Constipation.

Wait…so humans exist whose stomachs do NOT stick out when completely relaxed?

And I mean BESIDES humans that have been starved to near death.

I am willing to bet “captainEvident’s” stomach sticks out when completely relaxed making the question really fucking strange.[/quote]

Also, isn’t the fact that he handles some serious weight, have an effect on your midsection, also?[/quote]

You have to force more pressure in your abdomen for many of those lifts (like deadlifts and squats).

However, newbs pointing every guy whose abs don’t look like a mannequin’s at all times are fucking clueless.

all these videos are really k0ol I like them a lot. He’s definately not small! Awesome videos

Is this post serious? I have that video. That is just before a contest…one that he did good at. How does he look small to you here? That is from his most recent video (I think as I haven’t seen a new one since that one) and he was larger there than in the past.

In that one video he goes from off season powerlifter weight to bodybuilding contest shape. He was gigantic before dieting down.[/quote]

i was just asking as to me it looks in the video that he was competeing a fair bit bigger then he is now. least he looks it to me but i could be wrong so was just asking if hes lightened up his compertiton weight

It’s distention cause by an obvious protein deficiency.

Bodybuilders do shrink if you go back in time.

Since Pumping Iron, bodybuilders like to have out of shape looking people working out behind them on camera for comic relief.

i was saying that it looks like he competes smaller, just like what lee priest did where he got up as high as competeing at 225-230 then shrunk back down to competeing around 200.

ive never seen johnnie compete close to 250lbs like he did in 2006 like i read. seems to be 230-35 he competes at now so i was asking if anybody else thinks he is lookin smaller now days in contest shape

He looks bigger now. Why do you think he is shrinking and why is this an issue at all if he is still doing well in contests?

Body weight alone isn’t the goal.

Well, while he looks impressive in that vid, he is also smaller there than I have seen him lately.
I got that video about 3 months ago and it is worth picking up if you are really into bodybuilding. It shows him in “full house” powerlifting condition and then dieted down for competition.

Beyond that, do some research before you post. 5 seconds on the internet should have cleared that up for you which is why the flames are coming.

had a look around but just a double check, power bodybuilding is the one to get right?

Yes. His other one sucks. They show him deadlifting looking like he could eat 10lbs of hamburger meat right there and then they show him dieted down.

His leg workouts would fuck my knees up royally as he does them very quick, especially when doing his version of sissy squats.

If I had knees like his I would dominate the fucking weight room.

Kwashiorkor…a very sad condition. Poor Johnnie needs to start eating some steak.
