entertaining video
I am still happy Canseco exposed the liars and the hypocrites. I don't care what anyone says, or the fact that Jose is apologizing for it now.

I personally know "athletes" who have been on small amounts of roids continuously since the mid 70's. Still healthy and looking younger than their peers.

The worst thing he can think of is gyno surgery, give me a break.  He's just jumping on the anti roid band wagon.  And the guy is in his late 40's right now how young are you supposed to look?

shit, if Nitro is in his late forties, he hasn't hold up well to aging. he's wrinkled really bad at his age.

he is still a classic narcissist, only cares about himself....now that he cant make a career on roids he is going to sell it up the river....its for pure selfish reasons, he doesnt care about helping anyone.....This is a guy that will do anything or say anything to make a buck and keep his narcissitic lifestyle which I am sure revolves around rec drugs.

He looks like crap in person.  I saw him in the mid 90's at the gym I used to go to when I came to LA.  It was in the valley.  Not impressive at all.

great post...There really is no difference between him and Canseco...I would almost bet the farm that if Nitro was to turn around, you would find a paper back Bible in his back pocket...Its very interesting how there really is no stopping the unconcious Egostic mind...Funny how he talked about bitch tits but wouldn't dare say anything about his balls shrinking up to the size of raisins...Atleast the Ego of Canseco would allow for that...However he then had to make the comment Like "how wants big balls anyway"


At this point and time, I just want to give a shout out to Eckhart Tolle and his book "The New World"...You have opened my eyes...

Title: Re: American Gladiator Nitro - Juiced for 20 years
Post by: Junior III on April 18, 2009, 02:10:45 PM
Just finished reading the book.

1. He does go into detail that he's done other illegal drugs and been into a hard partying, typical Hollywood lifestyle that gratefully, of course, was covered up by the powers that be on AG at the time.
 
"After you've crossed the line and taken an illegal drug, it's a lot easier to say yes to a line of blow, a tab of ecstasy..." and "I don't know a juicer who hasn't tried or doesn't use illegal drugs."

2. He gives a lot of insight to why he felt the need to put the drugs in himself and how it feels to be "big", feared and noticed.

3. He does speak, several times, throughout the book about his impotence (never actually using that word, but using euphemisms), lack of desire and testicular atrophy.  He doesn't minimize THESE side effects at all.


The book is more about the way he sort of put the steroids first and everything else was an afterthought.  He's just telling a story about how his life went and steroids definitely played a defining role in who he is/was.  From the kind of people and relationships he was in, to his career and treatment of his son.  He makes no apologies for being the kind of person who loves adoration from screaming fans/groupies/idolizing children.  It's not a tell-all kind of book.  He's not "naming names", just taking you on his journey.  Better than I thought it would be, overall.

Just finished reading the book, he had a rough childhood, brother dies at a young age right before him, back and forth with parents/step parents, no really solid job....it does "entertain" things about his supplement usage, but a lot of bs - stating he benches 500lbs. and eats 7,000 calories a day/5 meals....

All in all a decent read!

There are some freaks who can get to that or beyond after years, usually shorter guys because they can fill out their frame easier.

There are also plenty of guys who look like shit who take roids for twenty years like Romano
