The Dr should have posted the pictures of his shrunken testicles, I am sure that would work as a much better deterrent.

"Strong images"...

Man, was I dissapointed... try going to the EADV congress (or any other dermatology congress) if you really want to see "strong images"

The first photo was taken when the chap was at his ideal image (according to the caption) - probably after doing his weight stuff to provide extra blood to the muscles and perhaps after being a bit dehydrated, too. Notice that there's no acne. It could have been taken a year before the second picture.

Yein, but I fancy you can see spotting or leasions in the first image... the skin is slightly coloured/redder around the areas of damage...

Indeed the text says

Chuck Palahniuk comments about his 1 month use of steroids.

I like reading him better, but couldn't find the text.

	Most of these people are addicted to the stuff. Plain and simple. Their life is one single body-building obsession. As with any addicts, a rational discussion about the drug with the addict is not possible. They either realize it themselves or they die. Like this guy: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Münzer (no gross images - scroll to the end for his "doping-plan". A hospital-pharmacy was an organics-shop compared to this guy's body....

Wow I remember that guy Münzer when I used to read Muscle and Fitness. Weird teenage flashback.

There is nowhere on his English wikipage that states he specifically died of steroid abuse though.... but we all know it anyway.

It says six weeks.

Postnote - ahhhh I see 6 weeks after treatment. Got a bit mixed up with the line "Two months later, the acne was gone. So was the muscle".....

I'd say the case in the images is an example of a stupid user, rather than dangerous steroids. Most people who use them in a bodybuilding context do so from an educated standpoint, with careful monitoring of the effects, and with plenty of planning for post-cycle hormonal therapy on hand.

Greg Valentino being the exception.

Rumour has it that a certain Govenator used HGH during his day, hence the gap between his teeth (possibly corrected years ago)..... Not sure if true.

terryhall · #28 27.04.2011, 15:40

Not sure about HGH, but anyone who thinks that Arnold (or any pro bodybuilder) is natural is incredibly naive.

it's been said that chicks dig muscles and chicks dig scars.....looks like a win win for him
