Gareth Bale attributes his bulging biceps to his golf swing

REAL Madrid star Gareth Bale has revealed the secret of his bulging biceps.

The Wales international claims that playing golf in Spain has led to his muscular look.

Photographs emerged this summer of Bale flashing his guns in pre-season training with his Madrid teammates.

He said: “I don’t usually wear a vest, so no one sees my arms! I did a bit of running in the off-season, but nothing else.

“I’d played a fair bit of golf, so maybe it was from my golf swing. It could also be from the tan I’ve got from living in Spain.”
