Besides the obvious cases like Gregg V, how can you tell by looking at a bodybuilder that he uses synthol. Is that what the judges also look for during a contest?
-
if you broaden the topic to synthol and site injections, you look for muscles that are just as big relaxed as when flexed, have a peak when relaxed, sharp angles and bumps where there shouldn't be. but I don't think judges are really looking for it
-
You also look for places where condition is strangely lacking. Ie if the guy is razor sharp but has no bicep detail.
-
The judges really aren't looking for much else exept size!

SAD :-\

Anyone have pictures comparing a person before and after Synthol use?

Well said! Markus Ruhl's biceps come readily to mind.
They have peaks even when resting at his sides. His peaks, regardless of the angle, have an unnatural apex that does look sharp ( almost pointed ).
It pisses me off how the top competitors are somewhat immune to the criticism. Caprise Murray's oil is less obvious, in my opinion, than Markus Ruhl's, yet the news writers in the major publications overtly imply in nearly every write-up that he is injecting something into his deltoids. On the otherhand, FLEX publishes Markus Ruhl's "word" that he has never used synthol in his life because it destroys muscle, hahahaha.
Its sad, because the publications will usually mention anything suspicious when it is an amateur or lower echelon professional. I wonder if the supplement companies pay the publishers to refrain from tarnishing the image of the top contract athletes with even a subtle implication that, oh my god, their physique may be enhanced with oil! Or for that matter, enhanced with something more than whatever overpriced, unregulated garbage in pill/powder/gel form these thieves are peddling. ::)

Who was that amateur bodybuilder from Massachusetts that competed at a show in Boston with his arms full of synthol?
I think he posts at Mayhem. There were pictures of him on stage and they were unbelievable. I don't know how the judges didn't just ask him to leave. I think there was one picture of him doing a handstand.
He was the worst I've ever seen, of course Valvolino and those idiots from Europe notwithstanding.

Ruhl's biceps are jsut like Darrem Charles - you wouldnt accuse Darrem of using, would you?

Ruhl site injected and prob. used synthol alot more a few years back. His arms and shoulder always had a flat very swollen appearance. I donīt think he uses synthol anymore, but he definitely injects his biceps with some gear. That you can see on the amount of scartissue he has in his biceps and the lack of brachialis development and definition at the sides of the arms. That is not anatomically correct and yes they differ alot from Darrems, his are striated all day long.
