He can have the world's largest arms, biceps and triceps, but as one gets older, he is going to end up losing it to flab unless he works harder and harder into his elderly years. I have seen muscled men as seniors. It don't look too pretty unless they are religiously sticking to it and have the money to keep up the training. Otherwise, old age takes its toil. I believe a well balanced body is what is healthiest.Not just one part of it, taken out of proportion.
Yep! Arnold Schwarzenegger had big bulging pecs, but now he has sagging pendulous man boobs. He absolutely needs a bra.
But I guess girls go for big bulging muscles on a young guy the way guys go for big boobs on a girl, even though he knows they'll sag later.
OCD ?
Just disturbing, no?
So he gets a prize for injecting insulin into his arms?
THIS IS NOT MUSCLE
I'm happy for him if that's what he wants, but what's the purpose other than to get into the world record for size? It's almost a moot issue--okay you have big arms, now what? Like I said, if he's happy, okay, but I'm a form follows function sort of person; and this extreme doesn't really have a function except ego flotation.
Freak!
IT IS NOT MUSCLE FOLKS!!! He has injected (most likely cortisone) stuff into his arms to make them look bigger. If you've ever seen 'The man whose arms exploded' you would see the same thing. He says he's a body builder but I guarantee you won't see him in any competitions, it's fake fake fake.
If it's not cortisone, it's synthol. It definitely isn't muscle.
Absolutely injections or implants. No doubt. To get bicep and tricep muscles that large, you'd need similarly large forearm, shoulder, pec, etc., muscles. Look at his forearms, not an ounce of muscle. You can't grip and lift heavy weights repeatedly without having huge forearms as well. Total BS.
Something do nto add up/
He has probably bulked up his arms with injections. But this would mean that he has a very tiny "manhood."
Some guys get pectoral implants similar to women. I wonder if they have bicep implants.
