Bodybuilding is a discipline that demands dedication, hard work, and a relentless pursuit of physical excellence. Athletes in this field strive to build impressive physiques through rigorous training, nutrition, and supplementation. While many bodybuilders achieve remarkable results through these means, there is a controversial substance that has gained notoriety within the bodybuilding community: Synthol.

Kirill Tereshin, famously known as “Popeye” or the “Synthol Kid,” rose to fame due to his extreme approach to body modification. Despite facing widespread criticism and the well-known health risks associated with Synthol usage, Tereshin has chosen to proudly embrace his unconventional path, resulting in a distorted muscular appearance.
