James Conner’s back muscles are so big they don’t look real

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is living up to his nickname, “The Terminator,” in a big way. Conner’s back muscles appear to be as impressive as those of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Conner posted images to his Instagram story on Wednesday that showed just how jacked he is these days. And let me tell you: this dude is ripped. He is, in fact, so large that it doesn’t actually seem real. The scale of his muscles seems like an optical illusion. Maybe his back muscles are this big, but I’m genuinely having trouble wrapping my head around this photo being real.

Here’s a look at what he shared:

For a frame of reference, here’s a look at his back from another angle (below). This looks (a bit) more normal. Obvious, he’s jacked. But he’s not suddenly bigger than Marvel superheroes.

So, what do you think? Is that first image of his back real? Or did he somehow tinker with it to make him look bigger?
