[Merged]The real-life Popeye and his 31 inch biceps

[Still Waters]

An Egyptian-born bodybuilder has just had his 31 inch biceps crowned the biggest in the world.

Moustafa Ismail, 24, has spent ten years pumping iron twice a day and his upper arms now have the same circumference as a grown man’s waist.

But despite his cartoon proportions he hates spinach.

Moustafa Steroid Addiction.. in my opinion.

That just doesn't look right. I imagine his shirts fit awkwardly too...

:/ Really muscular men are very unattractive, but this guy is just freaky.

He looks more like Bluto:

That just looks weird.

[hetrodoxly]

Umm, very strange shape you'd also expect to see a peak (rounded area) on his biceps being that large. even stranger he has quiet puny forearms in comparison.

Right!!! Popeye was more famous for his forearms!!

Huh. It doesn't look good in the least...its actually slightly disturbing.

[Simbi Laveau]

That is bizarrely unnatural ....like he isolated just the bi and the tri cepts. It looks like implants . I'm not saying it is implants ,but how can you excersize just those two muscles ,to the point of huge,and the majority of the other arm muscles ,are untouched ?

The forearms support part of the weights used too . It's just weird .

[schizoidwoman]

That looks horrible!

Everyone commenting on DM is saying he's injected synthol into his arms, so you are probably right. It doesn't look natural at all.

Doesn't look natural? Can remember seeing a guy who just had the one muscular forearm and hand, while the rest of him was a bag of bones. Selling matches & shoe-laces on Sauchiehall Street, he was.

(lol)

looks like cancer

I have to agree , out of proportion I would call it ....

Don't tell Popeye. It turns out you don't need to eat your spinach to get the world's biggest arms.

Bodybuilder Moustafa Ismail eats three kilograms of protein and four kilograms of carbohydrates and drinks 11 litres of water each day to help maintain upper arms that measure 31 inches around — as big as a small man's waist.

Skeptics say there must also be steroids or some other artificial means behind Ismail's beyond-bulging biceps and triceps, and Guinness World Records is waffling on whether to recognize him.

But he insists they are all-natural, the result of a punishing workout regimen he started after a guest at his uncle's wedding in his native Egypt mocked his overweight frame.

That's a bit too much.

[little_dreamer]

It's a bit too much. Not very sexy to me, but it's his body and his choice.

[K_Bonita]

Saw that on the new's last night...and wow that's just too much it was gross it just doesn't look natural.

[coldethyl]

If you can't reach your own ****, your arms are too big.
