isnt that synthol not anabolics...

Good doco. I seen another good one recently I think it was called Harder Faster Stronger and it was all about steroids. The youngest of three brothers never took them and always struggled to keep up with his brothers who became wrestlers and power lifters while he struggled for results. It goes on to show how easy it is to get steroids in America.

that doco seems like a load of shit, "even small amounts of steroids cause long term problems"..

What steroids are they talking about? Asthmatics use steroids most your girlfriends are on steroids (progesterone, the pill).

It seems like it is a scare tactic doco..

"To build these unatural muscles he needed unatural chemicals, steroids"

-actually steroids are usually 100% bioidentical chemical compounds to human androgens.

I stopped watching there.. Im not condoning steroids but the so far the doco seems uneducated.

There is one way for synthol users to stop their arms exploding.
Check out this little oil draining operation ..... nice

Make sure you watch it all now ;-)

It is a poor documentary due to poor research. Synthol is not anabolics and Valentino knows it he just wants some money and tv time. Michalik makes a really good point how we have a drug for everything and some people just jump straight to drugs. Most of the body builders on that show were average too, they should have shown the pro's thats a beyond what nature intended size not what they showed (besides Valentino).

What is not to be forgotten is valentino used 'roids along with the synthol and the reason his arm exploded was becuase he used an unsterile syringe, so he cought an infection, then he tried to self doctor himself....let's say he made many, many mistakes.
