Dr. Robert Kirr is the doctor who he was referring to @ 6:15 Who had an office in San Gabrial, CA. He wrote a book where he shared much his protocols for prescribing steroids to his 'patients', Including the variety of anabolics he would prescribe, and for what purpose. The dosages, and the blood monitoring and etc. It was a book where he laid out the facts of his practice and his experience with these drugs. I believe I still have this book stashed away somewhere. Was Silvester Stalone one of his patents. I can say positively YES. Because Dr. Kirr told me this directly.
Dr Kerr and his book was called the practical use of anabolic steroids.
I love Jerry's stories. He's like a cool uncle.
LOL, he is
Man, this interviews are addictive! Such great guy Jerry is.
Thank you, more stories to come! Golden era story time
Carlos you’ve struck gold again!
Carlos if you ever plan on getting all these interviews and stories into a book, I’d buy it
LOL, thanks, I dont have time to write a book. If I did, it would be closer to an encyclopedia!
Carlos' Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding - Golden -Era Edition
LMAO imagine bringing your kid to the pediatrician and waiting with Nick Walker and Big Ramy 😭.
Yep, that was my thought!!
Carlos once again smashing it out of the park with another great video exposing the "real" truths of bodybuilding. Bravo dude. Loved it
You're welcome
Primo Depot, Shering. So amazing.
they supplied them with "Joe Weiders Anabolic Megga Packs" they had to ,without them Joe Weiders Muscle & Fitness magazine would not have existed ,the bodybuilders would have been skinny ..so prescriptions for "Joe Weiders Anabolic megga packs" were been handed out like T bone steaks to starving children ..it got them BIG ..and made joe weider a very rich man
Love any topic Jerry discusses because I know it's true and real information. Ur very lucky to get this candid an interview.
Lol can you see yourself looking down the row in the waiting room and seeing small children in small seats then a 250 pound 6 foot four Arnold sitting on one of the tiny chairs waiting. I wonder if he got a lollipop too.
Excellent video and great 70s photos! The IOC made steroids illegal in 1975.
Absolutely, just about the time Arnold retired
I used to lift in a dungeon type of gym back in the early 80s. There were syringes sticking in the ceiling of the locker room where users would throw them like daggers! Regardless, it was all business with lifting in that dungeon and I loved it.
thanks for such gem Carlos,i love hearding Jerry's stories. do you know if he has ever wrote a book about his life/past stories?
He has written a book...www.appliedmetabolics.com
Man that’s so crazy, I like the little details that your interviews have, just like rics corner before he passed, keep the videos coming man!
Man…love this channel. Still getting through all your videos!
fascinating interview! Really enjoy these specific topics you do. Keep it up!
Phenomenal research here !
Truly hope you can reach out to any one of these living doctors, before it's too late. Would be Keen to gather any info that has never been published or mentioned online / magazines.
I hope so too! Unfortunately Dr Mike Walczak passed away.
@@GoldenEraBookworm yeah unfortunately we won't get this one...
You are sharing GOLD information. May your channel grow from strength to strength
Awesome video, I can tell you from personal knowledge these stories are true. I was there, in fact I lived with Dr Walter Jekot for a time when I first arrived in California. Jerry's got all the stories, I love it he brings back fun memories. It was a different time back then.
Jekot helped us greatly in the treatment of HIV patients! His help was extraordinarily helpful - I can't imagine not having his assistance at the time.
Sadly, the bureaucrats are opposed to any empowerment, (physical, psychological, educational, or economic). Thus, he was martyred and forced to serve five years in prison. I wish I could thank him personally for all he did all of us treating physicians in the day.
Menzter definitely didn't listen to the advice, and he was a speed monster apparently, RIP Menzter Bros
Indeed, he was using everything. It is a shame
Heard Serge did too.
He also smoked like a chimney
@@luthiervandros and didn't believe in cardio.
If they don't totally deny they used drugs they always downplay the role they played in their development.why?.because it's embarrassing.
Rip bill pearl ❤
I had a PDR back in the middle and late 70's. I read about Dianabol and a few other AAS. The PDR is the reason I never used. All the contraindications and side effects were scary.
Smart man
What's a PDR?
@@joshuatreebje physician's desk reference
you wuss! roids are awesome, you just gotta be smart about it, you should've been listening to the guys actually using the stuff instead of some biased, fear-mongering medical book
Government and bureaucrats are vehemently opposed to any sort of empowerment (physically, psychologically, education or economically). One must avoid their propaganda publications or remain ignorant.
Golden Era Bodybuilding Thankyou for sharing another awesome video. 👌
Ha ha Joe Weider "MEGA PACKS" Meanwhile every bodybuilder was filled to the gills with steroids.
Jerry knows so much about this subject!!
Mentzer wrote about working for Dr. Ziegler. I don't recall him mentioning steroids, but he DID note that he and his brother Ray both used Ziegler's electrical muscle stimulator. And he said it actually worked.
RIP Bill Pearl
I'm staggered by the lack of your own research. Ziegler died of kidney failure relatively young by today's standards. He was only anti steroid in as much as what they athletes were taking over and above. The Mentzers were allegedly some of the first bodybuilders to take human growth hormone before it was synthesized - from dead human brains. Perhaps Ziegler facilitated this. I was always in awe of the Mike Mentzer physique because his muscles looked so thick. In later life, before he passed away he looked a mess which was sad to see.
All through the cold war the west was battling the Soviet Union for gold medals. The battle for the best PEDs was going on behind the scenes. It was noticed some of the Soviet athletes prostates were so enlarged they had to pee through a catheter.
Arthur Jones was publicly vehemently anti steroids and would only ever admit to Serge Oliver being on steroids when he trained him because he already was and if he had taken him off them his body would have been even worse than if he was natural due to hormonal imbalance. Arthur Jones used Casey Viator as his pin up for his HIT training methodology. HIT being coined by Ellington Darden. Jones and Darden were adamant Casey never took steroids under their tutelage. Casey also always denied use. If they had of admitted this it would have undercut Jones business model which was to sell a training regime and exercise equipment for the masses. Rumour has it Jones has all his bodybuilders on Nilevar which is allegedly what Bill Pearl took. Arthur Jones made a movie with Bill Pearl before he discovered Casey Viator and crucially before he was selling exercise machines. The Mentzers also had interaction with Arthur Jones and he gave them both jobs but reading between they lines he didn't like how lazy they were. Ray refused to demonstrate equipment complaining he was too sore after his workout proper so he left Lake Helen first then left alone without his brother Mike left not long after. Jones only ever really liked Viator who left him for the high life in California. Viator would admit to steroid use when he was in California but if anything his physique was not as good as when he trained under Jones. Arnold in his Bodybuilding Encyclopedia mentioned training with Viator and how intense it was. Bodybuilders at that time were enticed by the lifestyle Arnold had and wanted to share in it.
The reasons the likes of Jones and Weider distance themselves from steroid use is obvious. They were both businessmen. They needed the masses on side. One to sell his exercise equipment to the masses and the other his muscle magazines.
Fantastic interview. Very interesting. Thank you :-)
Thanks for listening
@@GoldenEraBookworm it was a pleasure and a privilege. I really love this interview series. Especially your interview with Tom Platz. His passion for the sport even at his ripe old age is truly unbelievable. This was also a fantastic video and answered some questions iv wondered for years
I love these stories Carlos!
I am glad you do, more coming soon!
@@GoldenEraBookworm bill pearl has died Carlos 😟
Dr. Robert Kerr was the Pasadena Dr.
Very Eye Opening 👍
There is a video where the 'little guy' from Pumping Iron talks about the availability of steroids in Golds Gym at the time of the filming of Pumping Iron. The little guy is the person with blonde hair who Arnold gives some posing tips. Anyway, he states that Golds Gym, just like every other gym then and since, had a guy who dealt in steroids. In this interview he talks about how Arnold knew about the guy with the training bag full of gear and that he have a word with him not to approach the little guy.
Here is the interview. it's very interesting and well worth a watch. Starts at about 8:15 minutes in.

Thank you, have added it to my watch later video list
This was a nice video 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing this great content bro. I really appreciate it 🙏🏽
Your welcome..from one Chad to another
In the 80's it was the same situation in Washington State. You could get a steroid script from your doctor but yes we had our "go to" doctors where to obtain them.
Amazing content
Thank you
Mad thing is the golden era bodybuilding legends live long rich lives.
The new guys are 300lb and lucky to see 35
The new drugs are killing them!!
They had little knowledge and had the best body’s of all time
Nothing new out there...they use the same compounds now as fifty years ago...they just use much more
It's not the drugs that are killing today's guys the drugs don't help but it's the food. These guys are eating between 5 and 10,000 calories a day off season leading to body weight of 300 lbs and above. You have no idea how much stress eating that amount of food puts the body under be it the heart, vascular system, pancreas, kidneys etc.... Gaining that kind of excess body weight over a long time will kill you slowly but gaining that kind of weight quickly will kill you decades earlier.
I read Robbie's book and he said Weider sent the body builders from Golds to a specific doctor get your so called supplements that were actually steroids.
Considering the several major heart surgeries Arnold has had, that specific picture of him in this video is ironic.
I was so fortunate in all my early years not to know anything about diet or drugs... i worked out doing pushups,situp and pullups from around 7 to 10... then used dan lurie weights my brother borrowed from brother in law... when i was 12 in high school we had universal gym... Once i was 18 i joined my first gym...made real gains since i trained all the time and ate a lot... by 19 i was 6' 230 lbs...If i would have been polluted with all i see on you tube today i may have never believed i could grow without drugs... Its a shame so many trainers today only see drugs as the solution to looking big and strong...
Good channel!
In the time of the Golden Era they did not need a doctor to get the things, they were legal.
Ok I'm going to need two of them doctors
I never heard of Jakot, but someone named Karr or Kerr is a name that used to come up in steroid circles. My memory is a little hazy...IDK if he prescribed steroids or not, but his name was often mentioned.
Dr Robert Kerr.
@@odessafile75 Right. Thanks for the clarification.
cool
Thanks Jerry...Let us have the Truth!
Way back when I was young and naive enough to believe those guys weren't using roids.
Makes you wonder if any of these doctors wrote out detailed drug protocols for athletes and bodybuilders.
I am sure they did. I am trying to contact them. Can you imagen the stories?
@@GoldenEraBookworm “So I had this one bodybuilder, a big German guy on primobolan, winstrol, anavar, dextroamphetamine 12 weeks out plus lasix just before the Mr Olympia.” 😝
I saw Jekot, Walczac and Kerr in the early 80's
Right, I went to Dr. Kerr in the 80's. What a cool time it was. The waiting room was full of big bodybuilders.
MUSCLE BEACH......R.I.P.
Jekot was an NPC judge as well!
Dr Richard Tyler was in no way associated with steroids...quite the opposite.
Just release the full form video
No
The late Dr. Robert Kerr.
In 1982 Dr. Kerr advised me. So basic a protocol it seems now ancient.
@@donsanders5611 Ditto
@@donsanders5611 what was it? Kerr's name has been out there for decades now. Apparently, it wasn't a very well kept secret that he was handling bodybuilders in the Venice area.
@@johnnybeefum at that time he said to do 8 weeks on 8 off. This was for orals only. Obviously not a good idea in today's world.
@@donsanders5611 one oral at a time or more? which oral/orals?
Jerry’s a walking encyclopedia on all things bodybuilding…
Joe and Ben didnt turn a blind eye they profiteered from it indirectly, it built not only muscles but their empire.
When you're paying bodybuilders to pose with a can of Weider's Crash Wate-Gain #7, you're definitely profiting by proxy. The bigger they looked, the more they sold.
As soon as he said Meth, we knew it was either Mentzer or Pete Grymkowski...
Gold's gym has definitely improved and upgraded since from back in the day.Today Gold's gym is the best gym in the world 🌎
I think you’re the first person I have ever seen say that.
@@thejmc4074 wow really.To me Gold's gym is the best gym.Because they have you could want.They have everything from lots of weights and cardio equipment.Golds gym also have a Basketball court.Plus they even have boxing and martial arts classes.And they even have a program for kids.so if you have children you can let them go in the child care program while you are working out.They also have a steam room and sauna room too .I don't care what nobody say.Golds gym is the best gym.Its better than any gym I've ever been to.
Dr. Robert Kerr in San Gabriel Ca(next to Pasadena)is the one Jerry can't think of. I still use the Dr who bought his practice as my primary. Dr. Kerr was USC Football's team Dr for quite a while also. He was an excellent Dr, far from any kind of quack. He monitored, and wanted to see athletes who were going to do it anyway do things as safely as possible. He wouldn't prescribe excessive dosages either.
I want to say I'm not outing &or exposing Dr. Kerr either. He was completely up front about things, he was a very competent sports Dr ahead of his time. Just like alcohol there's use and abuse of anabolics. I'm not advocating in for or against, my attitude is this is a consenting adult's choice. Unfortunately anabolics are another subject the Leftist media (who's generally clueless on the subject) have latched onto because it's so easy to sensationalize. Very similarly to the way they accuse anyone who disagrees with them racism, sexism etc. whatever works to discredit their opponents.
👍
And some people look at the Golden Era as a better era of drug abuse?
Without the drugs you don't get into that shape
The facts are most of those golden era builders also had health issues.
Bodybuilding and steroids go hand in hand.
Steve Michalik in alcune interviste dichiarò molte cose sulla prostituzione di diversi bodybuilder con alcuni medici disposti a ricambiare i favori sessuali con i farmaci.
Your thumbnail pictures Dick Tyler DC. You can rest assured NOBODY received ANY steroids from Tyler .
Is that the Anabolic Doc with Arnold ?
Excuse my Ignorance
Bodybuilding is not a sport if you can or behind closed doors take steroids its just pure cheating in every way.
