Now this is funny...
The guys who don't use it bash it, the guys who do use it, like it.
Here are some names for you....
Do you guys remember that Hubert Manfred (sp?) strongman who had the biggest arms about 4 years ago? before you knew about synthol, I bet you thought to yourself, "He's huge!" not "That doesn't look right?"
How about Ruhl? His Bi's don't look all misformed and bloated...
Nasser? Same
Ronnie? Same
Basicly, if you didn't spend time building the muscle, you can't fill it with much oil or it looks stupid, which is why your good buddy greg looks like an ASS!!! This is also why Flex appears so smooth...not enough muscle for the amount of oil.
You guys can have your opinions about it good or bad, but damn, don't just repeat what you hear or use bad examples to attempt to prove your point (which will just leave us experienced guys to laugh at you), because there are far more good examples.... so good in fact that you wouldn't know they were using.
