After his characteristic arms exploded during the action, a Russian bodybuilder known as ‘Popeye’ for his massive augmented biceps was forced to withdraw from a fight.

Kirill Tereshin, a 25-year-old Pyatigorsk resident, posted clips of the horrifying injuries to YouTube last Saturday under the moniker “Bazooka Hands.”

Kirill Tereshin gained prominence online in recent years after posting photos of his bizarrely large upper arms, which look entirely out of place on his thin frame.

To be fair to him, they wouldn’t look right on a young Arnold Schwarzenegger. Synthol oil is extremely harmful, frequently resulting in muscle fibrosis and deformed muscles.

After doctors informed him that he might lose his arms, Kirill underwent two rounds of surgery to remove dead muscle and skin.

Unfortunately for Kirill, it appears that one of Synthol oil’s adverse effects isn’t improved strength or MMA skills.

In 2019, he competed in the cage against fellow Russian online personality blogger Oleg Mongol. Popeye was forced to tap out after Kirill and his tree-trunk arms were beaten by his normal-sized opponent.
