Russian bodybuilder shows off his 60 centimetre biceps after injecting them with deadly bulking oil

A RUSSIAN bodybuilder has flaunted his 60 centimetre biceps, which he obtained by injecting them with litres of a deadly bulking oil.

A BODYBUILDER from Russia with Popeye-like biceps has been slammed for his controversial bulking method that doesn’t involve eating spinach.

Kirill Tereshin, from Pyatigorsk in south western Russia’s Stavropol Krai region, attracted attention for his huge 60 centimetre biceps developed after he injected a deadly bulking oil.

The 21-year-old used a site enhancement oil, commonly known as synthol, after leaving the army earlier this year and his biceps increased in size by 26 centimetres in just 10 days.

Despite the fact his biceps are completely out of proportion with the rest of his body, he plans to continue with his risky regimen in a hope to break body building records.

Mr Tereshin first started by injecting 250ml into his biceps, but decided to up the dose when his gains plateaued at three centimetres.

“In order to reach such a size, you need to inject litres into your arms,” he told The Sun.

The 68kg bodybuilder said his weight increased by six kilograms since he started taking the injections, but it wasn’t without side effects.

“I was doing it and getting a fever of up to 40 degrees, I was lying in bed, feeling like I was dying, but then it all turned out fine,” he said.

Synthol is a blend of oil (85 per cent), painkillers and alcohol, and once injected expands between muscle fibres and hardens. However, as it breaks down overtime users need to keep injecting.

According to a 2015 research article in the Journal of Health Psychology, risks attached to the drug include nerve damage, skin problems, oil-filled cysts, muscle damage, stoke and the development of scar tissue.

The most common use of synthol is for smaller muscles such as the biceps, triceps and calves, although it may be used for the shoulders in extreme instances.

In the bodybuilding community, the use of synthol if considered cheating as no hard training or dieting is required to gain mass.

“The physical appearance achieved through the use of synthol is not very aesthetically pleasing,” explained Mr Supplement on its website.

“As a result of injecting synthol, the end result is often what looks like an unnatural mutation in the arms or shoulders, covered in lumps and bumps.

“It’s very hard to fool people into believing it is 100 per cent natural muscle due to the fake, lumpy and puffy look that it induces in the muscle.”
