    Synthol

    From time to time synthol is brought up for discussion on this forum. It's rumored that different big time bodybuilders have used it. Well if you have ever thought of using synthol here's an article and video about a guy who almost had to have his arms amputated because of using it. It's not a drug to be taken lightly. Better just to leave it alone or risk losing a limb.

    I never understood why anyone would want to take this nasty stuff. Apart from the health issues, every photo of someone I've seen who's on it, looks ridiculous. What's the appeal?

    Yeah Nach I've seen that one. Gregg Valentino is the guys name. He seems to be more functional than the guy from Brazil. His muscles are probably toast too but he acts like he's ok. Synthol is some wicked stuff.

    The dude wanted to look like the Hulk but he looks more like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. He messed himself up big time.

    this is IMO right up there with people who die, or almost die, of severe anorexia. This is a very real significant mental health problem. No person in a healthy mental state would do this, he even speaks about some mental health issues.

    Yeah he looks like the same guy in the other vid. Like some have mentioned about mental disorders, that's right up there with these bone skinny people thinking they are fat. It's how you see and perceive yourself. We all have a little of this I guess. How big is big enough? How strong is strong enough? You see the people that are addicted to tanning. They tan themselves into leather almost. People will go to no end to achieve their desires. .......even if it kills them.
