Re: Tools to fight belly bloat ?
I have been curious about this for years now. Even when I am at 6%bf I still have a huge stomach that sticks out. I have never ran HGH or slin which I had thought would cause this, but it pisses me off. If I have a shirt on, people actually think I have a big fat stomach even when Im in the single digit bf range, because it sticks out so far when Im not paying attention and keeping it tight. I have tried many things and it will not go away. I have an appointment with a stomach/GI specialist in a week to get some tests done for some issues im having, so Im going to see if he knows what could be the cause. But I have to disagree with those saying its the diet, because I have it whether Im on a 1500cal diet or a 4000-5000 cal diet.

Re: Tools to fight belly bloat ?
Nice to see some intrest in this topic ... seems like it's more common to those who have been around awhile then the newbies.
Any suggestions out there for a fix ??
Would be nice to get back to helping BB related issues then dealing with members personal issues and laundry for a change
So how about it ?? Any suggestions on a bodybuilding related topic

instead of "your", replace with "his"
The root of most problems for bodybuilders is diet.

Re: Tools to fight belly bloat ?
I've always felt like if the gut bloat wasn't there on me during bulking, that I'm not eating enough. People always have their trouble areas, but I've seen the bloated gut phenomenon and would like to think that it's diet related. Physical structure of your body dictates that you have abs, that they can't grow too huge, and that you collect fat in the gut area? So it has to be either water bloat or fat, anyone?

Re: Tools to fight belly bloat ?
I have the same thing and been wondering myself what the root cause is .
For some strange reason i seem to breath from my stomache area , it's easier to breath with my stomache going in and out then it is expanding my ribcage and breathing high if you would call it that .
I can stike a pose and show off my ab's but i can also stick out my gut like a basketball is under my skin so why is that ?
Like why do those children in 3rd world countries that are starving have bloated bellies yet they are dying from starvation , here i have this nice muscular body yet i can jut out this rock hard boulder and i seem to breath lower in my abdomin .
Does anyone think there could possibly be a corilation between more muscle mass in the chest making it more difficult to expand properly so breathing is down lower , just a thought i'm not a doctor or anything

Ya the good old transverse , natures own girdle
The olny excersise i know to strengthen it or tighten it is going down prone on all fours , then exhaling all your air and let the tummy hang then without drawing a breath suck the stomach in as tight as possible and hold for 1 minute taking shallow breaths through your nose . Release and repeat

Re: Tools to fight belly bloat ?
Usually during a cut diet you're on a much more restricted diet, as in variety of foods. A good balanced diet includes fruits & veggies and just a greater variety of food, which chances are better that you probably get that on a bulker or just "off season". Also stuff like broccoli is just not conducive to "easy digestion". I'm a HYUGE fan of doing a detox diet (juicing, lots of fruits, etc.) at least 1x/year after being on that restricted diet. I also include a couple rounds of colon cleanse. Its not wonderful but it's not gonna hurt either.
