Bodybuilders Shrink or Illusion?

isn’t the fact that he handles some serious weight, have an effect on your midsection, also?[/quote]
I have thought of that, but could it be that he did more direct work for his abs compare to other athletes?

Like this video of Marius, you can see that his abs aint sticking out as much.

So every post responding to you in this thread was simply ignored?

DOES YOUR STOMACH STICK OUT WHEN COMPLETELY RELAXED?

Should a professional bodybuilder be compared to an average joe? Hm? I have a beer gut cause I am a fat fuck, there I have said it cause clearly that’s what you want me to admit.

I was just intrigued to find his stomach bulges out so much desperate having such a low bodyfat level, not sure why you are enraged.

You were responded to on the previous page. You think that because your mental image of a bodybuilder is largely based on still photos and a lack of understanding of anatomy even at lower body fat percentages.

Basically, your idea of a “bodybuilder” is how they look in flexed photos. It is apparently a shock to find out that really lean people have abs that stick out when they eat, when they completely relax the area or even if they inhale deeply.

There, now you can rest easy.

Edit: Johnnie’s stomach isn’t even sticking out to any significant degree in that video so what are you talking about? He just finished a workout and is breathing rapidly.

This video is the most worthwhile thing you’ve ever posted. Thank you.

X, as far as my knowledge takes me, it’s due to extreme amounts of drugs, such as peptides that make the abdominal section enlarge. But yeah, your theory is also spot on, only that in some cases drugs can have an effect on the total size.

If you see that video and actually see any abnormal abdominal distention, please let me know how much clinic experience you have seeing any human form.

Johnnie Jackson is short and competes at over 240lbs. A larger weight lifter is not going to have a waist like someone under 200lbs aside from rare genetic freaks. Jumping from that to blaming drug use for it is irresponsible and incorrect.

We are not talking about someone like Jean Pierre Fux, Nasser El-Sonbatty or Greg Kovacs who clearly had drug related abdominal distention.

Not to derail a semi-failed thread, but, there are some pictures of Kovacs that just do not do that man justice as a pro-bb’er. Strong and huge, but god-awfully unasthetic (at least during one phase of his career).
