He broke the record for the biggest arms in the world. He injected roids straight into his arm muscles.

Here's an article and interview with him....

Yea, I know who he is. I saw him on T.V. when he got arrested. I think he was using synthol. That's what some bodybuilders use to inject in the site that they want to get a permanent pump. Its some kind of(oil) fatty acid.

Man, steroids are never good. I know steroids that act as hormones can actually cause chronic muscle growth stagnation. Ironic, isn't it? Lol.

Imagine that guy giving you a hug tho! XD

I'm surprised he didn't kill himself with that stuff. The sport of bodybuilding is dying off anyways.

Greg Valentino is actually a pretty smart guy and was natty for 20+ years but he was dumb for injecting a needle after it fell on the ground. I never even knew it was possible to have such muscle insertions that he has.

Funny prank call some Miscer did to Planet Fitness:

He was dumb for injecting... period. Its nothing new. 99.9% of pros do some kind of drug. No one is clean.

That guys is ugly as hell. Why do people think that's a good idea? The guy looks like he's got huge tumors in his arms or something.

Just because you don't agree with a someone's decisions, doesn't make them dumb. He knew the consequences and what he was getting himself into.

People who do inject and take enhancers, could say to people who don't 'Your dumb for not using it'. A smoker could say to someone who doesn't smoke 'If you don't smoke, your dumb'.

Everybody has a different goal in life. Some people don't want to live a long and boring life working at a cubical 9-5 and actually wants to have fun and be adventurous but the people who don't, shouldn't be judging the people who do.

It's their lives and let them live whichever way they choose. There isn't a 'How to live life' rule book.

That's what you call serious steroid abuse. A lot of pro's hate this guy. Some because he makes a mockery of the sport. Others hate him because he exposes the real truth about pro bodybuilding.

Yeah count my out of using that stuff.

Also i did my workout today and yesterday and the day before! I know Monday and today I thought 'Oh I can just skip this'. But I didn't and I feel better that I didn't skip. Added a little weight but it wasn't as tough as I thought which is good.

Wait, let me get this straight. You only say he's dumb for injecting after the needle fell on the ground? Sorry, but its just plain dumb to inject something like that in your body that can kill you. Not only that, but even after you see what its doing, and then continue to do it. I'm sorry but that is just plain stupid. That is what you call abuse. Would you place a loaded gun to your head and pull the trigger? No, unless you wanna die. If you don't then its plain stupid and dumb. What was his goal? To be Mr. Olympia? No way in hell no one would let him on a stage when its clear he's been abusing drugs for years. You're right, we all have goals and if his was to look like a total dumbass, he accomplished it.

Your post is exactly what a person on steroids would say. They always get defensive and try to justify.(not saying you are on them)I've always said the best and worst thing about steroids is that they work. You may increase your muscle size and have a better physique but you also take a chance on fucking up your organs. Believe me, I know because two of my friends died from multiple organ failure from steroid use. One was 26 and the other was 28 years old. I hate to say it but they were dumb. Even after they were told what could happen ,they continued to use. I will take a long and boring life any day over dying that way.

Yea, no need to take chances with stuff like that. Its ok to do supplements and maybe even experiment a bit with different type of things but to just flat out abuse something is a totally different story. Listen to your body's warning signs. That's a clear indication that something isn't good for you.

There's a good documentary on Valentino:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0785028/

Some crazy graphic stuff in it (I think it's also posted on Youtube, I saw it one night on TLC/Disco/etc...), it's The Man Whose Arms Exploded ... great and appropriate title.

Lol I started a huge tangent with just an image.

Yep...and to think that someone would actually defend what he did is beyond me.

**Vulgotha** · 12-08-2011

I definitely don't approve of his actions either.

Injecting steroids is dumb. Smoking is dumb. Using Heroine is dumb. Etcetera. No exceptions.

To you and most of the public, it would be dumb but what makes something dumb? If it can kill you, then it's dumb? Electrical shocks can kill you so does that mean using electricity is dumb?

I'm not justifying Valentino's actions, he was aware that he was just compensating for his height and he had problems. He said to many people that all throughout HS, he hated being the shortest kid in his grade and in the football team. I know he's a steroid abuser but that doesn't mean he and what he's doing is dumb. And he said on The Tyra Banks Show that he looked ugly and disgusting. Taking steroids and harmful supplements is one thing, steroid abuse is another.

I would definitely die young, with a good physique, happy and adventurous life then and old guy with pissing problems, economic problems (let's face it, this planet isn't getting any better), knowing I barely had any fun and barely able to walk up stairs. What's the point of living if your just going to live for the future? What happens if your whole life you have been playing it safe, working in a cubical, been with one girl all your life, telling yourself that if you work had now, my life will be 100x time better when I'm older and retired and still young at the moment but then, unexpectedly, your in a hospital bed and the doctor tells you that you have cancer and your going to die in couple months? Believe it or not, this happens to millions of people and if I was one of them, I'd definitely be pissed.

You are saying that you would rather die young from steroid abuse than a natural death. You've got some issues. All this bodybuilding stuff has gone straight to your head.

I agree with him to an extent. It's like that famous Braveheart quote:

"Every man dies, but not every man lives".

If someone wants to live fast and die young, then that's their choice. However, you have to think about your family as well.
