Read some of his other posts… he is either a dedicated troll or is this dumb.
First post showed Arnie. Pardon the blasphemy, but would Arnie even place in a bodybuilding contest today? His thighs were very weak

Not really. Symmetry is symmetry after all.

There are many levels of Dumb. To reach this lower level of Dumb takes not only a blank mind, but also a resistance to any new information. While he could very well be 45 years old, I would imagine someone THIS Dumb would have been killed off by now crossing the street against the light or sticking his fingers in a light socket.
In summary, it would be rare and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not worthy for a man to make it several decades with this…affliction.
Another funny thing to me is the use of Arnold… the guy could never get the full “six pack” because of his GOD GIVEN GENETICS! Not because he did situps wrong or because he didn’t know how to flex them. His abs are just as “weird” as Jay Cutlers who don’t line up perfectly or any other modern day example.
Like Professor X accurately stated on the first page people are born that way(insertions) and they can not do anything reasonable to change it with drugs training or diet.

And biology is ASYMETRICAL. Hold a mirror to ANY face, even those of a supermodel, and you will find that the halves are not perfectly symmetrical.
There is NOTHING wrong with his abs. Everyone is not made the same and if half of these guys writing posts like this paid attention to how differently people can be shaped or put together, this thread wouldn’t exist.
Drugs don’t change the shape of tendons or move them around.

No one would dispute this. But superior genetics are particularly obvious with this particular muscle.

Only if you give a shit about tendon placement in abs…which I don’t. In fact, I never heard anyone make an issue of this until the recent crop of “abs over muscle” newbies hitting this forum.
They don’t judge you on stage by how your abs line up…AT ALL.
I am also betting most of the guys who even think this way are far from “genetically superior” and are probably afflicted with everything they love to point out in others.
the OP is a moron, reading any of his posts will confirm that.

Of course it’s foolish to give a shit about things over which you have zero control. My original response simply pointed out that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” doesn’t much apply here.

Hahahahaha!
Seriously, I’ve heard similarly stupid things in person from people who are otherwise decently intelligent adults and even pretty successful in other areas of life. Usually it’s politics, on this site it happens to be bodybuilding. I guess the discussion often goes downhill when emotion and dogma take the place of logic.
“Weird” is a social construction. Eating worms is okay for some, and is utterly disgusting to others.
actually prof, theres some people with very symmetrical faces and structures. and yea generally its people like supermodels who have it since its one of the things people look for. ive seen a couple random things on it, showing celeberties faces that are very symmetrical and i THINK i saw something highlighting how people find it more attractive.
From what I have heard, the standards are not the way they used to be ten years ago. I do understand how the OP got to saying this sort of thing about pros’ abs. I follow natural bodybuilding more than I do IFBB bodybuilding nowadays, simply because natural BB is what I am involved in have plans of competing in.
But when I first got exposed to bodybuilding, there were a lot of big guts out there. Who remembers Nasser’s enormous gut. However, when I went to the NYC Pro in Manhattan this past summer, NO ONE had a big gut like that, except for that Russian dude with the odd name (can’t remember it) and that was more so because the guy had extremely developed obliques and abs.
Its also not just from GH as people have thought. The fat behind the abdominal wall has a lot of testosterone receptors which makes it more anabolic when on high doses of T. Anyway, no one wants to see bloated guts anymore, hence why the pros listed here on this thread don’t have them.

It’s not fat that has receptors for testosterone. Before there was a “Gh gut”, “roid gut” described the bloat of the intestinal wall some might see from anabolics. The only thing that has changed is that every newbie has heard of GH before in the news so they think ANY TIME they see someone’s stomach not completely sucked in that this means they use GH in high amounts…which is false.
Some people simply have an abdominal wall that protrudes…period. That doesn’t mean anything other than that they were born that way.
People need to stop throwing crap diagnoses at everyone they see if they look anything different than what they see in GQ ads.

You guys are just blind you cant see that these guys abs are just plain odd! My guess is that this comes from steroids. Seems like when people take massive amounts of steroids their abs change shape, i think thats why they are ugly, but that is just a theory.[/quote]
go back to bodybuilding.com
Their abs are that way because they’ve made the mistake of not doing TBT, unlike Arnold who was and still is a TBT warrior for life.
