Why do some PROS look fat?

What causes their stomach to look bloated and fat? Even though they are at such a low bf %

results of way too much GH

[Knockout_Power]

Also, Ive noticed a lot of guys who use high dbol doses tend to have large distended guts


Keep in mind that a lot of these pros lift ridiculous amounts of weight day to day. This combined with high doses of gear will inevitably results in the core thickening up

HGH. Their organs have grown considerably as well as their muscle. I call that turtle belly.

Do any of you guys have it? How do you prevent it?

avoid GH

[lovbyts]

avoid GH

No, it takes a LOT and if you are using that much you are at or near pro level so it's unavoidable. Most of those guys are also power lifters so they have massive core to help support the weight or their spine would get crushed.

Agreed plus off season you couldnt imagine what they eat. I have a big stomach but it goes away once I cut, let my stomach shrink and decrease the size of my meals.

They do get intestine swelling from the GH and slin though. Mine went away.

I have food gut, easily preventable... I doubt those who are not either pro powerlifters or pro bodybuilders have this look.

Good visual!!!!

[Atomini]

Increased organ growth, especially the intestines. This is resultant of long-term high dose HGH and IGF-1 use.

Frank Zane never looked fat. Arnold never looked fat. These guys look like big ****ing Cows lol

As I recall, a number of the older bb'ers didn't use HGH, and I don't think any were of the massive size of Yates, or anyone in later years. In fact I think a number of them actually cycled off for long periods of time; at least I'm pretty sure Zane did.

[DCI]

I'd be more incline to think what lgm posted. If you look at okd pics the bber's from those days looked big but never freqky big like we have today for the reasons he outlined above

[Fllifter]

I call it close to what Mickey calls it. I call it a turtle shell

[krugerr]

I was always under the impression that the sheer volumes of good they consume was also a big factor?
What sort of GH dose causes this sort of growth? 40IU/day? More?

could you imagine the expense of ripping through a kit every 2-3 days...

From what Iver seen, the "big boys" are in the neighborhood of 10-16IU/day

10-16IU, I suppose that's still quite a dose, I just imagined it'd be more lol.

Sometimes bigger isn't always better - but to each his own.

Dude in my world bigger is better lol
Lets get fvckin massive ;-)

I'd love to see that stomach vaccuum shot as a mandatory pose these days, just to see who could actually pull it off like Metzer, Arnie, or Zane.

i can pull it off!

[Dpyle]

i can pull it off!

Is that recent?

I can barely pull a decent vacuum as my caloric requirements are high, which has caused a fair bit of stomach stretching.

every day dude! it has helped my abs a ton! has to be done on empty stomach as u collapse the diaphragm and the food would have nowhere to go

[kelkel]

Looks like you're getting ready to hurl!

LOL.. yeh i can get a better "grip" internally if i lean forward..

[canesfan804]

I wish I was "FAT" like those guys......

[--->>405<<---]

LOL.. now thats funny!

[951thompson]

They sure don't make em like they used too,
The pro's looked alot better in the 70's and 80's with there tight wastes, that "turtle" look is not attractive.

[ironbeck]

I thought it was also caused by insulin abuse ?

[BG]

yes sir you are correct, slin causes it more then the GH, atleast for me.

[S&S_ShovelHead]

I was under the impression that the whole organ growth due to heightened IGF levels was somewhat of a myth and it was more due to the amount of food needed to get to the size they are at today.
