Why would you recommend that piece of dog shit to anyone working out? He has nothing to do with working whatsoever.

:werd: The guy is a joke, I was flipping through channels and couldn't believe he was on tv. The guy doesn't even work out, he would just inject shit into his arms.

yeah his name is gregg valentino, he worked out natural for like 23 years or something and then for the last like 8 hes injected, where it was really narly was from infection in his arms from all the juice. they said his testerone levels were the same as a pre-pubescent teenage girl... thats rough :clap: congrats... ur a fucking dumbass lol, as far as the "this is something to see if ur someone who works out" has nothing to do with it, thats just :bullshit: working out is great, your fit, healthy(providing you dont over exert and stress your heart) but its proven that if you work out regularly you live longer so props to everyone who genuinely works out and doesnt roid up.

His arms are not like that from drugs - they are like that from injecting fractionated coconut oil AKA MCT oil AKA pump and pose AKA synthol which has ZERO active ingredients in it. The coconut oil is used by some cockroaches to add volume to lagging muscle groups for contests.

In this retards case lets just say he went waaaay off the deep end.

why is everyone up in arms about this? Ya it was dumb, that's what he says in the show. I thought it was a cool program too, interesting to watch. The part where he tried to operate on himself was disgusting! You guys need to calm down and check out the show.

You might actually like the show, it shows just how dumb he was and the stupid choices he made. And it's not just about him and injections, there are other prominent bodybuilders on there talking about steroids.

i saw this also.

but what i didn't get was that in the show it said hes arms got that way from abusing too steriods.

but other sources say its because he injects synthol...

sigh 2 different stories.

but its interesting anyway.

they made a brief reference to arnold schwarzegger (sp)

It's just another example of how the misinformed media perpetuates fallacies as fact.

i thought it was funny how they made that 18yr old kid and his mom sit through that guys video where hes drawing out the hematoma from his arm. the mom is just disgusted and the poor kid is trying to explain to her that his arms arent real and thats not what bodybuilding is... etc. it was creatively edited.

Valentino is a fucking joke. His body is garbage and he used way too much synthol in his arms and ended up with an abcess. Guy is a disgrace to the BB community.

What is really disgusting about this guy is the amount of publicity he has gotten the past few years, in magazines and TV.

The other thing is how it seems nobody in the bodybuilding world, or even Greg himself notices that his arms are the same relaxed as fully flexed? Is everyone taking crazy pills? They are not muscle, they are equipose, scar tissue, swelling, etc etc. I wish they would just do a doc on a real competitor, steroids or not.

Oh and that kid in the UK, some pencil neck that thinks steroids will make him a champion. Whatever any steroid detractor or pro bodybuilder detractor says, the top guys in the sport are there for a reason, awesome genetics. These guys were way huge before steroids, they weren't pencil neck pimply teenagers. If steroids were all it took then everyone who took them would be olympia caliber big.

Compare bicep and tricep size to his forearm size. If his upper arms were truly muscle and not loaded with synthol and whatever other substance his forearms would be much larger due to the biomechanics of the arm as a whole.

As a sidebar I have a friend that had the rights from Chris Clark (the inventor of PNP) to distribute Pump N' Pose (Synthol) in Canada. It was legal because it was marketed as a topical posing oil - but in reality it was used as an injectable site enhancing oil made up of MCT oil, lidocaine(painkiller), and benzyl alcohol. It cost about $500CAD per bottle had zero anabolic properties. The bottles were not all that big either (couple hundred ml if I remember correctly) so I can only imagine how much of that shit he has in his arms.

Greg Valentine is an attention whore and a further embarassment to a pastime already mired in stigma.
