Ex soldier shows off Popeye muscles

A former soldier who has injected oil into his arms so he can look like Popeye is seen dancing, posing and shadowboxing in a bizarre video - despite medics warning he could end up paralysed.

Russian Kirill Tereshin, 21, has become famous around the world for his 24 inch biceps, but experts are appalled by the risks he's taking.

The bodybuilder has been using site enhancement oil, commonly known as synthol.

He added 10 inches to his biceps in the space of just 10 days after leaving the army in the summer.

Tereshin is seen proudly showing off his arms in the clip.

The video, taken in the city of Pyatigorsk in south western Russia, lifting his frame on bars in an outdoor exercise area.
