Twitter had a field day with the former Wildcat's new look. 

Twitter goes nuts over muscular Mike Bibby

Buff Mike Bibby
(Instagram / Mike Bibby)

In case you haven't seen, former Arizona Wildcats standout guard Mike Bibby has spent some time at the gym. Actually, he's so buff that he looks like he's preparing for the WWE's Royal Rumble.

On Thursday, Bibby posted a photo during a shootaround workout with his son, Michael, and his Vin Diesel-esque frame had the internet jumping. 

Take a look at some of the best reactions from Bibby's viral photo.  

Twitter is amazing

We’re all about to roast Mike Bibby all night for being too in shape. Love this app.
