No, that's not photoshopped - it's a real photo of bodybuilder Greg Valentino, who has a 27-inch arm in his peak. He was featured in the recent The Learning Channel documentary on steroids and bodybuilding. From a very honest 2002 interview with T-Nation on using steroids, its side effects, and going to jail for dealing steroids. GV: My arms are so big and my shoulders were so broad, they were filming me when I came out of the police station. They do these spoofs about the local news on the Daily Show and they showed me and said, "What do you think this guy was arrested for? Hint: It wasn't estrogen!" Then they showed me on tape and said, "Local police found that this guy was doing steroids. No shit! What, did you think he was storing nuts for the winter in those arms?" ... T: Do you think you motivate people? GV: No, I think I disgust people. I get rotten e-mail from all over the world from people that tell me I suck, I look like shit, I ruined my physique… Then again I do get people who are awed by it, the fact that I'm a freak. Anyway, I know I disgust people. I know I'm the laughing stock of bodybuilding. I know that and that's okay with me.
A tale on how steroids can really screw you up bad. Real bad. A very interesting read: Chris Shugart interviews Greg Valentino |
I think you should practice what you preach. Anyone who looks at Greg's arms and compares them to the guy in this video http://www.20min.ch/digital/webpage/story/11493147
can tell that they are not the same. Look at Greg's muscles. They have definition, striations, solidity. They do not look like giant balloons under the skin like the guy in the video. I have seen pictures of Greg when he was younger, and his arms were huge way back then. No, I do not have a problem with people doing steroids, or Synthol or whatever they want. It is their body, not mine, but to look at the guy in video, who obviously has enormous amounts of Synthol under his skin, then look at Greg's arms, which have definition, etc. and say they are the same, is ridiculous. Perhaps you should know what you are talking about before you accuse everyone else of stupidity. It appears as though you and peterParker graduated from the same school!!!
