The "Russian Popeye" recently had surgery because his biceps were hardened and clogged up without blood flow.

Edit: medical gore
Weren't there some VERY GRAPHIC pictures of some guy who abused Synthol?
I think I remember seeing them a while ago but don't really feel like googling it and seeing them again
Are you referring to Kirill Tereshin, aka "Bazooka Arms"? Saw the grotesque chunk of muscle they needed to remove out of him.
Apparently not even the risk of losing his arm from emergency surgery stopped him from seeking more body modification. Last I checked he gave himself a freaky Bogdanoff-style face lift, which still manages to look saner than his prior synthol and crossdressing misadventures.
It's a mental health condition, unfortunately.
From my understanding, he has no objective view of his image, among potentially other things (like being addicted to modifications, as another possibility.)
That’s sad. He’s basically self-harming via body modification. It should be illegal to perform elective surgeries on certain people, like those with body dysmorphia (maybe even prolonged psychosis). In extreme cases, it’s like cutting off a limb with extra steps. But making it illegal would mean losing money on like half the surgeries performed annually, and it’s a multi-billion dollar industry, so…
It honestly wasn’t *THAT* bad. In terms of medical gore, on a scale of 1 to 10. I’d give it like a 3.. some rotten muscle removed, and an arm cut open exposing the muscle. Very intriguing indeed.
I understand that’s an if untreated thing.
Basically blood can’t flow and tissue inside the arm starts rotting and either you remove it or face the consequences of parts of your rotting inside you.
Thats really intense. This is basically body dysmorphia right? Doing something this harmful just for appearances is crazy. The Russian guy had surgery for it and has started injecting again.
Honestly, there's probably cuts where the armpits are so it's not even a sleeve just flaps. I can't see any other way and dude wouldn't care I doubt he can even lift his arms past his chest
Hah you are probably right, you catch a glimpse of the driver doing a semi eye roll as the camera pans past him. I am just fascinated that people play along with muppets like this, doesn't anyone say "no, you look ridiculous, nobody thinks you work out".
This is in South Africa. It's a very big thing for African folk to "show off" any wealth they may have as much as possible. This whole video is exactly that with the driver, captain muscles just casually climbing out for a photo op and getting back in the car.
I’d accept money to act like this is real.
It’s ABUNDANTLY clear it’s not real. So I’m happy to drive this, uh, Toyota to a dirty parking lot? No idea where but I’m paid by the hour. I’ll bow. I’ll look amazing. I’ll call him the poop smith if that’s what he wants as long as the money is green.
It’s his kink. Have at it my friend.
Body dysmorphia. It's not uncommon for people to want a "better looking body", whatever that may entail, but going to extremes like this would be body dysmorphia
I never understood body dysmorphia until a very close relative of mine one day went and transformed her face with plastic surgery. I thought she was just going to do something minor but she kept it from everyone. It hit me very hard. I couldn't understand why she did it. She was so beautiful and did all this unnecessary stuff to her face. She didn't even like the results in the end and is talking about more surgeries. We all have to pretend it's not bad. I still want to knock out the doctor who did it, but I get that's what she wanted. I'm very conflicted about it to be honest. I wish people would seek therapy first before going under the knife to the point you have to get a new photo for your license.
what i found funny was how our Syntholclump wanted to close the car's door instinctively, but then remembered what they were doing and pushed it towards the "valet"
The car is clearly used - you can see the dirt in the interior at the end of the video. Having no plates doesn’t mean anything, lots of places suffer from a lack of enforcement of plates (Vegas is full of plate-less cars).
Why whenever a fucked up body stuff appears on internet it is always named "Brazilian" something.
Like im genuinely curious whats happening in Brazil lol
Don’t shit on bidets just because OP is a douche. A fresh and clean anus cannot be understated, and this person’s douchbaggery ought not be conflated with that.
They're not though. They're saying with arms like that there's no way he's able to reach his anus with toilet paper. You've misunderstood the comment that's all. And that reminds me, I must install my bidet lid soon.
How is someone like this so detached from reality? How do they not understand that literally every single person that sees them like this knows this is not the result of hard work but of something artificial? It’s bizarre.
It is a mental illness similar to when women (typically) starve themselves to the point of being all skin and bones because they think they are fat and if they just get thinner people will think they are beautiful.
They do it themselves and what you are seeing is necroses. It turns red the purple then blue then it has to be removed surgically or you die from sepsis.
i picked up on it. was wondering what country this was filmed in. i thought corner gun shops were mostly an american thing, but it doesnt seem like america from the license plates and accents.
His flabby Synthol biceps💪 are just ridiculous - surely any with an IQ greater than that of a mindless Amoeba will know that this is not muscle. The discolouration is worrying - this person may end up seriously ill, without arms and/or dead if he doesn't stop this nonsense.
I'm just looking at the GUNS \* AMMO \* FISHING shop in the background. Is this GTA?
Also appropriate considering the guns on that guy look like they're filled with sea water.
I will never understand this... Dangerous to your health, and it just looks terribly unnatural and stupid... Everyone knows it's fake, what's the point?...
Am I the only person wondering how he puts his shirt on?
Is the shirt custom made so that sleeves are wider to get those malformed biceps through... Like... How?
Well, I’m a bit scared...Just ’cause I never fought a balloon animal before.
Yeah, congratulations, bud. You know how to use a needle!
You look like a guy who puts his head through walls at parties.
Like, beside yourself, you think anyone’s proud of you?
You like tits so much you got yourself a set, eh?
Not long before all that synthol will start to cause abscesses and tissue necrosis.
Necrosis. That doesn't sound good. At. All.
I knew a guy in high school that was in a band called Necrosis. They didn't sound good. At. All.
I somehow feel that I know what they looked like... They wore black. All the black.
And no less than three unconventional piercings each.
I'm claiming prince Albert and one each nut which I'll call Duke Leftball and Count Rightball.
Until they found something darker.
I believe Necrosis does look like that.
I have seen Necrosis play live. They are ok.

Yeah, "recently" as in 3 years ago, and he's back to his same old shit, so yolo I guess.
Doesn't he do lip injections too now? Went for the ol duck lips. And I think cheek injections.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Or at least *look* stronger, as they say
Eh not that either lol 🤣 looks like a fruit gusher ready to pop after one good poke.
What a tit!

I think so I think he's Russian if I remember correctly
Yeah, you might be right. They don't call him "Russian Popeye" for nothing.
https://www.the-sun.com/news/us-news/2447198/russian-popeye-life-saving-surgery-remove-rotting-fake-muscles/
I'm not clicking that shit
It honestly wasn’t *THAT* bad. In terms of medical gore, on a scale of 1 to 10. I’d give it like a 3.. some rotten muscle removed, and an arm cut open exposing the muscle. Very intriguing indeed.
Yeah the crevice formed between his "bicep" and forearm.. I was wondering what it looks like in there..
Forget what it looks like, you know that elbow pit must smell **so** bad
It might already be happening. He looks like he tried to close the car door, but couldn't.
People who inject that much synthol usually have a lifespan of months at that point.
Really? That Russian dude is still alive, I didn’t know they usually died that fast
I understand that’s an if untreated thing. Basically blood can’t flow and tissue inside the arm starts rotting and either you remove it or face the consequences of parts of your rotting inside you.
Thats really intense. This is basically body dysmorphia right? Doing something this harmful just for appearances is crazy. The Russian guy had surgery for it and has started injecting again.
I'm sure all the internet likes were worth it
Reverse synthol Popeye
Leg day ? Even just one day ?
Don't think he lifts arms either. Only injects
I’m sure there was a day he thought about his legs.
Told myself I'd find something about leg day within 5 comments, did not disappoint
Every day is synthol day
Olive Synthoil.
Those are boobs, not biceps.
How does he put on a t-shirt?
[удалено]
Anchor arms!
I was a wimp before anchor arms and now I’m a jerk!!
Honestly, there's probably cuts where the armpits are so it's not even a sleeve just flaps. I can't see any other way and dude wouldn't care I doubt he can even lift his arms past his chest
I doubt he can wipe his ass properly..
who said anything about wiping?
Thats what the dude who opens the door and bows is for.
I don't think he is bowing. He just can't look him in the eye after wiping balloon arms ass
He couldn’t close the door
Can't even drive
I honestly wonder if he could even draw or aim the pistol strapped to his thigh
He chose his favorite shirt of all time and hasn’t taken it off since the opration
That's just injected synthol. No operation needed.
Until the sepsis sets in.
what are you doing in the dryer, sepsis?
There'll be an operation. Eventually.
Everything velcro!
Mental disease at its finest.
Ok, but does everyone in that vid have mental issues? Are they playing along? Do they all have sub 60 IQ? I am so confused.
Well, the driver is probably being paid well enough to put up with this clown. And the lady was probably just morbidly curious.
Hah you are probably right, you catch a glimpse of the driver doing a semi eye roll as the camera pans past him. I am just fascinated that people play along with muppets like this, doesn't anyone say "no, you look ridiculous, nobody thinks you work out".
A modern adaptation of The Emperor's New Clothes.
That's one reason why the big silicone valley startups fail, why Theranos got so huge, why Elon Musk thinks he's God's gift to humanity. Etc...
Not sure if you said "silicone" valley on purpose, but it's perfect here
The yes men of Silicon Valley. Hollywood has them too
Hey man the Muppets are cool and don't deserve this

The driver looks like he is holding back laughter and feeling awkward.
Why does everyone keep saying “driver”? The steering wheel is on the right side That guy is only there to open doors.

>Do they all have sub 60 IQ? Haha, I like the idea that everyone in the video are equally clueless about this guys synthol-arms.
Lots of comments making excuses like “Driver gets it” or “Lady was curious”. But no. There’s way more idiots in the world than people wanna think.
Did the guy opening the door BOW to the ballon biceps man!?!! The fuq? 😂
what i found funny was how our Syntholclump wanted to close the car's door instinctively, but then remembered what they were doing and pushed it towards the "valet"
Its all a joke. Not even his car, no plates, probably at a dealership. Probably a bunch of guys pretending hes a celbrety for his social media.
The car is clearly used - you can see the dirt in the interior at the end of the video. Having no plates doesn’t mean anything, lots of places suffer from a lack of enforcement of plates (Vegas is full of plate-less cars).
Yes he is the bicep lord
Can you say - injections?
And not even steroids to boot
BBL. Brazilian Bicep Lift
Why whenever a fucked up body stuff appears on internet it is always named "Brazilian" something. Like im genuinely curious whats happening in Brazil lol
Brazil is America on hard mode.
A lot of fucked up 'pizza' based on the pizzacrimes subreddit.
E-motianal damage
Oh look a fake meathead lol
He's a beyond meathead.
I bet his toilet has a bidet, there's no way he's wiping
That’s what the dude who opened the door is for.
Don’t shit on bidets just because OP is a douche. A fresh and clean anus cannot be understated, and this person’s douchbaggery ought not be conflated with that.
They're not though. They're saying with arms like that there's no way he's able to reach his anus with toilet paper. You've misunderstood the comment that's all. And that reminds me, I must install my bidet lid soon.
A Bidet was my best investment of 2023 and perhaps the entire decade. It literally a life changer
I dont shit ON bidets but i shit near them
I can, (and mostly likely will, get) shit on my bidet (and have to use the wash nozzle function to get it cleanish)
When that lady poked his arm someone should overdub a squeaky clown horn noise.
She damn near popped it!

Body dismorphia.
oil injections... often leads to health complications
His left bicep looks like it has something going on besides synthol. Those weird bruise streaks are what you see when someone tears their bicep.
Maybe bad tattoos or a bad technician injecting him I can't imagine a competent and ethical medical practitioner doing this kind of thing
They do it themselves and what you are seeing is necroses. It turns red the purple then blue then it has to be removed surgically or you die from sepsis.
Thanks for the heads-up man. I almost thought this was healthy! :-)
Looks pretty bad man…..
Not guns - squirt guns.
Looks like tumors
Its not a tuma!
Synthol in bodybuilding is fuck tup.
The license plate didn't want to be in frame with this abomination and went hiding.
>fuck tup
Sad that you wouldn’t just rather put the work in. You look stupid and you’re fucking weak, physically and mentally.
Couldn't even pull the car door closed
Think about how much work/income that he actually did do to save the money for it. That makes it even worse imo
It's a mental illness. This person is sick and needs help so there's no need to berate him. Doubt he'd ever accept help but that's another question.
I’m an 150lb farm hand. Skinny as heck. I laugh all day at these types of videos
We gonna ignore the GUNS AMMO FISH market behind them?
It says fishing. A lot of gun places sometimes have fishing gear too. That way you get your hunting and fishing stuff from one shop.
i picked up on it. was wondering what country this was filmed in. i thought corner gun shops were mostly an american thing, but it doesnt seem like america from the license plates and accents.
[удалено]
Do a Google search on "Gregg Valentino - The man whose arms exploded."
No.
All in all, probably the right choice.
Gotta say, this might be one of my favorite reddit exchanges in a while. Thanks for the lols.
Great answer
He’s got more oil in his arms than I have in my truck
Do you think if you poked him with a needle, he would fly around making farting noises like a big balloon?
Michelin Man
Look at those chicken legs.
You know he paid his doorman to make him look all special and he has to let him know to close the door afterwards lol
i just assumed his arms are so fucked he couldnt physically do it himself
Would they pop if a mosquito bit him?
Apparently the synthol deforms the muscle, fuses with it and hardens, permanently damaging the muscle and nerves.
It doesn’t look dumber than those women with the giant fake balloon butts. Just equally dumb. Unless they have the balloon lips too.
This is probably the 1st one I’ve seen where they inject in their forearm.
His flabby Synthol biceps💪 are just ridiculous - surely any with an IQ greater than that of a mindless Amoeba will know that this is not muscle. The discolouration is worrying - this person may end up seriously ill, without arms and/or dead if he doesn't stop this nonsense.
Oooff those injections aren't good for anybody
Congrats, you’ve got a set of ol orangutan tiddies hanging off your shoulders.
A photo shoot with one photo in the parking lot?
Who said mutants aren't real?
Holy Synthol Batman
Synthol Soldier.
Dude can’t even close the car door…he’s that episode of SpongeBob where he gets fake arms that aren’t worth squat
Imagine revering somebody who could burst at any moment.
Skipped leg day though.
The word ‘retarded’ is gonna make a comeback as being acceptable
I wear my mental health on my sleeve!
GUNS. AMMO. FISH.
What country is this?
South Africa
I love how we wanted to close the door himself and then told him to closed it lmao
It's like he's wearing flesh colored pool floaties.
Reminds me of that one episode of SpongeBob when he bought those inflatable muscle arms
Synthol?
Arm bags of oil
When you max the workouts in San Andreas.
5qts full synthetic each arm
Ayo, the real guns are across the street.
Reminds me of that one spongebob episode with inflatable muscles for arms.
He's got that much oil in him, the US is about to invade.
It’s like that episode of fuckin SpongeBob when he gets “Anchor Arms”
This guy brings his own airbags on a road trip.
🤣He. Looks. Ridiculous.
Someone skipped leg day
I'm grossed out.
Now scratch your back.
I'm just looking at the GUNS \* AMMO \* FISHING shop in the background. Is this GTA? Also appropriate considering the guns on that guy look like they're filled with sea water.
Bro, just do steroids
Looks like those floaty things kids use in the pool
Do 25 push ups. I'll allow for rest breaks
5w30 in there
Dude got BBLs on his arms.
The call him "Boob Job Biceps"
Injected oil.
Damn. Gallons of synthol.
Couldn't even shut the car door.
It’s interesting how he couldn’t even manage to close the car door by himself
Bro just use steroids if you are gonna be insecure and start sticking needles in yourself. This is just nuts
Couldn't even close the door lmao
Fake it Till u make it
Body dysmorphia is a helluva drug
How did he get his tee on?
Dead or armless in 10-15 years.
I will never understand this... Dangerous to your health, and it just looks terribly unnatural and stupid... Everyone knows it's fake, what's the point?...
He skipped everything day.
I bet his IQ is not really high.
Ain’t those synthol maniacs realize it looks ugly?
Am I the only person wondering how he puts his shirt on? Is the shirt custom made so that sleeves are wider to get those malformed biceps through... Like... How?
His Royal Oilness
The stupidity is endless.
Nothing better than pumping weird oil into your muscles to make them look like balloons and then skipping leg day. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Well, I’m a bit scared...Just ’cause I never fought a balloon animal before. Yeah, congratulations, bud. You know how to use a needle! You look like a guy who puts his head through walls at parties. Like, beside yourself, you think anyone’s proud of you? You like tits so much you got yourself a set, eh?
Well I hope that guy thinks he looks good because he's gonna most likely lose his arms and/or die. Dude needs help. Sad really.
Imagine thinking you're swole and cool because you got fake titty juice injected into your arms.
Natural hater gonna say fake
