When it comes to tricks of the trade that help you get big, Rich Piana is like the Anarchist’s Cookbook personified. If there’s a way to get bigger, he’s not only going to know about it, but he’s going to tell everyone about it shamelessly, too, and that’s the type of guy we need in the bodybuilding world. There are too many fake nattys out there ruining all the fun for everybody else. People can do whatever they want with their own bodies. Want you fill your biceps up with so much Synthol that they start to sag? Go ahead. Want to take such legendary doses of juice that you barely make it to 40 years old, but you spend your days as a total monster? It’s your life, suit yourself. But the problem is when we have these fake natty guys acting like they achieved their huge physiques without any “extra help”, because then you’ve got normal guys pushing them so hard in the gym for goals that aren’t even possible. So even if you can’t stand Rich, you at least have to give him props for being honest about the sacrifices he’s had to make, and for not trying to hide or sugarcoat the truth.
Anyways, in this recent video, Rich Piana goes off on Synthol in 2016,
“I’m so sick of hearing about Synthol. This shit is OLD NEWS. DONE.” – Rich Piana
He says the only people using Synthol these days are the newbies who are just getting into the industry and don’t even know what they’re doing yet.
So what are they going with instead? Keep reading.
He goes on to say that the only time you should really be using it is on the day of the show, if you have the perfect timing, otherwise it’s not something to even mess with. If you need incredible results right before a show, it can give you an extra boost. But the way that everybody talks about it is incorrect, and most people are doing it wrong.
It’s obviously not going to help anybody grow any permanent muscle, he says, but that kind of goes without saying.
Rich says that Synthol is so 15 years ago, these days people are using nolotil. It’s been around for a long time already, it’s not something brand new, and Rich has never tried it. He says he’s used Synthol, but never touched nolotil, despite helping numerous guys get ready for shows that used it. It’s the same sort of deal as Synthol except instead of filling your muscle with oil, it causes inflammation of the muscle and causes it to swell without losing cuts, definition, etc. It won’t change the shape of your muscles like synthol, it just makes them bigger and fuller. It lasts about 2-4 days, and “you can get incredible results and nobody would be able to tell that you used it.” – Rich Piana
“There’s a lkot of people out there using it and nobody has any idea they’re using it and that’s the goal.” – Rich Piana
This stuff isn’t new, but it’s “new” compared to Synthol, yet it’s still a pretty well kept secret compared to Synthol which gets brought up in the comments of just about every single post you see.
A lot of people are looking for some magic way to get huge without putting in the work, but ther’es no such thing. There never has been, there never will be. There are substances that can help a bit, but nothings going to put in the work for you, and never will.
There’s no way ways to get huge. You need to work hard, period.
With all of that out of the way, keep going to watch the video and hear it all in Rich’s own words:
Here’s the video:
What are everyone’s thoughts about this? Is Rich on point, or did he just want to hear himself talk for another 22 minutes? Again, love him or hate him, but a lot of guys are keeping these types of things to themselves, whereas Rich doesn’t have anything to lose. He’s not worried about getting dropped by sponsors because he sponsors himself. He’s not worried about the politics of the federations or the shows because he’s not competing. The guy’s gone rogue.
