Gregg Valentino, I know we have all seen that pic of his arm all stitched up after his years of synthol abuse finally caught up with him. Anyone know the story behind this exactly? What happened? Was he working out and his skin actually ripped or what? Did he have to get the synthol removed? Just curious what happened to him.

You guys really think he would inject that much synthol in both his arms every other day? That's messed up. Those things are implants.

In his Ramblin' Freak column from a past issue of MD, Valentino states that the abcess was the result of an allergic reaction to a spider bite.

Sad and disgusting. People like that make bodybuilders look bad and feed the histeria around steroids.

Most certainly implants.
Synthol works well IF you know what you're doing. If you don't, even it can't screw you up that bad!
Spider bite my ass!
I bet he got the implants, which looked bad enough, but wanted em bigger so he site injected all his gear in his arms and maybe even added synthol to make them look even worse!I don't reply to PM's for sources. Read it again. I don't reply to PM's for sources. But I will forward it to a Mod.

Why would you wish death on someone because you don't like the way they look. Sure Valentino took it to an extreme but there are few IFBB pros out there who have'nt used synthol or escaleneOriginally Posted by Powers|ave

Ya I'm pretty sure your right. Greg is short, hence his reason for using syntol in the first place. To "make up for the size the tall guys were getting". Plus it doesnt look anything like him...Originally Posted by alex england

The Pics by Judge are of Greg Valentine. IDK if they still have the interviews, but about 2-3 yrs ago BB.com did a 2 part series interview with greg and it was interesting as hell. I highly recommend you guys look for it to read, some of the crap this guy talks about is just nuts.

i would be embarrased to go out in public with arms like that. sure, they are big but they have horrible shape to them. but, that's his body and he can do whatever he wants with it but in my opinion, that looks awful.

In one of the MD mags I have he says that the injury shown in that pic is from a fight and that he was struck w/ a baseball bat. ....... I'd like to see the fargin bat that causes a huge laceration in an area as soft as the bicep.
