What???
Orca, where did you read that SYnthol "gains" can be permanent?
Synthol does NOT build muscle. It's just a nasty oil that you inject until it makes a bump in your skin, which not-too-bright users think looks like muscle. (To the rest of us it looks like a cancer tumor.)
Your body gradually absorbs the oil (and God only knows what effects on your system THAT produces -- there have been no studies of long-term side effects) and nothing remains except the hole where you shot the shit.
All Synthol does is swell you up temporarily -- like the dentist's Novocain which makes your cheek swell up for a few hours. It has nothing to do with training, sport, or bodybuilding.
I may sound like a broken record here, but Synthol is the most bullshit insult to bodybuilding in years -- maybe ever.
If you're really desperate to put lumps on your body, hit yourself all over with a hammer. The swelling that produces will look more like real muscle than the tumerous growths you get from Synthol.
Did you guys see that fool in MuscleMag who pumps himself full of Synthol and boasts of his 63 inch arms or whatever ... what a buffoon! If you don't want to be a walking JOKE, stay away from Synthol and loudly object to its use.
We need to get this crap out of our sport, the sooner the better.
