When Did Bodybuilders Start Using Steroids?



1,600,959 views  Mar 11, 2023

A deep dive into the early history, discovery and use of steroids.
Specifically we attempt to figure out whether Silver Era bodybuilders were still natural.
Steve Reeves, John Grimek, George Eiferman, Clancy Ross, Reg Park, Alan Stephan,
Jack Dellinger, John Farbotnik, Roy Hilligen and
others were all phenomenal bodybuilders from the 1940s and early 1950s.
Is it possible that they used something?
Was testosterone available to them?

The people using steroids are crazy.

One example:
So many professional wrestlers died from them.

The gym junkies at the CQU gym did not look like steroid users at all. And why would they use steroids? Natural body building is so much healthier. My friend's husband looks like he is a constant user of steroids, for his competition. But, I think even the gym junkies at the university could give that guy a run for his money.

Even the women in bodybuilding are taking steroids by the bucket load.

I knew a runner who used hard work, diets and dedication to achieve her athletic body. She loved to show off her athletic legs. What she achieved is not the result of using drugs or performance enhancers.

I had to look up the name to see to whom you were referring. Then it became obvious that you had posted his picture up without using his name. Very few guys know the name of many male bodybuilders. Why you would know the name Phil Heath and act like other people would know his name, it comes down to speculation.

I have no desire to look as muscular as Heath. If I get to a point where I am as physically fit as a triathlete, that would do me okay. But, given my advancing age, I would settle for being physically healthy.

OK - I added his name.
he was a world body building champion for a long time.

I think he looks ridiculous and I bet he won't live to a normal age.

So... why would you think I would want to look like Phil Heath if he looks so ridiculous? I would expect to feel capable of achieving a physically strong body right into my 60s. But, then I would expect to tone down to physically healthy after my 60 ends.

I was stirring.
I imagined myself as a body builder in one of those gyms talking to
another body builder in a conversation where they admired Phil Heath.

He probably won't. Professional bodybuilders like him tend to die at younger ages than the general population because of the PEDs they take.

Pretty much. Body builders are extreme users of steroids. They take too many and for too long and there's not much they do that could be considered healthy.

Some of them spend over $1,000 per week on steroids and other drugs.

For the likes of Phil Heath, it's an investment. He makes millions from his sponsors and endorsements. But he's sacrificing his health and longevity for the money.

For others, it's a waste of money, health(physical and mental) and longevity for a brief period of looking like the hulk.

Notice how the overuse of steroids has atrophied
Heath's penis and his testicles.    I'd be guessing
they'd now be the size of a 6-year-old boy's.

   (I suppose we'd need to ask a couple of the
   homosexuals here if that's true?   Uh... not
   about little boys, but about Heath, he added
   hastily!)

He'll have to stop those steroids sooner rather than later.
I wonder what he'll look like in 10 years or
even if he will still be alive after all the damage he's done to himself?

I knew of a bodybuilder who was into the steroids. He managed to atrophy his penis that he was not giving his girlfriend much pleasure.

Outside of some national survey, I doubt that they'd mostly like segmented hulks in that photo. Although, some would. But maybe they should be wary of what they wish for. For example, the roid rage that would get directed toward them.

Some have been savagely assaulted and some have died.

Did Arnie's bodybuilding cripple his heart?


Questions swarm over former Mr World's steroid use after scare during his SECOND valve replacement

    The 70-year-old actor-turned-politician (and cigar lover) has openly discussed his steroid use

Back in the early 1990s, our science teacher told us that Arnie (notgonnaspellhislastname) had been on testosterone and testosterone and dianabol. Arn would have risked:

damage to the gonads (testicles or ovaries)
liver disease
malfunctions of the kidneys, liver or heart
'roid rage', which is characterised by uncontrollable outbursts of psychotic aggression
paranoia and mood swings, including deep depression
severe acne, which can cause scarring
high blood cholesterol levels
high blood pressure (hypertension)
injuries to tendons that can't keep up with the increased muscle strength
delusional feelings of being superhuman or invincible.
trembling and muscle tremors.
nerve damage from needle use – this may lead to conditions such as sciatica

My science teacher told us that Arnie would have had to get heart surgery to survive pass the age of 60.

Did anyone mention the proposed "Enhanced Games -- sports without drug testing"? It is an alternative to the Olympics, where athletes can use performance enhancers.

In life nearly always the easy way is also the incorrect way

Can you get big muscles by injecting steroids
Sure it's easy
Can you get big muscles by lifting heavy weights
Sure it's hard

Can you get money by doing some boring work as a clerk in the public service
Sure it's easy
Can you apply yourself take risks face challenges have sleepless nights and build a business
Sure it's hard

Can you go down to Centrelink and get money because you are a little victim
Sure it's easy
Can you step up and take personal responsibility and not complain about adversity
Sure it's hard

Can you gratify yourself and your appetites with pawn and fast food
Sure it's easy
Can you build a great relationship and create a nutritious meal
Sure it's hard


The superior man looks at every situation
Sees the unthinking masses following the path of least resistance
And then gets onto the narrow road to success
That's why it's narrow
Not much traffic

What most people get wrong about roid using bodybuilders is they are taking the easy way out. No doubt some want to get big with less work, but most take roids because it allows them to actually work harder. It also allows them to get to a  muscle mass that would otherwise unobtainable.

Bodybuilders, natty or not have an incredible work ethic and discipline.

Of course I totally disagree with their goals because most extreme bodybuilders, natty or not are generally not healthy.

Plus, there is the opportunity cost of spending so much time to get so big.

I've dated a few female body builders.
I'm not much in the extreme types where they look grotesquely over-cooked.
But women who work for tone and have that athletic look are super hot.
I've seen women who do just basic workouts out-muscle ordinary guys who can't be bothered but to slag these women off.
Plus, these women have a strong libido.  Wink
I love a woman who knows how to chop wood, as they say.

That's an illusion. Sure, there are 'Dykes' with muscles because they're the women who have grown up thinking that working the body into shape is a 'man's thing' and thus their hormones work that way.
But women with great athletic builds can still feel very much 'feminine' and sexy and they look (and feel) great! They work towards putting their bodies into the 'female shape' from such physical activity.
You're missing a lot in women, if you think that Bodybuilding  only makes 'males'.
How many 'male' Bodybuilders are Poofs? You know - gotta be a 'woman' if you want to look beautiful to behold.

Read a Sci-Fi long ago that showed Humanity 'evolving' biologically via the influence of Performance Enhancers (like 'Spice' in F.Herbert's Dune series).
By the 3rd generation of these Roid, etc users breeding the effects into their offspring, the chemicals lose their 'detrimental' effect of negative side-effects and the human body incorporates it as an evolutionary adaption.
Humans being able to naturally 'hibernate' due to anti-freeze in bloodstream, deal with Zero-Gravity longer, live underwater and many other now attainable variants in 'specialised' evolutionary adaptions.
Enhanced hearing, seeing like a Mantis Shrimp in many levels, etc.
...all from Performance Enhancers used through the generations specifically breeding for that specific 'performance' to be enhanced.


I have no doubt that one day, maybe Australia (the most 'virulent' country in the world) even? Will just pump out the 'freedom' to Biologically do what they like! Just look at the USA with its 'test-dummy' children being subjected to hormonal sex-change manipulations by 'Science'.

Science: Just because it can. Does it mean it should?

Evolution adapts to the 'environment' and if the environment of humans is the intake of performance enhancing 'chemicals', then the body must adapt and will adapt with each knew generation made under the influence of it in the human body.

These chemicals tend to have as many or more adverse results as positive. When evolution does not work it leads to extinction.

Given that in this case one of the side effects is on reproductive systems this is the more probable outcome were anyone ever stupid enough to try it.

Blessing Okagbare drops her hair in the Women's Long jump -

IAAF Diamond League Oslo 2017






https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessing_Okagbare

Following a hearing at the Athletics Integrity Unit that found her to have taken both human growth hormone and EPO over an extended period, and to have failed to cooperate with the investigation, Okagbare was banned for ten years, effectively ending her athletics career in disgrace.[5] On 23 June 2022, the AIU announced that Okagbare's ban had been extended by a year for further anti-doping offences.

Steroids have their place in medical & veterinary applications.

Not in sport as an enhancer.

As has been demonstrated over the years when used by competitive humans it gets abused and causes more harm than good.

The poll question needs to be more specific.

Even too many oranges can kill you.
Too much of a good thing, can be bad for you.

Don't know if its true?
But it was common knowledge in the Sydney Hospital scene that a Junkie on ICE got ballistically violent and some male Nurse bloke just jabbed himself with a shot of Adrenalin and basically pulverised the violent junkie into submission and restraint.  Grin

It was only the other day that I was on my way out of the shopping centre, when I saw some person I had not seen in about 25 years. Twenty-five years ago, I had a free month's membership to the CQ University gym. Taking a break at the gym, I watched some 40y.o. guy use the bench press. He was going to do reps on something like 100kg+. His arms were massive. And it was obvious that he did not miss leg day. But, using a spotter, he did about 20 repetitions on what looked to be about 100kg worth of weight.

The other day, he walked in to the shopping centre and he still had those bulky arms. Except, it looked like he only did the occasional work out. His arms looked somewhat flabby muscular. I get the feeling he was on steroids back in his day. But he is no longer using enhancements, and his body has reverted back to how he would look doing bodybuilding drug free.

I eat about 2 oranges per night nearly every night. It is not bad for you. But, if you eat a lot of oranges, you can end up with diarrhoea and other nausea. I sit in bed watching tv series on my bedroom television. Normally, I would eat 2 oranges and something else. Then I would have a bowl of cereal. Afterwards, I would have about 4 boiled eggs. I would wash the eggs down with a large glass mug of juice with chia seeds. You could imagine that by the next morning, I do not need coffee to get me going.
