Synthol

So just wonders what you think? I think it look un-natural and Ridiculos. But why is it legal and what is the actual purpose of it ?

You have to be good with needles though. If you were use them on your arms for instance, you need to injected each muscle head once a day for a month then 'top up' there after. So thats 2 shots for each bicep and 3 for each tricep. So 10 IM shots per day.
Its been known for people to gain 3" on their arms in that month, then when swelling subsides it drops to around 2".
Its taken me the last 2 years to do the same, so its easy to see why people put themselves through the discomfort

Every picture I have seen of people using it they never have any sort of definition, always just looks bloated / fat and as if the muscle is really soft.
Is this just mis-use? Or will it subside like you say and you can get some definition back?

I'd have thought it's just how it goes if you use it to look big, because it's just oil or something, so you wont get that veiny solid look, I'd imagine they would just look like they are filled with fluid, because they probably are... I'd imagine if you use it in small amounts to achieve that symmetrical look as Dusher was saying, then you probably wont notice, but if you use it to make yourself look big then essentially I guess you are just "inflating" your muscle so it's going to end up like a balloon? That's only what I'd guess though, haven't read anything about it as it doesn't interest me.

Some people go over the top and look like fucking idiots...
I imagine if used properly can be extremely effective, but some people must pump gallons into their bi's & tri's and they just look like they have water balloons in their arms...

So If I take B vitamins orally I'm not cheating, but the second I inject the exact same thing I'm "Cheating"?
Cheating at what exactly? I dont get how using AAS or anything injectable is "cheating" not as if there are rules to lifting weights?
It's like me saying "Anyone who puts throttle bodies on their car is cheating"
Cheating at what? (for the record I've never injected anything into myself lol)

Please elaborate. If you injected would you consider yourself as a cheat ?

Jay cutler almost dropped out of an Olympia because of a bad synthol injection to his left arm. Loads on it on the internet. Im sure most of the pros use it. Its that competitive I cant see why, anything to get ahead.

If I injected any form of "performance enhancer" be it for actual performance or appearance gains, just cheating in my opinion ?

I think its more that anything injected usually brings with it this assumption that it is usually bad for you unless of course it is for a medical condition.

I reckon it's 95% jealousy... On the whole, people who are on gear are generally bigger, stronger and better looking (aesthetically, body wise) than those who choose to remain natural and I reckon this prompts the nats to almost justify why they don't look as good/lift as much by branding the other a cheater... Similarly, if someone on gear was to look down their nose at a nat, then yeah, I can see why someone who take the "cheater" route.
I just reckon each to their own.

Indeed, I'm a scrawny git atm and I would not consider taking anything that you cannot buy off the shelf at my local supplement store. I for one though am not jealous of anyone that uses "gear" to look bigger as realistically anyone can do that.
