It is quite funny to see that you guys really doesn't know that, but don't panic, I can help you. You see, when you take some gear like growth hormone etc., it make your muscles grow. All your muscles, meaning every fuc*king muscle in your body. When your stomach muscle grows thicker by training, part of it (external oblique abdominis) can be seen as a six pack, but that isn't all of it. If you look at the anatomy chart, you find out that there is other muscles as well (diaphragm, internal oblique abdominis, psoas major, psoas minor, pyramidalis, quadratus lumborum, rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis), which grows also. There is muscles even in your intestines, which grows when you use gear, so your abdominal cavity is quite full from all that. When you eat or drink some water, it make your stomack look bloated. On the other hand, with that amount of food these guys consume, your belly stretch out, and it is much harder to control in every situation. When you relax, your stomach start to hang out. So simple. When you take some gear, your body can't point the growth factor just for some places, so your body grows as a whole. You can change some priorities by training, but fact is that your muscles grow even without any exercise. Even your heart muscle grows, which eventually make it weaker, but there is always price for everything...

big guts in bodybuilders is due to the abuse of insulin.   the guts started showing up in the mid 1990s, shortly after bodybuilders starting mixing insulin with gh. 

the guts are due to large amounts of visceral fat, fat between the internal organs in the abdomen.  (look up things like adipose and omentum in a medical book)

more evidence that its due to insulin is that people on certain HIV meds also develop the protruding stomach, which has been shown to be due to increases in visceral fat, and those meds are known to cause insulin sensitivity.

one interesting side note:  people who have gastric bypass surgery often have their omentum removed, instantly removing many pounds of visceral fat.  such obese people almost always have type 2 diabetes.   Removing the omentum often drastically reduces their need for insulin shots.

cut and paste from other sites:

Visceral Fat Vs. Subcutaneous Fat

There are two types of fat: subcutaneous and visceral. Subcutaneous fat is the type found just underneath the skin, which may cause dimpling and cellulite. Visceral fat, on the other hand, is located in the abdomen and surrounding vital organs. It can infiltrate the liver and other organs, streak through your muscles and even strangle your heart; and you can have it even if you appear to be thin.

It is the latter, visceral, fat that is linked to everything from bad cholesterol and hypertension to diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Well, that is one theory but does it float? What I mean is little detail called body fat. What these guys do is that they drop their body fat percentage by dieting, and according to your theory, there is still  remarkable amount of fat in their internal organs. How can this happen? When you are dieting, your body cannot burn fat off just some places, and leave it to some other places. That is just about impossible mission to accomplish. You cannot turn your beer belly to six pack just by doing sit ups, because your body doesn't work that way, and this is just same thing. If you are dieting like bb:ers do, your body fat percentage goes down in your whole body, not just in your muscles. What you see on these guys is overgrown stomach muscles, and that's it.  Like enormous back and chest, they also have enormous abdomen. Reason why Arnold etc. doesn't have bellies like these, is simple. These days they use more and stronger drugs. Try to imagine Ronnie and Arnold in same competition? Arnold would look like a swimmer compared to him, while Ronnie looks like a dinosaur...

Generally this is true, however when your body is on a strick diet and you are on comnplete overdrive then the body responds by taking fat from the bodyparts that the body feels it easier to do so from. So in certain cases the upper body continues to get shredded while the lower body is stubborn so once the upper body is completely ripped then the body has no choice but to release bodyfat for fuel from the stubborn bodyparts such as lower back, hams and glutes. I suspect the last place the body will burn bodyfat from is the internal organs.

Causes of big guts, Genetics, insulin, gh, over eating, carb-loading.

beer bellies are the best example.   guys with beer bellies have the huge protruding stomachs, but little or no fat under the skin.  why is the stomach protruding?   visceral fat in between the internal organs

exactly true, unless some drug is causing the body to hold onto as much visceral fat as possible.  insulin

and what is the make-up of that extra mass?   thicker walls of the intestines? &guy liver?   what is causing the growth of this extra material?  there is no evidence that GH or any other drug causes the stomach or intestines to thicken or grow

there were plenty of big guys in the 1950s-80s.   plenty of guys who ate massive amounts of food.  did plenty of steroids.   No protruding stomachs until they started using insulin with the growth hormone.

Bruce Randall got up to 400 pounds to be a super-heavyweight Olympic weightlifter, then dropped down to 190 for bodybuilding.   No protruding stomach.

Are there any studies into these eyesores or is it simply opinion?

people on certain HIV drugs develop the same protruding stomach.  research there suggests its due to those drugs causing insulin sensitivity, exacerbated by the use of GH.

other studies show a high correlation between visceral fat and type 2 diabetes.

surely some bodybuilders prior to the 1990s had the same genetics, over-ate and did carbo loading

I said Genetics because some with good genetics can take insulin and gh and not have a big gut so genetics obviously play a role and the over eating of the past doesn`t remotely come close in comparison to what people eat today as well as loading.

I don't buy it.  Of the tens of thousands of bodybuilders prior to the mid 1990s, surely a few of them ate like the top amateur and pros of today.   They were carbo loading back then too.   then suddenly in the mid 90s most of the top pros developed these guts.   now many top amateurs have it.

take away the GH and Insulin, and these guts would disappear.

Bruce Randall got up to 400 pounds to be a super-heavyweight Olympic weightlifter, then dropped down to 190 for bodybuilding.   No protruding stomach.

Just to add, if anyone wants to read more on Bruce Randall you can find more here:

It also shows the progression pics from close to a 400lber to a 187lber.

It is quite funny to see that you guys really doesn't know that, but don't panic, I can help you. You see, when you take some gear like growth hormone etc., it make your muscles grow. All your muscles, meaning every fuc*king muscle in your body. When your stomach muscle grows thicker by training, part of it (external oblique abdominis) can be seen as a six pack, but that isn't all of it. If you look at the anatomy chart, you find out that there is other muscles as well (diaphragm, internal oblique abdominis, psoas major, psoas minor, pyramidalis, quadratus lumborum, rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis), which grows also. There is muscles even in your intestines, which grows when you use gear, so your abdominal cavity is quite full from all that. When you eat or drink some water, it make your stomack look bloated. On the other hand, with that amount of food these guys consume, your belly stretch out, and it is much harder to control in every situation. When you relax, your stomach start to hang out. So simple. When you take some gear, your body can't point the growth factor just for some places, so your body grows as a whole. You can change some priorities by training, but fact is that your muscles grow even without any exercise. Even your heart muscle grows, which eventually make it weaker, but there is always price for everything...     

Jesus, this guy just makes me want to eat lead.

What drugs etc. lead to getting huge extended gut like so many bodybuilders have? and how do some pros manage to avoid getting this side effect?


The two biggest guts in history can be seen below.

I bet the difference between his waist in those two pics is a good six inches.   prior to gh and insulin, the pros were able to add significant mass to their legs, chest and arms without increasing the size of their waist.

Bro you are right it is gh and insulin, no doubt, but must you be a typical net poster when trying to get your point across, one pic shows Hide with a competition number and the other pic is 10 weeks out in the gym, all are waist are 6 inches bigger off season.

first, that's not an off season pic, just a few weeks out.   But he has abs in the second photo.  he's not carrying any significant subcutaneous fat.     so it does show he has a lot more visceral fat.    its kind of hard for athletes to have little subQ but lots of visceral fat, except with the help of insulin.

in the near future, will it become common for bodybuilders to have surgeries to remove both gyno and their omentum ?

nah. bodybuilders will start wearing corsets. That was Shawn Ray's secret weapon. He would would a corset for the whole off-season.

It's hard to diet away visceral fat. It just hangs around, even when you're lean.

Can't agree with that.  It'll start to go below 15% (yes, I'm guessing).  Var has been demonstrated to attack it well.


Tim - Do you mean insulin INsensitivity, not insulin sensitivity?  I thought GH promoted insulin insensitivity, which is why lots of guys supplement glucophage?

insulin and growth will cause big gut at higher doses on any human being particularly human beings on aas..ofcourse prolomged use of atleast a year or 2 is needed,,2months will do nothing
