TweetYou have to stretch the facia of the muscle. 3ml of oil 1 time a week just isn't going to do this imho. There is a reason people are shoving 3ml per head for 2-3 weeks straight. Yes it sweels up thats the point is to cause damage in there. From everything i have read and know there is no taking it slow with synthol. You either do it or you don't. Taking it slow will result in no gains and lots of pokes. You have to remember you aren't trying to fill the muscle with oil for it to stay in there. You are wanting to expand the muscle and stretch the facia so when the oil leaves the muscle has room to grow.
