I thought he got a donor one.

My guess is he has been a champ and continued to juice after he got his new kidney and given that it has been so long without issues, he had decided to get back in the game.

I mean, it's probably just a grab for promotional money - but the fake arms thing is very confusing.

He and Stan Efferding have some kind of business relationship offering a handful of products and services.

Stan invented a gym/workout cooler, and both men offer training and nutrition consultations. I believe they've got a clothing line, too.

bodybuilders only have two ways to promote themselves these days:

1. they announce a comeback, assuming they had a career to begin with

or

2. they threaten to fight someone over youtube

He sees the attention Levrone got through social media during his comeback attempt, and now he wants a piece of the action.   When these former bodybuilders retire and become shells of their former powerful and muscular selves, their self esteem is practically destroyed.  Trying to remain relevant through the use of social media is all they really have to toot their own horn nowadays.   A mid-life crisis of sorts.

He retired due to kidney problems.... he should stay as far away from competitive bodybuilding as possible


Also, his body is literally covered with Tatoos. That is not a good look for a bodybuilder. Flex & Lee Priest took the tatoo thing way too far

All of what you listed ended up making him one of the most aesthetic bodybuilders of all time. Chris Cormier was actually more symmetrical and aesthetic.

But, take a look at these, especially compared to Paul Dillett.

This has nothing to do with risking his life, for me.  That is his business.

Maybe you're not the only one but this is someone who clearly has synthol or some shit in his arms and who would be exposing bodybuilding to an absolute farcical situation where the judges either pretend it isn't there or place him dead last.

It's just a mess.  He should be done - he should not be stepping on stage, again.

If he can remove the shit, maybe - but who knows what damage will be there?
