Title: Why do bodybuilders look like shit in the off season even with visible abs?
Post by: Awesomo on April 21, 2009, 11:23:00 AM
When i lean myself down to around 10% bodyfat and am showing faint abs I look pretty good, quite aesthetic. Why is it though when bodybuilders put on weight after a show and guest pose where their bodyfat is still low enough to show abs they look like absolute fat pieces of shit? I assume this phenomenon is from the roids?

Yeah they are bloated as fuck because of the roids, even though they are at 10%.

Personally I think it's just because the body isn't ment to support that much weight naturally. A short/medium height (5'6" - 5'8 ) man isn't going to look pretty at 240-260lbs no matter how lean.

Plus all the bloat, etc..........

Yeah i just mean it is weird as hell to look at someone who has visible abs and the first thing you think to yourself is how fat they look.

Do you know what a genuine 10% looks like?

Most can see there abs @ 12 %..

10% Is getting pretty lean for an average guy..

My point was generally if i see a guy with visible abs then he will have a very aesthetic and appealing body. When bodybuilders bulk up to whatever percent, but that they still have visible abs they look fat and terrible. Exact percentage doesn't really matter.

this reminds me of a time when somebody was syaing kamali was a "fat piece of shit" at ag guest posing there were pictures of...but yet kamali had ad and serratus and muscle seperation between all the major musles.....


i dont know why some tiny skinny 150lb little dudes think that anybody over 200lbs is fat, unless they are 4% wth diruetics, bu they would soon realise that most pros guest posing are much leaner than they are themselves

Ok i changed the title to be more appropriate. The point of the thread is why do I and the average gym rat look good and aesthetic when lean enough to start showing abs, but pros look like fat pieces of shit?

They are best when heated up a few seconds in the microwave so that the chocolate and the caramel melts.
Then eat them with the ice cream.
