For those into the bodybuilding sport, I'm sure you've heard of Greg Valentino. I've always thought for someone to do this to their body must be SICK in the head... IN the video he talks about his steroid use but to get his arms that big he uses a substance called SYNTHOL.
what a complete and utter IDIOT..

Actually he is not telling the complete story. I have followed this guy for awhile. He was not only doing roids, he was injecting directly into his bicepts and tricepts a type of oil. I believe its called Systal or something. This is how he got that bulge look. The oil would sit up ontop of the muscle. He was laughed out of the community for his actions. Most of what you see is the oil. Everyone knew it, he was out of control.

A friend of mine I used to ride with got really into the weight lifting/roids lifestyle. Needless to say a few short years later in Oct of 02 they found him dead in his room. to all of that

How many friends of yours have died? You have a friend death story for every thread.
The guy looked like a freak of nature. Did he ever actually compete? If so, why was he never disqualified(it's obvious he was on something).
Steroids are part of bodybuilding except the less prestigious and low $ "natural" contests. Not illegal for the pros. But this guy was a joke. Those arms were the biggest around but so disproportionate most of the bodybuilding community thought of him as just a freak or a curiousity.
It was never his goal to compete, just to be freaky muscular and strong looking.
Search names like Ronny Coleman or Dorian Yates for what successful BIG bodybuilders are supposed to look like. I didn't say normal because 280lbs and 5% bodyfat isn't normal to most people outside the bodybuilding world. Search Greg Kovacs for a guy with similar sized arms but more in proportion to his body.
Valentino is like 5'5" and was compensating for being a little guy.
No judgement, but following the lead of some supposedly knowledgable people who think steroids represent little or no health risks. And a drug dealer on top of that.
He is a posterboy for why bodybuilders should want to stay clean.
It was a good documentary for teenagers considering juicing as a shortcut.
