What percentage of your gym members use synthol?

[Coach is Back!]

About 90% in my gym. I have my clients shoot up before they leave. Makes me look good when people ask questions.

[Alucard]

My gym is small compared to american ones, nowhere near as many people... Still two guys using it, one SEO plus PMMA in his arms (believe it or not), looks like shit, weird chunks of meat...

[Mawse]

Interesting, I didn't realize the results from synthol  are temporary and short term.

Knowing this its baffling  how much crap these nut jobs must be pumping into their arms/delts/chest.

Thanks

It's not all bad - the dead muscle tissue is permanent, and the scarring and nerve damage is long term

I've known a couple of arm challenged NPC guys to use it and their arms predictably looked like shit even in modest amounts I could see double peaks and that classy bump look that Jerry is sporting

I can understand your view point on it. I used it in offseason to try to strech the muscle so I could get the biggest pump to allow "room" for growth. Never used it since. I wasn't using it as a visual aid like on stage. It was just another tool in my tool box. 

I only used it for like 2 months a few years ago

Remember what our mom's advised Mike.
* Just because the other kids are jumping off the bridge, doesn't mean YOU have to do it.

Synthol isn't bodybuilding and has NOTHING to do with building muscle.

Injecting steroids to make your muscles artificially large = OK
Injecting oil to make your muscles artificially large = not OK.

I think the existing 48 pgs of rules on the IFBB pro div web site against banned substances should be enforced.
It's a matter of priority for me in regards to synthol.

I'm against extreme drug use , but synthol doesn't even build muscle. It's the worst.
Synthol and modern bench shirts make a mockery of the modern hardcore lifting and bodybuilding.
It's like allowing web gloves and flippers in a swim meet.

Bench shirts, agreed.

But all bodybuilding cares about is the end result.  Both are substances that produce similar end results in the context of BB, so I disagree.

It's one of those if you draw a line thing... So all the other drugs are good but not this drug less oil? What about escaline? It's just personal option at this point.

If you can do it right and it looks good and symmetrical who I'm I to say anything? It's ok you blasted 2 grams of aas but you used oil so it dosnt count?

Well put...that's where I was going.  It's a draw the line thing as you say.  Until everything is completely drawn out and the rules change, what you see now is what everyone is stuck with, until they take it to an even more ridiculous level.

can you explain what "dead muscle tissue is???"

must need lots to cause the sides you speak of. Fresh pins for every shot is a must and done every 4 days will not cause scar tissue.

I saw one guy at my gym with it when I lived in Vegas, his name was Carrot Top..

LOL! Guys like this just give it such a bad name. Used normally, as it's said, you should not be able to tell unless you want to attract attention like that to yourself...

[SF1900]

I think he overdid the synthol.

Proportions are spot on

[ritch]

LOL! Suprised no pics have been posted yet as such, lol!

Must be painful beyond comprehension guys to do that shit.

Tried only once (no need to, not a weak point) in tri's and bi's, a little bit of oil... Could hardly carrry my gym bag the pain was that bad. Was working door at the time and knew I was defenceless if something happened until the pain went away...

Before the oil dispersed in my arm, there was a complete bump, fuked up looking, disporportionate in my arm and was freaking out.Thought I had become "one of them" but did some pump sets and the oil dispersed and looked fine, but the pain is just not possible to train other body parts.

Probably why they synthol the rest of it as well, lol! If you can't train them, gotta make them "big" somehow I guess, lol..

He even has veins in his chest, very similar to Paul Dillet.

That's what I'm saying even just a couple cc's fucking hurt! These guys have to be on a all sorts of pain killers

But the guys who take it the furthest, seem to be the most broke, not sure if they have the cash for them! Or does tylenol do the job? No idea, not gonna find out, lol....

you know that's complete horseshit right.

no sane person would put that shit in their muscles

There is nothing sane about deiting and drugs you have to do. Nothing. It take a certain type of person.

Just like tattoo freaks or no rope climbing

Interesting read. I wonder if his product was clean?

I'd still say normal, non consistent use should be fine.

[latiuss]

I thought snol was used just before show/showday to bring up lagging parts. Fuck using it in the offseason might aswell put prop or suspension in the muscle at least you might actually get abit of growth in that area.

pretty sure SEO's are used pre show... NOt synthol, different products...

Sir, respectfully sir, what the fuck is "no rope climbing" ?   I'm pretty sure we're all doing that right now.

Edit: I think you mean "free climbing" or climbing dangerous exposed pitches without safety gear, ie no ropes  and harness.
