Yeah, no shit.
Since he obviously has no regard for his own body he could just take boatloads of AAS.
He used to have an impressive physique, before he went totally nuts.
Edit: Greg Valentino, I mean.
yeah, hes h000000ge. Heres that Tyra interview that was mentioned.
Forgive my ignorance, but are these guys pretty much fucked for life? I mean, will some of the effects dissipate over time, or are they always going to look like bloated water balloons?

Seriously. I mean, imagine him at 90 – that just makes me laugh (in a sad kind of way). I have this odd urge to run up and stick a pin in him.
He just looks uncomfortable to me.

What’s worse is that someone put his ass on tv. That is about the only thing dumber than walking around thinking you are fooling someone with oil inflatable muscles. Well, that and the fact that I’m sure some idiots actually think he lifted weights to look like that.
Tyra Banks recently had Valentino on, of all things, an “eating disorder” show(?!)…Everyone assumed he was a “steroid” guy, and he was (enabled to)fool an audience ignorant of bodybuilding culture/facts…at no time was synthol mentioned, of course, he led them to attribute it all to AAS by omission…He was portrayed as a “victim” of “Bigorexia”/bad body image, just like the anorexic/bulimic girls…Apalling…

Yea, and the bastard blamed it on short man syndrome, and he’s 5’5"!
That fucker! I can’t believe that shit! I NEVER get short man syndrome and get angry with people because I’m AVERAGE height!
And Tyra acted like she knew exactly what that was, as if it’s common! I mean, WTF?! I’ve NEVER lost my cool over being 5’5"!!!
(just kidding…sort of)
Ah well…
I did get a good laugh out of watching him “flex” as though one could actually see any muscle through all the bloated oil bags on his tits and arms.

To be fair, Valentino isn’t totally a product of synthol. He used a TON of gear before finally deciding to go the synthol route. IIRC, he was busted for selling gear, not synthol.
Also, it is really hard to deny that the guy has some serious mental issues regarding his body image. Honestly, I don’t think there is much difference between Valentino and the 80 pound anorexic who looks in the mirror and thinks she looks fat.
Sure, he could have mentioned his synthol use, but I believe his fucked up body image came through loud and clear even with that fact omitted.

I’m curious about this too.

And the answer is…WE DON’T KNOW.
There isn’t exactly a huge patient pool to pull from filled with idiots who injected 5 quarts of oil into each biceps muscle. We’ll just have to wait for one of these fools to die and donate their bodies to science.
Flex Wheeler’s rear delts don’t seem to hold any of it so apparently it takes regular injections to keep up the size.
