Distended Abdomens?

[bugaboo0]

I was recently at a bodybuilding/figure show where that was 2 IFBB pro guest posers. One was talking about the distended guts and how that is an issue but lots of pros and pro-wanna-bees have them. What causes this and how can I avoid it. I am female figure competitor but some have it too especially the bodybuilder ones.

I think it is from doing lots of HGH and peptides. It makes the intestines grow just like the muscles. I dnt know if this is true its just what I have read. Hopefully someone else who knows more can clarify

i was actually wondering the same thing. from what ive read( heres the short version) is that HGH or IGF(which is what HGH is ultimately converted to in your body) acts on IGF receptors in your body. now, most IGf receptors or maybe its the highest concentration of these are located in the intestines which would explain the distended abdomen. im no expert and im sure there are other causes, this is what i gather from what ive read so far.

sometimes it can be because of the masive amounts of food they eat
