^ nice!

Also, I stumbled accross this today (don't normally read the sun) http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/4611926/Popeye-man-proves-muscles-are-real.html I still call bs

So Moustafa - known as ’Big Mo’ - agreed to undergo a series of medical tests in Japan, including a full-body MRI scan and an ultrasound scan on his upper arms.

Experts found no signs of implants, drug use or intravenous tampering – clearing Mo of any wrong doing.

now dont quote me on this but i thought synthol makes the muscle swell so technicaly all they will see is a swollen muscle but it will be muscle. just of very little use though.

no m8, some compounds are used to artificially swell and harden muscle for competition, essentially like an allergic reaction or immunological swelling.

Synthol actually remains in the muscle body, so what they will see will be essentially a bicep shaped bubble, muscle surrounding a liquid synthol core. The fact he was cleared means nothing, its still a complete farce.

Edit, perhaps be funnier if a real bodybuilder challenged him to curls

in fact, ill challenge him to curls!

GAC · 27 Oct 2012 at 23:09

ahhh, just going off what one of the guys at the gym claimed, hence the dont qoute me

either way its a idiotic thing to do to your body with the side effects that can follow.

KiNgPiN83 · 27 Oct 2012 at 23:16

He needs to work on his forearms...

Skillmister · 27 Oct 2012 at 23:22

Whether he gets cleared or not, everyone with the slightest iota of bbing knowledge can tell it's totally fake.

Ultra_Extreme · 27 Oct 2012 at 23:22

No one is annoyed at him doing it (hell im the forums resident roider) im annoyed that he has the record, as was mentioned in an article i read the other day, the worlds fattest man would almost certainly have bigger arms since he weighs 1500lbs!

im annoyed that more medical professionals havent come out about it, i mean why the £$""$£ is he flying to japan to be cleared by the worlds least muscular race!! FFS

Ultra_Extreme · 27 Oct 2012 at 23:45

wow thats pretty interesting, i posted a pretty long and damning comment on the sun article, listed science and sources, biomechanics and credible evidence, and they seem to have taken it down. Tabloids lol

KiNgPiN83 · 28 Oct 2012 at 01:00

its one of the stupidest world records ive ever borne witness to

KiNgPiN83 · 28 Oct 2012 at 01:47

It's a pointless world record because a huge fat mess would beat him.

This tbh. Surely some of the monster heavyweight 500lb+ fat people will have bigger arms than that

Well I've spent the last week suffering from Sciatica again, along with tension in my right spinal erector.

Only thing that seems that could have hit it off was a bench I was on. It's really short and high up. So short that if my head is under the bar it would be off the bench. My legs also couldn't reach the floor. :/

That position had a lot of tension on my back, I was stupid in benching on it, even if it was only my warmup. Suffering now.

Then I'd ditch the bench press, it's an over-rated, crap exercise anyway. I haven't done flat barbell bench press for moons. Have you ever tried Gironda Dips?

Impossible due to a recent'ish chest injury.

The bench is the only chest exercise beside cable flyes I can do with my body.
