Is he pregnant?
bodybuilders call this the bubble gut. It's caused by high calorie diet combined with steroid abuse
The real mistake is doing it when you've also swallowed potting soil and fertilizer. It's kind of like eating baking soda and vinegar, if you understand my meaning.
A lot of people are accusing him of using steroids but all you're seeing is the peak form of a middle aged Puerto Rican dude, manifested in the body of a tourist who wishes to embody the culture he's gentrifying.
People are saying steroids, but that's not entirely true, anabolic steroids don't cause this, but human growth hormone and possibly exogenous insulin use are most likely the culprit. Bodybuilders are well aware of this phenomenon and although we still aren't 100% sure the exact mechanism, this started happening to bodybuilders who started taking insulin and HGH (in addition to anabolics) in the late 90s and early 00s. Either one, or both of these drugs cause the organs in the torso to grow (among other things) which causes what bodybuilders coined, Palumboism, named after the first guy to show up on stage with a noticable gut despite good conditioning (low body fat).
cause the organs in the torso to grow
That sounds...incredibly dangerous.
Why would I not want an enlarged liver? I got more liver now, it works more!
Yep, It is. The biggest danger being heart tissue hypertrophy, which has sadly taken the life of a few modern bodybuilders due to cardiac arrest (it can't pump blood effectively if the muscle walls get too thick). Don't take human growth hormone and/or exogenous insulin outside of medican supervision kids!
It's the price you have to pay to look like a caraciture of a healthy person
I'm more intrigued by the fact that he doesn't appear to have nipples
baffling, can't you juice without getting roid gut? The hollywood guys seem to manage it
Ate too much meat, got constipated, is now full of poopie
Yes many a fuckboy has fallen into it. I saw it happen too many times and such a short time.
He looks like a creature with acid for blood is about to burst through hist stomach
looks like the steroid elves snuck into his house while he was sleeping and secretly pumped him fulla juice. tragic, happens to the best of us
