Did you actually have atrophy in the calves when this occurred?  Not familiar with this syndrome, and it’s interesting to consider.


When it flared up I couldn't even do a calf raise because my leg felt so weak. Fortunately I have a friend who is a physical therapist and they knew right away what it was. i was pain free after a few weeks. So I didn't lose any muscle- but I can see how a chronic case would lead to atrophy.

From what I've read it's metabolized slower so it sits longer in the muscle. Plus some Synthol products contain silica to extend it further, IIRC.

Sits longer? Why? It's a medium chain fat? But, nonetheless, how much longer? A pro is injecting multiple times with multiple ccs every day. They always have oil in their muscles. How do they have room for Synthol? If they need silica to promote more swelling why don't they make gear using Synthol oil, i.e., MCT.

I'm not sure how much longer but that claim is frequently made, though now that I think about it, others have said MCT oil actually absorbs pretty fast.
See for example:
https://synthetek.com/en/the-science-behind-syntherol/

But looking at logs at forums you really, really have to work for it, often with pretty small results. To put that amount of gear into muscles, especially several at a time, would have you taking a ton of gear. Some don't get much out of Synthol apparently. Dusty Hanshaw said he got a lot out of site injects of regulargear into his arms but didn't get anything out of delt injects

I wonder if small amounts of especially unesterified steroids might cause a small local effect due to higher saturation in the muscle injected, though you frequently read recommendations not to combine Synthol (mct) with regular gear, why exactly, I don't know.

I just heard one pro discussing another pro, how he was doing maybe 5 grams of gear a week but in addition shooting Synthol all day long all over his body. This pro I couldn't really tell was a Synthol freak except for his delts which look a bit pointy in certain poses.

Great post, love this sorta stuff! Who is the pro? Loads of them got that pointy delts look now.

Curry looks surprisingly good, improved over last year. Looks to be in shape from what I can tell, the Livestream has absolute shit resolution. His legs actually got quite a bit better. Good for him.

I did say Livestream I could be mistaken.

Anyway the Livestream was so terrible it reminded me of webcaming but back when we only had dialup modems. Horrid.

I see zero improvement in Curry's legs.  Overall, he actually looks small compared to Phil.  Rami & Hadi should be 1 & 2.  Akim looks great.  Bonac looks like his legs came back up, but he looks blockier and his arms seem smaller.  I'd have Bonac and Heath fighting for 5th & 6th.

Bonacs midsection seems I dunno, more present than before? It kept drawing my attention.

I think it was deleted from the thread. I don't see it posted. I did get some content on youtube. With clearer pics Ramy looks even better. As long as he can hold on to his condition for the night show this is finally his year.

Ramy dwarfs everyone on stage.  Phil's midsection is the worst I've ever seen on an Olympia stage.  He better not win.

Curry's legs actually shrunk. I see Heath winning.
Heath is dethroning Curry  :-[
