why are pro BBers so fugly?

[Bozzman]

I don't mean to give in to an antagonsitic comment such as yours Mr juice, but I'm a sucker for science.

The features you are explaining are related to the exogenous gH. Exessive endogenous gH leads to a condition called acromegaly or acro-meaning "extremities/hands" and -megaly meaning "enlargement of". After puberty the epiphyseal plates or growth plates close. This is where the growth of all our long bones comes from. Closure is stimulated from the increase in testosterone during the end of puberty. The is why it is not good for people to take testosterone before puberty. Their growth plates may close too early. Anyways after these plates have closed if there is still excessive amounts of gH the hands, feet, and head and other organs over time will grow making them disproportionate to the rest of the body. Remember Andre the giant, he suffered from acromegaly. Other problems associated with acxromegaly includes diabetes, anuerysms, blindness, cardiomegaly, severe arthritis...

It's so rare that the pros get their pics taken in off-season. All you ever see in the mags is them ripped and contest-ready, or nearly so. So the few pics of them bloated and deformed are really more inspirational to me. Mike Matarazzo was just saying in Flex how much fluid he retains when off-season (read, "on gear".) I saw a pic of 5' 4" Lee Priest and God knows how much shit he was pumping into him, he looked like a deformed freak. I am so jealous.

Of course, my face (and my body!!!) look nothing like that on my driver's license anymore!

Actually Bozzman, estrogen is the main culprit behind epiphyseal closure, this is why women are typically shorter than men (and the fact that they start puberty earlier). Also acromegaly is a genetic condition, skeletal disfigurment due to growth hormone abuse is not medically considered acromegaly. The main culprit behind this is excess gh production (often due to a pituary tumor). For unknown reasons, when this condition occurs while skeletal growth is still possible (gigantism) the epiphyseal plates often do not close when they should. For some unknown reason the high levels of gh extend the window of bone growth well past its normal 18-21 year limit. The tallest man in recorded history, Robert Wadlow at 8' 11", was still growing at the time of his death at 23 years of age. I believe he died of a foot infection.

Alot of the comments here reflect the reasons why so many people say BBers have low self esteems.

People who are confidant dont NEED to get up in your face and tell you "Hey im a stud and your a fag"

People who have either issues with thier height, with the size of thier package, with thier looks etc feel the need to jump righ tin your face and reassure you that they dont have any issues, and are the epitome of Godliness.

Like Yoss said, its a valid question. If you aint ugly yet, why would you want to push it? I dont care if your 5' 4" weigh 200lbs and are ugly and you pull chicks., I dont car eif your 6' 2" 220lbs, look good and pull chicks. Who cares?

Some of us work different attributes to pull the chicks. Some of us use hiehgt, a nice face, good personality, good physique, others use power, money, fame, stature, etc. Neither is more valid than


I agree



the other. We all use what we got, so why rag n someone for wanting to keep something hes got.
