Cited:

'Bodybuilders in Brazil are risking death by injecting themselves with a potentially lethal cocktail of oil and alcohol to pump up their muscles.

Arlindo de Souza has grown 29in biceps - the biggest in Brazil - after injecting the filler into his body, where it causes appearance of swollen muscles.

But even he admits it can cause dangerous infections. Some users have had their arms amputated. Others have died.'

Cited:

'The oil concoction Mr de Souza injected is believed to contain mostly mineral oil, which is similar to baby oil but unscented, and smaller amounts of alcohol and anaesthetic.'

Initial impressions of this gentleman is that unlike many 'roiders', and I am not stating whether or not he has used steroids, he seems like a 'nice guy' and not an egotistical maniac.

However, obviously his self-treatment is very risky and dangerous, as Doctors contacted for the story stated 'Brazil Doctors won't operate because 'he did it to himself''

From my somewhat biased but enlightened view, based on my background, this gentleman immediately reminds me of two people.

One, is the legendary now 'retired' bodybuilder, Bobby Buff.

The main comical character on this blog, perhaps?

Except Mr. Buff was entirely natural as Crisco is not considered a muscle building substance.

However, as he used Crisco to give his shirtless muscled look more shine, glitter and pomp, he is now forever considered...

'The most beautiful man in East Maple Ridge', rivalled only my his cousin, 'Cousin Buff', that is 'The second most beautiful man in East Maple Ridge'.

East Maple Ridge of course very well-known world-wide, especially by Europeans and Americans, and of course Canadians as the rural part of Maple Ridge, rivalled by North Maple Ridge and of course 'Downtown'.

Maple Ridge of course also famous for tall trees, the weekend marijuana smell, the 'booming' economy and vast variety of shopping led by the new 'Target' store.

Target replacing the Canadian classic 'Zellers' which is the cheaper version of 'The Bay'.

Maple Ridge, a Christian hub of megachurches...

Two, the oil angle of the feature reminds me of a Norwegian Secondary School friend, now living back in Norway that at that time had a hairstyle that I reasoned was styled with 'motor oil'. 

Perhaps in light of the Brazil story, my Norwegian friend was on to something?
