He’s Popeye the Failure Man.

A bodybuilder who injected petroleum jelly into his biceps to make them freakishly large — getting him nicknamed the “Russian Popeye” — may now lose both arms because of a severe infection, according to reports.

Kirill Tereshin, 29, has been told he may need a double amputation after years of injecting them with synthol, according to reports in his native Russia on Sunday.

The freakish-looking gymgoer shared stomach-churning footage of how his bicep had “burst,” leaving a large hole with rotting tissue underneath.
