TONY Geraldo, 52, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has gigantic 28" biceps - earning him the nickname âHulkâ. But Tonyâs extraordinary arms do not come from hitting the gym, but from synthol - a type of oil injected into the muscle to enlarge their volume. He said: âI used to be really skinny, I weighed 49kg (108lbs) and didnât even feel like going to the beach and taking my top off.â Determined to have a more muscular physique, Tony turned to synthol, injecting 3ml nine times a day, directly into his arms. Doctors say that such procedures can permanently damage the muscle, causing necrosis of the tissue. Tony also believes the weight of his supersized muscles have contributed to his current back problems - but says he still loves his cartoonishly oversized look. However, his wife Marimilia is not a fan. She said: âHis arms are too hard, they feel like they are going to explode. He used to have a beautiful body. He wasnât very muscular but I really liked his body when I met him. I have always been against him applying the injections.â But despite his wifeâs objections, and the health ramifications, Tony is adamant that he has no regrets. He said: âI donât regret using the substance, it gave me what I wanted. I donât regret anything, my body is my temple.â
