Meet the real-life Popeye! (amazing pics+vid)

He can hold one basketball in each hand

Newsroom August 7 05:21

His name is Jeff Dabe, he is 52 years old and lives in Minnesota with his wife (no her name is not Olive…) Gina. His huge hands and massive 49 centimetre in circumference forearms cannot go unnoticed when meeting him. He is a real life Popeye! He travels the US taking part in arm-wrestling competitions and his big arms and hands size gives him a distinct advantage over other competitors. After having been subjected to numerous medical tests to determine if he suffered from gigantism or elephantiasis, the University of Minnesota concluded that his monster-sized arms are natural.
