Meet The Man Who Takes Going To The Gym Further Than You Ever Thought Possible…

The man you’re about to meet will stop at nothing to achieve what he sees as ‘the perfect body’. ‘Tired of thinness’, Portuguese bodybuilder Valdir bulks up to swell his pecs and biceps using whatever tools he can. And we’re not just talking about gym equipment. He takes huge amounts of chemicals on board (like ‘Synthol‘), known as ‘muscle fillers’.

Valdir appeared on a popular Portuguese television show recently and proudly flaunted his out-there physique. The show’s called ‘A Transformação Mais Incrível’ and it’s a programme all about the world’s most extreme bodies. And Valdir certainly qualifies…

Big Biceps

Although he may be happy with his look, using these types of dangerous muscle fillers can cause a whole range of really quite worrying health problems… Like pulmonary embolisms, nerve damage, strokes and ulcers, infections and cysts.

Synthol is injected by extreme bodybuilders who want to push their size up to the next level. Its use is psychologically addictive, which is why you see more and more people overusing it. It’s basically a slightly more complicated version of alcohol and water. Injected directed into a muscle, it boosts and enlargens, giving the impression that intense work has gone into building up its size.

That’s not to say that all users are lazy. Many Synthol users inject it because they can’t build a muscle for one reason or another. Many people are genetically predisposed to be limited – size-wise – in certain areas.

See what happens when someone falls down the Synthol rabbit hole…
