man with exploding arms

DickHardman · 02-01-2007, 02:40 AM

i just watched this documentary on tv. its about greg valentino and how he abused steroids and got busted by the cops for selling them at his gym. look how grotesque his body became from extreme misuse of steroids. his arms got infected too from dirty needles.

The MAIN reason that happend to his arms wasn't because of steriods. It was becuase of a chemical he injected into his arms to make them bigger. It's a fatty substance bodybuilders sometimes use to inject into their muscles to increase volume. Use too much of it and stuff like that happens.

this guy gregg valentino has gone through some shit. sure it was his own fault of never feeling adequate enough, but im glad that at least he is trying to show people his mistakes and hope that people learn from him. later on in the documentary they show another bodybuilder who nearly killed himself from abusing steroids and now he spends his time helping bodybuilders get in shape without the use of steroids. as he said, " Everyone just forgot about doing the hard work."

That doesn't sound like its his fault. It seems like that sounds closer to a psychological issue that needs to be resolved by counseling. The guy has a body dysmorphic disorder...and probably other problems too that underlie that. He doesn't need to be resented or censored...he needs empathy and help.

we all have body issues, but we dont all go and do extreme things to ourselves. i to would like to be more muscular and stronger, but im not going to inject things into my body for it. that guy didnt have to inject shit straight into his biceps everyday. he could have just kept lifting normally and eating right and taking some regular supplements. he didnt have to go that nuts. look at him lol.

The guy has some serious issues, issues that require the help of mental health professionals and maybe a stay in a hospital. I don't think that it was all his choice, I think the guy was out of control with his bdd and his drug problem.
