About the Governator and Recent Workouts

For once, a thread about Ah-nold and it’s not about politics!

I assume Arnold used steroids during his bodybuilding days. I’ve seen pictgures od him on tabloids…during the “Look! The Stars are Just Like Us!” segmets and he’s lost a lot f his definition, though he’s still pretty big. I assume his time schedule is not condusive to keeping up a world class physique as well. Is he still on steroids?

I’d say no- Story
The pic

I would doubt very much that he has been for the last several decades, but I don’t know that that is something you would ever be able to find out for sure without doing some drug tests or him coming out with a confession.

And I don’t think that saying “he’s not shrunk much” is very much proof that he must be using artificial means to stay big. He doesn’t need to build muscle mass, he just needs to maintain it. An hour of jogging and another hour of weight lifting might be enough. If the man doesn’t have two hours free between working and sleeping, I doubt he could even do his job.

I think I remember reading that early steroid-using bodybuilders used smaller doses or shorter doses, and I think AS qualifies as such. He still has a deep voice, so I’m assuming he hasn’t suffered testicular atrophy as heavy steroid users can expect to.

There’s no reason to think that having shrunken balls would cause your vocal cords to shrink as well.

Old school bodybuilders used far fewer and less drugs than modern bodybuilders, but still a fair amount. Rumor has it that Arnold used quite a bit more than he lets on.

So your balls shrink and that doesn’t affect secondary sex attributes?

I suppose that it’s the recent penchant for overdoing it that makes old-school bodybuilders look restrained and cautious. I should have figured as much.

Should be. Women who take steroids often end up with deep voices (and other masculine features), and as far as we know those effects are irreversible.

Not if the ball-shrinking happens after the man’s vice has already changed. The castrati were cut before their voices changed so that you would have a singer with a high soprano voice and the power of an adult male. If you cut/chemically atrophy after voice change, all you’ll have is a garden variety eunuch with the same voice he always had.
