A gym-goer was forced to have his forearm amputated after a botched bicep curl caused him to develop a deadly flesh-eating bug.
Gabriel McKenna-Lieschke was pumping iron when a 50kg weight caused his bicep to tear clean off his elbow and leaving him screaming in pain.
After surgery to reattach the muscle, the 29-year-old claims his arm swelling up to three times the thickness and turned bright red - before he was rushed back into hospital.
