Guys, lets keep in mind that Valentino was a jackass, like several other synthol ABUSERS, and did not use the drug with intelligence. If a guy is using synthol properly, then you wouldn’t even know he’s using synthol to begin with!
I’d be willing to bet that 75% or more of the pro’s use it in some body part or another. The whole point is to stretch the fascia over a long period of time, allowing new muscle to grow and fill up the area in place of the oil.
To the OP- If you feel that your tricep may hold you back from winning the show, then by all means – go for it. If not, then I wouldn’t worry about it because it requires a lot of time and money.
