synthol question?

[ChestNBack]

1st why is there no section dedicated to synthol?

2nd I know some people might look at these synthol freaks and not see it as a tool but I am interested in its use to help develop the area of injection. Think Flex Wheeler at 99 olympia when he syntholed his delts and calves.

3rd Does anybody have experience with Steve delucas painless pumps?

CNB, lol, you're all over the place! First it was deca and GH in another thread, now it's synthol. Didn't you mention your bf is also above 15%?

I haven't used synthol so I can't give an experience based answer. I've seen its effect and identified a few guys at my local gym that are likely using it. I'm not a fan of the appearance synthol gives - too unnatural IMO. I see very little need for it recreationally. I can understand why some guys might use it for pre-competition to increase the appearance of mass, but for most guys on this forum, I see no need or no place for it.

I'm curious as to what others will say, particularly anyone who has used it and why.

I want to compete and right now i'm adding size. Hope to do my first show in a year or so. I am not leaving any stone unturned and I want to learn as much as I can an keep all options open

I ran it twice. I put 1.5" on my arms and it looked really good. The negatives are how much pain you are in and how quickly use lose the "gains" when you stop using it. I was in so much pain sometimes that I couldn't even bench 135lbs. I did the maintenance phase and tapered down slowly, but eventually you lose everything. I never had much luck permanently stretching the fascia..I homebrewed my own and pretty much got the same results then I did when using Synthetek name brand.

Nothing wrong with wanting to compete. At 31, you've probably missed the prime age to go pro. Like you, I'm hoping to compete, if only once, but for me it would be physique not BB. I'm almost 45 and happy with my career. Competition would only be a hobby, but one that I would take seriously enough to qualify for the stage but not to the extreme of using compounds that had very little benefit.

I've used it a few times with excellent results but majority of guys just go over the top with it and don't use it to stretch the fascia. It's extremely painful if you do it right and takes a lot of guts to inject into bruises each day and to compete the massage and stretching protocol.

Should only be considered if you have been training for a long time and you have very tight fascia restricting growth

pain with the painless pumps or synthol in general? reviews on the painless pumps say its painless

I ran it in my biceps. As mentioned above the key is not to go overboard. I stopped when I felt my biceps become tighter. I was successful in stretching the fascia however, I did loose some of the size as I expected. I would use it again but anyone who is considering it should do so cautiously.

I know a lot of people use this stuff pre-contest cycle. but what about on a bulk cycle. My shoulders are stubborn. I don't care if I loose size once I finish using it. My hope is that I can stretch the fascia. Side and front delts and maybe rear delts.

When I ran synthol it was in conjunction with a test/tren/mast cycle. I wanted the best results possible, never tried it anywhere else except biceps so I can not comment on results with other muscle groups.

Yes it's all painful and I mean seriously painful. Stretching the fascia is not for someone who has only been training for a short time. Every possible way to build muscle must be implemented before even considering this oil. It's not as simple as injecting it and it's done it takes time and a maintenance period must be used and many days you won't be able to move your arms

My honest opinion don't use it. It's not for you.

Marcus.. With what you've detailed, how in the world would someone use this in their calves? I've heard of a few pros doing this.. Also, with the extreme pain involved, is this where the hard core pain killers come in to play?

It's the same protocol for calves and arms. The oil already as a pain killer in it and even if you medicate more it does nothing. It's painful stretching a tight fascia is extremely painful and many don't complete the proper protocol and that's why on most it doesn't work.

I wouldn't advice anyone to use it. It's for the very advanced who have been training a long time and tried every training system going to stimulate growth.

Agreed...I have used Synthetek Syntherol (the only brand I would recommend) in bis and tris with great results! It is definitely for the advanced bodybuilder, not for someone expecting to get some quick gains, as 9 times out of 10 they will not keep any of them.....

I did not experience the extreme pain that some others do...I believe that's strictly individual but, no matter who you are, you are going to feel those last 10 days of the 3ml phase! You are correct, massaging and stretching are a must post injection and frequently throughout the day, which also helps greatly with the pain!

Most people do not follow or finish the complete protocol and then complain about not being able to keep what they gained...If you are going to put in the time to run a Syntherol protocol, you better be dedicated and understand completely that it is going to take a lot of time, injections and patience!

To much pain for no long term benefits in my opinion
