Daily Bodybuilding Motivation: Synthol Arms

After steroids, growth hormones, insuline... here come the synthol.

Synthol: Also known as SEO (Site Enhancement Oil) and legally sell on the internet as posing oil. Created by German Chris Clark, synthol is composed of 85% medium-chain triglyceride oils (a fatty acid), 7.5% lidocaine (painkiller), and 7.5 5 benzyl alcohol. Synthol is injected intra-muscularly to enhance the muscle size. The muscle "growth" bigger with the oil accumulation and the muscle inflammation. About 30% of what is injected is metabolized by the body. The other 70% remains lodged in the muscle where it breaks down very slowly over three to five years. As shown below, with multiple injections, the muscle size can get as big as you want. But not necessarily aesthetic and far from being healthy.

Since the vast majority of synthol users aren't nurses nor doctors. Injecting synthol represents health hazards. Abscesses (infections at the injection site) can requires surgery to be removed (see Greg Valentino's video below) and can sometime be deadly. IFBB pro bodybuilder Milos Sarcev almost died and was rushed to the hospital nearby when, by accident, he injected synthol into his vein.

The use of injected oil to enhance muscle appearance had previously been used in the late 19th century before being abandoned due to health risks such as sclerosing lipogranuloma. Its use was revived more recently by bodybuilders. Use can cause pulmonary embolisms, nerve damage, infections, stroke, and the formation of oil-filled oleomas, cysts or ulcers in the muscle. Sesame oil is often used, which can cause allergic reactions such as vasculitis.

Greg Valentino

5'4" Greg Valentino got his arms to 28 inches not by using synthol oil, but massive dosages of testosterone (5000 ml a week). The steroids' oil accumulation and the specific site of injection got the same "look" effect as synthol (plus the anabolic effect of roids).
