Moustafa Ismail insists his 31 inch biceps are real and he’s never used synthol…

…and we don’t believe him. Moustafa Ismail made headlines recently, entering the Guinness book of world records for having the biggest biceps in the world but some people cried foul insisting that he used the synthetic oil synthol, and now the body builder has come out defending himself.

Moustafa insists his biceps are all-natural and are the result of a punishing workout regimen he started after a guest at his uncle’s wedding in his native Egypt mocked his overweight frame.

‘They call me Popeye, the Egyptian Popeye,’ Ismail, 24, said while working out in the Boston suburb of Milford. But unlike the cartoon character, ‘I like chicken, beef, anything but spinach.’

Some of his fellow bodybuilders at his gym, even came to his defence, saying that his arms are natural.

‘When I first saw him I thought “Oh my God, he’s a freak” — the big Popeye arms, he’s incredible, but he works out hard, so good luck to him,’ said Janice Vincuilla.

According to reports, Ismail has lifted as much as 600 pounds but said he doesn’t typically focus on how much weight he is hoisting.

“It’s not about me lifting heavy weights,” he said. “It’s about me making the right techniques, even with the light weights, but getting good results out of that.”

Sir…that makes no sense….
