The idea of limbs shrinking should be enough to let anyone know that the whole thing is more of a joke than truth.
The look it's referring to though, especially the gut that develops...yes HGH plays a role but the combination of HGH and insulin does far more to contribute. Some also say the massive quantities of food and the constant bulking and dieting, stomach in and out in and out over the years plays a role. I'm not sure how much that plays a role, but as I've said several times we do know most bodybuilders, high level competitors, have to have a tummy tuck once or twice.
In all of bodybuilding I can't think of one person who is loved more or hated more depending on the person you talk to than Dave. He's was a very controversial figure in that world for a long time. Now days it seems he simply runs his website and supplement company. And yes, he does sell his own Synthol mix.
