Aaron Singerman recently pointed out to me that some of the recent bodybuilders who died were all using site enhancement oil. Hmmm.. After reviewing many of the bodybuilders who have lost their lives in the past decade there appears to be a glaring commonality. Most if not all were fans, some openly vocal, of the use of site enhancement oil. What role, if any, did site enhancement oil have in their early demise? Are the risks worth the rewards? Is this cheating? We discuss this and other questions about this questionable practice.

SHR # 2376 :: SHR # 2376 :: Is Site Enhancement Oil Killing Bodybuilders

Show Notes:

[3:10] Harmful effects of SEO’s.

• Necrosis, nerve damage, and staph infection can all happen from site injection alone.
• It is hard to measure the exact effects from SEO’s because the population using them are also using a number of other compounds.
• The oil base used varies as well.
• Different fluids have also been experimented with.
• Women use SEO much more than you would think.

[9:24] How many cc’s do people use per shot?

• It’s not the oil. Users are aiming to build up scar tissue from the injections.
• The majority of the oil gets burned, stored, or converted into other fatty acids, which is where problems can occur.
• These new fatty acids can affect the thrombotic index of blood.

[17:25] Basic HRT’s comparison to SEO’s.

• The ester group attached to compounds used in HRT largely prevent conversion into the harmful by-products that occur from SEO’s.

[20:00] Autoimmune disorders from SEO’s?

• SEO’s are foreign substances. They could lead to autoimmune symptoms or even toxic shock in the body.

[28:33] What about the environment that SEO’s are made in?

• Benzyl alcohol is not going to make a completely aseptic environment.
• In Brazil, it is not uncommon for substances such as cement or motor oil to be used for “site enhancement”.

[32:01] Isn’t this just another form of cheating in bodybuilding?

• If you lump it in with everything else that bodybuilders have to do to win, it is just part of the game.
• If you pick it apart, then yes it is.

[34:00] Carl’s rebuttle

• Steroids, HGH, etc make an actual architectural change in the muscle.
• Implants and SEO’s are not actual muscle.

[36:14] Smaller usage such as that seen in bodybuilding would generally be a more responsible method.

[55:00] Beta alanine to treat advanced glycation endproducts.
