    Synthol and Fascia


    Hi all. Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, but I'm not sure what Synthol is considered.

    Anyway I was reading this article which explained the following:

    There is a strong tissue that encases each muscle called fascia. It acts to contain the muscle bindles and fibers like a water balloon acts to contain the liquid. In many cases an athlete reaches a point where growth is nonexistent due to the fascia balloon being too full thus blocking further growth or expansion of the muscle. Like a water balloon fascia can be stretched. By injecting a SEO directly into a muscle belly the total volume of the muscle mass is increased resulting in a stretching effect upon the fascia. More room means a greater potential for growth.
    I was reading that and thought, "Wow, that would suck." So is there anyway to remedy this problem without the use of SEO? Or is this only a problem with people the size of Ronnie Coleman and doesn't warrant any concern from "normal" people?

    No I mean the "In many cases an athlete reaches a point where growth is nonexistent due to the fascia balloon being too full thus blocking further growth or expansion of the muscle." part. I was wondering if it's possible to stop this without SEO, or if it's just something one must accept.

    dont know bro, but i have a question for the vets. guys if u use a highly aromatizing drug, would the estrogen stretch out the fascia tissue a lot or does it not effect it that way. ive always wondered that.

    yes , elevated estrogen levels and thus water retention does help strech fascia , also it might facilitate localised increases in mgf and igf-1 in the muscle .
