Gregg should just kill himself!! srs

[muscularny]

How can expect people to believe he is authentic Italian if in that whole 10 minute rant he didn't grab his balls once? Capisce?

[TestDummy]

Damn it's hard to listen to him talk.  Anyway I believe what he said about the synthol, people who use that have to inject it like every day, he's not giving himself like 20 shots a day of that shit for all these years

Should join Piana and his crew.

Gregg & I were hanging out at Piana's booth at the Arnold and it was the place to be. And I agree that Gregg and Piana are a great match.

Having seen what most their loser fans look like, it was the place to be if you wanted to be surrounded by a bunch of dipshits. They don't even make eye contact, just a lame ass handshake, pound, take a selfie then fuck off. Wow, very up close and personal, how significant that "moment" must have been and how forgettable of a moment.

Is this how fans show their "love" now? Pathetic. The lack of eye contact with this generation while greeting or even talking is weak. Very weak.

This guy is the biggest liar going. He claims a "bat" caused a hematoma? No, repeated injecting into one's arms nicking a blood vessel causes hematomas. MuscleMag ran a photo of this douchebag and he had bandaids on his one tricep. He had so much oil packed into those muscles that he needed a bigger gauge needle like 20 or 18 to keep injecting the type of volume he was.

Hematoma caused by nicking blood vessel...not bat.




STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Nails]

i bet that fucker smells

[ATHEIST]

he's actually a very entertaing guy, synthol or not, I don't know. But he had a good physique back in the day. And can't blame him for not promoting himself.

[Fallsview]

He probably has to rub deodorant where his forearm meets his bicep because of the sweat issue plus the lint build up.



STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He had an average gym rat's physique. Hell, those guys who do bar work had better phyisques. He claimed to have a 21 inch arm, I think he said before steroids.
The dude is a mental case who wants attentions. He gets off on being around real bodybuilders because he could never hack it to actually get to that level.

now, he must've had trouble wiping his arse

If he is admitting that he did site injections with juice, then why is that such a stretch? It's basically the same shit as shooting synthol, except that synthol doesn't have any AAS in it.

Gregg isn't trying to say he never injected into his arms, but rather just clarifying what the substances were or weren't.

You should face a firing squad for allowing him to push such bullshit...

[SuperTed]

Valentino is full of shit.

So are you saying that shooting test into your arms would not have the same effect as synthol?

Exactly, GV is a funny, cool, entraining dude, but he loses me, when talking of his arms.
 
The fact is the man injected God knows what crap into his arms until they sprung a leak.
His video starts with some saying about haters being jealous...really?

I like GV, the man, and he  started with a decent physique many years ago.
BUT, no serious competitive bodybuilder would be jealous of his absurd looking body after he injected all that crap into his guns.

Give GV credit as he rode that ramblin' freak persona to become a minor celeb in the world of hardcore bodybuilding.
Had he not gone to extremes nobody would know him now or care what he says.
He'd have ended up like me, some over 50 douche , who used to compete and won a Mr Podunk back in the day...no big deal, nobody cares.
 
Make no mistake, I'm grateful I got an education , stable career and finally got the ideal wife .
BUT, I never was anything unique or special in bodybuilding. Love him or hate him, GV went for it. He did some crazy, insane stuff  that blew his arms to absurd looking proportions. For whatever reason, he tapped into something within the hardcore crowd with his  Ramblin' Freak personality.

I sincerely wish GV a happy and healthy life.

Gregg helped bring bbing down a couple hundred notches. Whatever credibility it may have had, he helped lose it.

It's always the ones that want attention, who have no talent, that wind up doing the outrageous just to get the attention.

He wasn't a freak, he was an abomination.

So are you saying that shooting test into your arms would not have the same effect as synthol?

Are you saying that synthol and test would have the same effect if shot into your arms?

[Joe Pietaro]

Both synthol & oil-based AAS will stretch the fascia and stay in the area for days. The hormone gets absorbed quicker (with a faster acting esther, much quicker), but the oil will remain, albeit only for a few days. Synthol (with it's MCT base) will remain slightly longer than sesame seed or grape seed oil (commonly used in test), but you have to do it over and over on a regular basis either way.

The first batch of what is commonly known as synthol actually contained AAS and a guy by the name of Trevor Smith has been recognized as the go-to guy for info on synthol and site injections. Here is a cut and paste from an interview that he did in 2000:

AE: Many bodybuilders are under the belief that localized injections of steroids will produce the same affect as a site enhancement oil. What are your feelings on this?

Trevor: This is absolutely true. Obviously only with oil based products though. I mean, it isn’t going to be bad to site inject say winstrol , in fact there is some indication as it might actually have localized effects on muscle growth along with systemic effects. But you are not going to get the tissue spreading and lifting effect that you will get with the oils.

To me, the smart bodybuilder uses only the calves, biceps, triceps, or delts when injecting their gear. Why bother shooting into your ass, unless you are looking to have an ass the size of a ****ing Rhino, which without naming names one freaky east coast amateur’s ass actually looks like….a ****ing Rhino’s! I was watching the 1998 USA’s and couldn’t believe what I was looking at when this guy turned around. Sure it was shredded to the bone, but his ass looked like Ronnie Coleman’s and Marcus Ruhl’s put together. What good is weighing 270-280lbs. on stage if 20 of it is in your ass, right?

The only thing one needs to understand is that you cannot and should not be injecting 5ml of gear into various body parts every day. You will get the same lifting action from putting 3ml of oil-based cypionate as you would putting 3ml of Site Enhancement Oil Plus. However, the sesame seed oil in the cypionate will get metabolized faster than the Site Enhancement Oil Plus, which contains more than just oil.

having done synthol and gear, would say it would take many more pokes of gear to get the same results. Won't say it's impossible, but would be a hell of a task to do.

If that's the case, say it's true, why don't all pro's do this, why do we see weak points? They use enough gear to validate this theory to fill in any weak muscle, yet chose not to.

That is my brological explanations to say that no, it does not work and you can't look the way Valentino did using just gear. Would need to know exact number of cc's he did, over how much time to even perhaps consider that being true.

[WalterWhite]

Valentino is full of shit oil.

Fixed

Gregg says that he dumped whole bottles (10 cc) of test into his arm all of the time. He never used a 3cc pin without filling it all the way.

Here's the link to that whole thread I gave a piece of above. It has a great interview all about this exact topic:

will check that out, but 10 is not that much per arm when it comes to site enhancement! So 2 bottles or 2gram of prop a day, 14gr week is not seeming very realistic, anyway, will read that before further commenting, think I've read it before...
