Why???

Often used in calves and arms. But at least it's not 90% of their muscles. This not new, I remember in the 80-90s, something similar was used, it was called esiclene.

I agree with you Scott, I could not use this myself.

Dude, some low level amateurs use it. I recfall about four or five years ago a competitor at a level two Ontario show using it is his pecs. he stuck it in around the lower, outer portion. I had never seen pecs shaped like this before. It was ridiculous but the judges awarded him second place in the light heavies I think. He should have been dead last , it was so ****ing obvious. As far as the pros go ? I'd say that Nasser El Sonbaty ruined his build with it a few years before he died - particlularly his delts. Ernie Taylor's tris looked very suspicious. Attachment 36449

Oh wow, but if they do use it, how are they able to look so cut everywhere? Even if they only use a little, wouldn't it show when your bodyfat is 4-5%? It must distort the muscle a bit right?

Have you seen this guy with synthol leaking at a show :

Great picture! You can totally see it in his triceps! Wow that is bad that they awarded the Ontario competitor 2nd place. Is it just me, or does it seem like it is cheating in a sense? I mean, your not really building the muscle to be the biggest, now you can just inject synthol and be bigger than the other guy who worked hard for the extra inch. It seems unfair to me.

I think Hosehead answered your question with that photo of Ernie Taylor. His tri's don't look cut or even proportionate to the rest of his body.

Yeah true. Sorry about that. Wow... if you type synthol into google and look up images there is a picture of a guys arm who exploded because of synthol apparently. Wow.

One of the mods from PM wrote a good article on it a few years back.Used correctly you won't know for sure.He used his own calves as as proof and described exactly how it had to be done,and what would happen if not quite correctly.He said results were lasting if done right.IIRC,it is between the muscles where it goes.Biceps have also been popular.

This one seems to have bigger arms then the 'record' holder. It look like it can rip anytime... completely ridiculous. No sleeve shirt forever.
