stomach bloat

[holybull]

whats causes the protruding stomach on alot of pro-bodybuilders?

[joeycrabcakes]

I always thought it might be from human growth hormone growing the internal organs.

[Bob Smith]

Extensive use of growth hormone is the cause.

[Bigkarch]

or a lot of beer and food to stretch the stomach....uh...just what I heard..

[Mr. Shoulders]

The stimulation of all the igf receptors in the abdominal area caused by HGH

Does the distended stomach evr go away following disconitnuation?? I know for this year's Mr Olyimpia, "growth guts" are going to be marked down. So unless that goes away with time through discontinuation, good ol' ronnie coleman is gonna be marked down for his belly.

As he should have been for the past 10 years.

I think that the internal organs probably do lose some size after completely discontinuing GH, but I highly doubt it returns to normal.

I guess any one of us could be right but i always heard it was from all the TacoBell .. Ha Ha

When you push the imits of body size this is unavoidable, to some extent, barring exceptional genetics. Of course growth and IGF exasberate the condition but seriously when the body size is increased to 50% more than its natural size the organs that are needed to process the nurtients to sustain this size will grow (sometimes unproportianately) to the size of the body. Unforunately in the world of 300lb body builders, big guts will be the norm. If you want more asthetically pleasing physiques then they will be smaller, as in the younger days of bodybuilding. This is physiology and you really can not get away from it, aside from maybe using an IV to supply nutrients, or rare gentics.

And people wonder why BBers die young .. Like i said before,i think AAS is probably one of the best things a BBer does for himself,as long as they are reasonable about it
