He admits he uses steroids. Check out the link to “Last Pictures of me natural” and read the text. Some of those photos made me feel phsycially sick - truly gross. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by green\_bladder \* > \*\* Any women fancy that kinda stuff? \*\* No, but then I’m probably not the one to ask. I think body builders are just as unnatural looking and unnattractive as fat men are. Lean, firm, and trim is one thing - body building is another. I think it’s grotesque no matter to what degree you take it. Blech. But that’s just MHO. ---

For those who are interested, here’s an [interview](http://www.t-mag.com/articles/211hate.html) with Greg. He seems like a nice guy who really wants big arms. ---

Wtf is this? Looks like a badly done photoshop. [http://www.bicepmania.net/closeup.cfm?picID=414](http://www.bicepmania.net/closeup.cfm?picID=414) As somone else said, anything to an extreme can be unhealthy, and I really have to wonder about these guys body image. ---

I saw him on Last Call a couple of weeks ago. Besides his arms being bigger than his head, the guy’s really short. Not in the your-massive-arms-make-you-look-short sort of way, either - he was standing by Carson and the other guests and he’s actually short. If he didn’t have arms the size of tires, he’d probably be considered a small person. I bet he got beat up in elementary school and developed a complex. Yup.
