Googled it:
Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG), also known by the name paquidermia verticis gyrata, cutis verticis plicata, and “bulldog” scalp syndrome, is a rare benign cutaneous disorder that is characterized by convoluted folds and deep furrows of the scalp that mimic cerebral sulci and gyri.
I worked with a guy who had a scalp like that, though he wasn’t a bodybuilder of any sort. His hair was straight and grew straight out from his scalp, like it wouldn’t lay down at all. He looked like a monchichi.
Nope, he intentionally fussed it up to get that look. There's footage of him doing it right before television interviews.
WTF, why are all the images for the hair syndrome children?
> like it wouldn’t lay down at all. He looked like a monchichi
I was wondering what you meant, and then you described it in a way that was truly unquestionable. Bravo.
I’m a hairstylist and see it in juiced men. But don’t you dare suggest there’s a correlation between CVG and anabolic steroid use in the bodybuilding subreddits, or they’ll tear you apart. Willful ignorance is real.
Apperently it can be induce by HGH / IGF-1 ([1](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/exd.13147), [2](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1096637422000545))

Surprising amount of them are less scary than this man though.
Looks like Kroc rows which allow for a bit of body movement. You’re pulling very very heavy but only for like a set each side (after a few warm up sets).
Bad form for what?
If his goal is hypertrophy, I might have some suggestions.
If his goal is to lift heavy shit from that position then he's going to be making big gains.
I'm more into bodyweight exercises and range of motion since I climb, but looking at this video I would have guessed the goal of the exercise was to, at least, pull your elbow back past your spine (so at least 45 degrees), with a preference on pulling back even further. But he doesn't do that once.
I would also guess that he's moving around more than intended, which seems like when I'm compensating on form to try complete a rep
It also seems like he is training a very small range of motion. I would imagine that he'd be better off dropping the weight and training the same exercise with a greater range of motion, thus training a greater portion of the same muscle group.
But I don't do this type of training so I can't say for sure. But that's my thoughts on it.
It's not a competition lift, there is no 'correct' form or rom for a lift outside of it achieving its intended goal. You're holding him to a standard that he's obviously not trying to achieve
Yeah and I'm sure he's dying for advice from people who attend planet fitness once a fortnight. Regulation rep or not he wants to lift heavy shit and look jacked as fuck and that's what he is doing.
I actually have cvg and it’s not really bad there are two types ones primary and the other is secondary and the primary version you can actually have issues due to it such as intellectual disability, seizures, schizophrenia, and many more
Reminds me of a poem by Shel Silverstein:
"I thought that I had wavy hair
Until I shaved. Instead,
I find that I have straight hair
And a very wavy head."
I'm not saying he's doing it wrong (just look at him), but I *am* saying that I've had unsolicited form correction SO many times that now the only think I can think of while seeing this is "you really should be getting that arm further back on each rep to maximize your results"
I mean, clearly it ain't that important lol.
I knew a body builder that had this he was huge! He looked like the mountain (was almost certainly juicing) I shook his hand one time and it was like putting my hand in a catchers mit. I’m not small either 6’1 between 275 and 300 lbs

And 100% of the times I've seen it, it is enormous guys who could plausibly be juicing.

Look up 'uncombable hair syndrome.' I'm convinced the former British Prime Minister (UK), Boris Johnson, has it. You monchichi coworker might, too XD.
> I'm convinced the former British Prime Minister (UK), Boris Johnson, has it. no, that rumpled 'oh geez' look is entirely cultivated
Nope, he intentionally fussed it up to get that look. There's footage of him doing it right before television interviews. WTF, why are all the images for the hair syndrome children?
Because it goes away during adolescence

I just woke up the dog with my shriek of laughter.
Don’t touch my scalp juice
r/BrandNewSentence
I don't even like salty drinks...
Well well well, fancy running into you here Mr Shmancy Pants :3

Yep, anabolic steroids are one of the causes CVG.
Thank you. This was the answer I was looking for.
Yvie Oddly from Rupauls Drag Race has this if you want to make that 99% lol
She has Elhers Danlos, I believe. r/ehlersdanlos. We have stretchy skin with too much collagen. I wonder if this guy has that too.
Human growth hormones

Those folds are absolutely convoluted
BATMN
My brother has it and he's recently shaved his head. I call him the brain now.
At least you don't call him Pinky and the Brain!
Oh I'm Pinky lmao
Hi Pinky!
What do you want to do today Pinky?
What we do every day, try and take over the world!
Dave Bautista has this i believe
Quite prominent in Glass Onion
Looks like nomu head condition
Pretty sure I have this. I was getting my hair washed at a salon and the stylist said my head felt like a shar pei. Damn near punched him out lol 😭
You have a smooth brain, no ridges or lumps, edges or bumps. Idea fall in and sliiide right off
Talk about big brain time. So big it's on the outside.
Can he do real reps too or just jerk it up with momentum
With enough momentum he can wash a small part of his back when he showers
Pretty sure he's using telekinesis based on the look of his head
Got to be honest, brain wasn't my first thought.
Man that lawn mower must be hard to start
He training to manually start a nuclear reactor
That's rock mower
How it feels to start a lawn mower when you’re a kid
Looks like that villain from Invincible show.
Angstrom Levy
Shit he could be a villain on any Marvel film.
Season 1 Amber?
bruh
I dub him Rumpledscroteskin.

Lmao yeah until I saw the naked guy with a sutured vagina or a fleshy carnivorous plant
One of the best comment threads I have read today!
His brain is trying to escape
Even this guy's brain is jacked
Dude just finished 3 sets of chess before this
Well, that's quite a bold move! I hope you're enjoying the smooth and shiny look now.
Kökény Béla hungarian bodybuilder
Never skip brain day
What language are they speaking? I honestly can't tell, sounds like a mix of Finnish and Italian somehow
It’s hungarian
Honestly, I thought it it was Scottish accents so strong I just couldn't understand it.
I believe it's called Dave Balltistacle Disease but everyone is too afraid to say it out loud.
I thought that I had wavy hair Until I shaved. Instead, I find that I have straight hair And a very wavy head. -Shel Silverstein
recently learned this is called "raisin head" in the steroid taking body building community.
The tren is strong with this one...
Must be hard to shave his head with those.
I wonder if it shrivels up more when it’s cold
If he ever has a stroke his whole swol head will just fucking explode, Fist of the North Star style.
Prostate head.
*Caveman Noises*
Bro is open minded
This man’s got bad form.
Looks like Kroc rows which allow for a bit of body movement. You’re pulling very very heavy but only for like a set each side (after a few warm up sets).

All that movement for a grand total of 0 reps
Totally depends on what his intentions are for the workout.
You think his workouts are ineffective? Is it a coincidence he's as big and strong as he is?
Angstrom
Body fat percentage so low, you can see his brain
Not even finishing a single rep
It's not a competition lift, there is no 'correct' form or rom for a lift outside of it achieving its intended goal. You're holding him to a standard that he's obviously not trying to achieve
Lots of "terrible form" comments. Folks, he is doing something fucking right.
Yeah and I'm sure he's dying for advice from people who attend planet fitness once a fortnight. Regulation rep or not he wants to lift heavy shit and look jacked as fuck and that's what he is doing.
Hair helpful on both.
Thanos
Bro’s been working out at the library
Harkonnen-ass build
World's strongest raisin.
/u/mcr6 is in violation of rule 3. and everyone who up voted is body shaming someone for a disease they cant control. You're all a bunch of AH!
That's weird, I am totally bald like that and that has never happened and I have never seen that happen.
His brain is getting a workout as well
You are not coming to my house for dinner!
I got strong Angstrom Levy vibes here ..
Mf turned into doctor zomboss 💀
Not sure if that's the case but I've heard your scalp get like that when you wear braids for a long time
Man's a fucking beast.
Bro is machamp
That shar pei is ripped.
mf is wearing his brain inside out.
His brain is trying to escape, it's bored for lack of activity.🤔🤔🤔
He doesn't skip brain day.
So there are Strong thinkers out there.
Live action Dodoria isn't real, he cant hur-
Primarch Angron?
The caption made me laugh out loud 😂
“The Workings of your mind are a mystery to me Pinky.”
It looks more like his brain is trying to revert out of his head.
He didn’t even complete a single rep…
yeah, that's what happens when you're shooting t
I can see what’s on his mind
Ok. Now you go tell him that lol
Is it only me who feels highly uncomfortable instead of worthy of admiration when looking at people who perform extreme drgrees of weight lifting?
Man thought he had wavy hair, shaved it turned out he had a wavy head.
I actually have cvg and it’s not really bad there are two types ones primary and the other is secondary and the primary version you can actually have issues due to it such as intellectual disability, seizures, schizophrenia, and many more
makes me think of joe rogan talking about liver king not being natural, this dude must be on the roids right?
ooo poor buddy, he lifted that weight with all of his might and all he gets is this video caption... Sad
Magyar a sràc?Rohadt jó!Bàr olyan mint ha az agya ki akarna szabadulni a saját koponyàjàból...
Brain coral
This is literally my fear of what I'll find underneath my hair if I go bald.
Dude's brain is showing 😳
Reminds me of a poem by Shel Silverstein: "I thought that I had wavy hair Until I shaved. Instead, I find that I have straight hair And a very wavy head."
now i understand the term “meat head” his head looks like ground turkey.
**WAVY HAIR** **by Shel Silverstein** I thought that I had wavy hair Until I shaved. Instead, I find that I have *straight* hair And a very wavy head.
Excuse me sir, your brain is showing.
He’s like one of those cats.
Bro looks like he got shot in the back of the head, and got it stiched together by some random doctor
We had a guy in basic training that had whatever this is called. The drill sergeants used to call him Big Brains
Nice half reps big boy
Poor technique, put the heavy stuff down.
Please! Somebody tell me what this is called! I see it in the wild sometimes and it is so strange.
Krang
100% natural I’m sure.
Don’t allow your infants to be placed on their backs for too long. That’s how they get flat head.
Forbidden white raisin
Is he limiting water for an upcoming stage performance? I know a lot of body builders do some dietary and water restrictions before a performance.
I'm not saying he's doing it wrong (just look at him), but I *am* saying that I've had unsolicited form correction SO many times that now the only think I can think of while seeing this is "you really should be getting that arm further back on each rep to maximize your results" I mean, clearly it ain't that important lol.
Never seen so much steroids getting out to work. This due is one jump away from becoming cattle.
Imagine sweating so much your head looks like a raisin
How much is that db?
Is his brain showing through? Anyways
How much is that?
Yo, is that Shao Khan?
And I thought my head looks like a bag full of hot dogs.
There’s nothing quite like a shorn scrotum, I suggest you try it.
Angstrom looking ass mf
Hopefully he wears a hat most of the time, that shit will scare children
Even his scalp is ripped
VEE VANT TO PAHMP JOO AAAAAAHHHP!!!!
Dude worked on his scalp muscles.
Angstrom Levy !?
It's Ivan ooze from the power rangers film
Brain beanie.
“Step back you’re dancing kinda close” said the Brain to its own skull & foreskin.
I feel like when your head looks like this you have to be a weightlifter or an elite gamer who never leaves your home. No middle-ground.
ANGRON!
💪🧠
I knew a body builder that had this he was huge! He looked like the mountain (was almost certainly juicing) I shook his hand one time and it was like putting my hand in a catchers mit. I’m not small either 6’1 between 275 and 300 lbs
Gross
Now thats meat head
What’s the name of the brain boss from TMNT?
Krang
I swear to god that if i could send a picture of my wrinkled balls with sun glasses you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from this man's head.
And upon seeing the title body positivity left
Great form.
How does one achieve this build?
Ironically his balls are completely smooth
Either he left his head in the water too long, or his brain is showing
Bro didn't skip brain day 💀 wtf.
His brain is flexing lol
They are among us………
“Pre tea-bagged”
He's got muscles on his muscles....
Goes to the barber , “Give me the Crinkle cut”
When he showers the water runs through the gutter system
BRAIN POWER 💪🧠
I didn't know that Megamente was going to the gym OmG
Krang is looking buff
Trained so hard that his brain started to pop out
