@@australianspider4983 they do shrink down as you can see with Ronnie for example but not fully there is constant damage to the organs worst example is Andreas Münzer whos liver and kidney was in terrible terrible condition and died of it.
Jim Thompson the organs get larger due to growth hormones ( which is what it found in children when growing up) and visceral fat ( fat around the organs)
Insulin is the primary hormone involved in activating fat cells predominantly around the midsection of men. The bodybuilders these days eat massive amounts of carbs which doesn't help either, it adds fat.
Jaffycake I think it's a conglomeration of things. plastics, pro hormones in foods, carbs, sugars, sedentary life styles, computers, social media, complacency in our culture, give me everything now mentality, lack of work ethic, lack of values, and of course like you said insulin, as well as IGF levels, and HGH.
Rich Piana (fav natty) Been taking roids for decades and he has no bubble gut. Something is wrong, maybe new stuff came out and everyone keeps it a secret.
+Brucho Sindicate That's the problem no one truly knows it's from. Most people believe it's either HGH, insulin, or some new type of steroid on the market.
+DDADROVIC But his hands, wrists, head, pretty much everything on rich grew noticeably he admitted. So he must have been on extreme doses. Im sure his intestines would have grown too... its an interesting topic, hmmm
Lui, Yates and Levrone explained perfectly,it's the combination of insulin and GH.Dorian said he used insulin in 1997 and that caused his mid section to look bloated.Kevin said the same thing. So there you heve it,it's the combination of Insulin and GH that cause this.Rich Piana said it also.
Its actually the abuse of insulin/ HGH, not steroids. But nonetheless its still caused by the abuse of a substance and the results are rather nasty looking (imo).
Why are you still speculating. You should know by now that they are using less some anabolics in their cycles and going for lots of insulin and GH instead. Massive GH intake causes the intestines to thicken as well as the whole abdominal wall from the pelvis up to the sternum. BOOM. There it is. Has nothing to do with bloating or relaxing or independence or water or fat levels. The ab area is just literally bigger. Why can't you comprehend? Growth hormone induces hyperplasia, anabolics induce hypertrophy. Do you get it?
Oscar Fahlén Not directly. Abdominal growth can however happen without GH if you train back to heavy because the pressure and core strain can cause thickening. Too much back training is a bad thing.
+luimarco Can you please do a video on your natty diet? I have no clue what to eat on a university schedule and all these famous youtubers that say they are natty are just juicers...Would be nice to see how you maintain your diet.
+nineteen19nine1 Naw, its GH. But you're sorta right. Insulin is also used by all of these guys, so I can see where you would get that idea. However, the GH (and the huge doses that these guys use...20IU or more per day) are what cause the distended stomach. It makes EVERYTHING grow...even tumors.
+DDaannyy16 I don't understand why the hell somebody doesn't take him to a lab and figure out wtf is going on with his gut. Surely there's some valuable medical info that could be ascertained from figuring out how the fuck a guy ever managed to get visible abs with a 50 inch waist.
people forget that back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was training steroids were legal and even though they were used they were not merely used as much as illegal steroids are used today in the bodybuilding industry
+luimarco I genuinly dont understand Bou Bander reference, cant ever find anyone in comment sections that seem to know what ur talking about either. It sounds like some american cartoon character
A lot of it looks like simple bloating. It has been a major issue in the last decade or so, especially in America. Many people think they're obese, or have a pot belly. Can't seem to do anything to get rid of it, even after losing 30 or more pounds. They don't realize it's not fat, it's gas production and built up un-purged waste. I personally think a lot of it is in the current trend of over-processing our foods that we simply can't digest. Which is only continuing to get worse.
This is what I found: - IGF-1 causes intestine and organ growth - Insulin (slin) causes intra abdominal fat storage (an easily proved statement, google will find thousands of studies reporting this) The 2 act in different ways to produce the GH gut look
That would be a start. What your doctor would do is probably refer you to a dietian or a lab to get your blood tested. The best person to seek is a naturopath but they are expensive.
Looks like visceral fat +/- possible bowel enlargement. I've done surgeries on guys with enormous guts who have very little sub Q fat, and a crap-ton of intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal fat. It's disgusting. This looks like that.
+thebigbus1 I hear some of these guys have had cat scans that show no actual growth of the intestines, however all that food, constipation and crap leading up to a competition could at least temporarily enlarge them, also they don't train vacuums to strengthen the transverse abdominals which should counteract the natural outward curve of the mid section. looks like it's a combination of at least 2-3 things which lead to a terrible look.
***** Honestly in the case of bodybuilders I'm not sure they can. They are already so very lean, so if this IS visceral fat, it tells me there's something weird going on metabolically to deposit it there. Most likely the heavy insulin + carbs :-/ Will take someone smarter than me to figure out if there's a way to target visceral fat loss. :)
+David Farley yes I think working on your transversus abdominis strength can't hurt!! I agree..I don't like the look of the big gut. I've never used peptides or insulin, but likely won't ever go that route either. Some good test and other goodies are enough for me :-)
When you flood your body with insulin, you promote an increase in glycogen stores in the liver that is far greater than the rate at which the glycogen is being broken down to glucose 6-phosphate for use in glycolysis. This high amount of glycogen in the liver causes more are more water to be stored in the liver in an attempt to lower the concentration of glycogen. This increase in water storage causes some of the bloating associated with bubble guts. There are genetic disorders which decrease the function of glycogen phosphorylase, leading to a similar inability to break down glycogen. These disorders lead to gut swelling which is reminiscent of bubble guts, although typically people suffering from these disorders aren't using steroids or working out to the extent that they will have the prominent abdomen muscles of bubble guts bodybuilders.
The reason behind the "bubble gut" in a nut shell is the increase in insulin in bodybuilders and the additional food intake which they have, and that expands the stomach region.
Could be a liver issue...late stage liver disorder includes abdominal swelling brought about by fluid buildup. Certainly the cocktail of PEDs has wrought hell on their livers.
that checks out because similar to Vanessa Williams he is part white. Lots of African Americans have some European lineage due to slave and plantation owners raping slaves 100s years ago..
It just doesn't make sense to say that synthetics cause bubble gut. Just like he said, look at the Kings of old! Arnold, Lou, Dorian, Haney, ect.... NO GUT! This day in age is a joke. To even be allowed on stage with such an embarrassment of a gut is sad...
+CountryLapi Dorian Yates, at 53, might still be young and crazy enough to take HGH and insulin, but no one was dumb enough to think and be foolish enough to use it when those other guys were competing.
You know you're officially DISSED! When brotha Lui doesn't give you that "SALUTE". Not even on a one time BA-SISSS... Please BABY PLEASE. Bubble Guts, "NO SALUTE"!
Just read up on this. Some growth hormones (insulin) make internal organs and viscera grow, which makes the stomach bulge. Another distant reason has something to do with liver damage; protein rich fluid (ascites) is leaking into the gut.
I agree with the reasons given for the bubble gut. I would however like to add something, A theory I have just been pondering..Insulin is of course highly anabolic. with all this food the pro's have to keep eating, the stomach muscles, the intestines are constantly working overtime. the effect of the intestines constantly working in combination with the slin, gear and GH makes the intestines hypertrophy.
this video is hilarious. what is happening in these men's guts is probably either bloat from wheat, which is definitely fucked up compared to wheat even a couple decades ago, and / or askaris worms that grow in the intestines, and eat all of the decaying "food like" products that we have been given today. Food isn't the same like it was back in the seventies and eighties, when I was growing up.
+David Bruce I don't think so. Don't bodybuilders do ketogenic diets? In those you avoid carbs.. which means you don't have much fiber.. so you don't poop as much :p but yeah bread isn't that good, but not tragically bad either
This is a liver disease also common on alcoholics where the liver starts swelling this is mainly caused by an external patogen in the liver that can not be processed the right way wich causes the liver to gather more blood to isolate the patogen causing a swell. If more of this patogen is induced it will cause further damage causing a massive or major swell.
GH makes the most sense as to why the bubble gut. It causes your intestines to grow. In combination with insulin, it may be more effective at stimulating that growth though, and if it were just a matter of stopping insulin to get rid of the gut, I don't think we'd see all of these "retired" bodybuilders with giant guts still.
Its all the internal fat. everybody has some of it, people who bulk usually develop it. the smaller they were initially the bigger the gut development. people who use steroids develop a massive one because of the huge fat retaining
My friend luimarco I am writting to you from Greece ( Jack Kando is a pseudonym) so excuse me for my poor use of the English language. I would like to comment on Palumboism and what is the reason of it. Let me say right from the start that in my opinion the abuse of liposuction is the culprit here. There is bodybuilding before and after liposuction. In the golden bodybuilding era before bubble guts, when liposuction was something unheard of , body builders used to get fatter during the off season between competitions in an attempt to gain more myscle due to eating thousands and thousands of calories. The extra fat was stored under the skin as well as in the abdomen mostly in the form of omental, mesenteric and retroperitoneal fat. Some time before the next competition those early bodybuilders had to get rid of the excess fat in order to achieve definition . They did this by redusing callories intake drastically i.e by fasting .Along with the extra fat they used to loose some of the muscle mass but there was no other way to achieve definition. So they could become , even for a few days, muscularly skinny. They reduced subcutaneous AND abdominal fat to a minimum thus creating the vacuum and achieving definition and form. After the invention of liposuction everything changed. Multiple liposuctions lead to the elimination of every accesible ounce of subcutaneous fat. But guess what. All those consumed calories, finding no fat cells under the skin to get in, tend to build fat in the belly. Modern bodybuilders instead of cutting down the calories intake they do yet another liposuction. They have almost zero fat under the skin but they are fat , very fat in their abdomen behind their abdominal muscles. I guess that their muscles are also soft and flabby in comparison say to those of Arnold because guess what fat accumulates not only in the abdomen but also in muscles - another inaccesible to liposuction area. Cheers Brahhh from Greece Dailyyy!
The Bubble Gut phenomenon is actually visceral fat (active Fat) that is that is stored within the abdominal cavity and is therefore stored around a number of important internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines. It is possible to have a low fat percentage with high visceral fat.
It's from steroids and HGH and the damage it does to the liver which is swollen and damaged from the use of these drugs. It's like the first guys belly shown a alcoholic's belly a damaged liver that is swollen from abuse and serious damage. Liver cancer and tumors are very common in those who use steroids and hgh at the levels body builders do.
It has to be caused by foods that creates inflammation. Foods that don't move through the body fast enough. Foods that don't consist of *fiber*. If they ate more plant foods (fiber/ anti-inflammatory foods) then this would not be an issue.
Hey Lui, Great stuff as always. I'm not on any PED's, but I had a few theories: 1) Could be partly due to weak transverse abdominal muscles. 2. Could be that the organs in that region are enlarged due to all the different PED's they take. GH is known to enlarge the heart and could possibly enlarge the other organs. 3) Gluten intolerance maybe, causing the bloated look. 4) Probably taking more protein than they can absorb before competition. Again, just theories. Keep up the good work brother!
Why don't they just make a gut division in bodybuilding? and try not to confuse it with powerlifting

I agree with Luimarco. Mike Matarazo confessed to use steroids and growth hormone but said insulin not. He was huge and had no gut.

In combination with insulin, it may be more effective at stimulating that growth though, and if it were just a matter of stopping insulin to get rid of the gut, I don't think we'd see all of these "retired" bodybuilders with giant guts still.
Its all the internal fat. everybody has some of it, people who bulk usually develop it. the smaller they were initially the bigger the gut development. people who use steroids develop a massive one because of the huge fat retaining
Pregnancy all day. Bubble gut bonanza, drop it down like a belly dancer.
My friend luimarco I am writting to you from Greece ( Jack Kando is a pseudonym) so excuse me for my poor use of the English language. I would like to comment on Palumboism and what is the reason of it. Let me say right from the start that in my opinion the abuse of liposuction is the culprit here. There is bodybuilding before and after liposuction. In the golden bodybuilding era before bubble guts, when liposuction was something unheard of , body builders used to get fatter during the off season between competitions in an attempt to gain more myscle due to eating thousands and thousands of calories. The extra fat was stored under the skin as well as in the abdomen mostly in the form of omental, mesenteric and retroperitoneal fat. Some time before the next competition those early bodybuilders had to get rid of the excess fat in order to achieve definition . They did this by redusing callories intake drastically i.e by fasting .Along with the extra fat they used to loose some of the muscle mass but there was no other way to achieve definition. So they could become , even for a few days, muscularly skinny. They reduced subcutaneous AND abdominal fat to a minimum thus creating the vacuum and achieving definition and form. After the invention of liposuction everything changed. Multiple liposuctions lead to the elimination of every accesible ounce of subcutaneous fat. But guess what. All those consumed calories, finding no fat cells under the skin to get in, tend to build fat in the belly. Modern bodybuilders instead of cutting down the calories intake they do yet another liposuction. They have almost zero fat under the skin but they are fat , very fat in their abdomen behind their abdominal muscles. I guess that their muscles are also soft and flabby in comparison say to those of Arnold because guess what fat accumulates not only in the abdomen but also in muscles - another inaccesible to liposuction area. Cheers Brahhh from Greece Dailyyy!
God-bless you from Boston Massachusetts You are the best brother Period
"if you are pregnant brah....maternity leave" lmfao
the world is changing, i think people will appreciate aestethics more rather than "bigness"
The Bubble Gut phenomenon is actually visceral fat (active Fat) that is that is stored within the abdominal cavity and is therefore stored around a number of important internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines.
It is possible to have a low fat percentage with high visceral fat.
It's from steroids and HGH and the damage it does to the liver which is swollen and damaged from the use of these drugs. It's like the first guys belly shown a alcoholic's belly a damaged liver that is swollen from abuse and serious damage. Liver cancer and tumors are very common in those who use steroids and hgh at the levels body builders do.
It has to be caused by foods that creates inflammation. Foods that don't move through the body fast enough. Foods that don't consist of *fiber*. If they ate more plant foods (fiber/ anti-inflammatory foods) then this would not be an issue.
Hey Lui,
Great stuff as always. I'm not on any PED's, but I had a few theories:
1) Could be partly due to weak transverse abdominal muscles.
2. Could be that the organs in that region are enlarged due to all the different PED's they take. GH is known to enlarge the heart and could possibly enlarge the other organs.
3) Gluten intolerance maybe, causing the bloated look.
4) Probably taking more protein than they can absorb before competition.
Again, just theories. Keep up the good work brother!
Dude, you are hilarious! "If you have a bubble gut, you need maternity leave, brah" LMAO!
Haney was the last Mr Olympia with a classic physique.
