Dave, I know you’ve been asked this many times before, but what exactly is Synthol and how does it work? Are there any long-term sides we may not be aware of? Synthol is really a fancy term for injectable anabolic steroids (minus the actual drugs). In other words, Synthol is the oil portion of the injectable steroid. Bodybuilders use it to help volumize (fill up) the muscle cells. This volumization serves two purposes: 1) It makes the muscle appear fuller and rounder from a cosmetic standpoint; 2) It helps stretch out the muscle fascia (the sheath that surrounds the muscle) so that ultimately, the muscle will be able to expand at a faster rate. (Note: One theory of muscle growth hypothesizes that it is the fascia of the muscle that limits how fast that muscle will grow. In other words, the faster one can stretch the fascial sheath that surrounds each muscle— something Synthol does very well— the greater the ease with which the muscle cells can expand and thus, grow).
As far as the long-term safety of Synthol is concerned, you must realize that Synthol is primarily comprised of medium chain triglycerides (MCT). From a biochemistry standpoint, MCTs are fats that burn at a faster rate than carbohydrates. These MCTs travel from the bloodstream, through the muscle-cell membrane, into the cytoplasm, and ultimately, into the muscle-cell mitochondria (where they are then oxidized for energy) without requiring a single transporter (unlike other long-chain fats). Therefore, when Synthol is injected into a muscle group, it will ultimately be metabolized as quickly and efficiently as if it were orally consumed.
Should women who use Nolvadex be concerned with the adverse effects it may have on them if they take GH (i.e., suppression of IGF-1 that results from taking Nolvadex)? In other words, if a woman is currently taking GH, can she also take Nolvadex without hampering muscle growth?
Women should only take a drug like Nolvadex the last six to eight weeks before a bodybuilding contest. Nolvadex blocks estrogen receptors in the body and thus results in decreased water retention, a reduction in lower body fat and the cessation of the menstrual cycle (no woman wants to get her period the day of a contest). Taken in this pre-contest time frame, who really cares if the Nolvadex is inhibiting the liver from liberating IGF-1 in response to GH injections? At this point in the diet, we are only really interested in the fat-burning effects of the GH (which will still be functioning at 100 percent efficiency). Besides, it is completely unrealistic to think that in such a calorie-deprived environment muscle growth would actually be possible. What’s up with that new Australian company, SYD Group? What new products do they produce and are they good quality?SYD Group (short for Sydney, Australia, where the products are supposedly produced) is a relatively new company to hit the marketplace. SYD Group products are, in actuality, produced in Mexico and then smuggled across the border into the United States. I suppose production of such products in Mexico saves a significant amount of money and lessens the restrictions placed on such products, since Australia has very tight domestic restrictions on anabolic steroids. All SYD Group products feature a very cartoonish-looking kangaroo on the front face of the box. Another interesting bit of gossip with regard to this new company is that SYD Group was actually started by the previous owner of Denkall and Quality Vet (QV). This is actually “music to the ears,” since QV and Denkall are high-quality products that on laboratory analysis always test out at 99 percent of their claimed contents. The following is a list of SYD Group’s new product line: (1) Boldenone-200 (boldenone undecyclenate): Known as Equipoise in the United States, this product is very concentrated at 200mg/ml (10ml bottle).(2) Tesosterona-100 (testosterone aqueous): Also known as testosterone suspension (100mg/ml, 10ml), this product seems to have its pH balanced rather well, since word on the street is that it does not cause as much pain (at the injection site) as other testosterone suspension formulations.(3) Nandrolona-300 (nandrolone cypionate): This product is a very concentrated, fast-acting nandrolone preparation (300mg/ml, 10ml). It is faster acting than Deca Durabolin (nandrolone decanoate), yet slower than Durabolin (nandrolone phenylpropionate).(4) Testosterona-200 (tesosterone cypionate): Generically known as testosterone cypionate (200mg/ml, 10ml), this product is usually the mainstay in most mass-building cycles.(5) Estanozolol-50 (stanozolol): Known throughout Europe and the United States as Winstrol depot, this product is very cost effective at 50mg/ml, 20ml bottles. (6) Methenolona-100 (methenolone enanthate): More readily known by its brand name, Primobolin depot (100mg/ml, 10ml), this is just about the only methenolone product on the market that I would actually trust, since the market seems to be flooded with counterfeit Primobolin amps. I just started taking Saizen GH and I really enjoy subcutaneous injections (into the fat) better than the intra-muscular injections. Is there any reason I can't do my other oil injections in there? I'm having problems with scar tissue buildup in my muscles and I find the pain is non-existent with my subcutaneous injections. First off, subcutaneous injections are actually placed under the skin and fat (and above the muscle). Additionally, the only anabolic substances that are ever injected subcutaneously are water-based protein hormones such as GH, IGF-1, insulin, or possibly human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). All other steroidal compounds, whether oil-based (eg. Testosterone cypionate, trenbolone acetate, or primobolin depot) or water-based (eg. Winstrol depot or testosterone suspension), are always injected intramuscularly (deep into the muscle tissue). If you think you have scar tissue buildup or pain in your muscles from intramuscular injections, you have no concept of how much pain and discomfort you will be in if you ever attempted to inject your anabolic steroids subcutaneously. Word of advice: Tough it out with the usual intramuscular injections! I want to do a mild eight-week cutting cycle. I don’t know where to start. I had surgery for a mild case of gynecomastia five months ago and I’m worried about it returning. I need help constructing a cycle. I have 11 amps of Primobolan depot and I’m looking to stack some Sustanon with it. I can also get Clomid, Nolvadex or Arimidex (if necessary). I respect your knowledge and opinion and would greatly appreciate your assistance. If the surgeon who performed your gynecomastia surgery was proficient at his job and he understood that bodybuilders require that all their glandular tissue be removed (since, in the presence of certain anabolic steroids, further enlargement of any remaining glandular tissue is always a possibility), you should not really need to be concerned about the gynecomastia coming back. My personal friend and plastic surgeon, Dr. Mordcai Blau, has performed over 500 gynecomastia surgeries (and most of them have been on competitive bodybuilders) and his understanding of the procedure is unparalleled. Check out his website at www.cosmetic-md.com.The best, most effective “cutting” cycle, in my opinion, would have to be 50mg of Winstrol depot taken every other day (EOD) combined with 200mg (2 amps) of Primobolin depot per week. This potent anabolic combination will provide the user with a hard, dense-looking physique with minimal (to no) side effects. Likewise, because Winstrol and Primobolin do not suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis, you will not have to worry about testicular atrophy, gynecomastia (you will not require an anti-estrogen), or muscle-loss when you come off. All the gains will be of a permanent nature.
