i was wondering if anyone actually knows what the top tier bodybuilders are pinning these days like what does a real cycle look like for the guys in open versus the classic physique dudes. i keep hearing crazy stories about massive doses but im curious what the standard protocol is for those different classes. is there like a specific stack most of them follow or is it just whatever they can get there hands on? honestly just curious how much gear it really takes to get that huge or if its mostly just insane genetics and food.
Honestly, the doses are usually way higher than people think. Open guys are easily running 2-3 grams of gear total per week, plus GH and insulin. It’s not just "insane genetics," though you definitely need those too just to survive the sheer amount of stuff they're pinning lol.
Classic physique protocol is usually a bit "cleaner" to keep the waist tight. Lots of Primo and Mast instead of just blasting huge amounts of Deca or Dbol like the open guys do. They're still using plenty, but the goal is more about that 3D look and separation rather than just being a literal human house.
Don't let the "it's just hard work and chicken" crowd fool you haha. These guys are on a cocktail. But for real, the biggest difference between open and classic is the height-to-weight ratio limits in classic—it forces them to be more strategic with their cycles so they don't blow past their weight cap.
It’s a mix of everything man. You can take all the gear in the world and if your genetics don't respond well, you’ll just end up bloated and sick. The top pros are the 1% of the 1% who can handle massive doses and still look like superheroes instead of bags of milk.
