Bodybuilders are turning themselves into living versions of the cartoon character
Bodybuilders more impressive physiques are turning themselves into living versions of the cartoon character Popeye by injecting a form of synthetic oil into their muscles, writes Daniel Foggo.
Synthol - the substance, produced by various companies but known colloquially as synthol, binds with the muscle fibres creating a freakish, bloated appearance. Without any weight training, recipients of the injections can end up with arms larger than their legs.
Synthol is said to be attracting the interest of British gym-goers looking for instant “bulk” and unconcerned about any associated health risks.
Synthol, which is a mixture of triglyceride oils and benzyl alcohol, was originally intended as a form of “posing oil” for bodybuilders. When injected into a muscle, however, the body is slow to break it down, so giving an inflated appearance.
McVeigh, who called its use “daft”, said: “It doesn’t actually develop the muscles as such; it just sort of sits in the tissues and makes them larger.
“One of the main problems people have with this is deformity as gravity plays its part, giving you droops within your muscles. There are some terrible cases of inflamed tissue from it.
“Also, because it gives a fast swelling, you will get cramp from a squashing of the nerve. Then you can get crushing of the actual blood vessels and blood flow cut-off.” Some authorities in the US have said bodybuilders also risk giving themselves a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal, by injecting synthol directly into a major blood vessel.

It's just that it can be a disease that, the swelling on his hands, well, I think young man with such problems is still engaged. Or take this guy, I saw him in FLEX magazine 5-6 years ago, they wrote that he had biggest biceps in the world.
But all this guys taked Synthol.
Synthol (Synthol). A few years ago, you hardly could find any detail information about Synthol. It almost was not. Now only lazy did not hear about this - so many articles ... Although they are essentially clones of a small transferable little articles which appeared in "Muscle & Fitness" for 2001 and must pay tribute, contributed to the spread of this crap at us. However, particularly active this topic was talked at various sites and forums just in the last year. And I must say pleased that consumers and straights and steroids in the majority agree that the use of Synthol - prerogative of the terminally ill at the head of people do not have to sport nothing to do.
And now in order.
History
So it decided that the conversation about creating Synthol begin by mentioning esiklen. Let me remind you that this drug was highly popular back in the 80's, has a very low anabolic activity, but intramuscular injections has the property to cause a strong inflammatory reaction, which leads to swelling and thus short-term (around 24 hours) increase in muscle. These properties and led to widespread use esiklen competing bodybuilders. And at the same time prompted a German chemist, amateur Chris Clark to the idea that a good idea to create a similar long-acting drug. Obtained in the early 90's, composition of Synthol (Synthol) - like the name of one of the most powerful technologies of nuclear fusion. However, this name was already patented, so it invented a new - "Pump'N'Pose" (Kacha and poses). Under this brand name drug is now sold worldwide. One of the first users of Synthol was a German strongman Klaus Doring, who calls himself "the owner of the biggest hands in the world" the size of 27 inches (this insaign you still see). At the end of the paper looked into the cabinet of curiosities you will find that now there is nothing unusual. A couple of inches with Synthol - a common occurrence. And kolyat it now not only in the biceps and triceps, but also in igronozhnye, quadriceps, anterior deltoids and pectoral muscles.

DJ Wallis - a talent of figure skating girlfriend. It is fitness, but not only them - she wrote a thesis in addition ... on fitness. And yet she was very charming, so talk to them the same pleasure as well as enjoy its dramatic forms.
Dr. Wallace has worked in the area where the latest achievements of science and technology. Her research interests are in the field of neurobiology, but in practice it is conducting experiments with the use of hyperbaric oxygen chambers, neuromuscular electro simulator, infrared saunas and other ultramodern scientific miracles. Amazing, right?
- I took a fitness still at university - Dee Jay remembers. - Train for yourself, no competitions and no thought. And then met with the academic luminary Dr. Shekom. He advised me to enroll in graduate school Biology Faculty, who led. They say, it's time to biology, where people want to know everything about themselves. I told him about my passion for fitness, about how much this means to know your body's physical reactions to stress. About me I said that, they say, practice for themselves, whereas in the competitions involved only women, gifted by nature. Dr. BEC laughed and said that all this is complete nonsense. Success in sports, he said, depends on how people feel their muscles working. And if he feels the muscle, then, is able to manage. It follows that the success - it is rather a function of the psyche. Well, the psyche can learn anything! Final call out and do the unusual. "Now I was just writing a scientific paper on this theme - develop special methods of" training "mentality - said Dr. BEC. - Come on, you become my guinea pigs. And in a year, I guarantee you will receive in a fitness professional card!"
- In those days I was thinking to quit training, - said Jay Dee. - It seemed to me that in sports, I reached a threshold, and above me is not to jump. Had nothing to lose, and I agreed.
So, DJ Wallace and Dr. BEC began to work together, making at the Faculty Study Group.
- The first six months I have a physical form. Again, under the supervision of equipment, develop the already known exercises with weights, - recalls Dee Jay - But the following six months, I trained "psychologically." From month to month with the help of special methods of Dr. BEC set up my mentality to win. When I first came on the scene, my composure, and would envy the deceased.
Less than the promise of the year, as Dee Jay was the owner of a professional card. Moreover, she did speak at all tournaments IFBB row and everywhere hit the top ten!
Today, Dee Jay, along with Dr. Shekom develop new ways in the biology of muscle activity, in particular, are trying to make the muscle stronger decrease. Everyone knows that at the time of maximum reduction in muscle works less than one third of the total number of muscle fibers. So nature insured against the risk of muscle ligament rupture in the time limit muscular tension. How to tell the calculations, the increase in the number of muscle fibers at the 4 percent level is already sporting records.
In their experiments, Dee Jay and the doctor used a powerful electrostimulator BEC. However, there are no instructions for. Electrodes DJ put on a muscle, which receives the load in the performance of specific exercises. She lifts weights, and at the time of peak muscle tension electrostimulator sends an electric discharge. As a result of muscle strain is stronger physiological limit! With this admission in the thicker muscle tissue begins branching dendrites. Simply put, the nerve branches grow longer, "capturing" all the new muscle fibers. As a result of a muscle is stronger and increases muscular coordination.
When the turn of aerobics, DJ wear a special mask and the face on the "track".
- Here I use the device for the rapid analysis of their metabolism - Dee Jay explains. - The device measures the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide on the exhale. The ratio of gas automatically enters into the computer, which tells how many calories you burn. All of this allows me to adjust to the unique intensity of training for the primary purpose of aerobic training - the burning of fat. As a result, I never practice random. "Burn" fat only!
