Lots of guys used prop for the inflammation reaction and also lots of eq to swell the muscle. EQ was 50mg/ml. But if Dorian wants to be exact Ernie used Pump n’ Pose (synthol)
There was another synthol on the market that had lidocaine and like a filler. Crazy times.
There have been a few, the base was always MCT oil. There was silica, I suppose for the staying power of the oil, some had collagen, said to cause massive amounts amounts of scar tissue, painkillers. But I've shot plenty of steroid oils and that gave me no synthol-like gains. Even synthol is something you really have to pound very hard and accept the pain. Most give up. So Valentino's couldn't have even been MCT oil, there is more.
You can play the sematic game with Ernie but I wouldn't say that those results are just from steroid oils, it's MCT at the least. Later tried to "jimmy up" his teardrops and what not, to bad result.
Bostin had like 4 different "posing oils" from 1-4 and none had any ingredients listed. So how would you know which to choose? Ridiculous.
I think Palumbo still sells the Pump N Pose, Chris Clark design.
