What bodybuilders looked like before GH

[JustGottaKnow]

It's amazing to me Arnold looked like that with all the supposed D-Bol he took. I'm just amazed.

None of the old school dudes had gyno that I am aware of, or atleast I have never seen a pic of one of them with puffy nips. Yes, that was very off topic. Just something I have noticed.

Yeah I've noticed that too. That had to have been taking something to combat estrogen - it's hard to believe those guys just popped and injected roids without knowing much about them.

I think that it is possible to get what some call a "GH gut" from doing lots of heavy squats and deadlifts. My waist is pretty thick, and yet I have never messed with the likes of GH and or insulin. Once my squats got up over 500 lbs, my waist really began to thicken up. Those muscles really work hard to stabilize the body under those heavy loads.

I have done gh squat 765 and dead over 600 and I can still hit vacuum poses just fine, its substance abuse, no if ands or butts.

Maybe todays gear is just bunk.

Well Ronnie will neer win a title again because he has the worst gh gut of all.

Ronnie is the man right now. There is nobody that can hang with him with the judging of the past few Mr. O's. I hope that this year he loses because of his gut. Maybe that will get his and the other monsters attention. Ronnie is freakishly huge all over not just the gut. If he would concentrate for a full year on gettting his mid-section in check then watch out. He will be unstoppable. Ronnie wants to win, period. If the judges say no more guts and hold to their guns then he will adapt and will still dominate. Or am I wrong? Can Ronnie's midsection be reversed? Is it too late?

If Ronnie reverted back to his '98 form when he won, he'd still win. He looked incredible then. Even up to 2000, I think he looked great. And he only weighed 255-260. Perfect. Then his gut took over.

right, food does not make your internal organs grow. however, talk to any of the guys at the national level and above, and they will tell you that the majority of distention comes from overeating.

when you consume large amounts of calories (6500-7500 per day) your stomach and associated abdominal muscles eventually begin to relax to accomodate the large amounts of food taken in. this is exacerbated by lying down after eating. ever look at a male silverback gorilla?

most of these guys are eating enormous amounts of food in the off season in order to gain weight, because as we have all seen mass rules the game right now. you wanna get big, you gotta eat. period.

you also have to take into account that the walls of muscle in these guy's abdomens become very, VERY thick over time with the heavy squats and deadlifting and general stress that the abs (and lower back really) go through during heavy lifting.

do steroids and growth hormone cause internal organs to grow? absolutely. there is no doubt that in an anabolic phase other tissues in the body grow besides just muscle.

however you cannot say that the distended bellies of the top mass monsters are due solely to the use of hgh. if is more likely due to the all out pursuit of mass (extreme amounts of food and drugs and heavy lifting) that is required to get to the top of the game.

these the same guys that'll tell you they're on 500mg/test a week and thats all?

Back then most of the older guys just talked about dbol and amino supplements and great dieting. But not to much about injecting. And those did't give a fuck about anything if they thought it was the norm they would have talked about it openly. BTw you never see any pics of those guys with all the sides that are noticed today when u see a guy that's juiced to the gills ie: huge jaw - zits - scar tissue buildup and that red face from being pumped all the time looking like your gonna explode at any minute. they just looked great
