Synthol demolishes muscle tissue

Synthol is no longer a novelty. Some bodybuilders have been injecting themselves for years with a mixture of 85 percent MCT oil, 7.5 percent lidocaine and 7.5 percent alcohol, targeting muscle groups they feel are not growing fast enough. Surgeons are now starting to notice the long-term effects of the Synthol rage: and they are not mild.

Synthol was concocted in the 1990s by the bodybuilding guru Chris Clarke. It's a 'site enhancement oil', consisting of fatty acids that accumulate in the muscle tissue where you inject the oil. As a result muscles grow at a fantastic rate. Bodybuilders like Greg Valentino developed an unnatural physique by using the substance and became world famous. Peter Hiesinger followed his example  and became ill.

Doctors have already written about the dangers of bodybuilders injecting themselves with oil, but more recently case studies have started to appear that describe the long-term effects on bodybuilders who injected themselves with Clarke's brainchild years ago. Injected fat, the study has shown, causes inflammations that decimate muscles over time.

This happened for example to the 29-year-old bodybuilder that the surgeon Suleiman Ghandourah of University Hospital Marburg. Four years ago he started injecting Synthol into his biceps, but recently these muscles started to play up. They hurt so much that the man had to stop training, and in the end he was constantly in extreme pain. The man's biceps [below left] not only looked strange, they felt strange too. It looked as though they had developed holes in them. When the doctors made an MRI scan of the man's right biceps which was in worse condition - they saw that the muscle was now made up of separate parts. There was oil between the muscle fibres [below left] and the remaining muscle tissue was inflamed.

The doctors decided to amputate the most seriously damaged part of the biceps, a piece measuring 11 x 5 x 5 cm. This helped. Six months later the bodybuilder asked the doctors to perform the same treatment on his other biceps.

The doctors operated on the man's arms. They discovered to their amazement that the man had almost no muscle tissue left in his arms. His arms were filled with pus and fat. The surgeons removed these, but when they did an MRI scan a year later they saw that hardly any muscle tissue had been restored. Three years after the operation the man was still suffering from pain and could no longer train at all.

The New Sit-Ups

Here's something you probably never thought you'd hear out of the mouth of a fitness pro: Stop doing sit-ups. But according to Jay Cardiello, celebrity strength and conditioning coach, not only do sit-ups and crunches isolate very few muscles in your abdomen, they also aggravate an existing problem for most Americans: the anterior tilt.

"Most people sit at a desk all day, staring at their computers or talking on the phone, which creates a hunched-over position or an anterior tilt in your body," Cardiello says. "So you're already crunching forward at work all day – why would you want to do that at the gym?"
To train your abs, do planks instead, says Cardiello. Planks and side planks work your abs, in addition to your posterior side – the underdeveloped, underutilized backside of your body that includes your back, butt, and hamstrings. "A full-body movement like a plank or side plank works more joints and activates more muscles than doing crunches, and they train your posterior and anterior at the same time," Cardiello concludes.

When doing planks and side planks, remember to keep your spine as straight as possible, without hunching your upper back, raising your hips, or letting your hips or knees drop. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, or until you lose form, and repeat if you don't feel any strain or pain. When regular planks become easy, try doing them on an unstable surface, like a Swiss ball or even a bed, to create a sense of imbalance and force your body to recruit even more muscles.

How to Become a Hardcore Squatter

It’s time to enter beast mode. To become a hardcore squatter you need to:

Building muscle isn’t magic. It’s hard work. And the cornerstone of hard work is a dedication to the fundamental mass building exercise, squats. So stop being a pussy, quit your whining, tell you friend who keeps saying “squats will ruin your knees” to bite it, and head to the gym.

You know that little movement you do in the squat rack with the bar on your back – the one where you load the bar and only sink down 3 inches – well I have news for you. That’s not a squat. That’s not even a 1/2 squat. That’s called a quarter squat, my friend, and the only thing this quarter squat will accomplish is helping you reach the grave a lot sooner.
If you want to be a man, go deep. Real men go deep. Deep squats build beastly quads, and raw brute strength.

The squat is NOT a standing leg press. You do NOT push yourself up from a squatting position with your legs. The squat is a hips, hamstrings, glutes, lower back, abs AND quads movement. But have no fear, your quads WILL grow.
Here’s how you squat. Sink deep into the hole, then raise your ass up to start the movement, and pull your hips forward to finish the squat.

The New Risks of Testosterone Therapy

A study of more than 8,700 men diagnosed with low testosterone found that those who received injections or other testosterone-boosting products were 30 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke, or death. Testosterone therapy can be a beneficial treatment, since low-T can cause a rise in plaque in the arteries, an increase in fat in the midsection, and higher blood sugar. "The danger comes when men who are not actually low on testosterone buy these supplements and obtain super high levels without a doctor monitoring them," says Dr. Larry Santora, medical director of the Dick Butkus Center for Cardiovascular Wellness in Orange County, California. "Men using these products need their levels monitored, as well as their blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid levels."

3 steps to ensure maximum muscle growth

1. Lift more weight - Simple, right? Well, I don’t mean for you to just try and lift as much weight as you can every time you head into the gym. I mean that if you’re doing a program, keep track of exactly what you’re lifting every time you’re in the gym, and then try and best it the next time you’re working out doing the same exercise.t.

2. Sleep - This whole post I’ve talked about training, and different steps to take when you’re in the gym, but one of the most important factors in your eventual success actually happens in the bedroom – and no I don’t mean sex. Allowing your body the proper recovery is maybe even as important as the workout. It’s in rest and recovery that our bodies repair the muscle tissue that we’ve broken down during exercise – in effect, “building muscle”. Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night.

3. Drink water – lots of it. - Our muscles are actually made up of 70-80% water, which means that if you’re going to get the most out of your muscles, you’re going to have to keep them hydrated. Not to mention the fact that a healthy supply of water boosts the metabolism, helping your body burn fat.

In 1997, a German study found that protein synthesis occurs at a higher rate in muscle cells when they are well hydrated, compared to dehydrated cells. So keep your muscles hydrated!

The consequences of synthol use

Synthol, which was developed in the early 1990s by the German bodybuilder Christopher T. Clark as a replacement for Esiclene which went out of production at the time. Synthol consists of 85 % medium-chain triglycerides, 7.5 % Lidocaine and 7.5 % Benzyl alcohol. It is a liquid substance, a mixture of oils, used by some bodybuilders to increase the apparent size of some muscles. The effects of Synthol are purely and solely cosmetic and there is no increase in muscular performance.

Synthol works by filling the muscle up with an oil substance. This substance abuse can really get out of proportion and end up hurting your health. It is site-injected, that is, it is injected directly into the muscle whose size is to be increased. Synthol is usually used to 'top up' a muscle that is not quite up to standard with the rest of the body.

Synthol: The New Vice of Bodybuilding

A new substance has found its way into the ranks of bodybuilding. It is not a growth hormone, nor an anabolic steroid, nor any other type of performance-enhancing drug. It is Synthol. The effects of Synthol have yet to be determined, but one thing is for sure - it is giving bodybuilders freakish, almost cartoon-like figures. Bodybuilders are looking less like current Mr. Olympia Champion Jay Cutler and former Mr. Olympia Champion Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more like Popeye and the Incredible Hulk. Where the previous standard for bicep size in bodybuilding may have been 18 to 22 inches in girth (flexed), now even novice bodybuilders are displaying biceps of immense proportions, measuring up to 27 inches and beyond - mostly through the use of Synthol. And it is not limited to arms; Synthol is being used to increase the size of calves, thighs, pecs, and wherever else bodybuilders may feel the need/pressure to enhance.

According to many bodybuilding websites, Synthol (also known as “Pump N’ Pose”) originated in the 1980’s from an Italian steroid called Esiclene, which was used as an inflammatory agent in bodybuilding to add temporary fullness to weak-looking body parts. In the 1990’s, a German researcher named Chris Clark built upon the idea of Esiclene and developed a substance called Synthol that could yield much longer-lasting effects on muscle size. Clark later changed the name of Synthol to “Pump N’ Pose” because the former name was already being registered and trademarked by a pharmaceutical company. Synthol is synthetic oil that is locally injected right into the muscle. It becomes encapsulated in the bundles of muscle fibers which adds extreme volume to the muscle -as much as one inch of girth per injection (if injected into the bicep).

The actual chemical make-up of Synthol is not certain, but it has been reported to consist of 85% medium-chain triglyceride oils (fatty acid), 7.5% lidocaine (pain killer), and 7.5% benzyl alcohol, of which 30% is quickly metabolized by the body and the remaining 70% remains encapsulated in the muscle fibers - breaking down very slowly over three to five years. Although it is touted as being safe, neither the short-term nor the long-term effects of Synthol have been adequately studied. It is believed that the accidental injection of Synthol into an artery and or vein could lead to heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or stroke due to the substance forming blood clots or even, in and of itself, becoming lodged in major organs such as the heart, lungs, and brain, causing localized structural damage to tissue. Additionally, the substance could cause tumor-like abscesses that could quickly become infected, requiring extensive surgery that could lead to disfigurement or scarring, or even amputation. There are other risks associated with self-injection, such as nerve damage and possible transmission of HIV and other life-threatening diseases. However, Synthol is a legal substance (because it is sold as posing oil). It currently sells for anywhere from $100 to $500 per bottle depending upon the brand name and supplier.

There is no professional literature or applied research on the use and effects of Synthol on the human body. However, the potential for wide-spread misuse does exist, due to the number of people who are now enjoying the sport of bodybuilding and or body sculpting. That potential also exists with the masses looking for a new cosmetic agent that will prolong youth and beauty by reducing wrinkles and diminishing aging lines. Further research is needed, especially given the fact that Synthol might prove to be beneficial in cosmetically treating patients who suffer from deep tissue/muscle scarring due to disease and/or traumatic injury.

4 Easy Tips To Pack On Muscle

What is the best method to pack on muscle mass? Begin by working out 2-4 days per week. Try to keep repetition range to about 4-12, and rest time between sets should be approximately 2-3 minutes. The best way to build lean muscle mass while burning fat is to perform cardio, either before or after a workout. It is best to do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, although it may be inconvenient.

The steps outlined below are easy, and they will help you pack on quality muscle fast.

1. Eat more often. As a bodybuilder, you require more grub than the average Joe. So think five, six or even seven small meals per day. It might sound like lots of calories, but that is precisely what you could do with at the moment. Don't go crazy eating everything and anything in sight. You'll just gain a bunch of soft, useless fat instead of muscle if you eat too much junk food.

A good rule of thumb is if man made it, then don't eat it. If that isn't enough information for you, then check with a qualified nutritionist, or do free research online. Make sure any professional you pay is properly credentialed. If you do the research yourself, don't believe what you find if that site is clearly more interested in your cash than in your physical condition.

Here are some tips that you should find useful:
• Take multivitamins daily
• Never go hungry – eat every 2½ to 3 hours
• Make an effort to eat two meals prior to working out – training on an empty stomach is not a good idea as it can cause side effects such as dizziness and does not lead to as much fat loss as eating breakfast and a mid-morning meal before working out does.
• Always eat breakfast – or else you will bring your metabolism down which will lead to you storing more body fat.
• Become familiar with Glycemic Index of foods.
• Add 3-5 grams of cinnamon to meals as it helps process insulin better, and add lemon juice or vinegar to foods to reduce their Glycemic Index.
• Eat fewer carbohydrates overall and more protein and fat.
• Eat as much raw fruit and vegetables as possible. Be careful not to overcook vegetables, as you will kill vital enzymes that are needed for digestion and lower their nutritional value by destroying vitamins and minerals.
• Eat fresh fruits, but no more than 1-3 portions a day, as excessive fructose turns to body fat if not burned off. Avoid tropical fruits, as they are high on the Glycemic Index.
• Include sources of protein with all meals as it helps with digestion and increases metabolic rate to keep body fat levels low. Rotate protein sources, as you will become allergic if you use the same sources all the time.
• Take fish oils with every meal. This can result in 3-6 pounds of weight loss in a month, as they increase the utilization of fat stores and decrease fat storage.

2. Supplement with the big three: Glutamine, Creatine and BCAA. Glutamine is known as the immunity amino. Creatine is linked with added power and the capacity to create more adenisone triphosphate (ATP) – the chemical energy resource for training and growth. Branched chain amino acids act as a useful energy source when glycogen stores are low.

Another very important supplement is water: at least one gallon or 0.6 to 0.7 ounces per pound of bodyweight per day while training. To make sure you drink enough water, every day fill a one-gallon milk jug and put it in the fridge. Pour yourself some whenever you want water, and at the end of the day, if the milk jug is empty you'll know you have hydrated yourself throughout the day.

3. Work out hard. Intensity is the element that creates muscle. Use a weight that you can really lift to pump out some good, clean reps with strict form. Get your spotter to assist you with some additional reps. Have your spotter spot you until he/she gets tired, if you can get used to the "Pain of the Growth Zone." The intensity of this type of training is tremendous!

Want to get huge? You will have to use high intensity techniques built into your weight lifting routine. In order to generate quality muscle growth you need to damage the muscle to a certain extent for it to respond, repair and grow. You definitely won't build large muscles by using light weights and high repetitions. Lift hard and heavy. Only very heavy weights damage the muscle adequately for growth.

4. Rest. A muscle will not need to be worked more than once a week if done well and intensely. You may actually get fewer results if you train a muscle group directly more than once a week. Muscles need rest and recovery time in order to grow and get stronger. They will not get the required rest if you are training them all the time.

When a muscle cell is stressed intensely it causes damage to its internal elements, protein filaments shatter and glycogen storage chains break down rapidly. When the stress stops the cell has the time to recuperate, replace and fix the cell back to the pre-stressed state. After this recovery the cell will overcompensate for its stress by adding more elements to its structures, more protein filaments, glycogen stores and increased enzymes for energy production.

In addition to packing on muscle, strength training strengthens and conditions the musculoskeletal system, improving muscle tone and endurance. These improvements have a great influence on our physical performance, metabolic efficiency, physical appearance and risk of injury. Research shows that unless we strength train often, we will lose more than one half-pound of muscle every year of our lives after age 25.

Meat For Your Muscles

                 Older men need to eat more meat to slow muscle loss.

Older men may not be eating enough beef. In a study of 35 men, all around 60 years old, it was found that bigger servings of beef – six ounces rather than the USDA's recommended three – helped most to slow muscle loss caused by lower testosterone, inactivity, and a diet too low in protein. "Men and women in their fifth decade of life begin to lose muscle mass," says lead author Stuart Phillips. "But you can almost reverse it by doing enough resistance training and eating enough protein." To test just how much protein is needed for aging men, researchers at the Exercise Metabolism Research Group at Canada's McMaster University gave five groups a weightlifting regimen and served them varying portions of lean ground beef. By measuring amino acids in the blood (needed to repair or form new muscle), they found that the biggest serving of beef was best for muscle synthesis.

Bodybuilding And Health

Fans bodybuilding endeavor to develop and promote the sport. A sport is it?

The man - a man. No more, no less. Each person has a different muscle size and quality required percentage of fat and water ... All this is not acceptable for a bodybuilder, speaking at the event.

Bodybuilder in competition - this is not a normal person, and sometimes - not quite human. The volume ratio of muscle violated in favor of a certain ephemeral "harmonious addition of" where the volume of hands almost like the volume down. Relief, which have massive bodybuilders, they just contraindicated. To achieve clean-cut muscle, bodybuilder reduces body fat from 15 to 5.6%! But the fat - it's not the ballast to the body. It is also the substance, which are important for the body's metabolic reactions. And it must be the greater, the greater the mass of people. With a lack of body fat "sound the alarm", metabolism is disturbed and the main task is the restoration of the body fat stores. That is, each received the food has calories work that it did not go into fat.

Another vital ingredient - water. She is also required by the body as a medium for vital processes. And what happened? Water is also being kicked to the full. To the competition out sick people who are experiencing exhaustion and dehydration, but also and demineralization of the body (too salty contraindicated - Salt retains water). On the podium - powerful athletes, backstage - sick people: someone guzzles water, someone to reduces muscle cramps from lack of minerals, some bad (he gets salted water and ammonia).

Other athletes, of course, also "driven weight" before the competition, but they have no purpose to gain weight in the offseason. Also, when have to drive too much (10% of body weight), - sometimes observed such reduction results that they have to move up a category or even abandon performances. And bodybuilders in the order of things to throw up to 30% (!) By weight. And immediately after the event - the same score. It's - a devastating blow to the body. Plus - the use of pharmaceuticals. They, of course, used in all kinds of sports, when it comes to a high level, but it is the result of their use of bodybuilding is so high that even fans who do not participate in competitions, eat everything that we can, forget about the side effects. And they are not harmless. Often the muscles grow to the detriment of the internal organs. If interested - look, that passed through the modern champions.
"Iron Arnie" has built his career on the tremendous hard work and first-generation steroids, so his health is not affected by the consequences of their use.

Ingress needle in the blood vessel (especially in the vein), much more dangerous in terms of development of fat embolism vessels of heart, lung, brain, which very often leads to death. Far more often post injection infection and the development of abscesses (limited purulent inflammation) and phlegmon (Distinguished purulent inflammation) requiring surgical treatment.
Above all components of the drug directly stimulate the inflammatory response in muscle, and large amounts of fatty acids in the long term repository between muscle beams, causing ischemia, and atrophy of muscle tissue sclerosis. Think of at least 250 chances to go into eternity!

Ethics and esthetic's
When it comes to that the IFBB has banned the use of sintol It make me lought.
IFBB with its prohibitions is mockery of themselves. Production list of banned drugs, as they would show that you need to take athletes to achieve better results in this federation. They require monsters and monsters are not forced to wait a long time. But if the use of steroids has nothing to do with a natural sport, the synthol has nothing to do with sports in general - is where something from another world ... Mutants World or something like this. And this is not about whether the guy with the steroid arm of 50 cm will lose synthol bastards to shoulder 56 cm and 27 cm forearm and then where would be natural guys without synthol.
No। Just feel sick of all this.

Cabinet of Curiosities
Gregg Valentino - best known synthol user in the world, and part-owner of "the biggest hands in bodybuilding।" For me, so this shit cylinders instead of hands. Incidentally, what happened to his hand, you already can see ... off easily.

Klaus Doring - this is the same, the language is not rotated say strongman, one of the first users synthol, more like a pig-mutant। "Laurels of Valentino" did not let him rest, that's trying to ...

Klaus Kaak - crazy old man।

How can I comment - I do not even know. Simply say where synthol does not existed, because such places do not. No more idiotic not seen.
Abscess instead of biceps are visible even under a coat of paint. A teeth clench probably trained separately.



And as you these "shit capacity". Now, you just look around: those people around just want to vomit - definitely, it was worth it. For that alone is worth come to light.


Another synthol monster - Eli Hanna in the company of Russian mutants (M. Beko - at the top and A. Skachko - below) and mutants. Cool guys - Take an example.



I do not know what he wants to show there - maybe synthol virile member.
The peak on the left biceps in particular possible, especially if success words, synthol ball in the right place at the right time, as well saw and be able to peak at triceps or from elsewhere.

Gary Bles - very typical facial expression shows intellectual capabilities and deep philosophical thought.


"Powerlifter" with a capital letter. No comments ...

Valery Loktionov - 49 years. And most Nice, at different fora, he tries to prove that synthol in him does not existe. Of course not - there is in the best case - "Oil."

Already once mentioned synthol professionals. So here they are. Flex Wheeler's own persona. Titles will not enumerate.

Ernie Taylor - 11 th place at Mr. Olympia 2003.

Mustafa Mohammad - Mr synthol quattro triceps. Idris Ward-El - Champion USA 2002, heavyweight weight and absolute credits (you only see how the Charter - it seems high time to engage feet).


Look-ka at these guys - yes "they didn't know anything about synthol" and deeply intelligent glance confirmation. Well, those born healthy, which is now too ...
