Kirill Tereshin, the bodybuilder people call “Russian Popeye,” might lose both his arms after years of putting a dangerous mix of chemicals into them. The 29-year-old MMA fighter has been using synthol for years, and now doctors are fighting a bad infection that they just can’t get rid of. This is a terrible result for someone who completely ignored doctors’ warnings just to get huge arms.
According to The Sun, Tereshin first became famous in 2017 when his huge, oversized arms made people think of the famous cartoon character. He was putting the very dangerous chemical straight into his veins, totally ignoring all the warnings he got about his bodybuilding addiction. Synthol injections caused his tissue to harden and then die off, which is called tissue fibrosis and necrosis. This seriously damaged his health.
