Looking at the picture I'd assume that he could wipe it...he could even choose whether to back wipe or front wipe.

LOL since GH causes the human body to increase it's cellular reproduction and growth....
That means all over the body including the internal organs in most cases, causing the very common GH gut.

Yes there is. Excessive amounts of HGH make all the internal organs and intestines grow..the problem may be compounded by insulin but it is caused primarily by GH. Hence why the problem has reached epidemic proportions as the use of GH has become more prevalent.

They've performed autopsies on abusers of GH and their hearts, livers, intestines, everything, have been enlarged. It's proven beyond doubt that it does it...along with a lot else like cause abnormal bone growth and diabetes - leading to insulin problems.

Show me a study that proves that. I'll go into detail later, but it's an over production on insulin, combine it with carb loading (up to about 4000grms over a 4 or 5 day period, increases even more of a production. GH has been around for a long long time, "GH gut" didn't come around until the use of insulin was introduced!

It is an established scientific fact that excessive amounts of HGH - the kind the pro junkies use - causes organ and intestinal growth. To try to deny this is tantamount to asserting to that the earth is flat. The problem is compounded by the overeating and the insulin response caused by GH but the root cause is the pressure asserted by the intestines becoming enlarged..they've opened people up and seen the result. Can't believe that anyone would seriously deny that abusing GH on a grand scale doesn't cause this kind of growth.

Carb loading and insulin have been around a long time too.

I think he can wipe it when he's lean, but not at 400 lbs.  I can't fathom how his arms look so small in contest shape, check how big his arm looks here in an old pic I took with him:

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=191144.0;attach=221993;image)

And in this pic he said he was 355 lbs....look how wide his waist is - its debatable if he coudl reach his own ass in this pic, and with an extra 45 lbs on top - looks pretty unlikely for the Kovacs Monster!

Well..who knows? His lats are shit so I still can't see how he couldn't get at his shithole from behind..

I agree about his arms looking tiny on contest day..he looks like a gorilla one minute and a T-rex the next.

Here's a couple.

Side Effects of Overproducing Insulin

Over production of insulin can aggravate or trigger other problems including infertility, weight gain, bloating, poor lipid profiles, hormonal imbalances, cosmetic problems (hair loss, hirsutism, skin tags, acanthosis nigricans), and contribute to more serious health risks like high blood pressure, heart problems, and an increased risk of developing diabetes, and gestational diabetes during pregnancy. 

A pancreas that continually over produces insulin may also, over time, wear out, in which case a patient usually will need to take insulin.

If the internal organs grow and they're not fat or muscle tissue do they stay that way when the user gets off hgh and insulin?

Big guts have nothing to with internal organ growth. It's excessive visceral fat accumulation. You don't need to actually inject insulin to cause it, ask any bloke with a "beer gut".

Insulin spikes from high glycemic diets, high arachidonic acid (red meat), or insulin injection promote it, and guys "cutting" with HGH rather than diet and exercise is why it's so rampant in BB these days.

So you can call it "GH gut" or "insulin gut" and be niether wrong nor right.

Yes, I know and understand all about insulin resistance, insulin spikes, diabetes and the like. That certainly doesn't amount to a 'proof' that it is the only thing responsible for the large guts of professional bodybuilders.

 One of the major side effects of taking the vast amounts of HGH that bodybuilders do is the overproduction of insulin.  Abusive use of GH can cause diabetes. So even if the guts are exclusively the product of insulin that still doesn't rule out the root cause being GH. Although I don't believe that insulin is the soul culprit as autopsies on those who used excessive amounts of GH have shown enlarged hearts, 30lb livers and intestinal growth.

Also, whilst I understand that what is forcing the stomach out in such an protruding manner could partly be fat storage around the organs ..there is also, uncoiled, something like half a mile of intestines behind it. When someone is at 4-6% bodyfat with clearly defined abs yet still has a giant belly, then it seems a little absurd to say that there is no possibility this huge mass of tissue hasn't grown when we know that the whole point of GH is to promote growth and the spill over effect it that it grows everything..

 Gh and insulin are not mutually exclusive ..GH causes uncontrollable insulin spikes. Like I said, when you factor in the forced feeding this will exacerbate the problem but the stomachs have all coincided with the emergence of HGH..We know that it enlarges all muscles, organs , tissues and even bones when used..so why deny that it enlarges the organs and intestines behind the gut?

 Personally, I think my answer is much more sound..  especially as the GH causes all the deleterious effects that you cite and that it would explain why even at ultra-low, dangerous levels of bodyfat they still have stomachs that are painfully straining and being aggressively forced out, without any ability to control it.

Yes, I know and understand all about insulin resistance, insulin spikes, diabetes and the like. That certainly doesn't amount to a 'proof' that it is the only thing responsible for the large guts of professional bodybuilders.

 One of the major side effects of taking the vast amounts of HGH that bodybuilders do is the overproduction of insulin.  Abusive use of GH can cause diabetes. So even if the guts are exclusively the product of insulin that still doesn't rule out the root cause being GH. Although I don't believe that insulin is the soul culprit as autopsies on those who used excessive amounts of GH have shown enlarged hearts, 30lb livers and intestinal growth.

Also, whilst I understand that what is forcing the stomach out in such an protruding manner could partly be fat storage around the organs ..there is also, uncoiled, something like half a mile of intestines behind it. When someone is at 4-6% bodyfat with clearly defined abs yet still has a giant belly, then it seems a little absurd to say that there is no possibility this huge mass of tissue hasn't grown when we know that the whole point of GH is to promote growth and the spill over effect it that it grows everything..

 Gh and insulin are not mutually exclusive ..GH causes uncontrollable insulin spikes. Like I said, when you factor in the forced feeding this will exacerbate the problem but the stomachs have all coincided with the emergence of HGH..We know that it enlarges all muscles, organs , tissues and even bones when used..so why deny that it enlarges the organs and intestines behind the gut?

 Personally, I think my answer is much more sound..  especially as the GH causes all the deleterious effects that you cite and that it would explain why even at ultra-low, dangerous levels of bodyfat they still have stomachs that are painfully straining and being aggressively forced out, without any ability to control it.

Then if you understand how insulin works, then you understand being reletivly carb deficit leading up to the final week or so before a show, then approximately 4-5 days prior to the show, increasing the carb intake to sometimes up to 4-5000 grms over the course of the 4-5 days acts as a stimulant (actually is considered a stimulant) and increases the sensitivity, then add ECA and Clen which increases even more sensitivity.....and if they load insulin along with the carb load phase.....results are big, bloated, hard belly. Yes, I know the effects of the HGH and insulin as well (I posted an article yesterday on the effects of acromegley) but like I said, most of the articles I pulled up from JAMA and BMJ had nothing on organ growth.

Plain and simple........insulin overproduction. Also, from the studies I've read on insulin, the way these guys are taking it (even at 20iu's) is much worse than AAS over the long haul. One of the problems also is there is hardly any case studies reguarding BBers in reguards to the sometimes massive intake of GH and Insulin. I do have one, I will find it and post it, I posted it once before.

LOL since GH causes the human body to increase it's cellular reproduction and growth....
That means all over the body including the internal organs in most cases, causing the very common GH gut.

never been proven.  most likely cause is insulin

It isn't plain and simple at all. These stomachs are more than just bloated - although it is obviously a factor. However, bodybuilders have been carb loading for years and maintained the ability to perform poses like the stomach vacuum..they've been using clen and all sorts of drugs..without the emergence of the stomachs.

 You seem so set on it solely being insulin that you seemingly ignore the fact that HGH grows virtually all human tissue. When used in very large amounts it adds growth to muscles, organs, even bone and hair. Why do you have such difficulty understanding that it grows the intestines? They pay huge sums to buy HGH because it aids growth - you can't choose what it grows, you can't take it to only grow arms; it grows EVERTHING.

 The guts are a product of increased organ and intestinal growth, insulin overproduction (which GH causes ), and the other reasons you've listed.  I agree that insulin overproduction doesn't help ..in fact it's ruinous and yet another side effect.

 Anyway, there is no point continuing the discussion as your response is just 'it's insulin, end of story' or 'I know about insulin' etc.. You don't even address the fact that GH causes the insulin response. Also, the reason why there haven't been huge studies of the effects of massive amounts of GH on the human body is because it would be totally unethical and illegal. It's like giving people cancer to study them.

In studies where animals were given GH their organs and bodily tissues all grew as result. Ergo the name: Growth Hormone.

Over and out.

I will add that viseral fat plays a big role with these guy's stomachs. You mentioned that carb loading has been done for years, I know, I've been in and around the industry for more than 30 years and loading has been for at least as long as I have, but remember, way back when (when waists were small) carb loading was nearly like it is now, back then they might start loading a day, day and a half before, then the key was, was not to load so much to where your waist was bloated and pruposely keep the waist small.....not so today. If there in insulin involved, there has to be substantial carb intake.

Hey stupid, where did I say insulin made organs grow? And if you're so informed and intelligent........post some proof or a link or a few case studies.

Not a case study, but an authoritative source, The Mayo Clinic, list these side-effects to using GH on their web site:

Are there any risks to taking human growth hormone if you don't need it?
Taking human growth hormone can cause a number of side effects, including:

1.   Swelling in your arms and legs
2.   Arthritis-like symptoms
3.   Carpal tunnel symptoms
4.   Headaches
5.   Bloating
6.   Muscle pain
7.   Diabetes
8.   Abnormal growth of bones and internal organs
9.   Hardening of the arteries
10.   High blood pressure

Some evidence shows that side effects of human growth hormone treatments may be more likely in older adults than in younger adults. Also, because the studies of healthy adults taking human growth hormone have been short term, it isn't clear whether these side effects could eventually dissipate or become worse. For instance, though human growth hormone produced arthritis-like symptoms, it isn't clear if this would progress into arthritis. More study is needed.

Here's a couple.

Side Effects of Overproducing Insulin

Over production of insulin can aggravate or trigger other problems including infertility, weight gain, bloating, poor lipid profiles, hormonal imbalances, cosmetic problems (hair loss, hirsutism, skin tags, acanthosis nigricans), and contribute to more serious health risks like high blood pressure, heart problems, and an increased risk of developing diabetes, and gestational diabetes during pregnancy. 

A pancreas that continually over produces insulin may also, over time, wear out, in which case a patient usually will need to take insulin.

But none of that says anything about organ growth or distended bellies.  So how do these studies support your conclusion that insulin causes distended abs?

::)......never been proven that it makes organs grow.

IFG-1 is the culprit, mainly, abuse of Long R3 IGF-1.  When this came on the scene in the mid 90's that's when you started seeing guys blow up due to overdosing, incorrect dosing times and just all around abuse.  There was little research to go by so a lot of guys used themselves as guini pigs or followed what they heard from others.  So they were shooting sometimes over 100mcgs at a time, sometimes on a daily basis.  The general consensus for the best time to administer now is immediately post workout when the muscles are at their highest state for upregulation and IGF reception.  At the time this wasn't really known so some guys were injecting in the morning or pre-workout.  Injecting 100mcgs at a time causes a tremendous spillover into the rest of the body, and what part of the body has the most IGF receptors? Yup, the intestines.

This can also happen with Insulin coupled with HGH, this causes the liver to produce IGF (not Long R3 IGF) but the body has counter measures to stave off excess natural IGF production (Long R3 is different and body cannot kill off excess of this due to the amino chain makeup)  and it's believed that only in extreme cases of Insulin and HGH abuse that the "perma pregnant" look can occur this way.
