Ever tried Synthol?

[riverrock]

Hello All,

I was looking at some photos of that Big Annoying Jerk Greg Valentino this morning. In fairness, he's entertaining, but if anyone ever made his name as a pure Bullshit Talker, its him! Anyhow, the amount of Synthol he uses is a joke, but has anyone ever tried it in moderation and do you rate it at all?

Personally, I tink its cheating just like having calf implants, Because there's no work or effort involved. However, maybe some Bros would beg to differ......

 

[crazyivan]

i agree with u ,cheating bullshit and a discrase if u ask me.it is good for people that want to star in freak shows thou.

 

[novice ck]

[roidpuple]

It made my Dick really big and round ......

I don't know what i think of synthol personally, but in building the perfect beast, author l rea has some interesting protocols using synthol.

He coins the process "max mix", and his mixture looks something like:
example 1:
Test prop (100mg /ml) 14ml
SEO 28 ML
BA 1/2 ML

And then he'd recommend injecting something like 6ml in the bodyparts you just worked (for instance, 3ml in left tricep, 3ml in right tricep)


I dunno if i really agree with his reasoning, but it's interesting none the less.. If you are interested in synthol, he has a lot more examples in the book like that that you maybe interested in.

Greg valentino is a moron who's body is so fucked up looking he can only bang transexuals, his g/f now is a transexual. He also has liver cancer from the synthol. He's not a bodybuilding or anything close, before he started the synthol he looked half decient, he also dident fuck trannys at that time.

Sorry, but I think it's immature to diss him b/c of his sexual preference or whatever. If you don't agree with what he does with his body, that's fine, he may think you look ridiculous. Everyone has their own opinions. But to put him down for "fuckin a tranny" is really immature bro.

Im not big on it to the extent of Greg,but I have considered it for my medial delts as they just dont grow ,Ive tried all kinds of routines,once a week,twice a week, and fuck all.

will I ever do it? doubtful as I like to have use of my arms,and ed shots will make me sore Im sure

hey; it has een some time for me with commitments with work and stuff. Haven't trainned in years lucky that i got good genetics and still look good for my age,the last time i heeard about synthol was when some-one with 26 inch arms was filling himself up with it. then at the mr universe the last one that ronnie coleman was in ( he didn't look at all ready for that one and we all know that the rainning Mr Universe never gets defeated but retires) there was one competetor who had synthol injections. I am not sure of this but i am informed that the oil never leaves your system...

You don't like Greg very much!!!

 

[roidpuple]

emmm tranny's.... sounds spicy

 

[BOOEY]

In today's world of BB competition, synthol is a must-have for some. But, unless you're that big and competing against the likes of Coleman and Cutler, I wouldn't waste any time on it

 

[glennds]

He also has liver cancer from the synthol.

are you his doctor? or did greg confide in you about his cancer?

Moral issues aside, I'm scared shitless to put something in me thats there for good. If it looks good thats great, but what if it came out looking bad? I'm stuck with it? Hell no. I could never get a tattoo b/c I couldn't decide on something I knew I'd want forever and thats something I know how it looks before. I'd be so scared shoot the stuff, what if theres some dumbass lump? Laugh, but guys with far more experience and connections (i.e. pros) do it wrong all the time. Just look at any show stage and you'll see why its a bad gamble IMO.

It's not permanent????? Your body metabolizes it through the liver or kidneys i believe...It's definetly not permanent!

The main use for SEO is to stretch the faschia of muscle bellies, or give a little extra girth right before constant time to give a fuller look to muscle bellies... Not to add 23" to your arms permanently like valentino...

Not to doubt you bro, b/c I know shit about synt., but help me out with a few observations then. What about the guys who get on stage with the whacked out bumps and misshaped bi and delts? I guess these problems are not totally permanent, but they are there for a while b/c these guys obviously can't get rid of them for the contest. How long do these mis-fires stick around, like say I attempt synt. in my bi and I get one of those odd looking peaks that screams fake. How long is this gonna be with me? Again, I'm not puytting these questions out as a debate of synth. b/c I know next to nothing about it short of what I've observed.

 

[Mikus]

Well...i guess it varies from person to person..but the oils in synthol are fairly hard for your body to break down..they do stay for a while. the things is, most people who pump seo into themselves abuse it, use too much of it...or use it for the wrong reasons...if i had to guess, most could expect to maintain the oil for 1-2 weeks, some shorter, some longer...I don't have a definite answer on that though. maybe some one else can chime in.

 

[idcbp]

I'd be interested to know for sure, b/c if it only a couple weeks then when we see a pro with lumps or other oddities, he must have done something wrong in the immediate time leading up to the show? But don't some guys have continuous problems in multiple shows which gets them a rep for synt. and affects the placing. This means they keep f-up each time and keep using? Man thats worse than when I thought they just messed up once and were stuck with it, in terms of them being stupid. If it does only last that short time though it makes it seem alot less risky to try.

Synthol is composed of 85% medium-chain triglyceride oils (a fatty acid), 7.5% lidocaine (painkiller), and 7.5 5 benzyl alcohol. The preparation is injected deep into the muscle where it is encapsulated between the fascicles (bundles of muscle fibers) . With repeated injections, a larger volume of oil builds up inside the muscle, expanding its size like a balloon filling up with air. About 30% of what is injected is metabolized by the body. The other 70% remains lodged in the muscle where it breaks down very slowly over three to five years. There seems to be some issue of debate among bodybuilders as to whether or not Synthol actually lasts this long, and some believe it is even longer. Chris Clark, its inventor, is convinced that it somehow leads to permanent muscle growth in the effected areas, though even he is unsure of the mechanisms that would make this possible. Synthol users report amazing pumps while training, though this could be a result of the extra pressure of the accumulated oil.

Apparently some of the oils in synthol can last years...that's insane...

Wow, great pull Mikus. k to you. 3-5 years with a lump or oddly shaped belly would suck. It probably would dissipate somewhat in less time, but still...damn. I'd be so worried I'd do it wrong.

 

[roidpuple]

would there be any perminent effects.... if it stretches the myofacia tissue... does it grow back bigger.... what fills the holes when the oil is absorbed??? scar tissure??

 

[Mikus]

Well that's the thing, i'm not sure any one knows for sure. Author L Rea in BTPB states that he believes that the space is occupied after a while by nerves and other supporting systems.

I don't have a definite answer for that either sorry

 

[roidpuple]

well i dont believe it would fill with nerves??? either scar tissue or maybe even muscle... it is strange shit that is for sure....

 

[Raffaz]

Definately something i wouldnt consider. If its done wrong it would look shite. And i guess it would feel soft, so when you tensed your muscle, it wouldnt be solid.
