I've read about him, watched clips of him and just think he's an idiot. Dealing drugs, using synthol, and trying to medically take care of his owm problems under no doctor supervision. I respect him for coming out with his TLC documentary, but think he's an idiot for the decisions he has made.

Greg’s arm "exploded" is a not exactly correct.

I would say, an arm with an abscess, from injecting with no safety in mind. He is not the first person for that to happen too.

I also believe him when he said it was caused by site injects of prop, and other AAS, and was not synthol.

Not that there is a difference in effect from the site injection. Just it was not specifically a sterile oil only, and was actually a mix of site injections, with different AAS, used at hazardous amounts, in a similar fashion that one would use synthol, however was not exactly synthol.

Anyhow, the result is virtually the same as if it were synthol. Bloated looking muscles with odd contours that do not follow the natural shape.

I really would have to see an ultra sound, or biopsy to see exactly what is going on in there, but I put my money on both a lot of scar tissue, as well as capsulated AAS and oils that the body did not absorb, surrounded by another layer of scar tissue.

I am sure there is actually muscle in there, but I think a lot of the size is scar tissue.

What kills me is when people try to “educate me” by telling me about a guy they saw on TV who used so many steroids his arms exploded.

With wonderful disregard for medical facts as well as the laws of physics I may add.

I agree! I heard it a lot too from friends, but eventually I just learned to keep quiet and not talk about weightlifting/bodybuilding/steroids anymore.
