GH Question?

Hey guys,
Does Growth Hormone make your stomach stick out do to your organs growing or anything else? I see a few buddies of mine that take it and their stomach's are ripped up but they seem to stick out a little more than I would like.

Thanks
Lethal

it depends on doses, and how much test you take too, practice the vaccum like arnold!

correct me if im wrong guys.

GH gut is probably a myth. The question arises from studies that show an increase in body mass (not muscle mass) with GH alone. Explanations vary. Some conclude that increased bone density accounts for the difference, others, that new, thicker connective tissue, water, even internal organ growth is the reason. From personal experience, I believe it to be from denser bones and connective tissue.
Some years ago, the same folks called the phenomenon "steroid gut".
I agree with iron horse that today's pro's do not train the mid-section correctly.

I don't know that I would call it a myth, but I don't think it is likely without massive dosages. I have a friend who has worked out with Ronnie Coleman and when he told me how much Gh he was taking, my jaw hit the floor. Those guys really abuse the stuff.
