Someone seriously answer this for me:
does synthol help w strength, or is it just for cosmetic appearance of larger muscles?
I can't understand why, WITHOUT a boost in strength, anyone would put that shit in their body...it doesn't even look close to legit..........so, my question, does it boost strength?
In short, no. Synthol does nothing to enhance or increase strength. It's only oil injected into the muscle, much like water filling a balloon. In order to be stronger, you have to either thicken muscle fibers, or increase the amount of them. Synthol does neither.
So, why would someone want to use it? In bodybuilding, it's about what you look like. The weights are only the means to the end, in which posing on stage is the end goal. A bodybuilding contest is NOT a sport, but the means one uses to get there (in the gym, lifting) IS. Being on stage flexing is what it's about for many, and if you have a weakness in your calves that keeps you from winning, you want to do something to bring your calves to no longer be a weakness or at least not as much. So, oil/synthol, is only one way to do this. Implants, site injections, real work in the gym, are other options too. But sticking a needle in your weakness is an easier fix for someone who wants to win "Mr. Ontario" than telling them they have to invest hundreds or thousands of hours in the gym to bring up there calves- and of those hours you enlist, all of them will be ball busting hardcore self inflicted pain filled workouts. Compare that to a 5 minute preparation of sticking a needle in your calf with a chance of having it lump out and you being branded a "synthol user!" Then you get on GetBig to see your photo posted!
So, in the end, it has nothing to do with Bodybuilding except it helps with the vanity, and nature, of the game.
