The Gerry ''Synthol " Blais Story

[chess315]

Really this guy doesn't look bad a bon bodybuider wouldnt think shit about it other than big ass arms he truly isn't that bad if he would have stopped a hair sooner.

Looks like "The Situation" at a 30 year anniversary for MTV's The Jersey Shore.

Again, yes, for 36 years. Better person than most everyone on this site (I'm sure there's a few amazing people here out of the thousands), whats the problem?
Im sure you dont have any of your own hang-ups? Or do things to your body? 

Nah, you're just a perfect human.  (no such thing).

Answer Be There's question. Have you told your friend how stupid he looks?

Answer Be There's question. Have you told your friend how stupid he looks?

Have you watched his YouTube videos?  I watched a few of them.  Seems to me that he gets a fair amount of compliments based on his arms...he didn't say that, but he eluded to people asking him questions about training that would suggest to me that they caught on to something leading them to believe Gerry is an expert - my assumption would be the arms.

So yeah, that's why he does it.

Does he look stupid?  To us on Getbig, with an eye for bodybuilding, yes.  The arms at least.  To others?  Layman?  Those who do not work out?  His arms probably look massive at rest - as if they belonged to Arnold.  I do not know that the average person sees his arms as looking stupid.  So that is probably what motivated him to look like that.

What makes you think normal people - many of whom literally haven't lifted a weight in their entire existence - would see his arms at rest and immediately know something is off?  Even if that photo on this page, his arms look bad to us - but do they look anything as obviously bad as the contest photos?

There are way worse examples of synthol out there...or implants, assuming they are implants.  He has a personal training business/studio, right?  Do you think he's making that up?  How do you suppose he gets clients?  Obviously there are some people who believe his arms are legit.  What I'm saying is that there are normal people who do not work out who are impressed with his arms.  Something made him get to that point, right?  So what was it?

I think you may be projecting your bodybuilding expertise a little here...

I'm going with Be There on this. Regular folks know what's up with those arms. They might not know the proper diagnosis, but they know something's wrong. Most folks understand proportion, and can pick up when the lines are oddly off.

total morons which includes all his clients, only a total moron would pay this joker for advice.

a guy who walks around like that you have to wonder not about what his perception of himself is, its that does he really believe that people look at him with anything other than derision, its like a wig wearer FFS,they really believe they are fooling people with the ginger squirrel on their fucking heads.

Don’t buy the above argument altogether. Guy looks pretty good for 50. Hair style is not high on my list but it’s youthful. And put him in a booth at an expo, there would be a line of fan boys with no derision going on. And if he were like some others we’ve heard about (which he isn’t) he could probably make some money with those arms behind closed doors. It’s the whole bodybuilding scene that is as weird as he is.

BIO
About 36 years ago I began my journey that takes me to this day. My story's
beginning is very much like most young kids today. I was the shy quiet, artistic
kid in school that got bullied daily. Fortunately for me, my parents blessed me
with some incredible genetics. I got so good at running from the mean kids I
became extremely fast. They could never catch me. I loved that powerful feeling
of pushing my limits. Eventually, a few bullies caught up with me and knocked me
around. I went home upset and started throwing around some weights in my
basement that my little brother never used. I remember my very first workout. I
was hooked.....I was addicted! I grew like a weed! In school I participated in some sports but only to complement my weight
training. I would do sports after school and go to work immediately after. When
I would get home from work i would lift weights for hours. I should note that I
rode my pedal bike to and from work (work was 10 miles from home).YES, I was a
little excessive :)After graduating high school, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Because of my constant attention to detail, I was immediately noticed by the
Drill Instructors and they gave me the task of the prestigious "Guide"(in charge
of the other recruits)I graduated top of my class as "Honor Man" and was meritoriously promoted. I got to wear those Dress Blues on graduation:)
     During my 4 incredible years in the Marine Corps I began competing in  bodybuilding and Powerlifting events. I won my first contest. I was now hooked again on an even higher level. I started helping other Marines with weight
training and contest prep. It was the beginning of decades of personal training. It was my purpose. I could feel it flowing through my veins like fire. I enjoyed guiding people to their best. After my honorable discharge from the Military, I dedicated 20 plus years to
competing in bodybuilding and personal training. Over these past two decades I've personally achieved some proud accomplishments such as the overall winner of the 2001 New England Bodybuilding Championships, as well as being a National
level competitor. I’ve been hired by famous actors, actresses, radio personalities, professional athletes but more important I've had the great honor
of training THE Most incredible people(regular, normal people) I've ever known. This past 36 years has been a blessing. The opportunities I have been honored to bestow are without words. I started writing a book several years ago. I hope to
someday complete it. It would quite an interesting read to say the least.If you’ve ever seen me in town or beating clients up in our studio here you
may be a little apprehensive to meet me....but honestly....I'm that same little shy, artistic kid from 36 years ago. The only difference is that playground is MY playground now and I’m the one kicking butt....in a good way!

He's so out of touch with reality that it's a mental illness.....

Sorry Matt, but I have to disagree with you ....... I’m with ‘Be there’ on this one.

I showed this pic to my laymen coworkers who don’t work out and they agreed Gerry’s arms look retarded. They asked if he had “put woman’s breast implants into his arms?” (Quote) They found Jose Raymond to look beastly huge ....but at least “real”.

Gerry may be a nice guy in person (although clearly Jersey shore material) .... but I am astounded anyone pays him to be their trainer. In fact I’m left speechless.
