Old guys: remember anabolic reference guide?

Wasn't he the first one to talk abt DNP actually years before it became mainstream?
Yeah, it was Dan Duchaine's "1996 surprise" that he promised would change bodybuilding forever. He first mentioned it in the August 1996 issue of Muscle Media 2000 with the following teaser:

"I happen to be one of only three or four
people in the country who knows what
the proper dosages are and how to syn-
ergistically combine it with other ther-
mogenic agents like thyroid and beta-
agonists. So why do I feel this will
change bodybuilding forever? DNP is
easily made with common pool-clean-
ing chemicals in your backyard, so it’s
not an illegal drug. A year’s supply costs
less than $20. And when combined
with injectable Humulin R insulin, it’s
staggeringly anabolic and completely
eliminates the problem of getting fat
when using insulin without growth hor-
mone
."​

The good old days when I worked for Dan. I was so excited when I got my first pay check of $200. Shame there were no digital cameras in those days. Pretty sure Bill Philips was the Butt Plug character in Dan's stories who hid his steroid stash in a giant dildo.

Lol he listed his email address on one article, I think it was butplug@aol.com

I tried emailing that but never got a response lol
 
I have a mm 2000 with me right now, Dan states he thinks guys over 40 their trt should be with deca
 
I remember that body 4 life video bill did. There was no fucking way that one guy who was the valet bellman guy was not running a good whack of gear!!
 
Here are are few of the recommended cycles in Anabolic Reference Guide.

You guys care to critique the "Diamond Pattern Cycle", "Inverted Pyramid Pattern Cycle", "3-Week Blitz Cycle" and "6-week mini cycle"?

I remember using an early cycle that was the Diamond Pattern. It was fairly common years back to gradually build up your dosages, then taper them back. It was one of my first early cycles. Had to say it did work overall. That along with the old standby Deca/Dbol cycle.

To note, in the one cycle both TestC and TestE are utilized. Typical of those days.
Today, you would only use one or the other but not both concurrently. There is no special magic with these long term esters.

My first cycle ever was a single vial of testosterone. I'll NVR forget, it was an 8 week pyramid run, starting at .5cc week 1, 1cc week 2, 1.5cc week 3, 2cc wks 4 and 5, back down to 1.5 wk 6, 1cc wk 7, and back to .5cc wk 8.

As god as my witness, I gained just over 20 lbs on that single vial. I trained and ate food as if my life depended on it, because I never thought I would be able to get gear again, and of course my thought process was like everyone else's, "just 1 and done" , yea right, lol. I was handed a piece of paper with chicken scratch writing on it on how to run the cycle. No internet to check on things, and unfortunately no PCT.

Almost exactly 29 years ago, my 3rd cycle was Dianabol/Parabolan. It was 25mg daily Dbol and 152mg/week Parabolan. Ran it for 8 weeks. Was a crazy cycle gained 18 lbs. as per my log. Ate very clean and training was on point. Was one of my best cycles ever. Used Nolvadex PCT. Not perfect but seemed to work. The good old days!

Parabolan, I think this was thought to be a favored anabolic of the late Serge Nubret. I've heard it's the same as tren and I've heard it's slightly different. Did you feel it was similar to tren?

It was Tren hexhexahydrobenzylcarbonate is the ester in this French human grade product. It was discontinued late 90s but UGL still produce it from China raws.
 
I think my Anabolic Ref. Guide came with a spiral binding and like blue construction paper jackets! So outdated even in 2008 if I'm remembering my AAS books correctly. I was let down I remember, not just because it was bound in some guys moderation shes, but outdated info that was honesty under explained! Fuck that book!
