Bodybuilding and Steriods- Roid Gut the End of the Aesthetic Physique

Okay here's a subject that really gets my blood boiling.
Bodybuilding is intended to be the creation of the perfect
physique...right? That means that the chest, shoulders, legs,
arms and back are suppose to be developed to their full
potential while keeping the waist muscular but small. Some
bodybuilders may have one genetically gifted part that has a
tendency to be superior to another part. The normal goal is to
emphasize the training of the weaker body part while curtailing
training to the more responsive body part. This is done to
obtain proportional muscle size. In achieving the perfect
physique, the waist is meant to be small compared to upper body
parts and the legs. The smaller the waist the more dramatic the
surrounding muscles appear. The Back will look like a flared
cobra's head when attached to a tiny waist. I remember the
physiques of the past, Arnold, Bob Birdsong, Franco Columbo, Bob
Paris and Frank Zane achieved this dynamic look. Darin
Lannaghan, Bill Davey and Stan McQuay have produced this look in
modern day bodybuilding though they may never be seen at the
Arnold Classic

Competition.
So What's Changed?
In mid 80's, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and Insulin became
popular drugs with professional bodybuilders. The net result,
with these top level competitors, is the "Roid Gut". Now days,
we have bodybuilders sporting a 40-46" waists. I am guessing, of
course, since no competitor would dare share the mammoth size of
their waistlines. If they did, I would bet they would shave the
number down an inch or two. Unfortunately, the Roid Gut has a
repulsive appearance contrary to the original intent of the
sport. When Jay Cutler in his early years hit national
prominence, his youthful physique still had the small waist.
Today, Jay's waist is absolutely gross. Sure he may weighs 270+
lbs, but also he sports a waist line of a sumo wrestler. Most of
the top bodybuilders, Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates and Craig
Titus, all exhibit this similar phenomenon. These competitors
are simply meeting the expectation of what the judges are
condoning and encouraging by accepting this look at as the
"champion" physique.
I am writing this article to discourage the use

of these drugs.
They are sucking the lifeblood out of the Sport, destroying the
potential aesthetics of the physique, and taking the
bodybuilding back to the freak show era of the past. THIS SHOULD
NOT BE!
HGH, "Huge Gut Hormone?"
Okay so what does HGH do to the body? In a normal person, HGH is
produced by the body and causes the normal body growth process.
The HGH drug was originally developed for children that
exhibited stunted growth and were found to have a low production
of this hormone. Doctors would administer HGH in small amounts
to stimulate a normal growth pattern.
In a few people, HGH production is overactive (from birth) it
can also create person of gigantic proportions. Andre the Giant
had this condition. Robert Wadlow was another and he grew to be
7'11". He had many health problems and died at a very early age.
If HGH is administered to an adult, muscle growth restarts. HGH
is very different than steroids. HGH causes production of new
cells. Steroids cause only the enlargement of existing cells.
The new cell growth seems to target only with the

and rarely skeletal system. Unfortunately, not only are the
muscles cells multiplying but so are the internal muscles like
the intestines and heart. Furthermore, organs, like the liver,
kidneys and pancreas are growing too. When the growth of these
internal muscles and organs occur in a fixed chest cavity, there
is only one direction for this extra mass to go and that is out
the abdominal area. Starting to get the picture?
Insulin's Additive Affect
Now what is insulin's affect on the body? Insulin is a super
steroid that funnels the nutrients and sugar into muscle. When
combined with hard workouts, recovery is very quick. Properly
taken, it drives cell growth better than any other steroid.
However if you screw up in taking insulin at the wrong time or
dosage, you can throw yourself into insulin shock and die. Also
long term use can make you a diabetic, a condition that shortens
life. When Insulin is combined with HGH, the muscles are set to
make significant gains.
The downside of insulin is that it is also active in creating

in the event of starvation. These
fat deposits are stored internally to body and not on the
exterior muscles. This is wonderful for the bodybuilder's
appearance but not for this health. These fat deposits called
visceral fat are found around the internal organs of the liver,
pancreas, heart and kidneys. Couple this additional weight with
growth of the internal muscles and organs and you have enough
extra mass to create a really protruding Roid Gut.
"Side Bar" Story Let me tell you one story that comes to mind
back in the very early 80's. Tim Belknap, then a great in the
world of bodybuilding, announced that he was diabetic. I have no
reason to doubt he was, but I am now convinced that Tim found
the secret to using insulin to maximize his bodybuilding
potential. During that era, Tim was by far the most vascular
bodybuilder on the scene. I also notice, he had a
semi-protruding waistline. At the time I felt sorry for Tim
being handicapped with diabetes but admired that he had
accomplish a world class physique under this condition. Now
looking back, I am sure Tim was able to apply his insulin to

You be the Judge
I am convinced that these "super heavy weight" competitors at
270+ lbs might really weigh 240 or so if you stripped the mass
out of their guts. But then again they might only weigh 220 if
they lost the additional muscularity as a result of these two
drugs. Let's return to the aesthetic builds of a few years past.
I hope that even if judges don't award the small waist
competitor the winning trophy, you will agree, that creating a
Roid Gut is neither attractive nor healthy!
