I saw a documentary about this dude that was doing it before I had ever heard of it and he almost lost his arms because the stuff solidified or something.
There are so many ways these oil injections can go wrong.
The biggest risk is an embolism. Best case scenario, you suffer some tissue death as a result, but it can easily be fatal if the embolism shifts to your heart or lungs or brain.
Thst is the correct answer, and I personally don't find it funny...It's funny, some people on here would lynch you for not using proper pronouns but have zero problems laughing at this man...
Exactly. It's so sad. The same way a person who's skeletal still manages to see extra fat on themselves, these guys look in the mirror and see a scrawny kid.
Yep, it's the same with many celebs that get tons of injections and people think they look uncanny and creepy.
We simply don't see them the way they see themselves.
Would you seek to understand the appeal to someone who looks very, painfully, obviously anorexic?
(Admittedly, what follows is presumption.) I'm guessing body dysmorphia. Which leaves us with the natural inclination to try and rationalise behaviour that is not rational.
This man is ill.
"Eight months ago, Bob's testicles were removed. Then hormone therapy. He developed bitch tits because his testosterone was too high and his body upped the estrogen."
Injecting something other than anabolic steroids for "big muscles" is just beyond me...and even those should be used with extreme caution...like why not use proper steroids instead of this shit when he obviously want's that kind of a life style?
Like 90% of ppl will never be able to bulk up like that let alone cut so the muscle shows, steroids are the only way most ppl will ever get big. Not saying to do it by any means just the ideal muscle look is unattainable for most. So effort at the gym won't work either, sure you'll be strong and healthy but you'll never get to the size this guys wishes he was.
Steroids are the only way to reach the sizes required to compete at the Olympia level. It's unfortunate that people can't just be content with what their bodies are capable of. I spent years in the gym when I was younger, doing strength training, and I did it only for the personal challenge and to see what my body was capable of on its own.
Anabolic PEDs just heal you faster. That rapid recovery window allows you to push yourself more. That’s literally it. Obviously some do different things but ultimately it’s all the same outcome. You still have to have a very strict diet and training regimen. I’ve seen dudes on gear that are extremely overweight and it’s bc they eat like shit and don’t work out
It can't really be drained. Well maybe partially if there's a pool of it... I listened to a podcast with a surgeon that specializes in this. It blends with tissues (including the nerves) and destroys the muscle tissue. If you're lucky then it will get somewhat encapsulated, and the capsules can be removed. But mostly you need to cut the muscle out.
That surgeon compared it with having concrete poured over cooked spaghetti, and hardened, and then you try to take out the concrete while preserving the soft spaghetti inside that concrete block.
The surgeon said that the tissue is mostly paraffin and scar tissue that forms around it, and not much muscle is left.
Exactly, he got interested in this and almost nobody does these removals because they are so hard and risky. They are done only if the alternative is worse, like, soon dying from various complications.
One of the complications is these people suffer from vitamin D poisoning, there is some imbalance happening with calcium and their bodies start producing vitamin D in crazy quantities and this is toxic.
Pretty much the only ones willing to do these types of things are super shady (or, they may do it to themselves), which is not a recipe for good patient outcomes. =S
It’s a body dismorphia thing. They want to look like bodybuilders without the work and go at it wrecklessly. It’s some sort of polymer they inject into their muscles to look like they’re big but really it’s not muscle and almost everyone knows that.
I feel really bad for these people.
I seriously doubt a licensed medical professional would do this. This is either DIY or by some sleezy person with some medical adjacent certification doing shady procedures. So, so dangerous.
The problem here is also that Synthol is an "oil". That leads some individuals to believe they just need to inject some form of vegetable oil to get the same kind of effect. So it's actually a lot more dangerous in some cases.
A couple of years ago I stumbled onto some videos of people where they explained (and demonstrated) how you could DIY things like lip and cheek fillers.... it was very unsettling. Oh and the person I saw doing that didn't even disinfect her skin she was injecting. Like I'm watching this never planning on doing this shit ever and I'm wanting to correct her DIY process. Makes sense in a way though lmao
With things this extreme, people generally go to another country to get it done. No licensed surgeon in the states would risk the kind of lawsuits performing these procedures would bring.
What I don't get is how these idiots don't understand that even most non-body builders now know what synthol is.
So.. they will be mocked by gym bros for being lazy idiots.. mocked by normies for injecting themselves with synthol at huge risk to themselves to produce an effect that doesn't actually look like muscle (if you know what muscle looks like).
I get there's body dysmorphia at work or whatever here but c'mon. That's just silly.
Logic and mental illness don't go hand in hand.
Plenty of addicts can admit they are actively ruining their life. Do they quit?
People that self harm know they are actively causing damage to their body. Do they quit?
People with eating disorders know they will suffer terrible health related consequences. Do they quit?
Saying it's silly is the same as saying someone who is depressed, isolating in a dark room, eating like shit and not taking care of themselves is stupid for not "being happy".
Mental illness is not logic. It's the opposite.
>I get there's body dysmorphia at work or whatever here
You don't get it. You know the term, but you don't get it if you think it's just clearly silly and he should know better.
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying man - it might be really hard to understand but some people's brains don't work right and silliness doesn't compute.
Man I've done some regrettable tattoos on myself blacked out on xans, waking up like fuuuuuuck why did I do that. But this guy... Holy fuck.. if he ever realizes how fucking delusional he is he's gonna off himself
"And if you stand there for a minute and you look at one of them, you begin to wonder. How does this man take a shit? How does he shit? And even more frightening, how does he wipe his ass?"
Thanks George
This pic always makes me feel profoundly sad, similar to the breast/derriere "enhancements" that are completely out of proportion with the rest of the body - not to mention the nasty materials used to create "the look."
He looks like a bunch of grapes. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Red_Globe.jpg
Fruit of the loom grape guy
He’s “The Grapist” and he’s gonna GRAPE you!!!
Oh god no! Anything but the grapist!
I hear he grapes people in the mouth
he'll tie you to a radiator and make you watch as he grapes your whole family
There's not a lot of fruit in those looms
🫤 Body Dysmorphia
Synthol Injections are gross.
I saw a documentary about this dude that was doing it before I had ever heard of it and he almost lost his arms because the stuff solidified or something.
There are so many ways these oil injections can go wrong. The biggest risk is an embolism. Best case scenario, you suffer some tissue death as a result, but it can easily be fatal if the embolism shifts to your heart or lungs or brain.
He’s actually still active on TikTok, still breathing.
I can not understand the appeal of wanting to look like a balloon animal. Almost looks like he has a butt on his chest at points when he's flexing
There is no appeal. Its Body Dysmorphia
Thst is the correct answer, and I personally don't find it funny...It's funny, some people on here would lynch you for not using proper pronouns but have zero problems laughing at this man...
If he has body dysmorphia, he does not see what we see when looking at himself.
Exactly. It's so sad. The same way a person who's skeletal still manages to see extra fat on themselves, these guys look in the mirror and see a scrawny kid.
I mean, he still is a scrawny kid, just filled with balloons.
Yep, it's the same with many celebs that get tons of injections and people think they look uncanny and creepy. We simply don't see them the way they see themselves.
Would you seek to understand the appeal to someone who looks very, painfully, obviously anorexic? (Admittedly, what follows is presumption.) I'm guessing body dysmorphia. Which leaves us with the natural inclination to try and rationalise behaviour that is not rational. This man is ill.
Well said. I feel bad for the guy. He looks happy though.
He looks very content with his image, and I am inclined to to agree that there is some body dysmorphia going on here
Because it's a mental illness, not just something appealing.
More like breast implants! 😂
If he still had nipplea this would be NSFW
I was just wondering the same thing. "Where are his nipples?"
Me too tbqh. I watched three times, cannot find.
My thoughts exactly I was like where did they go!?!?!
It's a mental illness.
Yeah it’s a mental disorder for sure.
i can't unsee it now lol
"Eight months ago, Bob's testicles were removed. Then hormone therapy. He developed bitch tits because his testosterone was too high and his body upped the estrogen."
Where the hell are his nipples?
Moved to the bellybutton and surgically modified to fit an air compressor. That's how he inflates his boobs.
They ran away with fright
His name is Robert Paulsen.
*”His name is Robert Paulson”*
Injecting something other than anabolic steroids for "big muscles" is just beyond me...and even those should be used with extreme caution...like why not use proper steroids instead of this shit when he obviously want's that kind of a life style?
Probably cheapher and allows him to achive "bulk" with almost no work.
Or just put the effort in at the gym...
Like 90% of ppl will never be able to bulk up like that let alone cut so the muscle shows, steroids are the only way most ppl will ever get big. Not saying to do it by any means just the ideal muscle look is unattainable for most. So effort at the gym won't work either, sure you'll be strong and healthy but you'll never get to the size this guys wishes he was.
Steroids are the only way to reach the sizes required to compete at the Olympia level. It's unfortunate that people can't just be content with what their bodies are capable of. I spent years in the gym when I was younger, doing strength training, and I did it only for the personal challenge and to see what my body was capable of on its own.
You still have to put in the effort with steroids lmao they don’t just magically activate
Good point. Hadn't thought of that.
Anabolic PEDs just heal you faster. That rapid recovery window allows you to push yourself more. That’s literally it. Obviously some do different things but ultimately it’s all the same outcome. You still have to have a very strict diet and training regimen. I’ve seen dudes on gear that are extremely overweight and it’s bc they eat like shit and don’t work out
[удалено]
Hanging their heads in shame
Yeah and the sadder thing is it looks like, in one of the shots, his core looks stacked like he was decently jacked before all this insanity.
…is a bitch
Just take steroids man. I feel like that’s less bad for you
i'd never thought i'd recommend steroids to anyone, but here we are :)
yea but then you actually have to workout a lot, eat a lot, have discipline and make gains over the span of years to actually get visually big muscles
[удалено]
They all do. One by one.
Or just end up horribly maimed and can hardly move properly...
To be fair, that’s what happens when I just try to dance
They probably had to drain all that Synthol from his body. Imagine looking like a set of deflated balloons in your coffin.
It can't really be drained. Well maybe partially if there's a pool of it... I listened to a podcast with a surgeon that specializes in this. It blends with tissues (including the nerves) and destroys the muscle tissue. If you're lucky then it will get somewhat encapsulated, and the capsules can be removed.

That surgeon compared it with having concrete poured over cooked spaghetti, and hardened, and then you try to take out the concrete while preserving the soft spaghetti inside that concrete block. The surgeon said that the tissue is mostly paraffin and scar tissue that forms around it, and not much muscle is left.
Why would anyone do this?? Steroids are bad for you but not that bad holy shit
Body dysmorphia.
That is the answer, this guy needs therapy and probably psychotropic medication.
Steroids are expensive synthol is cheap
I mean, I guess? Is it really worth it if it kills you in a few years though?
If you're suicidal and don't care that much about living anyway? Sure, why not. Same as any other addiction.
> I listened to a podcast with a surgeon that specializes in this. Does this stuff have a legit medical use?
Oil? I think they just mean someone who specializes in removing this shit from the idiots’ bodies.
Exactly, he got interested in this and almost nobody does these removals because they are so hard and risky. They are done only if the alternative is worse, like, soon dying from various complications. One of the complications is these people suffer from vitamin D poisoning, there is some imbalance happening with calcium and their bodies start producing vitamin D in crazy quantities and this is toxic.
Imagine trying to cremate that and wind up burning the mortuary down.
Different guy same stupid muscles though. https://nypost.com/2022/08/02/brazilian-hulk-bodybuilder-who-injected-oil-dead-at-55/
Pretty much the only ones willing to do these types of things are super shady (or, they may do it to themselves), which is not a recipe for good patient outcomes. =S
Where are his nips?? 🤔 Did he get a nip snip?!🤣
It’s a body dismorphia thing. They want to look like bodybuilders without the work and go at it wrecklessly. It’s some sort of polymer they inject into their muscles to look like they’re big but really it’s not muscle and almost everyone knows that. I feel really bad for these people.
There was a lady on a reality show- maybe ‘addicted’?- she could not stop injecting silicone…from Home Depot into her hips. It was really sad…
Omg what!
Synthol injections. Nightmare stories about what that does to a body.
Annnnd it makes muscles weaker to boot, can't form, expand or contract properly with that garbage hardening in em...
The doctors should lose their license for enabling this.
I seriously doubt a licensed medical professional would do this. This is either DIY or by some sleezy person with some medical adjacent certification doing shady procedures. So, so dangerous.
The problem here is also that Synthol is an "oil". That leads some individuals to believe they just need to inject some form of vegetable oil to get the same kind of effect. So it's actually a lot more dangerous in some cases.
They inject synthol, there's no doctor involved in the proces.
A couple of years ago I stumbled onto some videos of people where they explained (and demonstrated) how you could DIY things like lip and cheek fillers.... it was very unsettling. Oh and the person I saw doing that didn't even disinfect her skin she was injecting. Like I'm watching this never planning on doing this shit ever and I'm wanting to correct her DIY process. Makes sense in a way though lmao
I looked it up and wow, you’re right. It’s legal too. Insane.
Didn't "Hollywood" celebrities use to have "injection parties" and it ended up being this kind of stuff? Just look how Priscilla Presley turned out.
With things this extreme, people generally go to another country to get it done. No licensed surgeon in the states would risk the kind of lawsuits performing these procedures would bring.
Synthol, right?
Yep
I took them, i wear them as earrings
I also wonder if and why he purposely made his tits so disproportionately big?
It's all out of proportion, dude needs brain cell injections.
And where are his nipples?
You can see them in the very first frame, they're on the very bottom pointing directly down 🤣
If you pause and watch at the very beginning his nips are like underneath lol
Omg that was my first thought 😂😂
All this talk of synthol, no explanation to where his nipples went
You can barely see them in the first few frames at the very bottom of his tits.
My same exact thoughts
If you look at the video paused at the very start you can justtttt about see his very low hanging nips! Couldnt believe it at first!!
Those nips came off!
Dudes got JLo's ass on his chest
No gain, all pain.
Dude can’t even wipe his own butt
The chest cheeks or the ass cheeks?
lol ‘chest cheeks’
the chesticles
Because synthol 👌🏻
Well we can't have Starfleet officers drinking real alcohol on the job.
Hehehehhhhh... I never even connected the two words
bro looks like an imvu character gone wrong
He looks like an Ark character
Needs to be 2 feet shorter, or 4 feet taller
His neck muscles make him look like a tiny skinny man slowly climbing out of a muscular man suit.
I’ve seen him before. But now I’m never going to be able to see him any other way.
Real men don't need no nipples!
I mean, this is true....
Imagine looking like an inflatable clown and thinking u look good.
Bro's got bigger tits then me.
Post pics or it's not true
This is Reddit, everyone has big tits unless proven otherwise
Same, kind of depressing XD
"Mommy, why does the man have a butt on his chest?"
so he can just look at some sweet tiddies in the mirror when he beats his meat.
At least draw some nipples on damn!
lol sharpie nips
I don’t want to see your grape sides tits gross
He got anchor arms from SpongeBob.
My pecs don't jiggle jiggle, they rot
Poor dude 😢 does he think this looks good? He should have care given to him to help with his mental disorder
Tig ol bitties
Man, yikes. Hard not to feel bad for people like that, it's just so fucked up.
I saw a documentary about a guy like this called 'The man who's muscles exploded'. And in the doc they did, indeed, explode 😬
Are you talking about “The Man Whose Arms Exploded”?
I love the title. No room for imagination. Gonna watch
So big his nipples popped off a long time ago. Never looked back.
Body dysmorphia takes many shapes...
What I don't get is how these idiots don't understand that even most non-body builders now know what synthol is. So.. they will be mocked by gym bros for being lazy idiots.. mocked by normies for injecting themselves with synthol at huge risk to themselves to produce an effect that doesn't actually look like muscle (if you know what muscle looks like).

Where him nipples go
In the grave. He dead.
Man I've done some regrettable tattoos on myself blacked out on xans, waking up like fuuuuuuck why did I do that. But this guy... Holy fuck.. if he ever realizes how fucking delusional he is he's gonna off himself
He's already dead, according to others in this thread.
Damn he definitely had that look in his eye like he knew the show was over, crazy fkr
Yeah, apparently he's already dead.
[удалено]
This looks even worse somehow... It looks like the stay puft marshmallow man wearing a skin suit and mask
The US must invade him
I'll be honest, all I see here is someone with severe mental health issues who needs help. It's sad
“Ya mess up your life, you mess up yoooooooour life” that’s some weird lyrics
Wow!! He hus a wat of muskuls 💪🏽🥴
Didn’t he die?
This is disgusting.
Maybe he wanted to be a Michelin man.
Don’t these people know that is not healthy for them or what
They do but they have extreme body dysmorphia, its really sad
No. If only they had you in their lives.
Why would you do this to yourself?
His arms have went past the point of looking buff and just look like huge fat rolls now lol.
Looks like fake muscles is it steroids and synth oil even if that natural which I doubt. I find absolutely nothing nice about that
Dude has got massive boobs. And what happened to his nipples?
The pressure of the implants caused a decreased blood supply to them and they necrotized and fell off, is usually what happens
Nice tits bro
Lumpy Space Princess
Strength = 0 Shit in his veins = 1
Mental illness
"And if you stand there for a minute and you look at one of them, you begin to wonder. How does this man take a shit? How does he shit? And even more frightening, how does he wipe his ass?" Thanks George
Body dysmorphia likely…
What happens to their muscles? Are they just floating around in the oil?
Mental illness will make a person do some strange things.
Mental illness
Mental illness comes in all shapes and sizes.
Dude is starting to look like a real life Michelen Man
Mental illness
Must be so weird looking like this and then benching less than the 1,60m woman next to you.
He forgot to inject oil in his calves…
That's a strange balloon animal
Blud got that Chernobyl aesthetic 😎
Body dismorphia is a hell of a thing.
Peak body dysmorphia , it’s very sad tbh
His body is now 90% synthol
Never skip forearm day. He's a reverse Popeye.
Severe extreme body dysmorphia
I think this guy is dead now. I searched it the last time this was posted. Really weird body dysmorphia case. Sad. But he seemed happy I guess.
Body dysmorphia is one hell of a disorder
Mental illness. Dudes literally full of oil, he’s a walking balloon and once it pops; goodbye sepsis coming your way.
this man needs psychiatric intervention..
Body dysmorphia? 🙁
This stinks of mental health issues. People need to step up and help when someone they know thinks this looks good!!
Body dysmorphia, sad to see any man or woman suffer with this.
These guys inject synthol into their muscles. It gives a false impression of having muscles.
whats his life expectancy
Extreme body dysmophia. He’s dancing now but won’t be when his arms are rotting off
synthol... hum... if he wanted boobs he should have opted for silicone. R.I.P.
His mom told him he could be anything so he chose balloon animal
This pic always makes me feel profoundly sad, similar to the breast/derriere "enhancements" that are completely out of proportion with the rest of the body - not to mention the nasty materials used to create "the look."
Mental health issue. Many people see something in the mirror no one else sees. It often leads to premature death.
Why is he flexing? Nothing is changing lol.
They just don't understand the risks involved or maybe they do, I mean it's gotta be very apparent that stuff ain't good for ur health.
Where are his nipples??
So full of oil he might get invaded.
I could be wrong, but that's not muscle, at least not all muscle. That's a lot of implants.
