Title: Flex Wheeler needs another kidney ?
Post by: Pet shop boys on June 26, 2024, 07:44:26 AM
Dont have much info on Flex Wheeler latety.

But I heard some days are good and others not so much for Flex Wheeelr and time is running out ....

Also Guy Cisternino is willing to donate one of his kidneys to flex?? . according to Palumbo.

He is even willing to give it to another person if his is not compatible with Flex. so they can move Flex up in the waiting list to gain time ......

I take my hat off to Guy
'for his monumental act of kindness, however my question is how functional can be the kidney of a retired pro bodybuilder pushing 50 like Cisternino (sp?)

Wishing the best outcome  for Flex


WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHH   remain Golden bitches

He's in the zone for a new one, transplanted kidneys don't last forever. My experience from watching a few transplant bodybuilders / strength athletes over the years, 15-20 years seems to be the transplanted kidney's lifespan. Flex had his transplant in 2003.

But Flex has had at least two transplants already, right?

Guy Cisterino is donating his if he’s a match.

I feel this midget is just saying he will to get the social media sympathy.  deep down he knows he is not a match or has already asked doctors.

No, just one, but the kidney has been on the fritz for a few years now, so every time he's even a little sick, he has to go to the hospital for help.

Yeah, screw that. I'm keeping all my parts. I bet he indeed Hankins out at the last minute. Guy's probably lying there, Flex has been talking about the new kidney petering out for at least 3-4 years.

Damm serious question why would flex lose his arms ?

" In a attempt to save my right leg. A stent was put in my right peck that goes all the way down to my right leg.
Unfortunately the day after the emergency surgery the stent irrupted. Within seconds my right peck, shoulder and neck was full of Blood🩸 to the point were my neck was so swollen that I was losing consciousness due to not being able to breathe. My amazing doctors had to go in and do a emergency surgery to stop the blood loss. But due to me being on intravenous heparin ,
They had to wait 24 hours to make sure I wouldn’t bleed out. So I laid there screaming and hallucinating going in and out of consciousness. Due to the nerve damage and neuropathy. I lost full usage of my right peck, shoulder all the way down to my fingers. ( evidently blood and nerve endings/internal tissue don’t get along too well )

                                                                                                       

I had to learn how to do EVERYTHING!! I mean EVERYTHING ( FEEL ME ) Even write with my left hand.
I’ve gained about 20% of my right peck, arm and hand back so far... _____

Thank GOD for the little things 🙏🏾 Disabled. But I’m not disabled!!! 🙏🏾 "

lol, many people who need a kidney do so from diabetes, smoking, being overweight, high BP, etc. All self created scenarios. At least Flex was great at something and not just a guy addicted to donuts who ruined his kidneys with excess sugar.

He had the best physique ever at the Arnold 93 so you can't take that away from.him

But like a dumb fuck he.sized up and ruined his perfect aesthetic

He was 213 of 216 there anyone know what he weighed later on stage?

Boyer coe and Francis benefetto also did the same dumb fucking thing

Gotta hand it to Paul Jean Gulliume though as he never chased this over size horseshit and kept his ace aesthetic

Flex treated me like shit, so fuck ‘im.

No, that’s too much.

I do feel sympathy for the guy, actually.

But he abused his body to an alarming degree. And as stated, his ridiculous return to competition smacked another one or two nails into his coffin.

His entire body is shutting down.

It’s terrifying shit.

However, too few people take serious note of examples like Wheeler and Coleman, and they think, It won’t happen to me.

The human body is a remarkably enduring machine, but each has its limit.

None of us know exactly what that limit is.

People have the misconception that he ruined his kidneys when he got bigger But in reality when he was around 220 ripped he already caused lots of stress in his kidneys... the extremely low body fat taxed out 93 /95 ... he was admitted to hospitals numerous occasions in his 20s ....  Weider never wanted his athletes to be vocal about their injuries let alone organs issues/heath ... but there are articles pictures from 30 years ago where Flex where lays with his lean beautiful aesthetically pleasing physique already fcked .

Crazy to think he has been dying for us for over 30 years ..... but true

Flex is hated for being the biggest Douche in BB history (even ahead of Ferrigno)...  So he brought everything to himself" HOWEVER...
Did he really abuse his body to an alarming degree more than guys like Gaspari and Levrone ?

Gaspari had the lowest BF of his era, striated glutes Olympia runner up at what 20? 21? lol
Levrone was runner up in his first Olympia 2 years prior he was not even a pro ...

They went the extra mile" meaning they were putting more drug/diuretics recklessly than the most ferocious fearless warrior ...
sure they're all illustrious BB hall of famers but in the end both Gaspari and Kevin just got luckier than Poor Flex.

I don't even remember what the specific disease he has (maybe it had something to do with artherosclerosis?) apart from the kidney issues, but he said the arms may go for the same reason the leg went.
And IIRC he amputated the leg mostly due to intractable pain, I don't think it was "dead" but I may be wrong.

I don't laugh at him, and wouldn't even call him a dumbass even if he was dumb. This fate is just horrible but I have some kind of admiration for him not killing himself and for taking the effort to get around some. And for still taking steroids lol. One thing he said was that at some points he was so heavily into opiates the docs said he will never ever get off them, impossible. But at the time of the DJ and Milos podcast a while back he said he'd been off them for a long time. So there's probably an incredible stubborness inside there lol.

Why didn't Flex get involved in supplements? He's only been hawking absolute shit, for example smilax drops ffs. All supps are somewhat fraudulent but there's proteins and aminos and a few choice items which aren't a total scam. Like Labrada's RTDs or whatever.

100% he did, He was using 2-3 times what Chris and Paul were using and his cycles  basically had no scientific strategy it was simply what he could afford and source, after guest posing on the weekend a crackheads approach to bodybuilding it was suicidal and he was always going to have issues, still a genetic freak but when you see genetics on that level along with dosages on that level its time to retire you simply can't compete with them or aspire too without adopting the same insane approach.

Before we formally “met”, I attended one of his seminars. Bob at MMI wanted me to pen a little piece in review for the mag.

This was in the first year or two of his professional standing.

Flex sat on a stool and talked for two hours about pre-contest water loss and his varying achievements of being dry.

Truly a ridiculous couple of hours.

Most pros have no idea about the intricacies of contest prep

Went to  Robbie Robisnson seminar years ago, someone asked him about protien and carb ratios and the digestive system using acids and alkalies to break down food.

He looked at her and said "Off season I use a big bowl and pre-contest I use a small bowl"

93 Arnold was the only time he really dialed in

Was always watery in the hams and glutes, that was possibly his kidneys already crying out for help.

Agree never got dry like that again as he tried to get bigger, IMO if he brought that physique at that weight to every Olympia besides Yates 93 he might have won one. He lost detail as he got bigger but not better. That Ironman look in 93 was jaw dropping in shape structure and detail. I only rate Yates 93 higher, I think 92 would have been close, Yates contest condition in person can never be under estimated though it made you look past his flaws post 93 as it was head to toe conditioning.

" In a attempt to save my right leg. A stent was put in my right peck that goes all the way down to my right leg.
Unfortunately the day after the emergency surgery the stent irrupted. Within seconds my right peck, shoulder and neck was full of Blood🩸 to the point were my neck was so swollen that I was losing consciousness due to not being able to breathe. My amazing doctors had to go in and do a emergency surgery to stop the blood loss. But due to me being on intravenous heparin ,
They had to wait 24 hours to make sure I wouldn’t bleed out. So I laid there screaming and hallucinating going in and out of consciousness. Due to the nerve damage and neuropathy. I lost full usage of my right peck, shoulder all the way down to my fingers. ( evidently blood and nerve endings/internal tissue don’t get along too well )

It wasnt a stent, it was a PTFE tube / bypass from his Axilla or Subclavian artery tunneled under his skin to his groin. Likely the anastomosis at his shoulder area let go, probably technical error, leading to massive hematoma /bleeding compressing nerves etc. Ultimately costing him his leg due to lacking circulation to his leg. There were / are other alternatives to fix his problem, can't be sure why they weren't performed. Sad
                                                                                                       

I had to learn how to do EVERYTHING!! I mean EVERYTHING ( FEEL ME ) Even write with my left hand.
I’ve gained about 20% of my right peck, arm and hand back so far... _____

Thank GOD for the little things 🙏🏾 Disabled. But I’m not disabled!!! 🙏🏾 "

He's in the zone for a new one, transplanted kidneys don't last forever. My experience from watching a few transplant bodybuilders / strength athletes over the years, 15-20 years seems to be the transplanted kidney's lifespan. Flex had his transplant in 2003.


A woman who works for me had one last 28 years. She just had another transplant about 3 years ago. It was genetics for her to have kidney problems, and she tries to be healthy which is why I assume her first one lasted so long.

Cormier supposedly said he's ok with synthol "if it's done like a woman using make up".  His side delts were suspect looking but he was still way better than Flex at the 1999 Olympia.

I've said this a few times

He played the size game and lost

Should have just stayed with shape as he had this in spades

And yep his shape was better when he was lighter

King Zane even played the size game in 82 and lost

He went up to 200 and nearly all of the that size went to his midsection as he focused on pin pulls to "thicken up" too bad it basically just thickened up his waist/midsection

The next year in 83 he came in at his lightest ever at 180 he won 78 and 79 at 187 or so

yeah I think he used in his delts and biceps at some point from what I can tell.

Ofcourse he looked way better before he did that like they all do. Oil never enhances a muscle imo, it just doesn't look right. I can't think of one case.

I don't think so. Ofcourse oil freaks like Bostin Loyd claimed that because it would make them feel better about themselves but no not true.

They all use oil, unfortunate but true. Okay, you may find one or two who look like there's nothing but overall it's "everyone."
The most common is the delts. I would say on average roughly a quarter of the delt is from scar tissie/oil and no one wants to give that up. Almost without fail when you look at close-ups of a pro pumping up backstage or training you can see it. If not in a pics then in movies.
Like you said, it's ugly and as soon as I see it it detracts, but many can't see it and many don't even care. Blacks always do the calves. Most everyone does the arms at least to some extent but the delts is almost 100%

you mean carrier oils from injecting a ton of gear or actual synthol?  because synthol stays in the muscle, doesn't dissapitate(it's meant to stay ofc)and causes all kinds of problems in the long run. There are studies about this. Necrosis of healthy tissue and what not.

But I mean if they Inject like 20+CC of gear in the delts that is alot of oil and will have a notable local swelling.

But yes I see some suspect side delts most notable last Olympia Hadis. Some others too but not as obvious.

There is no evidence that the oil (mct) doesn't dissipate. In fact many UG gear labs use MCT for their steroids because it's thin and supposedly easily dissipates. There are some ingredients in some of these oils to make it stay a little long, silica or collagen etc.

What I'm fairly positive about is that these site enhancement oils do is cause the muscle to produce massive amounts of scar tissue. That's the "permanent" part you see, although some of the size goes away once you stop. The sellers used to claim that once you stretched the facia with the oil the "empty" space would then fill up with real muscle, but most will now discount this theory.

Another factor to consider is how much oil you need to inject to create the Synthol effect. There are these plans on how to go about it on professionalmuscle. At some point you may be injecting like 9ml in biceps only per day, if I'm not mistaken (don't quote me on that) but my point is that you don't get these effects by mistake, it's hard work lol and most give up. Some don't get any effects regardless.
One bb by the name of Dusty Hanshaw claims he was able to create a lot of scar tissue in his triceps with Winstrol but that it didn't workfor his delts. Winstrol of course is a water based suspension, I think the crystals can cause some damage and the muscle responds with scar tissue. A heavyweight bb may use 20ml of more of gear per week but that's not enough to grow you arms and delts as much as these guys do, but sure, it may cause some "size" (damage) over the long term and everyone site injects, but for the pros it's mostly muscles like the lats, apart from the common ones.

So IMO almost all use and have used site enhancement oils in their delts in particular, because today you need delts where the rear delts can be seen from the front lol.

I have to comment on what joswift said, I haven't seen evidence nor heard of a possible mechanism whereby the kidneys could be damaged by medium chain triglycerides. If it was true you could damage your kidneys eating coconut oil.

What do you think about the "scar tissue hypothesis"?

Then there are the more temporary enhancements for shows:

I mean there could be, but I haven't seen a mechanism of how it could be toxic. I think instinctively there shouldn't be as it's not converted in the digestion process to something more benign, assuming something about it was toxic. There hasn't ever been a suggestion that any of the other carrier oils are toxic either, not that I've seen. Some the benzyl alcohol in all l injected steroids and Synthol is toxic, which it surely is but I don't know of it's a concern at such low doses, never seen any mention of it in the literature except speculation by forum posters.

I know, overly long posts by me over something so trivial  ;D

However this doesn’t mean anything to most people as most seem to have no intuition (like common sense isn’t common) and will do or take whatever doctor says and don’t listen to their own body.

I don't think so. The instinct for survival and keep living is just about the strongest instinct anyone has regardless circumstance.

Offing yourself is not normal. I don't know where you get this notion, maybe hanging around to many drug addicts(?)..  :D  Usually it happens because of something is wrong in the brain inherently or because brain chemistry changing because of drugs. I mean how many of the population does suicide. 1 in 10000 people? not even

I don't hang around any drug addicts, I don't even hang around any steroid users except my once a week training partner.
I actually don't know any suicides, maybe that in itself is uncommon, I don't know. HOWEVER, what I do know is common, and I'm sure you know many, is the slow suicide, where you descend into drug abuse and/or where you stop doing normal activities or socialising because you are so sick physically and then mentally. In the US you have the "deaths by despair" of the opioid epidemic. Once someone starts using heroin, isn't that a suicide? But basically, Flex seems to "get around" still and says he isn't using hard drugs, though "addicted" to roids in his own words lol. So I think a slow suicide isn't that uncommon in Flex's circumstances?

"They" always say suicides in western societies are increasing, though far from "normal" still...

Idk if addiction to drugs can be synonymous to suicide. I think often it's living in denial of the consequenses of the drugs, and alot of time accepting the risks involved.. We humans do alot of risky things because it makes us feel good. Some are addicted to adrenaline of fast cars, some climbing buildings, others doing drugs like coke and partying, because they feel good or change their mindset to be more fun and outgoing etc.. Alot of the harder drugs are for coping with a hard life i.e. numbing themselves. Idk but I don't think that's slow suicide in their mind but maybe.

You use steroids, is that slow suicide? Or is it just that you accepted the risks involved, because it's what makes you feel good?

btw. I was suprised you don't hang out with like more people in the "industry"/gym business, because how much you know about steroids/use it etc. But maybe people keep more to themselves especially getting older.

I read a book once and this guy called cigarettes the slowest form of suicide.

I don’t think it’s suicide and instead just an unhealthy coping mechanism.

Yeah. And throw in some ignorance/stupidity

but then again who am I to speak I started on some AAS. That certainly not improving my health long term.

but then again, I assessed the risk and thought it was worth it for looking a feeling better for a larger part of my life..

I'm an introvert by nature so I don't "hang out" with many people period  :D I've gotten to know people in the gym and then some competitors and so on but I'm mostly in the shadows lol. A couple of guys have tried make me start "bodybuilding guruing" but I'm like there's not that much to know and I'm not the guy who pretends there are "secrets" to this  :D
The whole "coaching" industry we see on social media is so much fake balonie, at least to me. But whatever...

You know how they say bodybuilding attracts fucked up people? It's true, and in my case too. I took too many risks with drugs because I was self destructive in a way. So steroids were not completely suicidal for me but there was a self-desrtuctive element for sure. Getbig is very aware of the fucked-uppedness of bodybuilding adjacent groups  :D

Drug use, things like coke can be something you do every now and then and could just as well leave it, at least to some. For some percentage it becomes a problem, I don't know how many percentage-wise. But it doesn't have to be a slow suicide. But I would say that if you take heroin, or the pharma equivalent oxycodone, you are probably in a bad place to start. Because you know beforehand how it can fuck you up. My training partner and myself took some tramadol and then he said he could get some oxycodone, but I was like do you really trust yourself with it? Probably not he said lol. We decided it wasn't worth the risk. I mentioned the opioid epidemic in the US in my post, that devastated whole towns, and "they" link it to loss of industry and jobs and generally poor prospects in life. In these cases it probably isn't just chasing kicks, it's probably that you've given up in a sense but you don't want/dare to end it immediately. Maybe? If anyone else has a different perspective on why people abuse pain killers I want to hear it. Of course there is the % that is addicted through legitimate Rx's but apart from those.

Lartinos mentioned cigarettes... now that is a fucked up thing to start nowadays. Talk about bad risk vs reward ratio. Thankfully it seems like cigarette use had gone down a lot. Now it's the vaping, I don't know if it's a big "problem" society should worry about, probably not. Australia will now ban all the flavored vapes I read.

Anyway, just some thoughts. But very obvious ones I think. 8)

Just keep tabs on your blood pressure and I think the risk is pretty small. In some small contexts steroids do not HAVE TO shorten life nowadays, I don't think. Though most steroid shitfluencers do admit all steroid use above HRT is destructive, even if by a very small amount. Probably, maybe lol, then again maybe not, maybe that fall/hip fracture in old age doesn't kill you because you're strong due to the drugs...  ;D

It's part of Human nature - The seed's of self destruction are within us all,
To a Greater or lesser extent - we all have our vices good or bad.

If folks flat out abuse different drugs then the % of dying earlier than you
would've rises - clearly many think it's a risk worth taking.

using very hard drugs that clearly fuck people up quickly is beyond me,
We never see anyone who's been using Heroin / Crack etc for a while
looking healthy & good.

Watched a podcast with B Chavez and some Australian guy and they that using 5-7 grams of gear for kilo is rather harmless as far as blood readings Thier clients had on these doseage levels

They said 10 or more mgs per kilo is when things start to go downhill and become unhealthy

No I get it. Im more reserved too. Alot of people on message boards are(loner types) I think otherwise we wouldnt sit and write long posts, venting to people we don't even know real well or irl  :D But, I can find more relatable people on the internet so that's my excuse, well aside from being a fcked up loner type. But anyways I used to go to gyms and found some friends there. But lost contact with them now, located to new city because kids/house etc. I should start going to gyms again meet more likeminded, stopped going to gyms after covid, have my home gym only. Probably can't relate to them anyways but it's fun in a way when you start getting to know people in the local gym.. Doesn't matter much but fun to have some training partners that are in to the same bs.Not that Im super serious about this it's just that I can't really find something im that interested in/other hobbies, lol

Anyways, on a completly different note I have a question for you, I read on flashback there's alot of police busts(razzias ) going on now. Do you know about that? because I  needed to order some AI and other stuff(beginnig gyno) and I guess not a good idea right now then. Do you even order online or do you have other connects?

There's always talk about raids and you occasionally hear about cops testing gym goers. I think steroid raids probably aren't proritised in the big cities with gang activity. I don't buy gear online, I've been lucky to still know a couple of guys who get stuff IRL. I don't recommend anything but I wouldn't sweat ordering AIs at all. They aren't classified like that, you just can't sell them, but nothing can happen to you if you buy these types of drugs. There's also these EU laws that say if something is legal in one EU country it's legal in all, which means you can order a bunch of "drugs" which can't be sold in Sweden but which are legal to buy. You have tons of UK and EU supplement shops selling "pro-hormones" like Superdrol and I wouldn't worry about ordering them, at worst they just confiscate it. My buddy said there's some Swedish sites now selling very cheap Cialis and Viagra as well as cheap GH. We want to order but who of us will learn to buy with crypto? I haven't set it up yet lol.

So if I found a Swedish or EU site selling Arimidex or Letrozole or Tamoxifen I wouldn't hesitate, but that's just me. But I prefer the ease of just using a credit card. As long as it's not controlled as narcotics or AAS, no worry.

Yes that is very noticable in all aspects with crime, all crime are downprioritized because of the massive problems they have with immirgrant/non white crime/gangs. But still when they have things that is easy for them to do because of tools they have to their disposal they will use it from time to time(maybe just to better their statistics in an easy way  :D ). Interesting with the EU law thing. Wasn't aware of that.

Btw. Buying with crypto is easy as hell, don't be hesitant of that. Naturally it's better than your credit card online because it's much harder to trace the transaction to you incase police wants investigate(small chance anyways maybe). But try start with a small order of 500sek or whatever just to try it.. Create a user on "Safello"- on there just transfer money from your visa/whatver cc, to your crypto wallet on safello. When you purchase on the steroid webwite you will recieve a crypto wallet code, the sellers wallet, and you just tranfer the amount in crypto. Safello takes a small fee so that has to be accounted for by you. Also use the Tor browser and encrypted mail like proton to shop on those sites.

Thanks, you make it sound easy lol. I've started to read a few guides on how to do it but always give up because it looks so complicated. I don't really care about absolute anonymity, not with PEDs, but supposedly there's still ways to do that with crypto but you have to transfer funds between wallets or whatever.

As long as I don't ran var dbol and drol at the same time

Still waiting on vigorous Steve deep dive on deca

Come on man, what's he gonna say that's going to change anything for us? ;D You know me I've been thinking about this shit altogether too much, but I "always" knew that no matter what someone discovers about these compounds it's unlikely to fundamentally change how we use them. More drugs = more effects, there's not going to be some better dosing scheme for better results. That's why I just can't watch all these videos, there's not going to be anything new  ;D 8)

There must be some way for you to view Instagram there. Google it or something. There's this fella named "Jordon Oakley" who is just a bro but is right more than wrong and who calls out all these fools lol.

Plenty of scientific articles online that report about serious heart risks due to steroid use:

https://www.ergo-log.com/cardiovascular-side-effects-of-steroids.html

The site has many excellent articles on heart damage and steroid use:

https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-7117181179885591:4103325817&ie=UTF-8&q=heart&sa=Search&ref=www.ergogenics.org/#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=heart%20steroids

I think we all want simple slogans and "facts" and doctors say them too even though they know it's more nuanced. Falco 100% positively knows all that you reference, he won't argue, I'm pretty positive.  8)

I think comparatively and relatively to many other drugs and cigs steroids are fairly safe especially in the short run which doesn't mean they can't and won't cause real problems  8)

You really think more is always better?

Some say test tops put at 1.25 grams or so after that it doesn't really do anything more

There's gotta be an optimum dose where you get the most results with the least sides and if you go past that point the results are.much less and tue sides become more ch greater

Optimal brother not more is better but... PRECISE IS BEST 😎😎😎

Hehe we've debated this endlessly already, but to elaborate even further, by "more effects" I meant both positive and negative effects. It's always a case of weighing positives against the sides so yes there can be an optimal dose so to speak. But what I'm getting at is that it's unlikely Vig Steve can tell you where your optimal is, you've already done all the different doses so you know how you respond.

I think we already agreed that after a certain dose you don't get much more out of increasing further so it's close to useless even if there is a tiny bit more effect. Maybe you're referring to what I posted a while back about some forum fella saying that test anabolism probably tops out at about 1500mg/week? The guy claimed that if you looked at the data from the test studies some statistitian could predict the positive effect should top out thereabouts. I have NO idea if the guy is right but he seems pretty sharp.

So I think we are maybe thinking about minutiae that has no practical relevance  ??? :D I'm pretty positive no bodybuilder will improve by worrying about all this.  8)

EDIT: furthermore I think it's the exact same with lifting. You can theorise to no end but more "science" is unlikely to change how we actually lift best. Even if we find a tiny bit more optimal routine it will not change our approximate development limit, at best it might get us there faster. Like the insufferable Victor Black says, there's absolutely nothing new of relevance in bodybuilding since at least 30 years. Many getbiggers have always said the same. And again, like always lol, I hope I'm not coming across as lecturing or as if I think I always know best, it's just my personal opinion and may not be worth much. 8)

So I see your a big fan of big Vic black 😂😂😂

Your good buddy vig Steve said var tops out at 25 mgs and and trens optimal dose is ,25 mgs per week of bodyweight in kg so for a 100 kg fella that is 25 mgs tren PER WEEK not per day he said it's anabolism falls off at that dose and then it just becomes much more androgenic

They did a study on var doseage and found that  40 mgs is almost as good as 80 mgs which was only a very small increase but they found that 40 was a good deal better than 20

Drols optimumal dose is 100 and 150 is not much better like var with 40 Vs 80

I shouldn't doubt you, but Vig really said he ran tren at 25mg a week and it's really effective? And optimal dose is at that range too? That's wild. I'm too lazy and I don't want to suffer through his videos to check but if you say so ok. But I mean Parabolan was prescribed at like 76mg every 10 days (50mg pure tren discounting the fatty ester).

From memory I think 100mg drol wasn't even much better than 50mg, and caused higher liver enzymes, but like always there's limitations to studies, I think that one was in geriatric 65+ year olds lol. I have no doubt most of the effects are seen at lower doses but things may be a bit different in bodybuilders using a lot of other drugs like GH at the same time. I ran a lot of Dianabol only cycles when I was young and for me it seemed like it mostly topped out at 50-60mg a day, I didn't seem to gain more by tripling it.

He.did some calculations based on all the studies on it he came across and he said that number/calculation is the tipping point and after that most the anabolic effects are gone and the androgenic effects take over but who the hell can shoot 3 mgs of tren a day, its impossible to measure out in a 100 ml slin pin

I remember I wrote a long post for you on how easy it is to dose very low, you simply dilute it  :D On another forum some do enhanced-trt or sports-hrt with very low daily doses, for example 10-15mg test with 5mg trestolone daily and they claim they can feel even 5mg of tren or trest when compared to just physiological test doses such as 10mg of test enanthate a day. 8)

But for a guy who used to do 2.5 grams of test with other stuff added, I don't know man...

I think they all work for us, it's just that we prefer some because they make us feel a certain way. Like I told you, we weren't impressed with Winstrol but I think it would still "work."

You told me Vig said he gained X amount of muscle on some tiny dose but it's just very hard to know what that scale fluctuation consists of, even if you did a DEXA scan or whatever. I took one cap of MK677 for the past 5 days and I was shocked that I'm 10lbs heavier, would probably register as lbm...

I'm not positive but somehow I think sides like the notorius "Winstrol joint pain" is often imaginary, a placebo effect. I remember Milos said he never got joint pain nor had he ever heard anyone complain of it either, it was news to him, lol. I don't recall anyone complain of it pre-internet. But okay, it's quite possible it can cause joint pain but a lot of the time people feel certain things because they are looking for it. Newbies paranoid about bitch tits think they may be feeling nipple itchiness, but they can't be sure, then they post pics of their nipples on forums asking if they are puffy lol.

Prince blamed the Advil which he claimed he took handful of for years. That's not an outrageous theory, they really are kidney toxic especially when overdosed. But I bet the high blood pressure from gear probably played a big role too. Back then no pro took any blood pressure medication, they thought you couldn't bodybuild while taking them and they were for already sick people.

His bestie Chicherillo thought in was the Nubain which wrecked him but Chic was no druggie as far as I know so didn't understand the toxicity of different drugs, the bain probably was a nonissue. But I remember some saying Tom took speedballs even before workouts, like coke and oxy or whatever and coke is bad for the vascular system obviously.

Go see an urologist. Can be many different things. Avoid delaying professional help, usually it doesn't fixes itself.

As early as 1995 Flex's health was shitting to bed. He had to pull out of the 1995 San Jose Pro due to health issues. If he gave up back then would he have been better off? Who knows.  Mike Francois won the show and 2 years later he was done

If Guy Cisternino's offer of a spare wasn't a match, then yes

His longevity and his genetics to withstand copious amounts of gear is very poor! His poor judgement doesn’t help either

Meanwhile, Shawn Ray and Kevin are living pretty good, same with cutler from that era

That scene in the Robocop remake was great.

Flex just needs to STFU and hop down to Auto Zone and pick himself up a top-of-the-line oil filter and jimmy the fucker into place, through a carefully made incision.

Francois seems to be living a decent “functional “ life
Flex is probably in worse health than we could possibly imagine.

Prince blamed the Advil which he claimed he took handful of for years. That's not an outrageous theory, they really are kidney toxic especially when overdosed. But I bet the high blood pressure from gear probably played a big role too. Back then no pro took any blood pressure medication, they thought you couldn't bodybuild while taking them and they were for already sick people.

His bestie Chicherillo thought in was the Nubain which wrecked him but Chic was no druggie as far as I know so didn't understand the toxicity of different drugs, the bain probably was a nonissue. But I remember some saying Tom took speedballs even before workouts, like coke and oxy or whatever and coke is bad for the vascular system obviously.

when ever i start having side effects i dont like while on my stack i always blame the steroid i like the least...

I always thought the advil story was overexaggerated copium.

Prince admitted to spending at least $15k a year on nubain/opiates alone. Took shots every 2-3 hours on average. In his own words (recreational use aside) it obviously helped him tremendously with his joints.

Im not a doctor, so I have zero understanding of the clinical intricacies of chronic pain management in opiate addicts -- specifically, symptomatic pain reduction in patients with a built-up tolerance to opioid painkillers -- but did Thomas really need 32×200mg ibuprophen + celecoxib everyday on top of his undisclosed heavy opiate use as he claimed in mid-2000s BB magazines ?

Prince should've been throwing up blood with a perforated stomach abusing NSAIDs for so long whithout proton pump inhibitors.

In 2012, while he was still recovering at the hospital from his transplant, the docs did a biopsy of the fresh graft and when the results came back, Prince was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Again, Im no nephrologist, so I wonder whether it was an innate or acquired disease.

The new kidney only lasted about 2,5 years.
