A 21-year-old Russian man is bragging about the size of his arms despite the fact that the rest of his body is unable to keep up with it.

Kirill Tereshin is proud of what some people fear could lead to pose serious medical consequences to him, after he injected his arms with liters of synthetic oil known as “synthol”.

According to odditycentral.com, the young man wanted to build his body, but chose a rather lazy way to achieve his aim.

The news portal reports that Kirill Tereshin injected 250 ml of synthol into his arms, but that only made his muscles grow by 1 inch. He wasn’t too happy with that, so now he claims to inject liters of the stuff to keep his arms looking massive.

While some express fears that the young man may be prone to some life-threatening conditions subsequent to this, he seems to have no problem. He said “In order to reach such a size, you need to inject litres into your arms. ‘I was doing it and getting a fever of up to 40 degrees, I was lying in bed, feeling like I was dying, but then it all turned out fine.”
