Yeah that's the cycle I saw...imagine 1400mg of tren
60iu of insulin per meal I'm guessing caused the barrel gut
If someone's kidneys and or heart are failing it causes ascites which is fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity, which is why I said his onstage look was concerning, the legs still looked watery when he is most likely very dehydrated in fact. I don't know if he had ascites here but it's a possibility.
While steroids and GH snd insulin can cause a big belly through a few mechanisms, sometimes insulin can be protective, it can help keep sugars down and protect the kidneys and it's a potent antiinflammatory, if someone has inflamed organs it can be somewhat protective. I'm just giving some hypothetical mechanisms if someone wants to understand how all these hormones can interact.
So, if someone has reported his labs indicate major organ problems AND he's got a big barrel gut AND lower extremity water retention that is a very bad sign ESPECIALLY when the person is devoid of subcutaneous bodyfat.
Pumping those amounts of hormones into a body that is sick and not accepting them does not in any way help that someone's physique. Drastically lowering everything would probably actually improve the look as the body doesn't have to fight all that toxicity. Of course getting off most everything would be ideal, OF COURSE, but it's hard with that mental outlook, I know.
