I've got some pics of me and Mike stashed somewhere. I gotta go look. Mike has that tiny head, which in turn makes his body look even bigger.
It's hard not to just keep staring at his insane calves when you are around him. These days? Not so much. His calves are still huge, but he is a LOT smaller.
As far as Synthol, I'm pretty sure it was more of a site-injection thingy. It looked like he used the same spot over and over. I actually have some pics that show big-azz purple welts on both biceps and triceps that look like nasty spider bites. Either way, he injected deep enough into the muscle that he didn't have that bulbous (like that word?)- swollen, blurry red look that so many guys have from only tapping the surface.
It's pretty scary shit. I think a few of the "smarter"(?) Pro BB's would have someone who was knowledgeable (like a doctor-ish type) of person do the deep injections. That way you could push the muscle up from deep inside and NOT hit any arteries (whatever) or nerves.
For awhile there, some of the Amateur shows were getting pretty stupid with the Synthol surface delt injections. I mean, these guys would literally walk out on stage with sharp points on the lateral heads of their delts. It was so obvious it was almost embarrassing.
Then there's the monthly pics of Greg the Dipshit Valvolino posting up every month in MD as if that type of thing is cool...
Whatevah.
