to be honest in some cases this will be true lol. Whether it be morning of, night before, in between shows etc. my mate ate prob 8k Cals between pre and finals last time he competed.

 

Oh far out.  I had no idea the carb up deal was so aggressive.  #NotJelly lol

oh bro it's not always.. Some do huge ones, some do mod, some small, some none.. Really differs from person to person show to show. I'm just saying in SOME cases a big belly could actually be caused by a lot of food. If you look at my journal you will see why I am sporting one right now lol

In other words.. "please look at my journal".. attention seeker much? Ha ha ha

The bloated belly onstage on the big guys is attributed to increase internal organ size and water retention as well as eating lots of calories through the off season. Then of course you have a guy like Jay Cutler.. arguably one of the biggest guys ever who never sported the bloat. Soooo.. who effing knows..

Yeah Arnie must be real jealous lol. It is what it is, as bodybuilders get bigger you cant expect their waist line to get smaller really. 

 

Its a shame though, as people used to aspire to look like arnold, franco, serge just to name a few. Nowadays its just a freak show showing experiments, rather than art. Sounds gay when i put it like that.

They don't all look like the ones that you posted. You just picked all the fat bellied ones.

 

 Also, there are still bodybuilders like Arnold out there. Calum Von Moger, Aaron Curtis, Mike O'hearn, Phil Heath, and my relative Nathan Roe, just to name a few.

Couple of points missed: 1

1) Arnold was 230lb ish max at 6'2" on stage, people pay to see guys 250-280 in IFBB Pro League (admittedly shorter guys can be less e.g. Dexter but Phil & say Justin Compton are 250 ish at 5'8" and less).

2) Competitors named above with one obvious exception are not IFBB Pros, and would look small on stage.

3) Most of the pictures showing bloated mid sections are caught between poses - for those who have competed you'll know how hard you breathe between poses and letting your stomach show is tough though you always try and stay tight.

4) The guy about to late spread is probably practising a rear shot, often gut is pushed out to keep lower back, which is all the judges see, tight.

I still agree with Arnold though, and I think if they start penalising for distended guts we'll see a better look while still seeing huge freaks on stage. Perhaps vacuums will become a fashionable exercise again lol
