What? Did you look at all the pics X just posted? I have no comment. I hope this is all just a joke. This is what, the third or fourth insanely stupid thread in the BODYBUILDING forum this week?[/quote]

It was actually worse than this before that T-Cell was created. There are some dumb people who jump into BODYBUILDING forums lately. None of them have much muscle either.

Coincidence?

I thought it was from having a shitload of food in their stomach, don’t they starve themselves then eat a shitload night before the contest to have a ‘fuller’ effect.

Why don’t you post a picture of what abs should look like?

I don’t know much about pro bodybuilding and don’t follow it at all really, but this guy [Brandon Curry?] is about as flawlessly built for the “sport” as one could ever hope to be.


Speaking of abs today I go to the dentist and on the table there is a celeb magazine. I don’t make a habit of reading this crap but I needed something to kill time. Issue was about sexiest abs and the winner was David Beckham WTF? Am I blind? Do people have a different idea of what abs are? What the fuck is going on?

does he even have abs? from that pic it just looks flat. No linea alba no nothin. Weak.

lol@ david beckham

Growth Hormone makes everything in the body grow, bone structure, internal organs and of course muscle. What you are seeing is the organs literally pushing out from underneath the abdomen. Also as the Professor mentioned the amount of food to attain a 300lb physique is not comparable to a 200lb physique.

Don’t kid yourself though lots of pro’s back in the day were taking steroids and eating a pile of food and not looking like todays pro’s.
Just different drugs and larger doses.

Ahhh so GH is the reason why the abs seem weird. I knew it had to do with drugs. That makes sense.

No GH has nothing to do with it thats a myth. Professor posted several PRO bodybuilders who use GH and don’t have it. The few you picked are off season picks were they are eating tons of food prob ever 2 hours or so.

wow, if that really was the top pic choice, we all would be in trouble (or should be atleast)…luckily nobody seems to actually know what the hell they want

…i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact bodybuilders of the 60s and 70s practiced the vacuum because they found it more aesthetic to have their gut sucked in versus bodybuilders of today who display what a set of rounded hard abs look like. the bodybuilders of today if anything have a more natural midsection, in terms of true anatomical appearance versus actual size.

Different people have different abs.

What’s the big deal?

Weird abs to you may mean completely normal abs to another person.

To the Op…are you commenting in reference to a bloat in the stomach or the separation of the abs?

If the latter, as Prof X stated, there is nothing odd about them at all. That is how abs look when you are extremely lean. Although older bodybuilders competed at very lean levels, they were not at the level that pros are able to reach today.

I suggest you read the comments from every person who posted…except for the one guy who blamed drugs and agreed with your already established anti-steroid dogma.

This thread is so fucking stupid. I hope this guy is still a young teen around 15 or something, maybe then at least he can have an excuse for such a mind dumbing post.

Must be something good

Why does everybody play the teen card? Being young isn’t an excuse for being an idiot. I’m 16 and I’m not nearly as ignorant as he is.

I think player is just saying what he is as a clear cut joke. And I also agree with what zelazo said.
