I don't think so it is known to actually kill muscle cells and cause muscular atrophy as it restricts blood flow some guys would never be willing to do that. Sure they risk their life trying all kinds of weird stuff to make their muscles grow but some would never deliberately take a substance known to cause muscular atrophy especially into their prized arms it just doesn't make sense. Everyone who uses it winds up look like shit later with deflated oil arms. They didn't know that was going to happen in the 90's people know better now they can see what happened to the people who used it.
They don't give a shit about killing the muscle in the long run. The point made earlier in this thread, how the asses are all striated but no one has delt detail is valid, made by many, including some competitors themselves.
I'd like to know more about the damage the needle itself can do over time. You are making a hile but maybe it doesn't matter much unless extreeme. I mean diabetics get lipodystrophy if they don't rotate sites constantly but that is fat tissue. I mean there are treatments where poking a muscle with a needle is supposedly good for injured muscle or whatever.
