When used correctly, Synthol is no better or worse than steroids.

*In tribute to the late Bostin Loyd, who sadly passed away at 29 years old, we are republishing an archived interview from our Iron Cinema series first conducted in 2016.

Every week, Iron Cinema will connect you with Generation Iron director Vlad Yudin. Giving you unprecedented inside access to the creative process behind his the Generation Iron Fitness Network. Get a first hand look at the entire journey of taking Vlad’s creative ideas to the big screen – from stories on set of films like Generation Iron and CT Fletcher all the way to exclusive behind-the-scene looks at our newest GI news and films. This week Vlad talks further with controversial bodybuilder Bostin Loyd about the use of Synthol and how it’s more commonly used at the top of the IFBB than you would ever imagine.

Bostin Loyd was another bodybuilder who had a lot to say – and so much of it was valuable that we needed to do a a second part of his interview as well. In part 2 I talk with Loyd in depth about the use of synthol and how it compares to the rampant use of steroids in the industry. Bostin Loyd has always been open and honest about all things – including steroids and synthol. So it’s good to get further clarification on how the industry really works beyond what active pros tell us. Synthol is normally frowned upon and considered a “cheat” – something that serious pros never partake in… but Bostin Loyd has a very different truth (according to him) about the use of Synthol. Hear it all in our latest interview above.
