The video is not fake, but the muscles are even more so.
There he is, the young man, with his bizarre giant muscles. At first glance it looks like it's fake, but unfortunately it's not.
Even though the video and the appearance of the “muscles” are probably real, it should be said that the “muscles” here are in a sense “fake”. From a purely visual perspective, the “muscles” are built up and toned, but only thanks to an additive.
By the way, this man is no stranger… he tells a little (in Russian). He greets his friends, wishes that everyone would train their biceps like he did (oh) and talks about how only those who train their biceps can beat the enemy.
The name of the performer in the video is Kirill Tereshin. He is referred to as a “Synthol Freak” on several websites .
By the way, synthol is an additive that is used to fake muscles. This product consists largely of MCT oil (a good 85%), which is equivalent to oil/fat or saturated fatty acids, which are part of coconut oil, for example. Other ingredients include anesthetics, which are also used by doctors for local anesthesia, and benzyl alcohol, which only serves as a preservative.
With such a substance you inject the fat where you actually want “muscles”. It must also be said that this procedure is very painful and the connective tissue (skin) becomes cracked.
Kirill Tereshin
Tereshin is an interesting character in a certain sense. You can find bizarre videos and photos of him on his YouTube channel
Of course, Tereshin is also a target for the tabloid media; he appears again and again because of his pumped-up upper arms. Most recently he made headlines in the tabloids because he allegedly wanted to transform himself into a woman. By the way, the source for this information is the Daily Mail. Well, whether it's all right in the end...
Summarized:
You inject grease and chemicals under your skin, which is usually quite painful. All just to achieve a questionable Hulk look? Especially just in the upper arms? We believe that this should not be a reason for this “product” to get under your skin.
