The Man Whos Arms Exploded on TLC

Has anyone else seen this horrible documentary on Gregg Valentino?

**broken link removed**

 

[nosmas]

I have seen it many times Aqua. Its a real uplifting story for sure . You have to see it once. I am NOT a fan of Gregg. I know his MD articles well as I have a subscription and he still is in no way to me a bodybuilder of ANY kind. Happy watching!

 

[thenatural3456]

ive seen it a couple times im watching it now again. valentino is such a tool. i cant belive he just pegs it all to steroid use. and tlc just fed into it and gave him a show...they need to give one of the responsible guys on here a damn show. going thru blood tests sterile injections, diet planning, so on and so forth.

just makes me sick

 

[K1]

Seen it too many times....Pathetic............

 

[aquaholic]

... he even makes himself sound like a total idiot!

 

[EVERLAST]

nail on the head...

Yes, Aqua, he does sound like a idiot. Because he IS an idiot. I'm suprised he's still alive. You hit the nail on the head...

 

[AP13]

[oldfella]

He is a disgarace and I refuse to buy MD for that reason. he has no business commenting on BB issues as he is a nobody!

 

[LightWeight]

I'm sitting here so disgusted in what i've just watched! I feel sick to the stomach. What planet is this guy from? Weirdo!!!

 

[NWill]

Well in MD i dont think he really gives any BB advice its just a bunch of crappy little articles put together. Its like a thrid grader did lol. But the rest of MD i like thats why i buy it.

 

[thedonker]

I WATCHED IT SOME TIME AGO, HE IS A TOTAL PENIS.

What about MICHALIK??

Steve Michalik is a BIGGER TOOL, and proves it even more than Gregg Valentino, who at least has a job in bodybuilding.

Michalik blames the fact that he had a heart attack, stroke and committed to a mental institution because he decided to take some deca? He's insane because he developed mental issues along the road of life and never lived up to what everyone around him thought he was going to become.

Now he's training these poor guys in the gym telling them that they have to do a hundred reps of weightless squats and rope pulldowns, yelling in the face of his smiling female trainee who is obviously saying to herself, "wow, I can smell your old-man ass hair, toolbox..."

What about the other moron who starts off the documentary? The guy who trains morning and night and consumes a couple of dozen eggs and heavy cream every day, and ends up looking like shit on stage after training so hard and heavy for so long...

The one who told the best story was the one who was the most honest - Valentino. The guy admitted he was a moron, admitted he sold drugs, and admitted that he left himself with nothing because he was a tool. Now he looks like a freak and has a job writing a colum for a bodybuilding magazine. I'd say out of all the people who were conveyed in that story, Valentino was the most successful and the guy who was the most honest, like him or not.

I really cant understand why MD gives this loser a platform to speak from.

Why would you give a column to a clueless loser and an infamous scumbag, renowned for destroying his body in the most pathetic and wreckless way possible?? Why would you give a column to a guy who is about nothing more than looking like a total freak and is basically the poster boy for self destruction??

Bodybuilding is about improving yourself and constantly striving to become better than the rest. It's about dedication, hard work, self sacrifice, discipline, mental strength and then reaping the rewards from this. He is about the furthest thing in the world from the concept of bodybuilding and has no business commenting on it.

simply disgusting.

n greggs defense....

... he even makes himself sound like a total idiot!

He has stated in his article that TLC completely twisted that documentary to make him sound like an idiot and left out most of the info gregg wanted to be in there. I enjoy reading his article cuz hes a hilarious. Dont base your one perception of person on our media. They twist it so they can send their personal message through the exploitation of people.

Like him or hate him, in all fairness that is true. Don't trust what you see or hear by the talking heads on the boob-tube

Celtic, I couldn't have said it better - well done!

Valentino's column, last time I saw it, was called something like Ramblin' Freak - well, they got the ramblin' AND freak part right, the guy is incoherent!

 

[gtj220]

I've seen it, it was entertaining and no matter what we think of Valentino he does seem to be a no B.S. guy, so ,I can't help but think that the editing done on the program skewed everything in one directing. I think this especially in light of the recent Benoit ordeal, I know the media is driving the story in one direction in spite of the truth, therefore, how can I trust anything else I see on the "news" programs. I'm very dissapointed in Fox. The story has not been "fair and balanced" in my opinion.
