquats8428]

@@albardo08 If I remember rightly Nilevar causes more water retention than Dianabol, which can definitely be seen in images of Bill Pearl in the late fifties and early sixties.

It would take only one depressed bodybuilder to discover the muscle building properties of testosteron.. So not through scientific papers but through experience. I think that would make it plausible that bodybuilders from the fourties and possibly the mid to late thirties already used.

There is a big difference between Alpha destiny and Reg Park. John Miller probably the best natural bodybuilder of our time does not even come close to Reg Park apart from being more defined. Reg Park's son did not come close to matching the size of his father. If Reg Park was natural maybe Mike Ohearn is too, although everyone thinks he is not.

Well, I agree that Steve Reeves didn't use drugs. However, your argument that every naturally strong man would be to proud to use a drug that is created to help weaker men, doesn't hold water. It is known that some young male pornstars take ridiculous amounts of Viagra although they don't have any of the issues associted with usage of Viagra.
