Why GearHead's karma has been stripped
I don't usually call people out like this, but this case is kind of special.
The guy has been impersonating a professional athlete. Gearhead submitted photos of a person that clearly isn't him, no matter how much he wants you to believe that.
Consider this as a PSA announcement of sorts.
Do not always believe what someone tells you, as more often than not it is too good to be true. No one knows if he is in shape or not, has the real world experience he claims to have, and most likely is a regular guy with a few friends who walk the walk, that he knows he can replicate on an anonymous forum like ours.
His stories aren't adding up and are contradicting each other with the more he says, to the point where he is scrambling to get someone to listen to his rants. So we did a lot of digging and found out a lot that doesn't add up. Enough where we are sure enough to come to the community and warn you all and inform you about our findings. Instead of banning him we let you the members make the call.
In closing be careful who you believe sometimes and to the members who are in a similar boat or tell all the crazy stories, know that we are watching and members pick up on things also and let us know. Eventually you will be caught, we do our job to the best of our abilities.

Hmmm .... read the whole thread and found it very interesting!
In the latter pages i must agree 100% with Guitarplayer1 regarding the self pic issue..... i mean Cmon! i have to for Gods sake its something i tried hard to promote for something like 5yrs to no avail, even when i was a MOD i pushed hard for self pic credibility from the higher ranked members.
Also for what its worth.. and a couple of close MODs here know this fact, Gearhead regularly tried to push me in PM for complex pre-comp stacks... but i gave him ZERO as i knew what i gave would be parroted to the hoard of young/inexperienced squad that he had on his friends list.
Also i spotted another fact that Darth pale cleared up nice and swiftly (thankyou brother) .... luckily for me most of the conversations in PM go far deeper than just simple steroid talk... that way tends to create deeper relationships and a far deeper personal knowledge about ourselves which leads to free flow talk due to not having to hide behind a false persona.
Because we can, i think up to date..... there has only been SuzyB and myself and a couple of American Pro females who i worked with upload self shots with full face showing.... not that i promote that practise, but we did it purely to uphold integrity in any info we dished out.... basically to show what we preach works.
Looking forwards to the new eroids when BFG irons out the creases, it should be great!
Obviously this is old but I agree.
A lot of high rank members and ZERO pics to show for it.
We all have a desire to be anonymous for obvious reasons but at some point I do have to admit that very few on here (much less super high ranking/karma points etc) have proven they walk the talk.
The few that have posted for a short time (recently...like within this past year) or keep a pic up of themselves that truly have put in the time to build a great physique are highly commendable!
Just a question are you one of those guys who also believes if a member doesn't have a gazillion karma they don't know shit either?? So basically if someone hasn't posted a pic in the year you have been here then their not commendable that's kind of narrow minded wouldn't ya think??
No, karma levels have little concern for me...that is merely your incorrect assumption only.
Why would I remotely think that, when you consider how low my karma is versus the background and years f experience I have?
No, again on the pic as I was once again merely agreeing with a post of someone with LOTS of karma and LOTS of pics to prove they walk the talk.
Also been perusing the site allot longer than a year...I was on boards back in the late 90's and got off the boards because of the nit-picky types and far to many who jumped on the "flame wagon" when there was some great knowledge being shared by others who challenged the norm. Didn't see a need to jump on here "officially" any sooner than I did.
If your a decent smart guy no body cares how long you've been on here. There's some solid guys that have been on here along time that don't have much karma.
I've noticed.
I'm old and I posted a pic to prove it. So yeah, I walked the talk... -Got to sit down now; getting winded from all this walking... just one more step to the bottom of the porch, then I'm kicking someone's ass but I can't remember who's...
Yep, noticed it a while back.
Clearly not one of the many the poster I was agreeing with was talking about.
I posted a pic for you when i got hacked.
That was risky enough lol
I saw it. There's some solid senior guys on this site. People get to caught up in the karma thing. Some of the best guys have mega karma some don't. It's about getting an edge to improve not karma. Started lifting weights in 78 and I actually picked up a tip today... Long after I'm done with eroids I'll retain the info. Then you have the safety factor. If guys start getting infections you find out quick. This site may have saved someone's life.
The safety factor that's where allot of the newbs fail to understand that the advice as harsh as it seems sometimes they are being given isn't to ostracize them it's to keep them healthy and alive the senior members here actually do give a shit about your health if they didn't they would hand out marshmallow advice like a lot of the other boards do
RustyhookerMarshmallow advice.... bingo. Cosigners can see the door. Lol
Hahahaha that's funny shit!! I think most of the mods have posted pics in the 5 years I've been.on here like sam iam said below they just don't leave em up long now ya see it now ya don't
A lot of these guys do post pictures they just don't leave them up long. So I would disagree.
Free to disagree.
I was agreeing with V.E. on the "prove it by pic" analogy.
Allot can change to a physique in a week or two much less several months or years depending on when some decide to post.
We all start from scratch and at some point we will all pass the ability to maintain a certain level much less our prime however, our cumulative knowledge will always remain just as we always have more to learn.
I'm indifferent whether someone chooses to post a pic but we do have to remember that with us communicating largely on the internet, pics along with knowledge go a long way since everyone is wishing to be anonymous.
On here it is pretty easy to copy and paste and/or do a quick google search and parlay that as knowledge when one is merely just hyper efficient at researching and spewing out info.
Big different between that and cumulative knowledge that one has maintained and can share with others at the ready.
Enjoy the weekend and stay healthy.
Train for PURPOSE!
You have always been a proponent of pics or it didn't happen ;-)
BFG might remember my first pic here ever ...lol.. I thought Goth was going to have a cow ;-)
As for gearhead well he and I have always had a contentious relationship because he is/was wreckless and irresponsible with his advice
Hi there old friend....... i used to enjoy the days when your Gothic and i used to bomb the picture section weekly lol.... i remember Goth once saying selfies are what makes the difference with the REAL aspect of the net, and also its an inspiration for members to become an integral part of the community here.
If i remember correct... i tore Gearhead a new asshole on his first ever day here because his first ever post was nothing but a tren fest....... when i saw the Slin thread i knew it wouldnt be long before he hung himself............ and yep you right, the numerous times he was pulled up for his "loose lipped" info got silly near the end.
Nobody can say Grrl dont put pics up................ no fear
Hello friend ;-)
ahh yes, photo bombing the pic section ... I do miss those days and not only was it inspiring for the members but it damn sure does keep a person on the right track ...
I d say I am surprised you ripped him a new ass but I m not ..lol..
I told you id prove he was a fraud one day.
You did brother..... we spoke plenty on the subject but like you said " proof will be the nail in the coffin"... reminds me of the Papaswole incident i was involved with a few years ago..... that fucker even had the audacity to ask how much i charged for personal training ......... then went and ripped eroid members off! col as ice MoFo who turned out to be nothing than a fkn boy :/
Good job bro........... proper MOD work
I worked my balls off on this guy. Took me months to document and notice all the lies come to contradict each other and kept digging and found out too much.
I thought of you when I got it all done I was like vikes going to die laughing when he sees this lol.
Papaswole another fuckwit.
Tony was convinced quite awhile ago, I have to be honest I wasn't all that hot after him. I thought he was fake but not as fake as it turned out. Tony and I talked about it a lot but he showed big time persistence on this one. Hats off homey..
No worries bro. That's what makes us a pretty decent team having other hats in the ring to look at it from all angles. Worked out for the best made me dig as deep as possible lol.
Thanks bro.
Didn't realise you guys did as much as you do... in fact I think a lot of members don't realise.
Good job Tony for getting rid of this fraud.
Hopefully he will now realise how fucking sad his life really is and sort his shit out
You went above and beyond to uphold your integrity and with doing that you will never have to get questioned. People can take your advices without doubt. We see that it has all worked on yourelf and wife right there in the pictures.
You guys bring it so sing it brother.
Has do yourself and your good lady............... both top physiques and work ethic to be proud of.
Suze is looking way better than me at the moment brother, i am sporting a 36in Ab that needs attention lol.... i blame all the French bread and ass kicking cheese ive been living off lately.... soon to be remedied though now i am back home
Nothing wrong with living a little. When it's time to take it off I am sure you won't be pussyfooting around.
Funny that you say Suzy is looking better. When we go out most people comment on my old lady way more than me. Maybe because muscular women are just not as commonly seen. Bet that happens with you two as well.
You know brother when it comes to details I do not forget and you are probably the main reason I stayed here . So when someone makes a claim about you I know to be false I am not going to let it stand. Thanks brother for all you have contributed to us. We may have never met but I consider you friend..
Damn right..... i think we talk more about our kids and dogs with steroids being the last thing on the list lol
Rosser01Why the fuck would someone claim to be somebody they are not.? Be happy with who you are and make the best of it..! Good find to whomever went above and beyond to do the research on this fella that they did..!!
StevebFree gear, discounted gear, special treatment by sources, or jut to fuck with people because they have a personality disorder or are borderline schizophrenic.
I'm not schizo I swear!
Or become better than that person!
In a word: Ego
It's interesting that no-one called this guy out on his claims for over 3 years until you did - now suddenly everyone knew he was a fake. The beauty of hindsight - 20/20 vision.
Proving it is what took time.....anyone can suspect anything but unless they have facts their opinion is irrelevant.
Ok. Good point. but damn...it took a long time...and if the guys who are coming forward now claiming that they knew he was BS - came forward earlier, then he would have been 'outed' much earlier...Anyway, I'm glad he was exposed - as Greg (I think) said - he was a risk to those who were easily influenced and believed his 'advice.'..but I can't help thinking that he successfully suckered a whole lot of people here - who should have known better.
Because how we or they feel doesn't mean much, we need to have proof or very strong circumstantial evidence at minimum. There are others that are suspect as well but until we can feel confident in a decision we aren't going to call them out.
edit: LOL, I just basically repeated what Tony already said...
Yes. I understand. Good reply - thanks.
Yours looks great if that makes you feel better. Lmfaon no homo
Lmao. The one bashing others telling us that we have to be at least 250 pounds benching at least 315 before touching any AAS. Of course we members start catching up with the lies, BS & contradictions this members post. But some of this people are so popular & so "respected" in the community that we don't wanna call them in public because of all the negativity & drama this can create. There is more than 1 out there doing what Gearhead was doing right here on this site.
X2.
Get real bro! Are you kidding me? Here is a pic of our boy before he ever used roids. How do I know? Because he told me so... lol
His name is dickhead...
You mean I wasn't taking advice from a pro? Dang it!
So why in the world was he sending threats to members? He gets his shit called out and then retaliates? Sounds like a borderline personality disorder.
RustyhookerReally? If true, I'd like to see it posted as a reminder here
According to one of the Mods below, yes, he threatened several members.
Not several bro, just one.
The wrong one...
