    synthol?

    my biceps dont stick up and it makes me so mad
    my arms grow and grow and my biceps stay the same they get bigger but dont have that tennis ball look.

    if i were to inject synthol in my biceps would it make them grow and get that tennis ball shape?

    or does synthol cause that nasty looking muscle that i have seen?
    if taken in small doses for a short amount of time will it help?

    i would be leary of ever touching that crap but it has helped some peeps.if you want to do it id go see a doctor. ive seen some pretty bad synthol work. genetics have a lot to do with how our muscles take shape. good luck

    Bicep peaks are mainly genetic bro...using synthol will give it more of a round look...however beware as it can also make the bicep look watery and lose any definition you have....My advise leave that crap alone!!!

    Synthol is not the remedy for this problem, or any for that matter.

    I first ran into this phenomenon in graduate school. A gym regular came over to me, struck a bicep pose and asked why they was so flat. After asking a few poignant questions about his routine the cause was clear.

    The problem invariably inherent to those who have virtually no peak, but instead possess long, strong, tight and otherwise well-developed bicep muscles is quite simple and largely two-fold. Firstly, and most importantly, you are doing TO MANY full range of motion exercises. This type of regimen promotes the aforementioned development because you’re essentially stretching the muscle to greatly with every lift, consequently developing it with a stretched inclination. The proper remedy for this is partials (1/4, 1/2, 3/4s) exercises which work the bicep well within its more natural rounded manner.

    Secondly, and although less important but still a problem, you’re likely not doing the types of exercises that profoundly enhance roundness. These include but are not limited, to REVERSE CURLS (curls wherein the palms are in the downward position), these are best performed with an easy bar or with various attachments on the cable machine, and specifically work the brachialis or small muscle beneath the bicep that protrudes outward like a little ball between the bi and tri. This muscle helps to bolster the bicep and augment the peak. (TO VIEW BRACHIALIS CLICK THIS LINK THEN CLICK AND DRAG THE ILLUSTRATION LINE TO “5” OR “6”… http://www.getbodysmart.com/ap/muscu.../tutorial.html)

    Another invaluable peak exercise that was heavily used and rightfully credited as being instrumental for this purpose by a guy with arguably the best peaks in history. Robbie Robinson was a huge proponent of the PREACHER CURL, an exercise so named because the apparatus severely limits your ability to cheat, should be a part of every bicep regimen. But remember not to use a full extension as is so often practiced in gyms, but rather use the mirror and when your forearm reaches the breaking point (about 135 degrees or midway between 90 and 180), stop and begin your accent.

    I'm so sure excessive full extensions and the failure to properly employ these two exercises are your problem that I'd be willing to stake Marcus' life on it! Am I wrong?

    Best to you.

    I believe he means go down halfway or 3/4 of the way and whatnot. So if your doing preacher curls go all the way up to the top then on the way back down stop when your arms are around a 130 degree angle or less then go back up. So in other words just dont fully straighten your arm go down halfway or so

    What this guy needs is more overall mass. You say your arms grow and grow, well that must've been for only a few months as you're not very muscular. Your problem is primarily one of diet (calories, specifically), not exerting yourself enough during training may be another factor.

    There is a proper way to use synthol but your nowhere near ready for trying it, synthol should only be used when every other method as been used to the max and many yrs of training under your belt. A proper synthol protocol can stretch the fascia which will help with growth while on a cycle to build in an area were its being restricted by a tight fascia, its a painfull process but it can be done.

    This should only be considered if every other method as been tried and tested over yrs of hard training, synthol is used by nearly every pro going and its used by many freaks who use it the wrong way which is normally what everyone see's in the media.

    I would stay away from synthol until you have tried everything else possible over many yrs.
