All right, is there anyone else who is tired of Synthol and its bastard children? Does anyone else get sick when you see MuscleMag morons with 27 inch arms that are still practically oozing? Realistically, whether we like it or not, Synthol is around to stay. Just like every extreme measure discovered in bodybuilding, no one is going to give up their competitive edge when there is chance someone else is using a product. I am not going to get into an aesthetic or moral debate about Synthol, but I am going to pick an economic fight here. Synthol is the most over-priced product in the world; all the other products like it are equally overpriced. So, what is Grendel going to do? He is going to encourage free market enterprises and tell everyone how they can make their own Synthol product for almost nothing.
Ingredients
Lidocaine: This drug is called a local anesthetic. This drug has a very rapid onset time and an intermediate duration of action in the body. It is important to observe that adrenaline supplements (clenbuterol, ephedrine, etc) delay the re-absorption; this means that the effective duration of action can be almost doubled using these products. This product is available by prescription, but can be purchased overseas at pharmacies or through veterinarians. In the United States, injectable lidocaine is used to treat irregular heartbeats. It is available in 1-2 percent strength with a concentration of 10-20mg per ml.
Research has established that lidocaine is safe even in dosages as high as 50mg/kilogram. This means that a 220-pound bodybuilder (100 kilograms) would be safe taking upwards of 5 grams of lidocaine which is never going to be a problem. Moderate side effects may become visible in blood serum concentrations of 7-8mg per cc; these side effects include complaints of a metallic taste in the mouth or numbness and general disorientation. Treatment at that point is to stop administering lidocaine. This information is presented to show you that lidocaine is not going to be a dangerous product for you to use in the manner described. In this recipe for homemade Synthol-type products, the lidocaine is used as a painkiller to help with the injection process.
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT): This compound belongs to a class of fatty acids. The oil’s chemical composition is of a shorter length than the long-chain fatty acids present in most other fats and oils hence the medium chain part of its name. You can purchase a large bottle of this oil at any local health food store. For our purposes, any oil could be used; MCTs are the most common oil type found in Synthol type products.
USP Steroid Powder: This is Anabolic Extreme and frankly if you are using site injection oils, then you better damn well be far enough along in the game to be using steroids. It's possible to replace the steroid powder with a pro-hormone powder, but why bother? Site injection is an advanced activity and by this point you should be completely “juiced.” USP steroid powders are very available now; the name that comes to mind immediately is featured prominently throughout our magazine (Getwood). People have been suggesting or flat out demanding that site injection of steroids brings about localized muscle growth. Frankly, I do not believe this; as Jason said, if there was merit to this idea then his ass would have its own damn area code. Nevertheless, I think that adding steroids to our little home brew is a good idea for a variety of reasons. I do not think there is any point in going through the pain and bother of injecting in an area like the bicep if you are not simultaneously administering an anabolic agent. Secondly, site injection causes a lot of local tissue damage and you want to be more anabolic to help repair this damage. The important thing to remember is that you are going to be injecting at least 2 cc of oil into each site, so you do not want a very high concentration of steroid per cc (1cc equals 1 ml). Steroids like testosterone propionate are ideal for site injection as is trenbolone acetate. Both of these powders are very easy to come by and Anabolic Extreme has already published recipes on extracting trenbolone from cattle implants.
Alcohol: This is used as a sterilizing agent in the product. Benzyl Alcohol is the type of alcohol to use. Remember that this alcohol is found in many steroid products and is what causes the burning sensation associated with injecting them. Animal ([email protected]) sells chemistry kits and is a reliable source for benzyl alcohol as well as the syringes and vials you will need for our experiment.
Syringes, Filters and Vials oh My: You are also going to need a multi-drawl vial of at least 50 milliliters, although 100 milliliters is ideal. A variety of sterile syringes is also a good idea and syringe filers are an extra precaution. Once again, Animal ([email protected]) is a good source for all your experimental needs.
Step by Step
This is a procedural method to make 100ml of site injection product. You may scale the instructions up or down to produce more or less product. At every step, try to keep the environment as sterile as possible. Clean all utensils and containers with alcohol and rinse in distilled water.
Measure out 100ml of MCT oil and place it into an open top container that is heat resistant. A Pyrex baking dish is ideal for this. Remember to rinse the dish in distilled water (you can get this in a supermarket).
Add 5ml Benzyl Alcohol to the MCT oil.
Add 2.5 grams of steroid powder to the MCT oil. This gives you a yield of 25mg per ml. You may add more powder depending on your daily dosage regiment. Remember that these steroids “count”.
Heat this container under low heat until the powder dissolved into the oil
Place this container in an oven preheated to 225 degrees for 30 minutes.
Cover the product and allow it to cool enough so that it can be drawn up in a syringe. Use as large a syringe as possible (60ml).
Pierce the seal on the multi-drawl vial with the needle of one syringe. Slowly inject the oil in that syringe and then inject it into the vial. Note that vials can also be purchased from our friend Animal. Unscrew the needle from the barrel of the syringe and attach the other barrel of oil. Inject this oil into the vial. Note that you have only pierced the vial once, but have injected the full amount of oil.
If you are very paranoid, you can use a syringe filter when you inject the oil and you can immerse the full vial in boiling water.
Let the vial cool down. You now have a vial containing 100ml of 25mg per ml steroid dissolved in MCT oil.
Add lidocaine to taste. Just kidding. The lidocaine is not necessary, but it will help with the pain of the injection. You can use lidocaine in one of two ways. You can “prep” the injection site by injecting the lidocaine with insulin needle into the muscle. This will help with the pain. Experiment until you find a dosage that works for you. The second option would be to add the lidocaine to the cooled vial so that each injection has its own built in painkiller. I suppose a third option would be to combine both methods to absolutely minimize the pain. If you do add lidocaine to the vial, remember that it alters the mg per ml dosage of the steroid. I cc of your site injection product will not have 25 mg of steroid; it will have, depending on how much lidocaine (and the concentration of the lidocaine) less.
Congratulations. You have made your very own Synthol-type product that has the added bonus of being anabolic and having a built in painkiller. No reason to use Nubain with this particular baby. Oh yeah, and now that you have made it, please throw it away. Do not even think about injecting it. Ok! Promise! All right, I believe you.
Please do not forget to read the Anabolic Extreme back issues where the whole site-injection issue has been discussed. The article Site Injection and Cosmetic Modification is a decent article on this subject. Jason’s interviews with Trevor Smith of Nuclear Nutrition also explore this topic and are found in the article Site Enhancement: The Final Word. Between reading Paul Borreson’s and the writings of Trevor Smith you will get a competent view of how to go about the whole process of site enhancement. And, if you think this is for you, then please do us all a favor and go down to the newsstands and pick up the December issue of MuscleMag. See what I mean?
