INBF allows synthol?

xx0noob0xx · Mar 7, 2010

How can you test for it? Unless it's obvious abuse.

they dont allow prohormones and a bunch of other rediculous things but yet they say nothing about synthol. this show im thinking of entering doesnt test they just do a polygraph.

Hadnt thought of that. I guess a polygraph would work as a test for synthol use.

Easy to beat a polygraph though.

I know some people feel like they are smart and can beat it, but from my understanding its nearly impossible if the person conducting it knows what he/she is doing.

some people have a certain genetic condition in which they show no excitability, so when they lie on the polygraph none of the vitals tested will be elevated whatsoever. because of people like this, and others that are capable of beating polygraph tests(i know a few who have done it), the test is considered inaccurate and for that reason is not allowed to be used as evidence in a court of law.

Talked to a few people who have beat it myself. One dude sat there and when they would ask him a question he knew he had to lie to he just asked himself a question in his head and told the truth to that one. Showed up as the truth.

Also, not like this a completely credible source lol, but Pen and Teller: Bullshit showed that if you squeeze your perineum (pretty sure that's the word... haven't taken anatomy of the lower pelvis in a long time) upwards (basically squeezing your asshole shut) you can get the test to misread.

good stuff^^^^

Seem's to random to be bullshit,haven't ever had to take that test,but if i ever do ill def try it lol...

If you go on the INBF website it lists any MUSCLE IMPLANTS OF ANY KIND are strictly prohibited.

I used to compete in the INBF and eventually made it up to the wnbf ranks. Some of the athletes in both organizations are truly natural while others are not and slip through the cracks. That is far more evident at the natural pro (WNBF) level where guys and sometimes gals are using everything at their disposal without getting caught to get ahead.
In any case if you don't abuse synthol .. I am pretty sure that you will be ok...

technically its not an "implant" but correct me if im wrong, its an oil that stretches the muscle and it eventually turns into muscle?

The oil itself doesn't turn to muscle, but it stretches the fascia which is the limiting factor in muscle growth.

It is not an implant at all, but common misconception views it like that sometimes, so you don't know how the federation views syntherol as.

Lie detectors

There are a lot of myths out there -- and some truths I suppose. Squeezing your perineum supposedly works, but as Maldorf pointed out, an expert will know what you are doing and will call you on it. Another one is putting a tack in the end of your shoe, and when the q is asked, poking your toe causing pain signals. The one tried and true method that some CIA operatives had used in the past is the use of drugs. Beta-blockers taken right before a test will keep the brain from jumping all over.

I was told that pain can somehow help you pass.Apparently if you put a tack or something sharp in your shoe and everytime you answer a question you inflict pain ,it makes the reading on every question the same and they interpret that as passing.

Why the hell would you want to cheat anyway? Thats so sad. I guess some people need the validation.

If your going to get on the gear do the comps that dont test. Dont be one of those cases where they tell everyone they are natural when they arent.

Email them and ask them if they test for synthol.

Great comment...far too often however some athletes are in search of "glory" and they will do anything to achieve their objectives ...SAD!

I can tell you that its use is rife in the natural ranks because it cannot be tested for.
