It will definitely be an interesting show.

whens it air? I've sen the movie and the previews for the show.

Its on FX on Wed. at 10PM PDT.

I'm going to check that out tomorrow. Should be interesting.

Saw it, was pretty decent.

34 year old overweight guy took HGH (daily injections), Testosterone (weekly injections), Creatine Pyruvate and a host of other OTC herbs and supplements.

His goal was to get back to the shape he was in when he was 20 years old swimming competitively in college, within 30 days. Apparently he had an 8-pack back then, or so he says.

He had weekly blood tests to monitor things.

He quit the experiment after day 23 due to abnormal liver functions and fears of becoming infertile (75 million per CC with most alive to 1 million per CC with them dead).

Bodybuilding pro Bob Cicherillo was the guy's weight lifting trainer and he had another cardio trainer.

At the end of it, he was down 15 lbs (202->187) and apparently 15% bodyfat, which seems absolutely insane over just 3 weeks.

He seemed a bit more aggressive overall as things wore on, but that seems logical given the stress of being on camera all the time and the entire process.

I thought it was interesting, but both he and his wife were obviously not well informed prior to starting this and were very cautious throughout it (to the point of possible paranoia).

I watched it too. Pretty interesting. I was kinda disappointed that he had to stop the program after 22 days though. Made the whole show sort of pointless.

Some clarification. He took 100mg of test for the initial dose and 50mg as a maintenance dose afterwards. Not sure on HGH dosing.

i didnt like the show, made it seem like steroids are death in a bottle
first they didnt check his liver values right before the cycle, then they gave him 40 pills of god knows what, then they didnt tell him everything, plus he wasnt educated enough and didnt even know what he was puttin in him. then they didnt tell him how to counter some of the sides blah blah blah just watch the show and you'll know what i mean

I watched most of it, I passed out towards the end. Oh well. One thing I noticed is his wife is a biatch. I was getting pissed off everytime she opened her f'ing mouth.

There are some good discussions on the FX message board for the show.

Sweet... Thanks for the heads up. This should be pretty interesting. I've considered taking some type of anabolic at a moderate dose for a short period if I can find something safe. Definitely a must watch.

It didn't have any educational content... mainly a drama and whine-fest from Scott's (the subject of the episode) wife.

There will probably be reruns but I wouldn't recommend wasting your time.
