Synthol. Go for the vein? Or not?

this is NOT true if done correctly. Some size increase is seen as a permanent one. I know from experience.

i would have to disagree with that... if you have no experience injecting synthol ur not going to see the same perfection you will see when say the pros do it... you have to get a handle for where to place the shot for optimal peaks, and what works for u... and there is no permenant size gain from synthol... after the inflammation goes down the effect from synthol is gone....

Ive read that their are just a very few "experts" who inject virtually all the pros with synthol. Dave Palumbo described it as a art form. Synthol use is a very advanced method of enhancing muscle. I wouldn't know where to inject to get the desired affect. Definately not for the novice.

Synthol, if used as recommended, stretches the muscle fascia to allow further muscle growth. So, as that growth occurs, it would be permanent real muscle.


How do Site Oils work? To begin with, they do not stay in the muscle for 3 to 5 years. They get dissipated within months. However, during this time, they have stretched the fascia of that muscle. The fascia is a great constrictive factor in muscle growth. The more stretched the fascia is the more the muscle will grow and the more it will have that `popping' look. Site oils stay in there long enough for the fascia to stretch. As they dissipate, the `space' left by them is replaced with new muscle tissue growth. That is the reason why when x-rays/MRIs where performed on some of the people that have 25"+ arms, there was no oil found in there. The oil dissipated and it was replaced by real muscle.
The principle is the same as the one behind site shots with steroids, but it works at a much a larger degree, because the Site Oils take that much longer to dissipate.
As well, this is the same principle behind fascial stretching. Howver, it is much more efficient with Site Oils. Best example is to imagine a baloon. You can pull on it and stretch it as much as you want, and you will stretch it a bit. But if you fill it with a liquid, you will be able to stretch it to a much larger degree than just pulling on it from the outside. This is the best way to compare the efficiency of fascial stretching versus using Site Oils.

LOL. Ok then, I guess I am hullicinating. I had never used it before and on my first run I picked up about 1/2 inch on my left arm and maybe 1/4 inch on my right. I did more volume in the left to bring it up closer to the size of my right, now they look symetrical. Yes, the size does shrink when you come off of it, but some is retained, and it was not that difficult to do. BTW, have you even tried it on your own, what makes you such an expert on this?

Like Maldorf said it is not that difficult to do. But keep in mind the pain depending on body part can be significant and you will be sticking yourself a lot even by bodybuilding standards.

Now, I have not intention of hitting with the stuff, however, out of curiosity, can it lead to a potential injury?

Even when used correctly, so far as I know, it still leads to a build up of scar tissue.

Wouldn't that scar tissue, in the muscle, lead to tearing?

I realize it would add some size, the question comes up as to weather or not it is scar tissue.

Even if it looks good on stage (when done right).
