Post by: ~flower~ on February 12, 2006, 05:26:31 PM
TLC — The Man With Exploding Arms
The Man With Exploding Arms


Gregg Valentino wanted to be special ... to really stand out in a crowd. His dream ... to become the man with the world's biggest arms. At his peak Gregg's biceps measured a massive 28-inches in diameter biceps but at what cost?


On at 10pm EST  tonight (2/12/06)  TLC  (The Learning Channel)

GV = what a f***ng tool...   I mean it's pretty obvious by his column in MD that this guy's a few cards shy of a full deck, but damn... what a gimp. I can't believe he's still running his site injections with steroids b.s anyone knows that injectable steroids get broken down, even an abcess will eventually go down,  GV is one of the best examples of synthol abuse out there. Along with Klaus.

PROBABLE CAUSE - A reasonable belief that a person has committed a crime.

His fucking arms are a probable cause!  Gimme a fucking break, "How did they get a warrant?"  I don't know dummy, how did they?

GV column in MD is by far better then any other column in any bodybuilding magzine on the market today.The guy is funny and he tells it like it is, Im a supporter not a hater.

taking steroids = "selling your soul to the devil"  :o  ::)

I'm confused, was this special about Greg Valentino or an anti-steroid campaigne???? ???

I loved that british kid telling his mom that he IS going to use steroids.  She says she won't let him, hmmmmmm, it seems that steroid use is a more dangerous threat than cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and MORBID obesity ::)  ;D

He didnt say taking steroids was selling your soul to the devil, werent you watching or to busy hating? GV said selling steroids and living that lifestyle was selling his soul to the devil.He is a straight shooter, read his column in md magazine, he tells it like no other bodybuilder or bodybuilding writer.

He's more disturbing than expected, if that's possible. Michalik's another psycho with a very fucked-up history, so having them both on was perfect.
 
Following that, there was a one-hour show, Supersize She, on women  preparing to compete in the Olympia.

GV's in a class by himself but these women are frightening.

Not only that, but along the lines of the hypocrite comment, how the hell is he gonna stand there and be like "Yeah, I was clean for 15 years....won every contest there is, but when approached I was strongly against it, but I went against my better judgement and listened to someone else....but they were all doctors."

Shut the f*ck up buddy...C'MON...100 REPS!!! YOU CAN DO THESE OR YOU CAN USE STEROIDS....IT'S YOUR CHOICE!!!

He was shouting about the need to do 60 sets per bodypart in the same sentence as 'you don't need steroids!'

Also one of the 'natural' trainers in his video section had some awful gyno.

Did Steve talk about the coin slot on the Coke machine that he banged back in the 70's? Sadly, the machine never recovered. It committed suicide in 1979. Hence, the Smashing Pumpkins song...speaking of which...what do West Virginians do on Halloween? They Pump Kin.

Valentino didnt put down steroid use, he said drug dealing ruined his life.During the gym scene he said to one guy "thats when I was happly juiced up". I like the fact that he is straight up even admitting he was a drug deal.My props to him for that.On the otherhand Steve Milahek was way off base, he is a lying fool.

Two things: 1) Greg is a funny guy.  If you take him seriously, and become offened then you're a douche. 2) Poor Steve.  He has a lot of problems.  However, he was right.  When you do use steroids, you do change the nuclei of the muscle cells (among others), and if you have the trait for cancer you will easily increase your chances of becoming ill.  You cannot ecapse the physiology of being a human.  However, let's say you can.  Let's say there's no way YOU could ever get cancer, and you came from Krypton so you have Superman's heart.  Know this: Steroids will change the decisions that you make.  You are an amalgamation of everything that you have experienced, and you will make choices because of those experiences.   If you change your testosterone, you will change the decisions that you will make, and you will generate different experiences.  You do become a different person.  This is a fact.  Out of all of the bodybuilding comeptitors that I have known, amateurl or pro, only one has ever said steroids are worth it. Everyone else owned up to the fact that they had dire consequences on their lives.   I don't give a shit if you do them, if your momma does them, etc., but do not pretend like nothing is going to happen, or has happened b/c of them.

Apparently he suffers from a mental disorder. At one point in his life, Greg looked pretty decent. Yet he becomes a freak because he likes the attention in clubs...even if the attention is "Look at that freak!" I also found it funny he looks like  a ridiculous freak of nature,  then has a scar on his bicep and is self conscience about how he looks...wtf?

No one's offended, they're repulsed. He obviously takes himself seriously and with pride, mentions during the show having "earned" his 25" arms-an idiot & liar! He's equally proud to claim to be the "biggest".

He's only unintentionally funny; laughed at, not with. He could make good money as part of a freak show.

What the hell are you talking about?   Do you really think that if Greg didn't go on t.v. that the public's opinon was going to make a 180?  Then what? Was the public going to say, "We don't like the freaks, we want a shitty-to-medicore lifter.  We want one that posts on the internet all day.  Yeah, let's give HRDCOR that deal!"  Gimme a fucking break.

There is nothing untrue about that statement. However, I think the sad thing is that: 1) you took a picture of Greg to your doctor, and 2) you had to have a doctor tell you that.

One moron takes a guys picture to his doctor, the other morn blames a magazine for Valentino's popularity. You clowns never cease to amaze me! GREGG VALENTINO is probably the only guy in this sport who tells the truth be it an ugly truth or not. Have you ever read King Kamali's column where he says steroids are bad and he pushes Muscle Tek shit? Valentino tells  you how in his day he blasted the shit out of himself using up to 3500mgs of testoterone alone..he even said on that show "when i was happily juiced up " the guy calls himself ugly and knows how to entertain people. Im friends with him , youll never meet a nicer guy, ask anyone who met him in person, he is an asset to MD and the bodybuilding community. He is the first person in this sport to publicly blast Lou F. for being an ass to people especially kids.The man is a way more then you blind idiots will ever see.Your jealous punks talking shit about some guy who has gone where you fools can only dream of going, MD columnist, main stream media.Stop hating on someone you have never met, meet him first then pass judgement.Now to the girl that says she threw up, SHAME ON YOU, Ron will tell you how nice Gregg is and Im sure he was very nice to youas well.Valentino does look like that anymore, but he is still big as a house and he is still my friend.

synthol doesnt work ???   really ???

a few pros might disagree with you.

as for his "size" being from site injections of steroids... the amounts he would have had to put in each arm to get that size would be ridiculous and usually any size you get from that is just localized swelling which goes away in a few days.

im no expert but i would have to say synthol is the only way they got that big. he should just admiit it if he is so honest like you say...and has been about most of his past.

Sterods work much better because of localised growth as well as stretching the sheeth of the muscle from the oil base .Synthol only streches the sheeth and it does it poorly.Greggs arms were over 27 inches, its one thing for synthol to add a half inch or even an inch but not 6 inches.Val had 21 inch arms naturally and anyone who knows him for years will tell you that fact.

so you think snythol wont add 6 inches but steroid site injections in his arms will?

if its not just synthol crammed in there then why are they so lumpy and unbalanced. each one looks way different than the other.

I think Greg had a lot of scar tissue already built up over the years in his arms from injecting vitamin B.  I think when he did a lot of oil based steroids it really just added up into that tissue.  Look at the piriformis of most bodybuilders.  It looks like fat, but really it's just a build up of scar tissue and oil.  Same thing happened w/ Greg's arms.  If you continue to localize a shot, then you will increase the damage to that area.  You need to remember that the oil in oil based steroids collects just as synthol does.

Just saw it last night...


Michalik was full of it!
"once that first molecule gets in you it's alwys doing damage"
That is patently ridiculous. Has he never heard of HRT?

I've read other interviews with his dumb ass and he's admitted to using copious amounts of orals which is no doubt why he ended up tumors.
Even cancer patients with aplastic anemia take enormous amounts of orals and don't end up with side effects like this guy.
Maybe someone should have told him that 10 Anadrol per day for 10 years straight
isn't the healthiest thing to do to your body.

He was a serious roid abuser and addict, and now that his hey-day is over he's changed his tune.
His physique was never going to amount to much even with all the sauce.

It was also bullshit that he was too much of a man-pussy to take responsibility
for his OWN decision to use...he tried blaming others. Be a man and take the consequences!

I'm calling BS on his claim that he won the 75 America drug-free too.
He's just trying to keep some credibility.

60 sets per bodypart...BWAHAAHAHAHAH AHAHA

At least Valentino didn't sugar-coat his story.

Guys...Greg Velentino has IMPLANTS. Synthol doesn't do that. Synthol is just oil which dissipates over a few days like oil based testosterone injections do.

Synthol is injected into the muscle therefor stretching the muscle fascia creating an ideal anabolic environment. The oil dissipates within a few days and the space left is filled with REAL muscle mass.

Synthol is used to gain real muscle mass.


Greg Valentino's arms are NOT from synthol. His arms are from displaced implants. If you look he has the look similar to one of those women with 30lb breasts. The stretched botchy look.


It's a physiological impossibility for synthol to do what you see with greg valentino's arms.

I only saw the first half, fell asleep.

I don't believe for one second that Synthol causes or creates an environment for muscular growth. If memory serves, muscled grow by hypertrophy, Stretching the fascia could theoretically give the muscles more room to grow after the oil was gone. I'd be more inclined to believe that a stretched/loose fascia would give more room for lactic acid, other metabolites and imflammation which would slow down the body's natural healing process.

Guys...Greg Velentino has IMPLANTS. Synthol doesn't do that. Synthol is just oil which dissipates over a few days like oil based testosterone injections do.
Synthol is injected into the muscle therefor stretching the muscle fascia creating an ideal anabolic environment. The oil dissipates within a few days and the space left is filled with REAL muscle mass.
Synthol is used to gain real muscle mass.
Greg Valentino's arms are NOT from synthol. His arms are from displaced implants. If you look he has the look similar to one of those women with 30lb breasts. The stretched botchy look.
It's a physiological impossibility for synthol to do what you see with greg valentino's arms.

Your as much as an idiot as Gregg V if you think that ...but the likelihood is that you are gregg v or one of his dumb ass friends..."the oil dissipates withing a few days and the space left is filled with REAL muscle mass" ...I nominate that as the early favorite for most retarded quote in 2006...

Amazed that no one has posted a picture of Gregg for those who have never seen him.  (Then again, maybe they'd be better off never having seen him!)
Presenting "The Arminator", able to destroy his arms at will.

It is interesting to see that he has no front delt development and that the implant/synthol/???? runs all the way up his rear delt.

Its not what he has...Its silicone and then some form of sythol over it...That is why it leaks all over the place...The silicone can get hard as a rock..What do you think the guy has implants all over his rear delts chest-bis-tris ect...With basically no signs or major scars...This guy was using silicone just like the likes of the older pros(arnold ect)..The same shit the dipshits getting their cock enlarged of in TJ use...Its just a matter of time before gang-green sets in and hopefully his arms will have to be cut off and that will be the end of him...

Velentino denies having implants.

If you've ever used oil based ether testosterone you know that it dissipates within a few days depending on the ether. Synthol doesn't stay there,It dissipates within a few days just like oil based testosterone does if injected.


This guy obviously has implants in his biceps,Triceps and delts.

It's odd because none of the lifts (I saw) were substantial, even the dips were with his body-weight. You'd think a guy with arms that big would show some impressive lifts.

His bicep had a broken blood vessel deep inside from being hit with a baseball bat.That bicep was filled with blood, we used to bust his balls about it and Bob Bonham  jokingly told him that he should drain it himself so thats what he did. The bicep was BLUE when he stared, it was gross.He once drew a nipple on it and had this girl from VIP lounge kiss it and lick it, you had to be there it was fucking hilarious.

I guess you had to be there. Sounds like Gregg leads a real productive life for a 45 year old.

GV is one of the many characters that make bodybuilding what it is.  Love him or hate him, he's never shy on any topic and some of his stories would make a priest blush.  He's a clasic in a clasic game.  It would be a little less interesting without GV to goof on.

c'mon you have to believe him right.  I mean it's not like he did prison time or anything like that, so he has got to be truthful about no oil!  All natural and from hard training, funny how those tris sag like an ole ladies brestasus though, maybe it's just aging and the gravity is getting to them.  To me he should win any constest he entered.  The first few times you read his column it's funny in a dumb way, but over and over, it gets a little old reading about ghetto hoes, crapping in yer car/garage, jacking off, but then again that's why they have clowns at the circus right?  Like I've said before the only thing good is that he constantly gives thanks to the Armed Forces of our country.

He mentions that he lost all of his "material posessions." Theoretically, they were never his anyway. He purchased them with "bad money" from illegal drug dealing. Never paid the taxes on that money either. I bet he's a Democrat.

Greg Velentino is completly dishonest. First he claims it's not due to injection and then he claims it's due to test injections.

In reality it's implants and injections of silicone most likely,But implants definitly that amount of mass isn't possible without implants. No way simple silicone could do that.

And he may or may not use synthol just like he may or may not use steroids but neither syntherol or steroids caused that.

No, his head make a sloshing sounds when he walk, because it is filled with urine, but like anything else with this moron, it is done just about a half way full, so even among a piss heads he is only insignificant half of a man.

I liked what Steve Michalik had to say about steroids. Anyone who thinks they do not cause harm even a little is ignorant. Look at how many of the guys from the golden era have dropped off or had heart attacks.
   The part that had me was the statement that Steve was one of the only guys to ever defeat Arnold. He in fact never did defeat Arnold and I do not believe he ever shared the same competition diase with Arnold either.

Of course, steroids can do harm.

However, the show was far too sensationalistic.

I mean, blaming exploding arms on steroids  ::) WTF?

Also, Michalik made it seem like abuse is inevitable. Yes, at the top levels. However, he made it seem like it is universally true.

TLC — The Man With Exploding Arms
The Man With Exploding Arms


Gregg Valentino wanted to be special ... to really stand out in a crowd. His dream ... to become the man with the world's biggest arms. At his peak Gregg's biceps measured a massive 28-inches in diameter biceps but at what cost?


On at 10pm EST  tonight (2/12/06)  TLC  (The Learning Channel)



All I can say is that takes balls to do.  Brains are another topic, but I'll bet more people on here secretly wish they had the nuts to be nuts.

the only way i could possibly do anything remotely that stupid is if i had Aids and was going to die very soon..But before i would do anything remotely close to what this guy did, i would rob banks and give to the poor, shoot synthol in my cock just for the f**k of it and then when i was getting really sick i would board up my place and never see anyone again. Then maybe do what he did just for the f ck of it...

What i would like to see him do now is shoot the shit straight down into the top of his head with a 10 gauge 6 inch needle until his head exploded...Then i would like to see another show about him title "the man with a exploding head"....I would pay money to see him go out that way...So Greg if your reading...think about it....Everyone dies sometimes right...and like you say, you should have died 100 times over right....so shoot the synthol straight into your head...or better yet...forget the synthol(because it wasn't that right) and shoot 50ccs of EQ every day until you get the effect for the new TV program i listed above...You can go out a TV star and once again blame it on steroids ;)
