ROFLMAO, you guys make me laugh.
Firstly: Mike doesn't use synthol. You guys are too much. You talk about how he makes a piss poor living as a trainer and then think he shoots himself up with enough steroids that he should look like a pro, laugh at him because he doesn't and then accuse him of synthol. <shaking my head> Could it be that he held a lot of fat in his midsection and not a whole lot in his arms and delts. Let me answer that for you all because I know as I live with him...it is. Look at his old pictures. He ALWAYS had large round delts and good size arms.
Secondly: those pictures are made from two different cameras. The "clearer" one is our canon digital camera. The "blurry" one is from his camera phone.
Lastly: you guys really need to get a life. Like another member said, Mike does this for hobby. He never claimed that he was a pro or even close to a pro. He never even said he was aiming to be one. It's really sad that you all have absolutely nothing better to do than to just sit back and rip apart others on a message board (without even so much as offering up one of your own pictures for comparison. But then again...who would believe it was you right?). Why don't you go to the gym and work on obtaining the physique that keeps you glued to a bodybuilding board instead of always hating on people. You guys are like the bullies of the school yard and will inevitably end up like they all do.
