Chances are you would’ve come across the term Synthol in social media sites under bodybuilding posts or perhaps you’re a fan of wrestling championships or body building championships or an aspirant of the same you would’ve heard the term Synthol being used along the lines of “substances “ some of these bodybuilders might have taken (or not).
One of the recent popular performance enhancing drug or rather “oil” in the body building communities happens to be this rather controversial substance called Synthol.
It is a site enhancement oil comprising of 85% triglycerides (oils), 7.5% lidocaine and 7.5% alcohol
Synthol is used to instantly bulk the muscles, as much as in a few hours even. Quite obviously it is not a very looked upon way of bulking one’s muscles and not to mention how unprofessional it is, belittling those who actually put their blood, sweat and tears into arriving at their dream body.
Synthol a site enhancing substance is commonly injected into muscles such as calves, deltoids, triceps and biceps .
It causes disproportionate growth of muscles, giving a pretty grotesque disfigurement , not exactly esthetic or pleasing to one’s eyes.
Besides being unethical, unaesthetic and unprofessional to the body building community, it also comes with a ton of side effects if used excessively.
The muscle injected typically appears soft , swollen and puffy.
One of the main requisites for a bodybuilder is the presence of symmetrical, properly developed muscles.
To state an example, one’s chest muscles might be well formed but shoulder muscles may not be upto the rest of the upper body muscles or id in case of individuals in whom one side of the muscle seems bulkier than the other side then that’s when Synthol comes to play to even out muscles on either side this is where Synthol comes into play causing puffing up of the specific muscle it is injected in
