At least Walker has a bit of a diet face, look at Fitz, very swollen face... from the attemp to be as "full" as possible during prep.
And then Palumbo says its caused by heavy eating .... somehow that stupid "explanation" always gets on my nerve.
It's not altogther ridiculous. Hear me out. These guys dieted down don't typically have a lot of visceral fat, so it's not that. Organ enlargement from GH? Maybe to a degree, but it's not like GH immediately cause quick organomegaly. But the muscle, and all tissues do stretch over time if someone has an extremely full stomach at all times. Even yo the point of
diastasis recti, where the ab muscles separate and even tear, just like in pregnant women. Some coaches advocate staying a little lighter in the off season, so the skin and everything else isn't stretched out. Plus lifting heavy on a full stomach also puts added stress on the tissues. Why many always wear a belt during lifting.
What do you think about my explanation?
