Synthol is a non-anabolic drug used to locally increase muscle volume and give it an ideal shape. The drug was developed by the German chemist Chris Clark in the 1990s. It is especially common in professional sports before competitions. The name “synthol” occurs by analogy with the nuclear fusion reaction, but this name was already patented, so later the synthol escalating density training began to be sold under the Pump-N-Pose brand (“pump and pose”). Original Synthol is officially positioned as an oil for posing with the word “site enhancement oil” for unhindered distribution.

Synthol composition:

• 85% of the oil is Medium Chain Triglycerides, for example caprylic acid in the Syntherol brand. It is often used purified sesame and coconut oil.
• 7.5% lidocaine as a local anesthetic
• 7.5% benzyl alcohol as a preservative

According to Denis Borisov, Synthol was used by such athletes as Flex Wheeler, Jean Pierre Fuchs, Nasser El Sonbati, Marcus Ruhl, Ernie Taylor, Ronnie Coleman.
