Meet the Man from Brazil Who Injected Oil Into His Biceps Inorder to Look Like Incredible Hulk

Romario Dos Santos Alves, 25 years old and father of one wanted to look like the real version of Superhero or Incredible hulk, only for his desires to turn into a nightmare. He risked his life by injecting oil and alcohol into his arms and almost got them amputated. He now faces a catalogue of serious health issues. The former bodyguard revealed that he almost killed himself when his wife was six months pregnant and that his swollen muscles terrifies children in his hometown of Caldas Novas in Brazil and they call him a ''Beast'' and a ''monster''.
'If you take it once there will definitely be a second time - it's addictive. I remember the doctor told me that they would need to amputate both arms - they said everything in there, all my muscles, were rock. I want other people to see the dangers, I could have died all because I wanted bigger muscles. It's just not worth it.' He said.

He even tricked his wife Marisangela Marinho, 22, into injecting him with the oil in places that he could not reach. 'I told her there was no problem with it - that it left the body after a short time. But after she learned the truth she made it clear that he had to choose between their relationship and the synthol.

''She told me that if I start using synthol again or anything like it she will leave me because of what she went through,' he said. 'That was the hardest part of our life because I had depression and I was removed from my job because I tried to kill myself.''

Soon the filler began causing him constant pain and he almost suffered kidney failure due to the toxins in the oil.

He was told by a doctor that his only course of action would be to have one of his arms amputated.

''My wife was crying when I left at 5am to go to the hospital for the procedure,' he added. I remember the doctor told me that they would need to amputate both arms. They said everything in there, all my muscles, were rock. It was either that or cut all of my muscles out. And then thank God the doctor told me that they did not have to amputate - they could instead remove the synthol rocks which had formed in my arms.''

Apart from the fact that people call him a beast or a monster, he also receives praise and adulation for his incredible physique - which made it even harder for him to kick the addiction.

''One time when I was working as a bodyguard in a party the girls started to get wasted and were trying to take my shirt off to see my body,''' he said.

'Sometimes kids will come up to me and say that I look like the Incredible Hulk and hug me and have their photo taken with me. I really like that as I modelled my body on the Incredible Hulk.''

He has not used the substance for two years but other muscle enhancing drugs still tempt him from time to time.
''I still feel like taking synthol but I won't take it again. If you take it once there will definitely be a second time - it's addictive. I regret it a lot - my ambition is still to become a bodybuilder but I've got a long way to go. I know I will achieve it though.'' he said
