bodybuilders call this the bubble gut. It's caused by high calorie diet combined with steroid abuse

Poor dude swallowed watermelon seeds

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Fuck didn't know eating watermelon could be so dangerous

Clearly you've never seen The Rugrats.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

The real mistake is doing it when you've also swallowed potting soil and fertilizer. It's kind of like eating baking soda and vinegar, if you understand my meaning.

A lot of people are accusing him of using steroids but all you're seeing is the peak form of a middle aged Puerto Rican dude, manifested in the body of a tourist who wishes to embody the culture he's gentrifying.

Trenbolone has nothing on rice and beans and fried plantains

People are saying steroids, but that's not entirely true, anabolic steroids don't cause this, but human growth hormone and possibly exogenous insulin use are most likely the culprit. Bodybuilders are well aware of this phenomenon and although we still aren't 100% sure the exact mechanism, this started happening to bodybuilders who started taking insulin and HGH (in addition to anabolics) in the late 90s and early 00s. Either one, or both of these drugs cause the organs in the torso to grow (among other things) which causes what bodybuilders coined, Palumboism, named after the first guy to show up on stage with a noticable gut despite good conditioning (low body fat).

cause the organs in the torso to grow

That sounds...incredibly dangerous.

I can hear it!

Yep, It is. The biggest danger being heart tissue hypertrophy, which has sadly taken the life of a few modern bodybuilders due to cardiac arrest (it can't pump blood effectively if the muscle walls get too thick). Don't take human growth hormone and/or exogenous insulin outside of medican supervision kids!

It's the price you have to pay to look like a caraciture of a healthy person

He's wearing a fat suit. Probably to get attention on social media (like from this post).

Just searched for this on TikTok and for sure it’s a suit. It’s not a horrible one, but it’s still very noticeable.
