In case you are wondering how the men in these pictures turned into what looks like mutated Hulks, they abuse a chemical called synthol.

The world of bodybuilding is pretty elaborate. People do all sorts of weird things to get the body they desire. while anabolic steroids and protein are pretty common, things like synthol abuse are really scary.

People think that Synthol is some sort of steroid but that is not true. Synthol is basically a site enhancement oil. Synthol comprises 85%oil, 7.5 % lidocaine and 7.5% alcohol. Synthol has been around since the early days of bodybuilding.

The real use of synthol is to enhance a specific muscle group right before a competition and improve its appearance. It's a last minute resort that bodybuilders take to get an upper edge over their competition. Bodybuilders inject the concoction into the appropriate area to get instant muscle growth.

But some people have to take simple things and turn them ugly. People started seeing Synthol abuse as a short cut to get ginormous muscles. The synthol abuse epidemic has hit Latin American countries where young bodybuilders are injecting themselves to get jacked.

Some of these bodybuilders don't know where to stop and end up looking like things that would walk out of a nuclear reactor. Certain people become addicted to synthol as it is literally the best shortcut that one can take to get huge muscles. But Synthol doesn't really grow your muscles. Instead, it acts like implants and just stays in there.

Apart from looking like a beast, synthol can seriously affect a person body. Bad quality synthol can lead to infections which create reservoirs of puss and clots in the area. In sometimes, Synthol abuse stops the flow of blood in the area and the limb then has to be amputated. 

The most screwed up part about all of this is that Synthol can be legally purchased, even online! While you can take this shortcut to get ripped, I suggest you stick to a work out routine and a good diet. That's the body that people desire. There is no way you can look attractive when you look like a cloud that is about to explode!
