In Ribeirao Preto, a Brazilian bodybuilder and TikTok celebrity who acquired 1.6 million followers by injecting himself with life-threatening oil to achieve 23-inch biceps died on his 55th birthday.
Segato, who is originally from Sao Paulo, previously stated that he was inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s physique and mythical figures such as The Hulk and that he was pleased to be known on the streets as ‘the monster.’
Six years ago, he was advised that if he continued to take the injections to build himself up, he would suffer amputation or, at the absolute least, nerve damage and muscular deformation. But Segato, a former construction worker, said he enjoyed the attention and wanted to become even bigger.
Valdir Segato has been using Synthol injections to build enormous biceps, pectorals, and back muscles for years, despite the danger of strokes and infections.
As a child, he was an incredibly anorexic heroin user who had lost so much weight that he was nicknamed ‘Skinny Dog.’
Previously, he remarked, ‘I became involved with drugs and I started losing weight because if you don’t eat, you live a bad life.’ Segato abandoned narcotics and joined a gym, but he desired more intense consequences than exercise alone could provide.
Someone at the gym introduced him Synthol, and because he had an addictive mentality, he quickly became addicted to the muscle-building chemical.
Many bodybuilders use Synthol to avoid the long list of adverse effects associated with anabolic steroids, but the oil also has significant hazards.
‘The negative effects of Synthol are many, and they can possibly cause death,’ according to Europe PubMed Central.
