Additional long-term effects may include fluid retention, which may lead to ankle swelling, hypertension, headache, diabetes, and cardiomyopathy. Richard Holt, a British researcher, in his 2013 study in the Indian Journal of Endocrinology & Metabolism, suggests that many athletes are taking much higher doses than those used therapeutically, it is possible that features of acromegaly may become apparent with prolonged use.
But I didn’t find many reports on normal people taking GH or insulin, even in high doses, having a problem of bubble gut. But doctors prescribing their patients GH, for a growth retardation issue, or any other related medical problem, don’t tell their patients of any such side effect. When it comes to GH, the average intake of a bodybuilder is around 4-8iu for intermediate ones, to maybe 18-30iu or more/day for advanced bodybuilders. Insulin, may not be an issue, because, diabetics around the world, take much higher doses every day than a bodybuilder, but you won’t see diabetics with big guts unless of course, they are fat. But, there are extremely limited studies, highlighting this aspect of bodybuilding.
The Bubble Gut is said to be caused due to prolonged abuse of Human Growth Hormone, Insulin & IGF. are no longer a hidden secret or a coach’s secret concoction. Most people wonder what causes these large guts to protrude out, despite the extremely low-fat percentages.Īnabolic steroids, Growth Hormones, Insulin, IGFs, etc. distorted guts or bubble gut is a commonality they share. I checked on various organizations and their top bodybuilding athletes, be it IFBB, IBBF, WABBA, etc. Its either they themselves or their stupid coaches, who are doing this to them. The athletes with protruding belly or bubble gut are to be disqualified, no questions asked. Anything which destroys a sport, is a serious issue to be dealt with and dealt with firmly. I’m sick of this, and the issue no longer is a mystery. Pregnant men would be a more appropriate term. Take up any national and international bodybuilding event, and you would see, men looking more like banyan trees than Greek Gods, with protruding/bulging bellies, also called the Bubble Gut, everywhere. Pregnant men? I mean seriously? Is that how low this game has stooped to. What could have stopped there and then, had Yates wouldn’t have got the massive publicity and wins he got, actually turned out to be a norm, which changed the eye-popping gesture of the audience and the ‘wows’ and ‘oohs’, to ‘yuk’ and ‘gosh’. The downfall started in the early 90s, with Dorion Yates being the first of the kind of freakish mass monsters to enter the world of bodybuilding. We want to see the most beautiful man, the most athletic man.”īodybuilding has turned upside down. We don’t want to see stomachs sticking out. “ It’s unacceptable the way bodybuilding is going. The beautiful sport of Bodybuilding, known for words like pain & sacrifice, symmetry & size, beauty & proportion was replaced by words like bubble gut, ugly & big, monster & mass, distorted.
