Bodybuilders puff up with ‘Popeye’ oil jab
BODYBUILDERS seeking more impressive physiques are turning themselves into living versions of the cartoon character Popeye by injecting a form of synthetic oil into their muscles, writes Daniel Foggo.
The substance, produced by various companies but known colloquially as synthol, binds with the muscle fibres creating a freakish, bloated appearance. Without any weight training, recipients of the injections can end up with arms larger than their legs.
Synthol, which is a mixture of triglyceride oils and benzyl alcohol, was originally intended as a form of “posing oil” for bodybuilders. When injected into a muscle, however, the body is slow to break it down, so giving an inflated appearance.
I’ve never seen a convincing explanation as to why people want to do this to themselves. Of course Popeye wanted to knock Bluto into the next dimension but what’s up with these grotesque-looking freaks?
They are still human, right?
I’m all about working out to give myself some shape…so I don’t look like a complete dweeb at the beach, but this is sick. Can you imagine the skin these idjuts are left with? Ick.
This is just the reverse anorexia. Body image problems.
On the other hand, I wonder what happens if you inject this stuff in your unit?
3. There goes breakfast, lol.
Gross.
3 – You’ll end up with a tuna can unit… still short but FAT.
Cool, when you beat them up I’ll bet they explode like water balloons!
So this is Ron Jeremy’s secret….
Gives a new meaning to “we’re going to .. pump you up!”.
J/P=?
9, Darnit, you beat me to it. I can hear Dana Carvey now, “Do you want to be a girly man?” 🙂
Here’s nice link with overpumped men.

Popeye and Bluto are a closeted gay couple, look how they are the best of friends (or more) when no one is nearby.
#3, TGW,
I agree. With the anorexic part.

Thanks for the insight into the Popeye and Bluto relationship. I could never figure out how they always got back together again after Popeye kicked the crap out of Bluto. Now I understand. JAFLP (Just Another Fracking Lover’s Spat).
Fusion, not even curious about the other part? LOL
Body dismorphic disorders are hard to comprehend. I wonder what these people see when they look in the mirror.
#11 – nice link Angel. You could have warned us before I clicked it at work! 😉
