Brazilian stud Bruno Moraes Spinelli gets big :D

[burlemarx]

amazing what two years of training and steroids will do for you...

here's Bruno modeling in 2009.



and here's Bruno competing as a bodybuilder in 2011.



look at the shoulders... dead giveaway for steroid use. the hardcore guys always develop those rounded grapefruit shoulders. anyway, what a hot transformation

[Aronymous]

Ooh, that's some fine male flesh.

[collegebud]

I don't see anything wrong with those shoulders. But that's just me..

[msllover]

Damn! Go go Power Hunk....

[rocketdog]

Damn. That's hot. Wish there were more pictures of him now. Can't seem to find anything current.

[raven79]

I swear to Gawd that Brazil has the hottest men on Earth. That country has more hot men per square mile than anywhere else in the world. I am so jealous! (Sorry, I think they are so incredible!)

This guy always looks good even on roids! (I shouldn't condone that!)

[jmz1]

Sup Raven, I think the exact same thing! I see one guy like that and immediately think he must be from Brazil! haha! Let's move!

[diegodominica]

One of the morphers on this site morphed him a while back but this new photo makes him look even larger than in the morph.

One of the hottest men on the planet. Hope we see more current photos soon.

Yes, it's most likely that he has more than a few cycles in him since that first picture, but rounded shoulders are more likely a dead giveaway that he did side raises, front raises, and front raises with a barbell using correct form.

That being said, GREAT comparison! Hot mass gain!

pfft... don't be so naive (i wish i knew how to do an umlaut on a Mac but i'm too lazy to google it). (pause to reflect that typing out my thought process probably took more time than googling aforementioned umlaut.)

i've been doing side and front raises for 10 years with strict form (seated, scapular retraction, yadda yadda yadda) and never experienced any kind of Rounded Grapefruit development such as in Bruno's bodybuilding pic from this year. i started my first cycle this summer (oh yeah, pause to insert Standard Disclaimer: do not contact me for sources and etc.) and within the span of 2 months, i've already started developing Miniature Grapefruit Roundness. the proof is in the pudding! ...or in this case, the juice

i'm not passing judgment on him for being a user ('twould be pretty hypocritical for me to do so), i'm just saying that i personally have never seen such development on anyone who's truly natural, including my former self.

"The proof is in the juice" lol

Okay, since you kinda took on a dickish tone in your reply, let me just say that it's adorable when newbies like you think that when something happens to their bodies, it's solely because of taking steroids.

There are SO many other factors that come into play when someone starts training to compete. Steroids are just one small part of it. The recreational juicer has no idea.

[superkappa]

Some more pics of the same contest:








He's f..king hot.

[hshunk]

I love seeing guys get roided out and massive!

[chitownbber]

love that last pic of the posedown with the arm comparison going on. also surprised the word "bulge" hasnt entered the thread yet, so there you go. ive never met a single brazilian, male or female that wasnt so ridiculously sexy. that country just oozes sex. i am instantly aroused just being near a brazilian. in fact just typing this and thinking about the ones i know/have known has me all riled up. cold shower time.

oh and one other thought. "EFFIN TATS" .....sorry, i know many of you are into the ink and im ok with a few subtle ones but this guy is overdone and it really takes away from the grade A beef. its a shame

How one responds to training is genetic first, everything else is secondary. Genetics determine one's response to training, rest, diet, and yes, exogenous testosterone. There are guys who barely respond to anabolic steroids, just as there are guys who barely respond to weight training.

As someone who would like to see equal results for equal effort, I find that somewhat unfair, but nature is what it is. My point is that anabolic steroids are not a magic bullet for everyone. However, I'm glad you are responding to them. :-)

Right. My guess is that he got them before he even realized he had a gift and thought about competing. They seriously distract from the look of a bodybuilder, especially when on stage. However, on some people the right tattoo can be very hot - to me anyway.

He has an amazing body. Sigh...

[Speaker]

This guy's probably one of the hottest men I've seen in a while. And actually, tattoos normally bother me but on him they don't. I'm not really sure why, maybe the good just overwhelms the bad

[anpuZA]

I'll be the guy in the canoe going at 100 knots from the Cape to Rio.

hi, Chris,

i apologize if my "pfft" was rude. i use it in everyday speak on gchat and etc, and nobody has ever said that i was being "dickish" through its use. anyway, we're both on the same side here so let's put that behind us and be friends, ok?

i am indeed aware of all the other shit that goes into the pro bodybuilder look. i'm friends with a bunch of them on facebook (Antoine Vaillant, Brad Rowe, Rob Kreider [who's from my hometown, yay!] and a few less popular others) and occasionally they hint at some of their crazy "supplement" routines that are probably worse for you than actual steroids. i know that spot-injecting various synthol-ish shit is All The Rage right now, and there's probably other, more insidious things that i dont know about. i never said i was an expert on the subject.

what i AM saying is that, in general, steroids seem to cause the Rounded Grapefruit Shoulder look to develop rapidly/more intensely/more biggerishly/insert your adverb-of-choice. yes, genetics play a huge part, and yes, there's All Those Other Scary Things going on behind the scenes on the pro bodybuilder circuit. but i dont think i'm remiss in saying that a man's shoulders GENERALLY tend to inflate like little balloons when he goes from natural to juiced. i don't think it's naive of me to assert that. as mentioned previously, i'm experiencing my own little Grapefruit Shoulder Inflation, and the only thing i changed up in my routine was adding gear to the mix two months ago.

anyway, that's just my opinion. by no means is it the opinion of a seasoned bodybuilder veteran. perhaps i will insert said disclaimer into my posts from now on ^_^

[raven79]

I was about to say that he would have trouble winning in the US because of his numerous tatts. The fact is Bruno is tremendously hot when he poses and has an incredible smile. Wow, his upper body is gorgeous and so perfectly vascular too. Look at those arms! Gawd, the veins make me crazy!

[burlemarx]

i watched that video on Bruno's youtube channel and was frustrated that the best footage was sideways for some reason. so, i took a couple of screen captures and set them right.





he looks even bigger in these! yum sorry that they're so pixilated. also, sorry that i'm inserting thumbnailed links instead of full-size pics. for some reason the fullsize pics seem to crash my server every time i try to insert them :\

[raven79]

Geez, his arms are so big and beautiful! Actually, his entire body is beautiful! I need to visit Brazil soon!

Hey, thanks a lot, Burlemarx, for bringing that up! I always wondered why it seemed like some fairly small boned people, like Bruno the Brazilian model turned bodybuilder in this thread were able to build such e-NORMOUS, meaty shoulders! I know all the shoulder presses, lateral and rear delt raises I'm doing weren't making MY shoulders look like that!

It's naive of me, I know, but knowing that that specific extreme muscular development is the result of chemical enhancement makes me feel better. I know I won't get that look exactly, because I never intend to do steroids. I do know, however, that I can improve what I have.

As I'm sure many of us on here can attest, extreme, rapid muscular development in an extremely short time can be inspiring and also very disheartening at the same time!


Thank you, Burlemarx, for that perspective!

that was kind of my point in commenting about Bruno's (very very likely) use of pharmaceutical enhancement. it's so unlikely that anyone truly "natural" would show that kind of development in just two years. it's hot of course, but it's also understandably infuriating and provokes envy and questions of how he dunnit.

for many years, i was on the other side of the fence looking in at guys like Bruno and saying "why cant i do that?" that Chris87 guy is right in the sense that steroids arent a magic bullet for amazing growth; but on the flipside, clearly steroids DO work for most people to some degree or other -- if they didn't, nobody would be using them in the first place. i could be wrong, but really i have no doubt in my mind that Bruno is not natural.

moving to Miami from DC four years ago definitely changed my attitude about gear. everyone -- EVERYONE -- here is jacked up on roids, versus in DC, where the aesthetic for gay males to aspire to is a much smaller and skinnier avatar. here in Miami, you can only live and breathe around these supernatural monsters for so long before feeling like the smallest guy in the gym starts driving you crazy, and you do whatever it takes to not feel that way any more.

[muscl4life]

Quick update for you guys: Mr. "Spinelli" (he dropped this name because of a certain video...) has won his category (under 90 kg) at IFBB's Mr. Rio 2012 and is going to compete at Mr. Brazil's tomorrow.

I have been there, and he clearly looked much better than the other competitors.

The over 90 kg (200 pounds) category was won by Victor Luna (now...that's a name you should google for, nuf said)

Actually, Burle, the synthol-ish shit is MUCH more likely to be the cause of sudden-onset spherical deltoid syndrome.

The one (sneer quotes ahead) "good" thing about synthol is that it can stretch the muscle fascia (the connective tissue sheath) so that muscle growth can happen more easily as the body gets rid of the nasty, allegedy biological inert, oil.

boo.. i tried to type "k" and got an error message saying my reply was too short by 9 characters

[burlemarx]

also, Brazil seems to be Ground Zero for synthol use so perhaps our dear Bruno is indeed on the "oil" as well as the "juice"

[burlemarx]

why nobody revive dis thread? i haz a sad

[burlemarx]

i shall revive it! so that i haz a happy

[burlemarx]

and then dis for teh Garrix, so that teh Garrix haz a happy





GROWTH Garrix. GROWTH....

[raven79]
