I remember Dorian Yates being the first true freak in size. Before him, there were some huge guys for sure. But nobody was in the freak zone yet. After Dorian became a freak, other freaks started popping out as well. Year after year, a new freak would emerge. Nasser was a very average bodybuilder, then all of a sudden, he became a freak. Jean Pierre Fux was an average guy as well, then within a year, he became a freak. Then Paul Dillet became freaky, then Greg Kovacs, let’s not forget Ronnie’s magic transformation.
All these freaks did one thing and one thing only different in their drug programs. Ronnie was training like a monster before he became a freak, then all of a sudden with no change in training, he morphed. None of these freaks trained any harder, or did more steroids than the guys before them. They also didn’t figure out some magic diet either.
Yes, genetics are necessary to become a freak. But you need a special type of genetics. The difference between the freaks and the rest of the guys are their genetic response to INSULIN. The guys who for some reason respond to insulin like crazy are the ones who become freaks. If insulin doesn’t do much for you, you’ll never be a freak. Insulin started the freaky era of the 90’s, specifically the mid to late 90’s.
Until you try an aggressive course of insulin, you will never know if you have the genetics to respond to the insulin and become freaky. Some people only gain 10-15lbs in an entire year of insulin use. Other guys gain 30lbs in 30 days the first time using insulin. By the time the year is up, they have added 60lbs to their frame.
So in my opinion, your genetic response to insulin will be the determine factor if your going to be a freak or not. Either you have it or you don’t. You’ll never know unless you try it.
