SPOILER:

I guess this guy was injecting directly into his arms, so at some pint they became infected.  He decides to perform some surgery on himself and drains pus and blood from his arm.    Have a nice big dinner before you tune in.  :D

Usually you shoot up roids in your arm or your ass but this guy must have been juicing up his arms every day for the past 10 years. He looks like he's been on a never-ending cycle. I wonder how many people's heads this guy has ripped off when he's roid-raging.

As if we needed more proof, he also performs surgery on himself.

The s*** he injects is f***ing terrible. There are some steroids and substances than can have a positive effect on your body's health if taken correctly. he ignores all of that data.

This report on steroids is almost as idiotic as MTV's True Life. The fact of the matter is, there is a big difference between use and abuse, and this asshole fell into the latter.

 

As for what he's spot injecting, its not your basic Testosterone Enanthate, Propianate, Cypionate, etc. it is straight synthol, which makes him even more dumb.

 

Synthol is composed of 85% medium-chain triglyceride oils (a fatty acid), 7.5% lidocaine (painkiller), and 7.5 5 benzyl alcohol. The preparation is injected deep into the muscle where it is encapsulated between the fascicles (bundles of muscle fibers) . With repeated injections, a larger volume of oil builds up inside the muscle, expanding its size like a balloon filling up with air. About 30% of what is injected is metabolized by the body. The other 70% remains lodged in the muscle where it breaks down very slowly over three to five years. There seems to be some issue of debate among bodybuilders as to whether or not Synthol actually lasts this long, and some believe it is even longer. Chris Clark, its inventor, is convinced that it somehow leads to permanent muscle growth in the effected areas, though even he is unsure of the mechanisms that would make this possible. Synthol users report amazing pumps while training, though this could be a result of the extra pressure of the accumulated oil.

 

Although Mr. Clark claims Synthol is completely safe to use, he also made a point in Greg Zulak's "Uncensored" several issues ago that he is not legally responsible for bodybuilders using it for anything other than a posing oil. Of course, injecting any amount of fatty-acid material intramuscularly can be perilous. This is complicated by the fact that scant few bodybuilders have any medical training. Without knowing the location of major nerves, it's easy to hit one by accident and cause permanent paralysis of muscle fibers in the area. With an injection of any type, abscess infections at the injection site are always a possibility. Often abscesses (extremely painful build-ups of infected tissue) require surgery to remove, not unlike a tumor. You haven't heard the worst yet. Should you inject into a vein or artery by mistake (avoided by drawing back on the syringe to make sure there is no blood, a simple precaution many folks are too squeamish to take) the fatty acids could be transported to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, the heart, causing a heart attack, or perhaps even into the brain, leading to a cardioembolic stroke. All three cases are potentially fatal.

 

In bold is what happened to Valentino.

Yep, it's been on before, but I keep missing it.    I thought others might want to check it out as well.

Eh, I kind of wish no one saw this. The American general public is getting brainwashed on the steroid topic left and right.

 

I hope people take what is stated in this piece with a grain of salt, unless of course you like storing away false information and passing it on to others so that more and more people continue to believe these lies.
