Synthol is as retarded as it sounds. Its simply oil, injected into an area to physically enlargen it. It's temporary, as the body slowly absorbs it.

There's no pharmacological action at all. Simply physically stretching the area with the mass of oil.

*that's* what made his arms explode.

im thinking the latter

Oooo that's nasty. Looked at some of those pictures from Shortspanishguy's post and man oh man! What are these guys thinking? It not only looks terribly deformed and way out of proportion with the rest of their bodies, but they really don't look well. It almost seems to me like they would have a mental illness that would cause them to be unsatisfied with their body so much to do this to themselve. Almost like bulimia or anorexia, but reversed.

It is supposed to stretch the fascia so more hypertrophy can occur. There are bbers that use synthol but they use it in smaller doses. I will never ever use it.

He knows what he's doing is making him a freak, and HE WANTS IT. Not everyone wants practical and boring lives to fit in.
If he thought he was cool by making himself like that, then yes, you would be right, he's stupid. But the fact is, he doesn't.
FYI, that for most people is the definition of stupid.

virtualgames0,
That is like saying two kids both touch a hot stove and get burned, but one knows he will get burned but does it anyways continuously. So the one that knows in your opinion is not stupid. I believe most people would say he is more stupid.

When used (as opposed to abused) with knowledge and intelligence they are fairly safe. After all, our bodies naturally produce them. Some men who lose one or both testicles for whatever reason, or who have one of a number of maladies affecting testosterone levels, are prescribed steroids, sometimes for life. Guys like the idiot in this show just fuel the FUD which helps keep this knowledge out of the hands of so many people who'd benefit from it.

People like him are the reason the image is bad in the first place. People only know what they see on TV. I know Doctors and lawyers who use and are very respectable/responsible people. Did you ever see the Steroid special on HBO? Its the closest thing you will get to the truth.

'Roids don't do that to you if taken correctly..

In a few months I am going to do a 12 week cycle with Test Enathate 500mg a week and should be perfectly fine.

Do you have ancillaries and PCT to go along with that cycle?

Also what brand is your test?

How old are you?
