Reasoning Theorems of Success

This compound is a perfect example of the extremes that some bodybuilders will go to be the “biggest”. Not content to have 20 or 22-inch arms, bodybuilders found a way to push the limits up to the 27-inch barrier. Yes you read correctly there are freaks walking around now sporting thigh-sized arms from their shoulders!

Synthol has its origins in the 1980’s when a drug called Esiclene was all the rage. For those who missed the 1980’s, Esiclene, was not used to build muscle mass like traditional steroids but instead was used as a quick fix to bring up weak bodyparts before a contest. The drug acted primarily by causing a localized swelling. Bodybuilders found it very useful in bringing up such small muscles as the calves, rear shoulders, and arms. The only drawbacks were that Esiclene was very painful to use and very short-lived.

In the mid 1990’s a researcher took the next logical step and invented an oil-based compound that could be injected directly into the muscle.
The initial name he chose was Synthol, but he later learned that this was already registered and trademarked by a pharmaceutical company. So he renamed his product Pump N’ Pose, but as with steroid trade names the first name stuck. It has now reached the point that Synthol is as well known as such bodybuilding compounds as creatine, Dianabol, and whey protein.

Chemically the drug is composed of 85% medium-chain triglyceride oils (a fatty acid), 7.5% lidocaine (painkiller), and benzyl alcohol. The oil is injected straight into the muscle where it becomes trapped between the muscle fibers. With each injection, a larger volume of oil builds up, and the muscle swells up just like a balloon. It is estimated that about 30% of what is injected is broken down by the body while the remaining 70% breaks down slowly over three to five years. Users report incredible muscle pumps during training, but this could be a result of the extra pressure generated by the trapped oil.

Is it safe?

Although some bodybuilders consider Pump & Pose relatively safe to use, there are numerous health issues to consider. Injecting any amount of fatty-acid material intramuscularly can be dangerous. This is compounded by the fact that most bodybuilders have any medical training. It’s very easy to hit a major nerve and if you do hit one by accident you can easily cause permanent paralysis of muscle fibers in that area.

The repeated injections cause other problems. As bodybuilders have discovered from long-term steroid use, sticking a needle into the same are results in the build up of painful scar tissue that may require surgery to remove. And it gets worse. Should you inject into a vein or artery by mistake the fatty acids could be carried to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. They may also reach the heart and induce a heart attack. They might even make it to the brain and lead to stroke. As you might guess all three cases are potentially fatal. Oh and did we mention that if you strike a larger artery such as the femoral artery you could bleed to death in minutes!

The safe and legal way to build muscle mass!

Hopefully we’ve convinced you about the many perils to using Synthol. That short-term fix may put you in the big training gym in the sky. We don’t think a few extra inches are worth risking your life over; certainly not when there are safer ways to do it. Unless you’ve been training for decades, odds are you’ve haven’t given natural training a chance to maximize your genetic potential just yet. You don’t build 20-inch arms in three or four months. It takes years. There is also a good possibility that you haven’t explored the many facets of healthy eating yet. The late Vince Gironda said bodybuilding was about 90 percent nutrition. While Vince’s number may be high, he was definitely on to something there.

Finally have you tried any of the legal steroid analogs yet? These powerful compounds are safe, legal, and highly effective.

Don’t fall for the quick fix. Play it safe!

We’ve all heard of those high-end luxury brand watches like: Cartier, Piaget, Rolex, Technomarine but because they cost many hundreds, even thousands of dollars they are simply out of reach of most people’s budgets. It’s like, should I get a second car or buy a Rolex and for most people it’s clearly the second car. Let’s face it, luxury watches are designed for the rich to provide them with a “status symbol” they yearn for that will help feed their, in most cases, large egos.

On the other hand, we all have human vanity and if you’re the type that would like yours massaged by such a symbol of affluence, there’s a little thing called Replica Watches that you might want to take a closer look at.

Replica watches provide the not so affluent with the opportunity to sport incredible imitations of various luxury watches like: Cartier, Piaget, Rolex, and Technomarine for a fraction of the price. On the other hand, the downside of replica watches is that in one way it could be considered a form of stealing. Like buying bootleg copies of CDs or DVD’s or illegally downloading music from the internet. You’ll have to make that call but replica watches do “borrow” the copyrighted designs of the luxury watches.

Plus, the whole purpose of luxury brands is to not cater to just anyone. They are manufactured and designed with the utmost quality with full knowledge that as a result, their cost will be prohibitive for most people.

However, if you’re ok with the whole copyright thing and your heart is set on buying a replica watch; then, as the old saying goes, “buyers beware”. Just because it’s relatively dirt cheap doesn’t mean its bargain. You still need to exercise caution and wisdom before you buy.

The internet has become the home of thousands upon thousands of companies selling replica watches which makes it rather impossible to inspect anything you purchase beforehand. Not that you must inspect a replica watch before you buy but it certainly doesn’t hurt because even in a replica craftsmanship matters. Simple things like, does it have changeable batteries or is it simply a toy knockoff of the original is difficult to discern in a picture.

Omega, Cartier and Rolex are all popular replica watches today. While inspecting a prospective replica you should verify that brand names are actually spelled correctly. An example of this often occurs in knockoff bags, purses or shoes: “Prada” becomes “Prada” or “Chanel” becomes “Channel”.

Another thing to remember before purchasing a replica watch is this: Are you or will you be comfortable enough, in your own skin, to wear such a watch when friends, family or colleagues realize that it is replica? I’m not here to judge because frankly, I partially agree with both sides of the argument but I bring it up only, so that you are aware of the fact that purchasing a replica watch “may not” turn out to be the status symbol you hoped it would be. On the other hand, it may be just the ticket you’ve been looking for and if so - go for it!
