perfectspecimen said:thinking about using for calves. i dont need any moral advice on cheating using synthol. i have been around a while in this game.
my calves wont respond to training, they have gotten a lot stronger but not any bigger.
what are the main ingredients in synthol and the concentrations?
my calves were none existed until I moved to cali and saw how a couple of national level compt. were training them---
try this for 6 months and see if you calfs grow at all

standing calf raise-----do a set of 25 reps(complete failure)-5 sec. rest --keep the same weight and go to complete failure-always 5 sec. rests--your goal is to reach 75 reps all with the same weight(no matter how many sets it takes----most people can't walk after doing this. But this is just the beginning---
seated calf raise-----exact same as above---good luck

not done yet-----this is where the everyday lifter and the ones that grow are diff----Leg press machine---as much weight as possible---what you want to do here is stretch your calves and hold in a stretch position for 30-40 seconds(try to touch your big toe to your shin(its impossible but thats how hard you want to stretch them(with a ton of weight to boot)try to do these for 5 sets--with a min. rest between--
your calves with be complete toast but drop the weight on the leg press and push out 3 sets of 20 reps with very light weight but hold the squeese at the top for 5 second count-just 30second rest between sets-again good luck
your first few weeks of doing this, once a week will be all you can handle--once the soarness starts to fade--hit it twice a week--then 3 times a week-----Train them first in your workout and never on leg days(you will know why when you do it)--when 3 times a week seems to much--back off to twice and so on---
give this a shot for 6months and then come back and tell us--your calves don't respond...add synthol to the mix and you will have some of the biggest calves in 2 years---if this don't work, do what a lot of the pros have done and go with implants--peace
