Stomach getting bigger

[flyingfox272]

My buddy was breaking my balls today saying I look like I have roid gut, I have been hitting squats and deadlifts hard lately and I have noticed my upper four abs are getting huge.( only do abs on occasion)

Hitting Cyp and deca, is this a prob for any of you guys?

You're most likely holding water. This also happens from a less than clean diet and decreased insulin sensitivity. How much are you taking and at what doses? It doesnt matter though, it goes away. But you should be using an AI with that stack for sure.

 

[georgie24]

water!!!

if you where on IGF-1/HGH then that could be potential culprit

 

[lifthard2005]

it is test gut.....bloat.....my wife says the same to me. "when are you going to get a six pack" always during bulkers for me.....i never had a full sixer, but when im taking test my guy bloats alot

 

[flyingfox272]

Yup, running a bulker. About 800 mgs of cyp per week and 500 mgs Deca per week. Eating as much as I can too, but my weight seems to holding steady(been on for a few months). BTW I'm using aromasin @12.5 mgs per day so I will up it a bit.

 

[Stacemranger]

You're just feeling the bloat from the test and the bloat from eating a lot all the time. I just got done with that.

 

[INNOCENT]

12.5mg seems a little high... i could be wrong though...bump for ya.

heavy Squats have always assured a blocky waist for me which is a no no

basically the rule of thumb is to avoid exercises that exaggerate abdominal pressure and circumference for stabilization

this varies from person to person of course

 

[Muscle Overkill]

Thats wierd cuz I have a huge stomach. I hate it I could have change 1 thing about my body it would be a flat stomach and I have been squating heavy for 16 years, real heavy for 11 years. Is there anything you can do to change it ?

Sounds like you are drinking too much beer.

not really bro

even Arnold practiced "vacumes" to assure a small waist

we all lift here, and we lift heavier then normal people, so therefore its not that hard to imagine that people waists can grow esp if prone to it.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

usually water and undigested food mass. after a bulking run (natural) it takes a bit under a couple of weeks for my stomach/gut to go back to normal and flatten out, and i dont have to contend with the electrolyte issues you guys on roids do

 

[Muscle Overkill]

what are vacumes ?

[Muscle Overkill]

What as exactly is he doing, you got any better examples ?

 

[OMEGA]

he is decreasing the circumference of his abdominal region then holding it in Static position over many minutes.

he practiced this when going about his daily business as well while walking or whatever

results were eventually waist much smaller

So these can actually work if done over time.

According the Arnold Schwarzenegger yes

According the Arnold Schwarzenegger yes

I guess I'll give em a try.

 

[extremefighter]

It could be quite a few factors.
You’re doing heavy squats and not breathing correctly. You should be exhaled during the squat and not holding the breath in.
GH/IGF-1 may have attached to the intestine lining.
Test - holding water
Your getting fat. Some get fat from the inside out.

peace

thats the dangerous "VICERAL FAT"

wich it the most unhealthy and insidious, and also hard to spot

This makes sense to me, especially the increased circumference stabilization part. I am squatting and dead lifting more now than I ever have. I dont think It's bloat or fat, I can actually see veins running across my upper abbs.

Thanks

 

[Muscle Overkill]

Do you have huge quads and ass well ? Cuz I swear I the biggest quads,ass and stomach I have ever seen on a person. Wondering if you have the same build ?

 

[Muscle Overkill]

bump

 

[jitc476]

I did many speed/aerobic sessions with trainers, and it was in our training regimen to get on our hands and knees, and flex our inner abdomen for 4-5 seconds 10-12 times for 3 sets. This was before any aas for me and i was around 12.5 bf.. i saw a definite 1.5-2 inch reduction in waist..the vaccuum does actually work

 

[solidspine]

vacumes

I have spoken to Arnold, he claims he was taking Amply 02 and that is why he could keep a 31 inch waist.

awsome bro

the final version will do just that probably

I know its leaning me out while lifting, and also "taking the water out" do to increase fat translocation , thermogenisis..........and of course added training intensity.

 

[NJjuice22]

Omega.....I agree with you on the squats increasing waist size big time. I stopped doing squats because my glutes were getting to muscular and i felt my waist was getting bigger. My waist is a 30- 32 right now and I dont want to increase it all....any suggestion on what i can do to put some mass strictly on my quads?..

 

[OMEGA]

Use Leg Presses as your mass builder

then finish with Hack Squats or high reps Smith Squats

 

[Muscle Overkill]

What about hacks as a mass builder ? Its the same motion as squat your just not supporting the weight. I don't like leg presses for the simple fact that you inhale as you lower the weight. So you end with your lungs full and and your knees at your chest, add on the fact I have protruding abdomen and it makes for a very uncomfortable/unnatural position. Any suggestions.

 

[OMEGA]

learn to controll your abdomanals with leg presses , on the way down expell enough air to assure that abdominal pressure is sub maximum and I hold that postion and flex my abs, then harnmess the weight and drive through with the positive part of the motion

I prefer leg press over Hacks, hacks are just not gearned for driving hard like presses are

 

[sorerotators]

you taking creatine? i get some serious gut bloat with it. especially while on test.
