I think he is an ok guy, most likely funny and not bad to hang out with for a bit, etc.I never met him in person, but will give him the bennefit of the doubt on his personality.
I sincerely believe he has some form of body dysmorphic disorder and wanted to grab attention and fame by any means available, which to some degree he has. Ironic how he has some cult following and shock value fame while he ruined his physique to the point he could never actually compete again.
I feel he may be in serious denial about how distorted his body really is>

great guy
(put me in his Ramblin Freak section of Muscular Developement,he didn't have to put my picture in there,
he had already put my name and a shout out to me before in there,
he did so because he said he would
a man of his word.................... .very rare in this day and age)
he also has sent me free t-shirts and other stuff............why?
no reason other than he is truly one of "the good guys"

it's funny. how long can you read about how dexter jackson diets? it's the first thing i read usually. it's look at page 69 and then read ramblin freak...then polumbos how to train in jail thing.
beats the fuck out of flex.

Mike, I am not flaming, you gotta admit he is bit "out there" with the biceps ect... I take it he cares little of what others say?
def "out there"
he likes the attention............... ............both good and bad
-
He's a fcuking idit.
Anyone putting oil in their arms the way Valvolino does, would be a fcuking idit.
He used to have a good physique, but couldn't accept his genetics. Wanted the biggest arms in the world, and pumped oil into them.
I even think he's selling that shit off his website.
A real douchebag.
Doesn't matter how good person he is.

the guy is like a train wreck...its a ugly mess but people wanna see.
-
he is free to do what he wants to his body..including use synthol.
just dont say he did it with juice not synthol.
thats makes him a douche..but he stood up for Freggino's (sp) sister in law...so that makes him a good man.
wish he's quit with the ..i used steroid injections in my arms to get em big crap..or get an MRI and put it in his culumn and get it over with the naysayers <hint hint>
-
Hedge.. why are you so passionate about it? what he does.. doesn't hurt or effect you.. It's his body he's free to f**k it up in whatever way he chooses.
true...but people who dont know any better see this clown and see him as bodybuilder...its guys like this why most of the mainstream public consider bodybuilding to be a joke.

Very legit question.
He's selling Synthol off his site.
(http://greggvalentino.net/images/store/synth.jpg)
And by selling this shit, he is actively providing Synthol, helping people to fcuk up their bodies.
He also fcuks up the image the general public have of bodybuilders.
Only because he couldn't accept never being able to grow the biggest arms in the world.

I liked his column for awhile but that mercedes ghetto pig bullsht is old. And since i saw that video and heard his voice i couldnt take him as seriously... dont know why. Doesnt seem too honest either. and if he is hes got one hell of an eventful life.

the less people bodybuild, the more i feel and am unique compared to the others.
I dont want bbing to go mainstream, i want it to be a freak occupation.
bbing, weight lifting=freaks, healthy or not.
-
I don't know what the man is like as a person as i've never met him.How ever I will state I think he loves to shock ppl. w/his outlook towards life.Seems,i'm basing this also by what he writes, that he would be a true friend as long as he is not "screwed" by the ppl. he considers a friend.Alas, I don't care 1 bit for the way at times in his column how he comes off as a real pedophile.As for the synthol?His body,his business.
-
He is a delusional retarded attention whore douchebag. That is the Jaejonna take on Oil Arms
-
The guy is a retard, thinks that by talking shit when hes all tested up hes tough, hes a pussy, ramblin shithead, cant wait till the day somone gets the shits with him and punches one of those arms, would rupture in a second, dumbass bitch.
-
for a midget he sure runs his mouth alot

I am sure he is a good guy and fun to hang with ,etc. However, if he did not get some shock value attention from his distorted arms , nobody would ever read about him. He is now famous for his odd ball stunts and gets others to read his column by giving lots of shout outs to various people in and around our sport.
I would be a lot more impressed if the guy had done somehing in actual bodybuilding contests.In other words, what has he ever done to deserve respect in REAL bodybuilding.
He is a cult figure that I don't consider good for the sport.
Good luck , almost time for the big day.

I have no prob with him selling anything on his site. However, it does perpetuate the rumors that his arms contain synthol. I actually believe him that it is the scarring and buildup of whatever he's been shooting up for years. But selling synthol on his site definitely puts his stamp of approval and therefore his endorsement upon the product. So he doesn't have to answer to us, but any bitching about it will fall on deaf or mocking ears.
-
I think his arms look horrendous but I have talked to the guy over emails and he seems nice.
-

Yeah but he is a liar. He said he had 21" muscular arms cold NATURAL. Sergio Oliva's arms were less than 21" cold. He said he grew his 27" arms from steroids. How come nobody else has attained 27" arms? Including Ronnie Coleman. Why are his forearms puny? Why is his chest puny? Because it is all one big lie.
-

The guy is probably fucking impotent.

I don't wish bad fortune on Valvolino.
Of course not.
But the fcuker is pimping Synthol. It's not illegal to sell Synthol. But sometimes you have to stand up for something. He's pimping the Synthol because it's easy money, and he gets away with it, because it's for "topical use only".
People will get their bodies ruined thanks to shit bought at Valvolino's place.
He can argue all he wants to about how he only supplies, he doesn't force any needle into the arms of anyone.
But the fact remains. There are people with his oil in their arms.
And some people here think he's a good guy.

Knowingly selling something that hurts ppl- That would put him on the level of a drug dealer. I am pretty sure he isn't the type of guy to sell drugs, though.
-
I would seriously doubt that people looking at Greg's arms would rush out to buy the oil, they are no way worth having ... if anything seeing his arms would put you off getting oil. ;)
Yes. I think you're right.
There are some few whackos though. You have to see the pic of that kid pulling a trailer. His arm is getting blue, looking about to fall off... 8)
Crazy. Just crazy.

greg v would be great for this board, what with all the trash talking on here ;D
-
I like Greg...he was a gentleman the time I met him at The ASC, he hooked me up with a shout-out a couple years back and even remembered my name the day after I seen him at The Arnold...thats a big plus and also a compliment...to have your name remembered.
I USED to love his collumn but now...its so slapsticky and the humor is so potty...its very borning. The jokes, the b.s. about his ghetto piggy latina whore and the credit card thing with the get bit by a spider for a goth girl and his dick and shit blasts is so so old. You can tell in his writing style its 90% fictional...he just feels a obligation to 'entertain'. The whole 'woof, its getting hot in here...let me go jerk off...woof...did I say that? I was kidding....okay maybe not...woof...yes I was...okay maybe I wasnt...woof...I was in my car singing today...Oops I did it again, I played w/ your heart...oh no wait, I mean I was singing Metallica...yea...ummm.. Metallica...I wasnt singing Britney Spears no way...just kidding...maybe not...yes I was...woof let me take a jekyll/hyde pill...okay Im back...where was I...woof..."
Otherwise...Greg walked the line for years and years. He seen everything there is in the deep heart of the BB subculture of NY City...
No different than alot of us...train, talks mostly to people in the BB comunity or circles of your area...gets involved w/ gym politics...make pick-ups and drop-offs...use gear...go to all the shows blah blah blah. We all got skeletons in our closet...I see no reason to throw stones at him...DA is something els, though. Adam Reiche to!
-
Blockhead, I also see no reason to cast ill will, personal insults or throw stones at GV.
Obviously, the man has struck a cord with the underground , get swole, freak lover ,side of this sport.
I suspect MD editor Steeve Blechman knows this as well.
Once again, I believe most when they claim he is a nice guy and fun to be around with, etc.
I sincerely believe the man has some level of body dysmorphic disorder and a tad self absorbed.
Instead of being "one of many" with a good state level body he opted to go for the complete freak look.
In the process he abandoned his chance to actually compete as an actual bodybuilder.
I just can't fathom why anyone would follow or think this guy is representaitive of bodybuilding but obviously he must be to some around the sport. THAT, I just can't comprehend???Why would anyone think that a complete disotortion of ones' physiue is cool?

He said in an interview that he sells synthol because everyone ask him about it so he figured he would sell it. He said he hasn't sold much at all though. His arms are due to site-injection steroids he said. "You think oil is going to make your arms that big?" He said it's solid.

I for one could care less what actual artificial extreme method the man used to build his exploding guns.
The bigger issue is why anyone would consider him representative of bodybuilding.Look, the guy is not nuts, dangerous or a bad guy, etc. However, it seems that he has some sort of disorder when it comes to how he views his body, that is obvious. THAT should be the key focus when you look at GV.
-
That's why he's popular. He's not looked at as a "representative" or anything like that. The only reason we are talking about him is because he's a freak.

Kinda like the bearded lady at the sideshow??? Ok I get it now.

YEp.
And he's not the reason bodybuilding isn't popular with the mainstream. Most people have never seen or heard of him. Guys like Ronnie Coleman are. The pros on the cover of Flex and MD. People see that physique and they just think "omg imagine all the steroids he takes." And they are right lol. It's just ugly to the average person. Arnold had a personality, he promoted the sport, and he maintained a build that was huge yet still "aesthetic" whatever that means. That generated interest because people wanted to look like him and it seemed like it was attainable.

I agree 100%, and until the sport becomes a PHYSIQUE contest instead of a massive freak show, we will be losers in the eyes of the media
-
I enjoy watching the "FREAKS" lol as much as any other hardcore fan. I think if it went back to a smaller more attainable look the die-hard core wouldn't like it. Does anyone really want to go back to the 70s? The can of worms has been opened and there may be no going back. Blame it on DORIAN. ;D

As the pro sport caters to the taste and desires of the hardcore freak lovers, what has happened?
I am not saying make it male model contest, no way. But a more ideal MR O would be Heath or DEXTER
