I was pretty sure this was in jest ID, if you didn’t chime in I was going to.
As far as his face goes, he sort of looks like he’s had shitty skin forever. If you look at his before pictures, and his early pictures, that seems, at least to me, to be the case. To me it just seems like he’s predisposed to looking like that when he’s huge and lean.

Sorry for the derails, Zraw. I was only joking about the Palumboism.
I have fun tossing that around in various threads because it’s such an odd and mysterious potential malady in BBing.

sorry i have been the cause of many of the derails but i actually think the thread is decent.
re AC obviously you can’t give too much away but without putting too fine a point on it - how exactly do you explain the fact that he is a young kid and has the face of an old man? it’s not just cos he is lean or it’s his genetics, you see with quite a few BBers that some look much much older in the face.
btw this is not meant to insult the guy, it is an interesting aspect of the sport.

I think some guys are more predisposed to this than others
From what ive seen with a good friend of mine the combo of tren (just 350mg/week here) + lack of sleep for anything over 10weeks will make your face age pretty fast. It somewhat reverse when stopping tren but not fully
Again this is just from what ive seen with my friend
Concerning AC i think its downright disrespectfull to call “Palumboism”
Its just a combination of drugs + predisposition but again I think even low dose tren can do this
Hell just go without sleep for 2-3days and see how your face looks haha (think post rave…)[/quote]
thanks for the response. yes “palumboism” is ridiculous and an ignorant accusation.
re tren i thought this was the case, i wonder what is actually going on for this to happen to the face and it doesn’t happen with other stuff. does your friend know what causes “moon face”? has tren caused any thickening of your friend’s brow or other parts of face (i know that is using linked with gh but thought i heard it was tren too)
cheers[/quote]
Moonface as in dbol face mega bloating or…?
From what I could tell with my friend and he even joked about it was that it seemed all his features got “deeper” if that makes any sense

Yes
He is also a super nice friendly and humble guy so I hate everyone hating on him
WAR!!!
Im lookong forwadd to seeing the “new pros” go up against the vets… it looks like its gonna be a big clash… and from.here its gonna be easier to see how far/close from.an O presence some of these guys are
Regarding the aging issue, I think it’s a combination of several factors (some of which have been mentioned)
Obviously different drugs can affect this but other issues which can/do lead to an “aged” are the lack of sleep (hard to sleep much on such low cals/high cardio), increased stress levels (contest prep, I would assume, can put a lot of stress on a competitor) as well as excessive tanning bed use.
The last one is a huge factor, IMO. Tanning is bad for your skin and keeping a “base tan” by tanning both is definitely not good for your skin. Everyone has seen that 40 year old who obviously spent to much time in the sun and their skin looks like leather… I think this is a factor in BBers looking older than they really are.

First paragraph I agree, but I don’t know about the tanning man. I agree it’s not good for your skin but the dude is 23. I don’t know any other 23 year olds that tan and look that much older.

plus he probably uses melanotan like the rest of us… which lets you get tan quickly, with very little exposure, and keep your tan for far longer than you would naturally be able to…
