Russian Popeye Who Injected Oil Into His Biceps ‘Faces Amputation’
The Russian synthol freak who was nicknamed ‘Popeye’ after injecting his arms with oil to give himself comically huge biceps has been told he is at risk of amputation after being given bad news about the health of one of his arms.
Kirill Tereshin, 29, AKA Bazooka Arms, injected three litres of petroleum jelly into his arms back in 2017, which not only made him look completely ridiculous but also blocked blood flow to his arms and killed some of his tissue. Surgeons have already had to remove 3lbs of rotted muscle from his arms to prevent them being amputated previously…
It looks like things have gone from bad to worse though, as Russian publication LIFE RU is reporting that Tereshin is now at serious risk of losing at least one of his arms, with an operation apparently impossible due to “extremely poor test results”.
He’s already had a load of liquid drained from his arm this year, but has been told the condition of this arm will need to stabilize his before he can undergo the numerous surgical procedures needed to save his limb.
He’ll need a vascular surgeon, a plastic surgeon, and a reconstructive surgeon, to save his arm, but time is not on his side…
Kirill has previously confessed his motivation for getting bigger arms was to attract ‘beautiful’ women, as it was ‘impossible for an ordinary guy to date such girls’. He also spent $15,000 on synthol injections for his face, which he also regrets because he ended up looking like this:
Nowadays, he keeps it (relatively) simple with lip and cheek fillers:
Even as far back as 2018, Russian doctor Evgeny Lilin warned that Tereshin risks amputation in the future, as well as other serious health implications.
She said: “Not immediately, but he very likely faces amputation in the future. One day, abscesses will develop, then inflammation, and he (will be at risk of) a stroke.”
Kirill has been sharing videos on social media explaining how his obsession with artificially inflating his arms began:
“First of all I began to inject vegetable oil, I boiled it in a saucepan and then injected five millilitres every day.
“But I began to understand that oil was leaving the muscle after two weeks. As a result I came to Vaseline oil, as a result in half a year I made huge gains for myself.”
Somehow, I don’t think it was worth it. I mean, Jesus Christ, buddy, ever heard of a gym membership? Kirill also seemed to think that having ridiculously big biceps would turn him into a tough guy overnight. Instead he got spanked in his first MMA fight and also had his head slapped off in the Russian slap championships. See for yourself:
In the end, I don’t think the synthetic Popeye arms helped much in regards to wooing beautiful women or competing in combat sports. But then anyone with a brain could’ve predicted that before he risked his life and limbs for instant gains.
If you’re looking to get in shape, why not follow Brad Pitt’s workout routine that got him so ripped for ‘Fight Club’. Better than going through what Kirill’s going through.
