Can a bodybuilder be a gymnast?

Terrible form and for all I know he didn't hold it, but I like this photo. 

He's been working with the Strength Project guys for the last year or so, so I'm sure he can hold it.  

he looks like a giant bear

Aesthetic or not, that is an insane physique...

Not really my thing, but impressive from a big guy just to get up there.

Anyone have his height/weight?

He's called Kali Muscle and he can hold the human flag and also do MUs on a bar. I'm pretty sure his physique is enhanced with steroids though.

You mean you are absolutely sure his physique is enhanced with steroids, right?

No prizes for that guess

Is that a give away? I have no idea but what would be the best (large/ huge) non steroid body one could build that would not be such a give away? (pictures?)

Kali muscle says he is natural and is only this big because he eats lots of tuna. Hence there is absolutely no chance he is juicing.

Oh wow, sounds legit. Will immediately begin hoarding tuna.

But can he know for sure that the tuna he eats is not on steroids?

Signs point to noooooo...

I mean ok, fair play to him, he's clearly put in a load of work to build a huge physique. Steroids gave him an edge but they didn't do the work for him, and that is many years of hard work right there. That's a big achievement, no question.

But bodybuilding and that kind of size pursuit is just not my thing, so it's hard for me to be impressed beyond 'Hey, it's nice to see a big guy who isn't 100% muscle bound.'

Not sure about height, but he's 260 lbs.

Look at guys like John Grimek or Eugene Sandow.  They did their training back in the days before steroids were invented, so that should give you a pretty good idea.  Obviously I'm not discrediting modern training techniques (I don't think either of those guys even bench pressed) but there's a noticeable difference in their type of physique compared to that above. 

Kali Muscle, he's the guy in the Geico commercial where they say "happier than a bodybuilder directing traffic".

He also has a video on youtube doing muscleups, where it cuts out halfway through but he insists they were non-stop reps 

Impressive for his size though

See what am sayin'?
