Syntherol Bruising??

dcbuddy · Apr 17, 2006

Hey Guys.

Into my second ten days of using some Syntherol for the first time on my arms and triceps. Making very nice progress so far up about an inch and half in each arm. I am really pumped and hard all the time.

The only issue I have come across is that I have quite a few bruises from all the injections. It is getting to the point where I had a couple of guys look at me funny. Not that I really care at this point. But was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and many has some pointers on injecting this stuff without such side effects.

Thanks for reading and taking time to reply if you can assist.

it often happens to me as I've a lot of veins in my arms
the only thing is you have to work out with long sleev t-shirts loooool

nothing to be worried about IMO

Thanks guys. I am using 25g 5/8".

Hoping end result will outweight this initial glitch.

What kind of results have you guys seen? Have you used for extended amount of time or just once?

Hmm, What size pin are you using, and how are you injecting?

I have done Bi injections before and I find if I use a high guage pin, and inject very slowly bruises are minimal. You may even want to ask a buddy do them for you as sometimes its hard to keep the needle straight and in place while injecting espically if it is hard to push the substance through, I mean you are this far in your program no turning back..

I've had this problem with Synthol (haven't used Syntherol). I used 25's too and It's funny because I hardy ever bruise. I had to pull the plug when the questions started coming.

MikeS · Apr 18, 2006

Thats why I stopped using it. My bi's look shitty at rest, pretty OK when contracted. But usually when you stand normally, they look like crap. Syntherol was the answer. But the bruises may have well have been a sign that said-"LOOK- I SHOOT STUFF INTO MY ARMS". Use a 25g.

Im thinking of trying a 27g as I heard it will pass through there OK. Havent used in a couple years though...

Yet Another Syntherol "Issue"

Thanks for the replies on the bruising question.

Now I have another very wierd "issue". Kind of hard to explain. But it seems I may have not shot some syntherol directly into the bi or tri. As my elbows and forearms are puffy and soft. More on the left arm than the right.

Also I had a tingling sensation occur a day or so ago after I shot in the lower outside bicep of my left arm. It was very wierd. My arm from the elbow up half my forarem felt like it went to sleep. All pins and needles. I rubbed and massaged the heck out of it and it went away but when I really massage either one of my triceps they feel a bit tinglely. (sp).

So anybody have any idea what this might be? Should I stop and wait for swelling to go down a bit? I am eight days into the 2ml round of shots and am up about 1 1/2 inches in each arm. I really want to continue but fear if I do my elbows and forearms will continue to swell and look wierd. The bruising was bad enough but that would be too strange.

Hope someone has some suggestions. Not going to do my shots today to give them a days rest and see what happens.

Could it be my muscles are just saturated and the oil has no place else to go and just gravitiated to open space?

Thanks for reading.

You missed the actual muscle and you shot in between muscle heads. Gravity has taken over.

You touched a nerve or put pressure on the nerve.

Sounds good.

No. The oil cannot move itself out of the muscle and to the joint.

And the brusing is pot luck. If you have lots of veins under the skin, you can't see them and you keep hitting them when you inject. Inj B-12 will keep minimising bruises.

Thanks Big A

I was hoping you would know just what the heck had happened.

All of your replies make sense. It was just when all my issues seemed to pop up around the same time, I got a bit freaked out.

Just an FYI. I have not shot my triceps for two days now and the numb sensation has for the most part gone away. The puffiness in the elbows is also going down.

And I figured out how I missed the muscle to cause this elbow issue. I went back to the injection website to review placement of shots and see that I was shooting in an area too high in the tricep. I thought since it was a bit flat I could make it bigger. Well DUH!! its flat for a reason... the tricep muscle is just not located there.

Live a learn.

My trainer asked me WTF happened when we worked triceps today. He pinched my elbow and said he had never seen anyone retain "fluid" or "fat" it that area before. LOL. I came clean and he we both just laughed.

Anyway. I rec'd my remaining bottles from Synthetek yesterday. Gonna start the 3ml shots in a couple of days and will start up again with both Bis and Tris. Very happy with gains so far and really think there is a chance I will surpass the 3" gain per arm. Huge gain for me but condsidering my arms never grew no matter how hard I trained them I am just over the moon.

Thanks again Big A. Your assistance is and knowledge sharing is greatly appreciated.

That's funny. No matter how much experience we have, we always end up doing some stupid things because we think we are smart LOL

I think that any time your inject yourself in close proximity every day this is going to tend to happen. All of the info above is good advice on the subject, but add one more. Get your blood pressure checked just for safety. Good luck, and the stuff is pretty amazing isn't it?

Big Ian · Jun 5, 2006

I was getting some bruising to start with but it seems to have cleared up now, as others have said, if you've got alot of veins in an area you're going to get them occasionally.

doctorwill · Jun 5, 2006

I screwed up some IGF once (didn't use AA when I reconstituted it) and got bruises from my shoulder to forearm. I told everyone I dropped a barbell on my bis. (Freaked a lot of folks out it was so bad)

LS shirts are an answer. Also, try tanning - it helps cover things up a bit.

Keep us posted on the results. I was thinking of doing the same thing.

Try using a smaller gauge pin.
