I watched this show last night.....
1. The cover boy.
-Even though he as the cooler of the 3 on the show... he stil annoyed the hell out of me. The whole... (I'll take a shot of winny....) the night before my photo shoot. was totally annoying.. come on man. The old guy "friend" of his shooting him in the ass with a test winny combo... kinda wierd... the old guy seemed to like it too much. His going up in weight in the curls was really annoying... not sure why.. but the whole (I've never been able to do that before thing). And the most annoying thing was how head headed right to the gym after his injection because "His Testosterone level was peaking right then and there".... Wow was that lame.
2. The little gay guy (I have no problems with gay guys at all)
-This guy was totally mentally unstable from the get go, and to go get on some gear to win a gay strip show.... well we know where his mentality is at as is. This guy sees a counselor on a regular basis, and there are obvious reasons for that..... He needs too. Throwing the gear in there only made him feel worse about himself (Because I think he felt bad that he was doing it, not because "the gear made him do it!!!!" This guy needs to be on prozac and other meds. He is depressed, and I would agree that a whole bunch of gear can make that worse.
3.The MMA guy... Come on... He was on for 6 weeks. It looked to me like he was doning like 200mg of test, and 50mg of winny a week or something. Its not like he was on a gram of test, and acting all crazy... Shit he's into MMA (which I love) but you have to be a little nutty to like getting the crap beat out of you... The best thing about that whole story was the end, when he gave his GF her papers.
4. Last but not least..The USC kid that when out and shot himself....
-The gear made him do it.... It was because he was going threw withdrawl...
OK, now I will admit, after a cycle I can get a bit down due to loss of gains and whatnot, but I am pretty metally stable. Lets go over what they said happened to this kid.... he basically dropped out of USC, Moved back home with Mom and dad, and was totally miserable because of that. Let me tell you, the most miserable time in my life was the 3 months after I finished college, moved home with Mom and Dad, and knew all my friends.... (and all the girls where back at school having a blast). If there's every been a time I thought about ending it all... it was when I was home from school, trying to figure out what the hell to do next, sleeping in the same room I slept in during high school.... but feeling like I'm an adult....
That guy was metally unstable before Gear, and obviously was unstable after gear. His parents are devistated from the loss of thier son, and should be, but they IMHO are chasing the wrong culprit in this situation.
Those are my thoughts on that show. I thought it was a shame that they were not more balanced. They really went out on a limb to find some dummies in my eyes. I wish they had found some other people that knew a bit more about the sport, dieting, and how important it is to educate yourself before you get on a cycle.
Take care boys
