Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I've busted my ass studying this and trust me it doesn't exist. It's just intra-muscular fat.
GH Gut?

Not saying internal organs don't grow on hgh/igf, of course they do. But for some to say that is the reasoning for the extended gut is insane as the amount of growth required would most likely kill a man far before the organ started to show actual signs of protruding from outside the body.

I've heard Insulin causes intra-muscular fat storage. Hm....
I think increased IGF1 levels cause this also.

I also wonder if it has something to do with the diets of today vs 20-30 years ago.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the bodybuilders back in the 70's and 80's era were pretty much lean year round. You could always see them with full 8 pack abs and a pretty tight waist. Maybe it's the off season big bulkups and gaining massive amounts of weight in a short time that stretches the stomachs out whereas the oldschool guys would just slim down a bit and dry out for the shows instead of getting monstrously huge and then cutting way down?
I have been researching this all afternoon and looks like nobody really has a solid answer.
I did see one guy, Emeric D (ifbb pro) state in black and white "gh and insulin in high doses" and he approved someone else's post that insulin stores fat. The answer?

^^^ our food quality today is much more crappy I can tell you that. you don't buy stuff from local farmers, its all from corporate farms. the turkey's 99% of people will be eating tomorow for example are pumped full of hormones and salt water. gone are the days you could go to the local farm and pick up a natural turkey that isn't pumped full of crap.
HGH has fat burning properties, so speculating, woudn't HGH combat visceral fat build-up?? Imo, there are entirely too many variables and not enough evidence to come up with an exact analysis on this subject.. Nevertheless, to say hyperplasia is not at least one of the components to cause that "bulky gut" look is absurd..

I think conanx had a good point. I do not know tons on the hgh subject but it seems to me that massive changes in diet and the lowered interest in abdominal exercising pared with the much larger amounts of weights the guys are lifting these days seems to be the culprit. The emphasis on abdominal strength and control had almost but completely vanished and most bbs just let the flowood"gut" hang out. I know that when my diet increases and I lose focus on working and controlling my mid section, it tends to widen and thicken. When I focus on exercising and keeping my mid section tight it slims down and that is with virtually no change on bf. Just my opinion, however.

Going over 4iu's a day for an extended period of time can lead to issues.
