Moustafa Ismail (born 1988) is an Egyptian bodybuilder, who once held the Guinness World Record in 2012 for the largest upper arm circumference in the world. He has been accused of Synthol use, which he has denied but has shown no evidence proving either way. The Guinness World Records states that there was no medical evidence to support any claim that Mr. Ismail used Synthol (however didn't do any tests), but now has taken the decision to no longer accept claims for largest upper arm circumference on the grounds that there are too many evidentiary variables to ensure a declarative benchmark that is firmly beyond dispute.[1][2][3][4]
Muscle & Fitness' Editor-in-Chief Shawn Perine challenged Mr. Ismail $1000 for his troubles to have a medical evaluation and donate $1000 to the charity of his choice, if he is clear of Synthol.[5]
