I don't wanna be an a*hole but honestly, I don't feel too bad for the guy. The fact that he's still alive is among the biggest miracles in medical history.

The dude has been playing "Final Destination" with the Grim Reaper for at least 25 years by now... ;D

Only just started watching the thing, but I've noticed something about a lot of people who do vids - the more 'professional' ones look into the camera, so it feels like they are talking to you.  But the vain ones like this fella are looking away at another screen that shows their face.  A bit like on Zoom or Teams (wot dey?) where nobody looks at each other

FWIW I've noticed our own Vince often looks at the camera, so he's better at this than Bravo  ;D



Edit:  so I watched it now - complications of initial attempt to remove gall bladder leading to 'infected'? pancrease, E Coli internal and pneumonia.  IV anti-biotics, lasix and pain relief

Hmm... if he fights it off without needing a ventilator he'll be fine - if not...

I think he is a pretty entertaining guy and I hope he pulls through.

I don’t think he ever admitted what was in his arms or why he did it as I think he was a pretty legit BB at one point.

He’s taking that one to the grave it seems; hopefully later than sooner but it isn’t looking good.

I never cared for the guy. I especially hated when he made the talk show circuit and said his arms were the result of steroids and never once mentioned his synthoil insanity. His bullshit stories always struck me as just bullshit stories. Probably barely a shred of truth to any of it.

I wish him good health. When someone abuses their health for appearance they are responsible. Hope he has a positive outcome. He should give up oil, steroids, anti estrogens, HCG, insulin and GH. When he gets out of the hospital he should go for long walks and short runs. He should lift for endurance. You have to put the odd of good health in your favor.

Greg can be entertaining and I have nothing against him. In the last couple years I noticed he was trying to keep the BBer look even as he got older. It’s hard to change our self perception but we must be like water. We need to be pliable and bend like a palm in the wind and not break.

Actually it's not "obviously" Synthol. I think it's something else, but my why conceal it. At the time back then many had not heard of differen't site enhancement products so he wanted to use his explanation for a while. Then after a while going back on his story can't be done.

It's pathetic that anyone hasn't found an explanation in so many years. At the early days Chad Nicholls believed they were implants of some sort. "No way is that Synthol, that's way more than what can be achieved!" I think it's some type of oil that is mixed with something that retains in the body for a long time. They say the Brasilians use "motor oil" but that sounds retarded even for Valentino.

I don't think they were implants because they shrank and grew over time. Rich Piana had implants in his forearms and it was obvious that those "muscles" were different from the PMMA and oil muscles.

They say the Brasilians use "motor oil" but that sounds retarded even for Valentino.

Just so Gregg's version is covered here, he always claimed it was oil from massive testosterone and Equipoise injections, injected straight into the biceps. That, plus a fascia stretching program. In his book, he does go on and on that yes there is oil in his biceps, but claims it's just massive site injections. He never gives any amounts, just that it was Test and Eq.

I can't figure it out. All those guys were friends with Bruce Nadler, and he was at one point toying with the idea of slow, small, silicone injections, with the hope that it would be encapsulated by the muscle. Maybe Gregg tried that out.

Edit: He mentions dosing here - https://forums.t-nation.com/t/the-most-hated-man-in-bodybuilding/285194 .

"I did a lot of Testosterone. I did about 3000 mg of Test per week. I love Testosterone and I love Equipoise. The Test I did was mostly propionate. Once in a while I would do enanthate and I would always keep it with Equipoise. I’d probably do, oh God… I would do a shot every other day. I wouldn’t worry about the amount of oil; I would worry about the amount of drug. Over the course of a week, I take 3,000 mg of Test and probably put in 400 to 500 mg of Equipoise. Remember, that’s 15 mg shots. So that would be about 10 CC’s of EQ over a week’s period. I would do shoulders, triceps, and biceps."

Just so Gregg's version is covered here, he always claimed it was oil from massive testosterone and Equipoise injections, injected straight into the biceps. That, plus a fascia stretching program. In his book, he does go on and on that yes there is oil in his biceps, but claims it's just massive site injections. He never gives any amounts, just that it was Test and Eq.

I can't figure it out. All those guys were friends with Bruce Nadler, and he was at one point toying with the idea of slow, small, silicone injections, with the hope that it would be encapsulated by the muscle. Maybe Gregg tried that out.

Edit: He mentions dosing here - https://forums.t-nation.com/t/the-most-hated-man-in-bodybuilding/285194 .

"I did a lot of Testosterone. I did about 3000 mg of Test per week. I love Testosterone and I love Equipoise. The Test I did was mostly propionate. Once in a while I would do enanthate and I would always keep it with Equipoise. I’d probably do, oh God… I would do a shot every other day. I wouldn’t worry about the amount of oil; I would worry about the amount of drug. Over the course of a week, I take 3,000 mg of Test and probably put in 400 to 500 mg of Equipoise. Remember, that’s 15 mg shots. So that would be about 10 CC’s of EQ over a week’s period. I would do shoulders, triceps, and biceps."

Interesting... seems plausible.

Yeah, but we would have never heard of him had he not become a freak. Same with Rich Piana.

It's positively not just steroid oils. Even if he took 30 grams a week of steroids. His resemble the idiotic Brazilians. It's not implants, not symmetric, nor is it the common Synthol. Some dont even get anything at all from liberal Synthol. He put something in there that was really resistant to breakdown, like the Brazilians. Or the Russian kid.

Dorian said Ernie Taylor didn't use any Synthol but that was just a semantic word play. Who cares if the bottle was Synthol branded or not.

Ernie always claimed Prop shots in his triceps and biceps

Ridiculous

Lots of guys used prop for the inflammation reaction and also lots of eq to swell the muscle. EQ was 50mg/ml. But if Dorian wants to be exact Ernie used Pump n’ Pose (synthol)

There was another synthol on the market that had lidocaine and like a filler. Crazy times.

There have been a few, the base was always MCT oil. There was silica, I suppose for the staying power of the oil, some had collagen, said to cause massive amounts amounts of scar tissue, painkillers. But I've shot plenty of steroid oils and that gave me no synthol-like gains. Even synthol is something you really have to pound very hard and accept the pain. Most give up. So Valentino's couldn't have even  been MCT oil, there is more.

You can play the sematic game with Ernie but I wouldn't say that those results are just from steroid oils, it's MCT at the least. Later tried to "jimmy up" his teardrops and what not, to bad result.

Bostin had like 4 different "posing oils" from 1-4 and none had any ingredients listed. So how would you know which to choose? Ridiculous.
I think Palumbo still sells the Pump N Pose, Chris Clark design.

One of his pupils is chronically dilated which makes that eye sensitive to light.

Yeah. That’s it, silica and collagen. Lots of people don’t realize that the injections had to be super deep.
