Ron's Training - part two:
Six weeks or so before a contest Ron trained on a diet that might appear Spartan to the non-bodybuilder. Then, his breakfast consisted of a milk and egg protein powder mixed with water, four eggs, a cup of iced tea, and vitamin pills. Following his morning workout he ate seven ounces of tuna with lettuce, took some more vitamins, all washed down with more iced tea. After his evening workout, which included stationary bike riding for one hour, he ate five or six pieces of chicken with another salad (no dressing) and a protein drink. Two weeks before the contest he ate a salad every other day with the meals earlier mentioned. He did his best to consume as little water as possible, and cut down on his dozen eggs a day, maybe to about five. He never drank milk. He was very careful not to become “waterlogged", a condition that serves the appearance of a sponge even when the physique contestant is muscularly defined. Ron Teufel openly admitted that he used anabolic steroids when preparing for contests. The drugs were legal at the time. He said that he found Winstrol and Anivar were best suited to his needs, while Dianabol tended to retain too much water in his system, thereby creating the waterlogged condition previously mentioned. He reported that his back also suffered when he used Dianabol, something that Ron attributes to overworked kidneys and water retention. He was always, however, quick to warn that anabolic steroids were not miracle workers even though they had proved beneficial to him during his early competitive years. “I think they can boost a champion’s training,” he said. “But beginners, even experienced bodybuilders, are best advised to refrain from using steroids. The champions use them knowing full well that there are attendant side effects. Every job has its risks. Champion bodybuilders look upon anabolics as just such a work-related risk. The rewards of bodybuilding, so they have decided for themselves, are well worth the risks involved in drug usage. Other amateur bodybuilders do not have to expose themselves to such risk merely to gain a few pounds of muscular bodyweight." He emphasized the fact that the more intelligent champions took steroids only under medical supervision and for no more than three months at a time. “These drugs are not to be mistaken for vitamins,” said Teufel.
