Has there been medical studies on "Palumboism" ?

[Tracker54]

Seems like there's cases of the dreaded Palumboism popping up these days, most 40 +/- YO guys. They all seem to have been using hormones for the same amount of time, between 15-20 years. It also seems to develop pretty fast, only taking a few years to go from normal to palumbo. I guess the increased size of intestines has been known for quite some time, but the (often asymmetrical) atrophy in legs and arms is pretty interesting...Aren't those the same things older people go experience, when Test and Estrogen levels drops?

I wonder if there's been any serious studies on this, or if the 90s era guys are just living Guinna Pigs at the moment.







etc.

gear abuse, synthol and HGH

strong WTF at greg kovacs, wasnt he ment to be the next big thing?

[TheDeeJ]

Wtf is that bellybutton.

[TruckDriver66]

I think it happens because muscle grows proportionally with belly (organs) on HGH abuse. Then they lose muscle mass (palumbo and kovacz tried to diet down). So they actually diet down their muscle mass but big organs in the belly stay big.

[clancy91089]

you can have the best muscle building genetics in the world, but if you have bad sides to gear you not gonna go very far.

[TruckDriver66]

btw this is palumbo in his prime



he is looking like a ****ing gorilla, when he dieted down he lost muscle mass but his organs stayed the same size

probably most affected cuz he used to much GH...i read somewhere he has insane feet size (due to GH)

wat? synthol and aas cause your stomach to distend? doubt they put synthol in their abs mang but you're on the right track. It is caused from visceral fat build up from insulin and gh ( less the gh more the insulin ) when you use an excess of sugar with insulin, I can't explain exactly why it happens but this is the cause. This is also why most pro's have a big pushed out gut but still have visible abs, it's pushed out because of the fat underneath the muscle pushing it.

I know this thread is very old but palumboism is affecting every day more bbers. They start getting an enormeous belly. I don't like that belly but judges seems to acept or bypass it, since there's no subq fat. I know palumboism is a normal aging process. My father has it, my grandma had palumboism.... Hgh is known for antiaging propieties and legally prescribed for that purpose so wtf?? Old people have a few things in common: their hgh is low, their test is low, their caloric intake is low, and their activity is low too. But bbers with palumboism, have everything high. Kovacs had strong palumboism at 33, bostin loyd with 21 has already the first signs and we all know that he's not low at test and hgh either... But mike o hearn with 46 has no palumboism sings at all and looks everyday better. So what happens. Someone speculates that hgh makes limbs longer, so the muscles are more stretched and get smaller. Different from a fitnessmodel like o hearn, bbers have offseason. They don't stay lean year round. That's anoter reason, they get really fat, like they were pregnant, so everything in the belly area gets distended, i'd say inclusive the waist bones, I think the same happens to older people, they usually get fat in their later 50s, and when they reach 70, they get automatically leaner, but the belly area remains distended. That's the only explaination i got so far, I try to go on researching, I don't want to get a new palumbo. Nooo. And If you look closely its kind of absurd. These people, are trying to get a big limb small waist ratio, but finally and ironically, their result is the exact opposite....

I also put 'spilling out' down to visceral fat.



Some bodybuilders I know have the broscience that the growth is site specific and so you should pin the chit somewhere other than your abs.

[SwedishGiant]

The Word you are searching for is Acromelagi. At least in swedish its spelled that way. Should be something similiar in english.

Google it, interesting.

That's what happens when you abuse GH and insulin like these guys do.

[XxAndreaxX]

Maybe synthol ****s up their limbs, and insulin and hgh messes with their guts. Don't know but they look very messed up, every mr O came back pregnant last year someone more someone less. And its not really pleasant to see.

[khaled99]

Yeah, the gut is more attributed to insulin, but mega-dosing gh doesn't help either, these guys do doses of cell-tech and gh that your average gym user wouldnt use in a life-time...

Seriously... the last IFBB guy that looked real was Frank Zane, these guys look like freak shows.

waaaayyyyy too much slin. srs.

It's not from Fat? Fat covers your abs why would it push it out?? It's From HGH enlarging your intestines,at 1st the intestines get so big tthey start pushing out of your belly button then if youve had an op after that then your abs start to seperate due to the intestines having nowhere to go!

[jaysonr0]

hahahahah you guys are so mistaken hgh does not make your waist bigger, the palumboism or "roid gut" everyone talks about is the cause of igf-1 the insulin mixed with the gh, thats what i heard, at least from the pros that i know, because dude lmao gh are you kidding me that grows your intestines with high dosages and very very prolonged use but so does everything! your bones, your cok, like evverything so it seems like it evens you out, it seems to me like these pros are jut fukking too much with igf

[Perfectbrah213]

We don't care about palumboism we're fukkin freaks baby

[lAmTheLiquor]

Anyone who hates on palumboism is just a cookie cutter porno addict.

[steelnub]

my guess is that androgen receptors get so worn out they don't fukkin work anymore like when a porno addict abuses their angus and it doesnt hold doodoo anymore

[lolnattylifting]

insulin and GH.

the downfall of bodybuilding.

this is why the 70's physiques were much more pleasing, they didn't use/abuse that chit.
