I have used Dave Palumbos Synthol before and it worked like a charm. Unforuatently, I couldn't afford to keep buying the stuff. With that being said, a buddy and I are in the process of making it and following this recipe:
http://forums.steroid.com/educationa...g-synthol.html
Has anyone ever made their own before? The only thing that I am worried about is the fact the we didn't use silica in ours, which seems to be a key ingredient in the newer versions. Can anyone vouch for this recipe?

Unfortunately that's not technically making syntholOriginally Posted by Bronzer
What your doing is making sterile coconut oil!
Both synthol and syntherol have the addition of silica which you do not!
new member
It still works, just needs more maintenance.
"cool as shit and knows his stuff"
It's just stretching the fascia though no different than doing spot injections with prop
The silica helps the fascia stay stretched for longer
If the OP is not using this for comp prep to bring up a lagging part then it's just not worth it in my opinion
Anabolic Member
Should I use more than I normally would?
Senior Member
why would you even use synthol ?
not smart move
Senior Member
I agree. It's a crap compound and you look retarded, unnatural, and sometimes highly disproportionate. It's not any real gains its just filling yourself up with an oil... I don't understand why people use the stuff
Senior Member
you can get huge with food+ AAS+ HGh and even slin
i dont see any reason for synthol... like NONE!
VET
but then you have to WORK for it if you use aas...why do that when you can fill your muscles up with oil and sit on the couch...

Just so some are aware..... The op is 270lbs or so currently...... I've met him and have trained with him. So I'm sure he's not asking because he's too lazy to work out lol
VET
270lb and he needs to get bigger lol, that's dedication . fuark ill never see 270 my bp would be so high I would explode. Since some are bashing it I believe it could be used to bring up a bodypart if excess wasn't used. I need some in my calfs, not many would be able to tell the diff if you just used it to put an inch or two on your calves. kudos to the op for achieving such mass!
AR-Elite Hall of Famer
I'm not sure what he wants me to reveal about him so I won't. I know why he wants to use it......
My personal belief is that synthol has its purpose. All pros use it..... It's more common than most think. It's not something I have used and I don't think I'll ever have much use for it but Bronzer may benefit from the fascia stretching.
I guess what I'm trying to say is...... Before we discredit someone - lets get to the root of the problem. Many would argue steroid are cheating. They'd say that the human body can't maintain 250 and being lean without steroids. Steroids have their place to us tho right? Synthol has its place.....
VET
I hear you loud and clear bro and retract my statement...good looking out for your bro...my apologies to the op....
Junior Member
I can't help but laugh when people begin to speak negatively of synthol. Don't be a victim of the media, and the few idiots out there that abuse the compound and look like goons. There are a plethora (many, many more than you think) of bodybuilders whom include synthol in their drug protocol, and don't think for a second your idols and favourite bodybuilders aren't included on that list. Synthol is an amazing compound that promotes long term growth, manipulation of muscle heads, and an added pop just before a show.
Senior Member
Haz bro. nice to see you chime in
i didnt mean that he is lazy
i mean 270 is incredible but why synthol.. it can only ruin the body and its dangerous .. there is absolutely no need for it
but i guess he knows what he is doing

I won't get into why he wants to use it because it's not my place but synthol can be used with success. It obviously can be abused and you can ruin the shape of your muscle but if used correctly...... You wouldn't know someone was using it

I think synthol like every thing else has its place. Ur not simply filling ur muscles with oil. U r in effect leaving your muscles less resistance from the muscle facia and ensuring ample space to expand into. Don't use it myself I just spot pin. Works well enough for me. Although I'm 30lbs behind op lol
VET
we determined its good to use, just like aas, don't abuse it. BUT, I will say this..do not do this to yourself lol!Attachment 142268

Haz, thank you for stepping in buddy. You pretty much talk all the words out of my mouth.
I have a muscle group that does not grow for the life of me. I have trained with Haz numerous times, following exact same work outs, lifting the same #s, and my god damn arms do not grow. I have never had arms over 17.25" in my life. (Even at 281lbs in November)...
With that being said, I wholeheartedly believe that I am the perfect candidate for Synthol. I've used it before and it put an inch on my arms in a few weeks, and looked rock hard and realistic. Sadly, it's extremely expensive to buy by fortunately very cheap to make...
Senior Member
you can actually shoot Synthol and muscle will look hard and veiny ??
then what happened to greg valentino ?
Anabolic Member
Valentino used way too much. If you're looking to put 1"-2" on your arms - no one will know you're using Synthol. If you put 10" on your arms, yes - it's going to look absurd. That man tarnished the name of a perfectly safe, effective compound.

Synthol has it's place, but has a bad rep due to all the horror stories of people abusing it.
Known Troll
I have the same problem. My arms grow so fing sllooww! I look stupid with a 50" chest and 17" arms. I'm working them with more intensity than any other part (except legs, because I love crawling and puking!) And they're responding but still much slower than other areas. You guys have given me new respect for synthol. I'm going to look into it more.
Known Troll
Bronzer or haz, is there anything permanent to be gained from proper use of synthol or is it completely temporary?
Anabolic Member
The idea behind it is to stretch the fascia by filling it up with the oil, when the oil slowly leaves the muscle, it will expand and allow room for more growth. You need to constantly stretch and massage the area so it doesn't clump up. You need to follow a proper maintenance phase too, and this can be extremely costly, which is why I am in the process of making my own stuff.
AR-Elite Hall of Famer
Nothing is really permanent...... Not even aas gains. I mean..... Eventually you'll return to a normal human size. With that said...... If you are using synthol to stretch fascia and give separation then you are in for a long journey. You'll still have to build tissue.
If you just want it for vanity..... It won't be permanent by any means
Senior Member
i heard you have to shoot ridiculous amounts of oils like 30 cc in each biceps head
and use cattle syringes
sounds ****in painful
"cool as shit and knows his stuff"
This is why I mentioned using it for contest prep for lagging muscle groups in one of my first replies
I still don't think the sterile coconut oil is any good for the job.
You may aswell do a tne or suspension cycle and use that to stretch the fascia.
If suspension isn't your cup of tea use the home made "synthol" add some bb and test base to it and get some gains from it aswell.
AR-Elite Hall of Famer
I'll go with that.....
Anabolic Member
Soo that recipe is basically useless without Silica?
"cool as shit and knows his stuff"
It's just oil buddy that's all.
The silica will keep the fascia open longer as its a more permanent compound than oil which dissipates over time.

Pann you really know your shit mate

Very interesting thread. Learned a lot about a compound I thought I knew more about than I did. That's why I'm here I guess... Education

I'm still learning here..... It's a great resource

Synthol has three amazing purposes:
1. Providing a stretch of the muscle fascia to increase the volume of space in which fibres can grow. This is as permanent as any muscle growth.
2. Providing the ability to manipulate the shape of your muscle; if you were genetically provided an elongated muscle head or a heightened muscle peak, you can tweak these shapes to the shape in which you desire. This is also as permanent as any muscle growth.
3. In the final days/weeks of a contest prep, you can slam oil deep down into the muscle belly to cause an artificial swelling and expansion. This is in no way permanent, but, if you can walk on stage looking exactly like you had the week prior with an additional 0.5" - 1" on every muscle... wouldn't you want to?
Synthol use is just as rampant as AAS, peps, slin, gH, etc., etc., etc.
VET
Exactly. X2.
Known Troll
Great thread. Thanks for the answer to my question guys.
VET
needs to be a "synthol" sticky or even its own forum unless of course there already is and I don't know about it. A lot of folks would like to know more about it including myself, not that I would ever use but hell, if I could get away with another 2" on my arms and calves I just might do it for summer months.

Gotta admit. Only reason I know a fair bit was because looking into it. But. Whoo. There is an insane amount of constant n I mean constant massaging which I hear can be quite painful. Before. During. After workouts. Throughout the day. No joke. As said before its long term commitment
