What Crazy Things Did An Indian Bodybuilder Eat Thinking It Would Make Him Bigger?

Bodybuilders are always looking for gains. How can they make themselves bigger and stronger? They'll put strange chemicals and supplements into their body in hopes of bulking up. However, sometimes it doesn't go as planned. What crazy things did an Indian bodybuilder eat thinking it would make him bigger?

You're not supposed to do this. However, I understand the thought. Let's look at where things went wrong.

Zinc has many benefits. It helps your immune system and metabolism function. However, it won't do much to make you a better body builder. Especially if you're going about consuming it the way this guy did.

According to The New York Post, doctors at a New Delhi hospital removed 39 coins and 37 magnets from a man's intestine because he believed that "zinc helps in bodybuilding."

Man, this is just...something. Really? You're going to eat coins because you think the zinc will help your bodybuilding career? First, not what zinc primarily does for the body! Second, don't eat coins! So many problems can arise. It's a terrible decision. A terribly dumb decision.

Looking at X-rays, you can see massive metal clots forming in his intestines after he spent weeks ingesting the coins, per the ANI news wire. He made the mistake of believing that the zinc in the coins he ate would be absorbed into his body. Well, that's not what happened!

According to The New York Post, the man, who hasn't been identified, had been complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting that had gone on for more than 20 days. The Post says the coins and magnets had caused intestinal obstruction in his body, prompting an immediate surgical procedure to get the metals out of his body.

Sure, zinc has some benefits. However, ingesting them that way can result in zinc toxicity, according to Poison Control. So, don't do that. Please.

I'm just picturing Chuck with his metal detector going over this guy's body like, "yeah, there's a lot in there." Lots of treasures to behold inside this man's body.

You can read up on what some of the actual benefits of zinc are below.

The 80s were a time to remember. You had rock gods, Hollywood superstars, and mesmerizing athletes. Here is Chuck The Freak's list of 8 unlikely 80s icons.

Not every 80s icon was one you'd expect. This group of people are the unsung heroes. Ones that the everyday Joe can relate to.

Chuck The Freak's list is different than most lists featuring 80s icons. Personally, I find it more relatable. There are tons of obvious heroes and icons of the 80s. However, the unlikely 80s icons don't receive as much love. They deserve recognition.

In this list, we'll introduce you, or probably re-introduce you, to some of the finest folks the 80s had to offer. You'll likely remember some of these familiar characters. If not, we're happy to introduce you to them for the first time!

Now, these individuals are all icons for their own unique reasons. Some, are relatable every day Joe's who we can see ourselves in. Others, are pure testosterone driven Alpha Males. Then, you'll find everywhere in between as well.

There are characters from classic movies and cult favorites. Even a couple of singers made the list. It's funny, the 80s were a vastly different time. Some of the people on the list are still famous today, but they aren't nearly the same type of person or level they were in the 80s.

The younger generation may see some of these names and be totally confused. "How was that guy an icon?" Well, times were different. Our superstars weren't the same back then.

You ready to check out the list? Chuck The Freak provided the examples and quotes. Then, I filled in the rest with some commentary on his choices. Can you think of any unlikely 80s icons before we get to the list? Take a second. Think about it. Ready? Let's get to the list!

"Part of my inspiration to pick up and play the sax."

Remember this guy? He definitely was an 80s icon. The sax? Check. The hair? Check. The muscles? Oh, definitely check. We salute you, Saxophone Guy!

"Unfortunately, it became my nickname for a while."

Chunk The Freak? It does have a ring to it. Chunk was the greatest character in the movie. There's no debate to it. Even in 2024, the Truffle Shuffle lives on in infamy.

"Became my model for how to be an older brother. He was the worst older brother ever!"

Chet was certainly an example of the worst older brother ever. However, he's also an example of what goes around comes around. He was a jerk and a bully. What happens to bullies? They get turned into a pile of poop. Remember that, kids.

"Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Say Anything...all movies that had a major impact on my life."

Chuck isn't alone there! Those were some of the best movies from the decade. Man, Cusack was everywhere back in the 80s! Now, he's known by the younger generation as the guy from Hot Tub Time Machine. Man, I miss the 80s.

"Amazing!"

I was hoping for a little more insight there, Chuck. However, this will do. I mean, really, what more can you say? That movie was amazing. He was amazing in it. Everything about Schwazenegger in Comando was amazing.

"The little-known OTHER airplane movie. I wanted to be a fighter pilot as a kid because of this movie and Top Gun."

Well, things don't always end up going as planned. Seriously, can you picture Chuck as a fighter pilot? That would be amazing. Please make sure there's a camera in the cockpit. This movie screams 80s!

"River Phoenix as a computer nerd who builds a space ship."

Even the description of the movie sounds so 80s. You don't get movies like that any more. He pulled it off! What a talented family. It's wild. It wasn't a success in the box office, but lives as a cult favorite.

"Mostly for his choice of pants."

Those were some tight pants. I mean that in both ways. Bowie was iconic in this role. He was great as Jareth The Goblin King! It lives on as one of the most iconic roles from the 80s. Rest In Peace!
