Yesterday I went to the Nabba Wellington Champs and up until the Open mens class everything was going smoothly. THEN..... We had 6 guys walk onstage for the Open Mens and one had THE MOST revolting GH gut you have ever seen,he thought he would win just because he was the biggest and it looked like he was going to throw a hissy fit when he didn't get called out...none of the other guys engaged with him onstage either... I could barely look at the stage witout wanting throw up and guaging the reaction I think most of the audience felt the same way... I can understand the pro's using this kind of stuff but when you're at a purely amateur level,what would motivate someone to do this?? I mean all the other guys in his class were on gear but none of them looked like that...and as for his droopy boobies..wel thats a complete other story  |

At some of the contests I`ve done,I see a lot of this.......the sad part is these guys are often rewarded with a first place win just because they are huge,GH gut aside!! #akicksballs2hu#
I did the NPC Massachusettes Chakpionship a few times, and one year, there were two national level competitors in the show,they both looked great, but their guts were humongous.
They both were shocked when all natural lightweight bodybuilder, Paul Thompson, who weighed in at 154 pounds took the overall title.
I had big respect for the judges that day.
I have a shot of me and Paul comparing side tricep shots on my website.....Paul is also national level in the NPC and has won a ton of contests and class wins.

to be fair, alot of folks and I count Art Atwood and myself in this group, are very swaybacked. that can make us LOOK like we have a gut until you see us from the side.
ON the otherhand, at the Europa show it was clearly obvious King Kamali was doing his best to hide his. Mike Ergas, who was working a booth made no effort to hide his.
Thats why Paco Bautista's transformation from synthol, gyno and gut poster boy to winner is so great.

True enough, Brock. Looks can be deceiving. But it's another thing when you look 8 months pregnant!
Someone told me that misuse of insulin can lead to a gut like that. Not sure if there is any truth in that.

I didn't see the guy of course so I can't say. I think unless it's a drug tested event it's someting that you're going to see and the judges shouldn't necessarily mark the competitior down because of it. I wouldn't mark a guy down unless it was an extreme mess like it sounds this guy had allowed himself to become. I know alot of you won't agree but had to put in my 2 cents worth.  |

Fair enough Mike-you are right,if the rest of the condition is on,then a competitor shouldn't be penalised-everyone has weaknesses. In this case,the guys presentation was poor and he was just big and not all that lean. The guy that won definitely had the best overall package.

I have seen the same situation at shows the same guys with the gh guts always seem to have an attitude to go with it!
I guess I too old school when it comes to physiques I like the V shaped small waisted look!
Saw an old pic of Bernard Sealy in the first Masters Olympia the other day, wow what a taper!

Bernard Sealy is a fantastic vbodybuilder who never really got the placings he deserved.
No gut on Sealy,,because he was a real bodybuilder not a chemist.

I have nothing good to say about this stuff. All I can say is that I believe that the best conditioned athelete should win.

Agree with you all! We hear that bodybuilding is about size, proportions and symmetry… but looking at some of today's champs, i sometimes dont believe this! Bodybuilding is more about size, size and size and since GH guts are not marked down, some bodybuilders keep adding mass at the expense of an esthetic look ! But good news, guys like Dugdale, Henry, Jackson, Charles and Heath are still doing good in this sport...
