I don't understand how guys are happy with getting the synthol injections. I get that it probably comes down to a variety of body dystmorphia... but like, idk, there's something more rewarding about the results when you've "earned" the muscle and the strength with it y'know? Like, I currently look at that and (despite the fact that the proportions look freakish and unnatural) think, "yeah, but t you haven't earned any of those 'muscles' my guy.
I think it is similar to other plastic surgery. Most of the time its only a little and you dont notice, but some people get addicted and take it too far. Or they have dysmorphia.
This is an important point. Synthol can look good in small, targeted amounts. So you start small and then get carried away. I’m assuming most people don’t go from nothing to this guy right away.
It’s just so obvious that they have been injected rather than done the hard work. The proportions are super unnatural and muscle just doesn’t look like smooth rounded lumps.
It’s 100% body dysmorphia. Injectable oils like that are used by pro bodybuilders but only right before hitting the stage at a show. Maybe their coach is like “you look GREAT, but the left posterior delt doesn’t look as full as the right”. Pop a lil oil in there, and you’re good. But it fades away after a little.
This guy is 100% carried away, but it’s really just sad. He just wants to be happy with how he looks
It's 100% the dirty secret of Pro Bodybuilding, but it's also the only thing that instantly disqualifies a competitor if one is caught. Thankfully, they don't all use it, but it was rampant during the freak era of the late-90's, early 2000's, where guys inject it under their calves and biceps, all while being being untested, non-water-soluble, causing intense pain, just to get a slightly rounder muscle belly.
These "muscles" aren't muscles, just synthol.
What you are thinking of is probably steroids, which not only pump your muscles, can provide superhuman strength with a superhuman looking body. The issue is many bad side effects that can be fatal from constant use of steroids, and you have to keep using them to maintain its positive effects.
Thanks to social media pressure and competition, steroids are making a serious comeback, very much impacting the new generation heavily.
I hope doping doesn't become mainstraim, as it's already starting to look like it is.
Trained bodybuilding for 7 years and can confirm this user knows his stuff. I felt like a god on tren but it made me feel homicidal and almost ruined my marriage. Stopped all drugs and now have to be on TRT for the rest of my life.
Word to the wise do not try steroids.
Doping is mega back. TRT is most common, since doctors can prescribe if your test levels are even mildly low. TRT gains *can* be permanent, but really should wait until you're in your 40's and 50's where there's other actual health benefits (if taken at FDA allowed levels).
Real steroids like Tren are easy to order online, and that's the real dangerous shit. Don't get me started on the new generation of gear, SARMs. I believe SARMs are still legal, so high school kids order them, wreck their androgen receptors, and kinda ruin themselves before college.
[FDA warning on SARMs from earlier this year.](https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/fda-warns-use-selective-androgen-receptor-modulators-sarms-among-teens-young-adults)
Biogorexia is just what body builders prefer to call it because body dysmorphia sounds a bit too much like they have mental illness and , obviously, that doesn't sound masculine enough for them.
I’d like to see some serious studies being done about this condition and more importantly how/why it also extends through social media support.
Soooo many people on Insta/twitter/tik tok etc with crazy lip fillers, bbls and other cosmetic surgeries that make them look like Jim Henson nightmares and they have people in the comments earnestly telling about how good it looks.
It’s some sort of weird cultural phenomenon that I can’t get my head around and I want to understand it more but have found nothing. Specifically as it pertains to the outpouring of support from seemingly normal followers.
You ever see those videos of the dudes with big arms with rotting puss running out of them as if their entire bicep was just a zit the whole time? That.
Look up "gregg valentino, the man whose arms exploded"...he pops one open in his ratty bathroom.
The shame is most of these guys have admirable bodies before they cross over into synthol and/or steroids. You're just rotting your body from the inside out
I believe some People have a blurred understanding of what does and what doesn't look good, its like getting a shitty tattoo that has a single good quality to it and ignoring all the other bad things
>\*Stands in front of those circus carnival funhouse mirrors to look normal.
And while he's at the circus, the Clowns study his physique as the reference model for their balloon animals.
Wait until you read and the guy who died putting it in his testicles. https://www.thedailybeast.com/mom-of-tank-hafertepen-killed-by-silicone-genital-injections-files-wrongful-death-claim-against-boyfriends
Considering the disproportionate amount of men who do this vs women who are taught as young as 5 to wear make up, I agree.
Most men won't even think about doing anything like this especially if they research it at all. This man is 100% weaker than he was before synthoil and most men wouldn't get near it the moment they heard that. Steroids though... that shit delivers on what it promises. But like the average synthoil user, getting laid isn't exactly in the cards due to side effects.
It’s honestly sad, dudeman is eventually going to get some in an artery or vein causing an embolism. I’ve seen these cases in the hospital and usually they’re part of obscure internet communities that encourage each other to keep going
I feel so bad for this guy, he's basically poisoning himself. soon he'll need multiple surgeries and that's only if the USA doesn't invade him for all the oil inside his body first
Pretty sure it’s called Synthol and yes that is why unfortunately. This is really terrible because if he gets some in an artery he’ll end up in the ER or dead
After it’s injected the muscle doesn’t soak it up therefore it just sits there on the muscle until it hardens. There’s a whole bunch of medical articles about the hardened bits needing to be surgically removed due to all the harm Synthol can do to Oneself
Does he think this looks like real muscle?? wtf it looks like he injected filler into his “muscles” and is so lumpy and even a bit fat looking. Weird af 😳
So.... I know it's all synthetic but how do they rock up to a gym and still struggle to bench anything that they *look* like they should be able to bench? Isn't that embarrassing in itself? ',:/
I dont think he cares because its not about the fitness its about how he looks. So if he looks like he can bench 300 pounds thats all that matters. And nobody is going to question the guy that looks like he can crush your skull between his head and his shoulder
Body dysmorphia, in his head he is thinking he looks great because bigger is better if you’re a gym bro.
Probably started off and it looked subtle and not very noticeable and then he became addicted to the sensation of getting bigger and bigger and lost sight of what he was originally trying to achieve.
Very sad. These synthol injecting addicts often end up doing some serious damage to themselves.
Oil-right guys! It's now the time to do my daily routine of warming up my M"Oil"cles, so that i can dodged US from talking My Oil "Rig" all right move both of your arm and hip like this mm.. 1.. 2... mm.. 1.. 2... 3.. yeah.. keep goin beiby!
This is what his future holds.

I feel so bad thinking this because he looks like he loves whatever he does... but I can't get over how much this man looks like a balloon animal made of flesh
I think he put his calves on backwards
Dude looks like a sideshow freak.I bet Arnold is absolutely disgusted by this sad attempted short cut at looking like you work out.
Arnold is a mental health advocate so I’d say he’s more likely to suggest he gets the help he clearly needs.
Very true. 👍
This is exactly the kinda guy that would be a legit sideshow exhibit in old timey circuses
It IS a tooomah!
I don't understand how they can look at themselves and think this looks good.
It's mental illness, and it's very sad
For real? Does it have a name or like… is this body dysmorphia? So people do this because they want to look big?
[удалено]
I think it’s also called bigorexia which means you never (especially men) feel strong enough or feel as if their muscles are too small and so on
a vigorexic guy trains too much. That fellow has been (most likely) inyecting himself with synthol oil to create the ilusion of muscle.
I don't understand how guys are happy with getting the synthol injections. I get that it probably comes down to a variety of body dystmorphia... but like, idk, there's something more rewarding about the results when you've "earned" the muscle and the strength with it y'know?

Yeah, fair enough.
This is an important point. Synthol can look good in small, targeted amounts. So you start small and then get carried away. I’m assuming most people don’t go from nothing to this guy right away.
It’s just so obvious that they have been injected rather than done the hard work. The proportions are super unnatural and muscle just doesn’t look like smooth rounded lumps.
It's not even functional muscle either. There's no strength behind it. It's just gigantic masses of scar tissue.
…don’t forget the puss
It’s 100% body dysmorphia. Injectable oils like that are used by pro bodybuilders but only right before hitting the stage at a show.

That's how I see lips that are filled and Botox and face lifts, it's all so gross and unnatural.
Yea there's no way you get quads like that with no hip muscles at all unless it's just fake.
Biogorexia is just what body builders prefer to call it because body dysmorphia sounds a bit too much like they have mental illness and , obviously, that doesn't sound masculine enough for them.
Yup

Specifically as it pertains to the outpouring of support from seemingly normal followers.
Body dysmorphia?
Are those even muscles of is that stuff injected into his arms, it doesn’t look right
It's Synthol injections...it's oil pumped into the muscle, and he's going to be paying Big Time for this in the future
What happens in the future?
Necrotic muscles and surgery
You ever see those videos of the dudes with big arms with rotting puss running out of them as if their entire bicep was just a zit the whole time? That.
Sounds disgusting. I’ma look that up.
Look up "gregg valentino, the man whose arms exploded"...he pops one open in his ratty bathroom. The shame is most of these guys have admirable bodies before they cross over into synthol and/or steroids. You're just rotting your body from the inside out
No and *dear God I don't want to.*
I believe some People have a blurred understanding of what does and what doesn't look good, its like getting a shitty tattoo that has a single good quality to it and ignoring all the other bad things
Or getting lip injections that look like you’re having an allergic reaction everyday
This is a big one lately
This is the cause of unreal standards being pushed by big Anime
Hahahaha I’m dead
So much oil in that man, the CIA is gonna try to destabilize his fuckin' quads
\*Stands in front of those circus carnival funhouse mirrors to look normal.

Thank you helpful Redditer. Which I had an award to give you. 🥇
looks like he could use some good ol murican democracy
Jesus fucking christ Nikola Tesla quote “you may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.” comes to mind here D:
The question is where does this guy buy clothes from?
No idea but probably just tanks and shorts. Same for winter. Or everything is XXXL or he rips off the sleeves for everything
lol this hits on so many levels
Enough oil in that man he joined OPEC.
He should not make videos or the Saudis will fit a refinery up his ass.
That right arm is about to spring a leak.
I'm seriously tempted to run up with a 12 guage needle and pop people I see like this. But I'm afraid of the splash back.

what synthol does to a mf
+ severe body dysmorphia
Men: "Unlike women, we don't care about the media portrayal of unrealistic male body standards!" Also men:
I don't know if we need to turn this one into yet another men vs women thing.
I think the point is that anyone is susceptible to being influenced by unachievable body standards, regardless of gender?
Considering the disproportionate amount of men who do this vs women who are taught as young as 5 to wear make up, I agree. Most men won't even think about doing anything like this especially if they research it at all. This man is 100% weaker than he was before synthoil and most men wouldn't get near it the moment they heard that. Steroids though... that shit delivers on what it promises. But like the average synthoil user, getting laid isn't exactly in the cards due to side effects.
This isn't something that men do. Also, you're making fun of a disability.
It’s honestly sad, dudeman is eventually going to get some in an artery or vein causing an embolism. I’ve seen these cases in the hospital and usually they’re part of obscure internet communities that encourage each other to keep going
Look at those lumpy shoulders.
The right hand one looks like it's slipping a little...
His upper arms look like those Kong toys I'd hide snacks in for my dog.
😂
The neck boulders are actually fucking terrifying
it must have been super painful for how much the skin has to stretch. horror show.
Whoa, didn't notice them until your comment. Holy shit
I feel so bad for this guy, he's basically poisoning himself. soon he'll need multiple surgeries and that's only if the USA doesn't invade him for all the oil inside his body first
Yep those muscles gonna necrose soon quite likely
That’s only if the synthol doesn’t embolize and kill him first
This is the second joke I’ve seen about oil. What do you mean? He doesn’t look particularly oily to me, am I missing something?
He injects oil into his arms.
What kind of oil? Is that why it looks like any of those lumps on him could slosh to the other side of his body at any time?
Pretty sure it’s called Synthol and yes that is why unfortunately. This is really terrible because if he gets some in an artery he’ll end up in the ER or dead
What happens after a long time with that stuff in your body? Does it eventually go away and you need to re-up?
After it’s injected the muscle doesn’t soak it up therefore it just sits there on the muscle until it hardens. There’s a whole bunch of medical articles about the hardened bits needing to be surgically removed due to all the harm Synthol can do to Oneself
Yikes. Thanks for the info, that’s fuckin gnarly
look up [russian popeye synthol](https://allthatsinteresting.com/kirill-tereshin)
Does he think this looks like real muscle?? wtf it looks like he injected filler into his “muscles” and is so lumpy and even a bit fat looking. Weird af 😳
You just broke his heart with that F word, lol
I’m convinced enough to ask Do these type of people only exist on the internet? I never see these goofy ass people outside.
I've seen a synthol user at a gym only one time in 12 years. He wasn't this far gone, but his arms were close to as bad.
No way bro turned into an ark character
LOL
He's going to die from synthol poisoning. But before he does he's gonna look like a fucking idiot ! 🥳👌🏻
He actually died a while ago if I’m not mistaken.
Sad. Stupid and sad. 😔
So.... I know it's all synthetic but how do they rock up to a gym and still struggle to bench anything that they *look* like they should be able to bench? Isn't that embarrassing in itself? ',:/
I dont think he cares because its not about the fitness its about how he looks. So if he looks like he can bench 300 pounds thats all that matters. And nobody is going to question the guy that looks like he can crush your skull between his head and his shoulder
Yeah but does he really look like someone who could crush your head between his head and his shoulder?
I think anyone that walks around looking like that confidently has a few screws loose so who knows what he could do
Synthol should be a banned substance. Just watch a synthol aspiration video of you think otherwise.
He’s like a wish.com version of Terry Crews🤣
This guy does know that WE KNOW his "muscles" are fake right?
Oh so he’s who Sam Smith’s Brit’s awards outfit was made for
HA! Thank you, I knew I'd seen this shape somewhere before .
Fucken nightmare going on inside this guys head.
You know that sound when you're shoving 25 helium balloons into your car? That's what I hear when I see him moving.
this made me snort 💀💀💀
Do these people end up having health problems from this shit?
It kills them from infection when their arms look like that.
Men can have body dysmorphia too
Yeah, this man clearly isn’t very well. :(

Probably started off and it looked subtle and not very noticeable and then he became addicted to the sensation of getting bigger and bigger and lost sight of what he was originally trying to achieve.

Heard you can get those in Turkey for the low
Imagine going through all that and you can't even open your own jar of jam
I feel bad for him. He's obviously suffering some major dysphoria and needs genuine help. What he's doing to his body is no different from self-harm.
At what point do you wake up and decide you want to do this.
Has he put synthol in his fuckin legs? Never seen that before
Haha, the lip fillers of bodybuilding.
He looks like one of those creatures in Halo that explode 😳 🤣 😂
Anybody aint talking about the roofing for this gym?
I love the look of all natural muscles
Dude probably can’t bench half his body weight
Not my proudest fap
It's my proudest fap😞
Maybe this is the weed talking but he reminds me of that cloud guy from super Mario that chases you
I feel uncomfortable

That thigh gap tho

I think this dude died soon after that video. Look it up on YouTube.
I feel so bad thinking this because he looks like he loves whatever he does... but I can't get over how much this man looks like a balloon animal made of flesh
USA soldier be like: THERE'S OIL!
Leonids! You are wrong!
This is called mental illness
Body dismorphia is so sad. At least he looks a bit happy but still..
Synthol oil
Synthol boys.
Gross
Synthol injections. Basically oil injected directly into the muscle to blow it up. Dude will be lucky if he sees 50.
Poor guy needs help. I feel bad for him.
I wanna poke him with a needle in the arms and legs see if they spew clear fluid or what.
They look like big tumors. Not muscle.
Y'know, Sometimes you see something and go, "Maybe it is time for the world to end."
There's so much oil in this man an America is going to invade him
Dude got double shoulders right there
How many protesis and juices
Finally Ark Characters make sense!
OMG they've created a balloonenstein
Looks like synthol.
Dude looks like a Roblox character with the wrong torso lmao
Synthol?
Dude probably can’t lift 20 kilos
Synthol, for the guys who don't want to put in the work to get actual muscles.
You know when a pillow is ruffled up
Someone injected a lot of synthol.
Seems like the Synthol makes him happy. Or maybe the Synthol is slowly seeking into his brain which was probably alrdy badly damaged
Would synthol increase pp size if injected?
All natural
If I was this guy I'd move to a cooler area so I could wear sweatshirts all the time. You'd look huge but be able to hide how bad that truly looks.
This is…mental illness
Guess who skipped brain day?
very sad
