It's no surprise Moustafa Ismail’s biceps have just been crowned the world’s biggest. With a circumference of 79cm (31in), the bodybuilder’s muscles are the size of many men’s waists.

But while he may look like a real-life Popeye, unlike the cartoon character he hates spinach.
Big Mo, as he is known, has pumped iron twice a day for the past ten years to get his muscular look.
‘People always say you remind me of Popeye the sailor man. This makes me laugh,’ said the 24-year-old.

‘The truth is I don’t have spinach in my diet. I can’t stand the stuff.’
He added: ‘Actually, I think my arms are now bigger than those of the cartoon character.”
Mr Ismail’s daily diet involves 1.4kg (3lb) of chicken, 500g of steak or fish, four cups of almonds washed down with nine litres of water, and three litres of protein shakes.
He moved to Massachusetts from his native Egypt five years ago after failed to get a place in the national bodybuilding team.
‘Working out makes my mood better. And I like that in this type of sport you can see your improvement,’ said Mr Ismail, who features in the new edition of Guinness World Records.

That was my first thought, there's a video on youtube of some guy doing that...you only have to look at his forearms (and no veins as you point out) to see that isn't just from weight lifting.

[Oswald2001]

I don't think it's possible to build muscles like that in such an isolated fashion.

I think he's using injections.

[MCBR]

It's synthol.

[JumboSausage]

He's defo being injecting something into those. No way would his triceps be that big! He'd also have way bigger fore arms.

It looks fucking stupid whatever he's done

[DiamondSmiles]

Steroids! Nasty!

Make sure we see the video when he explodes like the other two guys!

[Brometheus]
