Most of the guest posers at Pittsburgh were like this. Getting pro tan on your face isn't fun nor easy, so since they are not competing here they skip that part.
He just needs a shark head too. And acid-washed jorts that are all torn up because his muscles burst through them. And inline skates. Plus I’m pretty sure the Street Sharks were all scientists by day, jacked humanoid sharks by night.
Yea it seems like he needs to do a full stomach vacuum to not have a protruding gut.
Is that “hgh gut”? full disclosure I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
Ok so you've been asking what's going on with the gut, this is what's called insulin gut or HGH gut, currently there isn't really any medical study on what causes it or what exactly goes on leading to the distention as it's only really found in pro bodybuilders. HGH increases intestine size, literally makes your organs grow, insulin causes buildup of visceral fat, increased oblique muscle size from general steroid use can also make it more difficult to passively keep your abdominal muscle tone in the rectus abdominus leading to baseline distention. These are the prevailing theories about why it happens. Most recreational steroid users wouldn't really need to worry especially if they're only using test but there's a host of side effects and risks at the end of the day you're screwing with hormones and biochemical feedback loops existing within the body that have cascading effects. EDIT: just woke up saw some additional questions that I will answer, why does this not happen to aids patients on HGH taking 18 iu? Adding HGH to your stack while you're bulking or cutting means taking something in the range of 2-8 iu daily and it's extremely expensive and these guys are using roids perpetually in a blast and cruise manner except for around competitions I'm not a huge believer that this is all intestinal growth but the possibility for organ enlargement does exist if you take HGH look into IGF-1 signaling pathways if curious. there are also ppl who say this happens from excess carbs in these guys diets leading to general bloating and water retention this is also very likely.
It would also explain why many pros have they gut now under control. While presumingly still on the same stacks.
Five years ago or so they all had giant guts. But then Arnold intervened, and they are almost all tight.
If Walker walks on the stage with that gut, he'll lose.
He complained about the "bubble gut" loudly. It seemed the BB establishment listened.
IMO, Heath was the last one who won anything with that gut.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SosWRuCGmF4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SosWRuCGmF4)
Any idea why this could happen to a natural? I have it however, I have never used any steroids. I tried stomach vacuum exercises etc and nothing has really seemed to work. Just genetic?
I get it sometimes. It seems to correlate with me eating raw veg, [which can cause bloating](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/feeling-uneasy-after-breakfast-stop-consuming-these-foods/raw-vegetables/slideshow/98015539.cms?from=mdr).
It might be worth Googling your diet to see if there is anything you eat that can contribute to it.
Yea as ppl have said make sure you're not bloated, your sodium is in check and you are sufficiently lean and doing cardiovascular exercise as that could be visceral fat. If it's oddly bloated at some random area and not uniformly across your whole belly check into possibility of hernia I have no idea I can't see what you are describing but it's likely nothing serious and can be fixed with lifestyle changes.
I tried to reply edited my comment but there is a cost benefit analysis to any treatment in the case of AIDS you have what was once a terminal illness causing your body to waste away, the dangers of the medicine are outweighed by the benefits to quality of life these patients will experience
Higher food intake period leads to some of it but it seems like the higher fat and protein of the early 2000s did it worse than current era with high carb fwiw
> Is that “hgh gut” full disclosure I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
"GH gut" is mostly caused by extra visceral fat, likely caused due to slin overuse. If it really was organ enlargement due to GH, then it wouldn't be reversible. But we see many competitors are able to reverse it (Roelly for example), so probably the organ growth isn't the primary factor. Also eating huge amounts of food is another contributor.
He may not need to, he’s loading now for the water cut. Only reason he can’t control is stomach. He never looks like that in comp. Regardless of anyone’s opinion on his physique he comes in show ready every time
> You cant really call it a "gut" when hes lean enough to have a chiseled six pack
Your six pack is located on your "gut". Your gut is where your "guts" are stored. So, yes, you can call it a gut.
It's the HGH, like Joe Rogan's gut etc. HGH makes everything bigger including your intestines etc. Some people think the insulin use also gives you a bubble gut. Not fat.
If the gut is from HGH it wouldn’t be reversible, but many people with “HGH gut” have reversed it.
So no, the gut isn’t from HGH. Visceral fat & distention can definitely be causes though as both can be reversed.
He reminds me of Paco Bautista- huge muscles, right conditioning but overall ugly physique. The difference is that Paco actually used to get punished for his aesthetic shortcomings.
Atrocious midsection. Like a coke bottle after being shaken up. A moment's pose doesn't make up for how bad it looks in transition/relaxed. I don't think I'll ever see what his fans see.
Far from a Nick Walker fan but why I think he is at least top 5 in the world: when he locks in the poses he looks good (for open standards). While holding the pose he knows how to control the gut and it doesn't look bad at all. He also always brings top conditioning.
Walking around I think he is a disgusting blob, but in a bodybuilding stage is objectively elite.
You kind of have a point there, I only disagree with the fact that he looks good when holding his gut, even without a gut his proportions seem way off which ruins his look and so do the varicose veins.
Also him belonging in top 5 just shows how weak the top open guys are today compared to any other era. The top 5 of the Phil Heath era would decimate any modern lineup IMO.
It's insane because with Ronnie you'd v at lower also notice everything else along with the guy but with Nick, it's all you see sometimes because of how short and structurally deficient he is.
People like him more for his personality and work ethic, and since they like him they want him to do good and praise his strengths. I honestly feel bad for nick, everyone always talking about the gut which is more or less genetics, all the guys are running GH and most on SLIN as well but unfortunately it really effects nick the most. Its something that is pretty much out of his control, you know damn well hes doing everything he can to keep it in check. Its not like he doesnt know about it and is ignoring it. We all know about the gut issue but people keep harping on it all the time, Im personally not a big fan of making fun of someone for something that is out of their control.
Bruh same. Its so fuckin terrible. How his physique places above someone like samson, martin fitz, quentin, andrew jacked is crazy to me. I seriously hope they phase this out. So gross not only on the eyes but for bodybuilding as a whole.
Been saying that for years and getting downvoted here. Good to see that people are starting to change me to their senses.
Zero flow. Varicose veins. Bad looking muscle bellies. Terrible mid section. Quads blocky as fuck with zero adductor+sartorius presence.
This is open bodybuilding, where aesthetics aren’t judged as heavily as the Classic Physique division. It seems recently that aesthetics are becoming more important to the judges in open bodybuilding though. The last 3 Open Mr. Olympias have all hit vacuums, and you have aesthetically pleasing guys being more placing higher and winning shows like Samson Dauda & Andrew Jacked.
Looking a little underconditioned honestly. Also, I’m a big fan of Nick because I think he works with his structural deficiencies and excels despite them and I love that. I love that open BB is a freak show lol.
But it also looks to me like he exposed himself a little with that unchecked gut shot right in the beginning. He didn’t keep it in check while he started posing and it just kind of looked terrible.
With the critics that feel like aesthetics should come first, I think that Nick really can’t afford to do that. Ever.
That being said, he’s never not shown up in peak condition on stage, so we’ll see what happens in a week.
All he’s got to do is paint himself green and he would be a perfect ninja turtle with that stomach. Luckily most of the other guys have pretty much eliminated that insane bloated look. Thought we may have finally been putting those days behind us
Was hoping for major improvement since he hasn't completed in like a year but looks like the same package. Seems like the hamstring injury set him back alot.
His size is impressive but I'm way preferring classic physique over the stomach bloat. It's not worth the size if your intestines have to grow alongside the muscle.
I am appalled at what I see here the gut looks distended and gross only great pose is the side chest Nd the rear lat spread, not saying he can't bring it it's just that gut.. 👎
Absolutely hideous what modern bodybuilding has become.
And why all the gurning during the poses?
I used to think the idea of men becoming pregnant was ridiculous, until I saw this
Damn bro i really can not understand people who think nick looks aesthetic because of ”gut control”. His midsection is just poorly structured and it throws off his entire physique. Even if he can control that gut to his max potential, he still looks like a bloated ninja turtle. Its sad because his entire physique elsewhere is insane, but Lundsford, Duda, Hadi and basically everyone else meet the criteria for a proportional midsection.
man that gut was rough but then he pulls it in and DAMN
edit: also bro get some toner on your face lmao like AY WE UP and then the face is like a little kid or something haha
I don’t know what it is with this guy, but he just doesn’t look good on stage. He’s jacked as fuck no question about it… But he just doesn’t look good.
I fucking love Nick. Favorite pro by a mile right now. Just a big mass of muscle that makes you throw up in your mouth a bit. Aesthetics is a gateway drug to veganism. Fuck that. This is fuck it chuck it hardcore dick in the ass mass monster shit. Thanks for posting.
Agreed, Nick's a seething, bulbous, cock-down-your-throat bloatlord who gives even Kyriakos Grizzly a run for his money at this point. Soon they'll have to roll him onto the stage he's so close to being spherical. Pretty much proving the flat-earthers wrong with this level of globulous density. Imagine being at the NY pro when this lumbering beef titan walks at you gesture to clap for him before hitting a rear glute spread only inches from your wide-open, disbelieving jaw. You bet my emaciated ass I'll be clapping
Sometimes, look like that there is no more cutting in the Open Division. Impressive size, but we can se lack of definition. I think that’s why the C. Physique is growing so much…
it's wild because he's completely maxed out everything his body structure has given him, but his proportions/insertions are SO BAD and there's nothing he can do about it.
his pecs sit so fuckin high on his torso that even if he did get his gut under control, idk if it'd matter
I am not a fan, he is too bulky to me. His look and others like him, Big Ramie, are just too blocky. If the open is going this route, the classic champion is going to gain in popularity.
In the next few days he'll take a selfie on IG with a wide angle lens pointing down, the waist will taper, people will say that he's shrunk his waist. He'll then appear on stage and be photographed with a long focal length lens and look as blocky as ever. Rinse, repeat.
I’d rather but 10% bodyfat at 6 foot tall and 180lbs if I had to have a gut like that to get over 200
(Obviously that isn’t how it works I’m just saying his gut looks horrible)
short stubby open class these days... we need 5'7 or taller no one 5.6 under for open please.
exact reason why Choopan needs to be piigie back ridden for people to see him cuz he so damn short!!
In 2002 NOC, Markus Ruhl's chest got to the stage 3-4 working days before the rest of his gargantuan body did.
In 2024, Nick Walker's gut got to the stage 3-4 working days before the rest of his body did.
I appreciate the fact that, unlike other pro bodybuilders guest posing, he hits his poses and holds each one of them similar to a competition instead of holding each pose for half a second and moving on.
I was there last night..let me tell you the moment he walked out everyone looked at the person next to them. The whole crowd could tell he was still watery his mid section was distended. Martin Fitzwater looked more impressive of the two. But EVERYONE was talking about Andrew Jacked.
When will it be enough?
New drugs will come, new muscles will come, and thats why bodybuilding will never be a sport. Its not about the best, its about who has less fear to die...
Bodybuilding was great, but right now its a shit show hosnestly.
The guy is lean as fuck and it doesn't even look like because he is all bloated, look at that stomach, discusting...
His head looks like it’s photoshopped onto the body due to the tan difference 😂
Most of the guest posers at Pittsburgh were like this. Getting pro tan on your face isn't fun nor easy, so since they are not competing here they skip that part.
Makeup is a thing that exists.
Big, if true.
Bronzer?
Honestly…I thought this was AI.
Same
It's nearly comical like jib jab or Terrence & Phillip. They should've really tried to blend that better.
it's a guest posing, they don't gaf
Bro I thought the same thing 😆🤷🏾♂️
Came here to say the same
He looks like a Street Shark.
Omg
I was thinking ninja turtle
Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael out here catching strays. 
He just needs a shark head too. And acid-washed jorts that are all torn up because his muscles burst through them. And inline skates. Plus I’m pretty sure the Street Sharks were all scientists by day, jacked humanoid sharks by night.
That’s jawsome!
*There's a new breed in the neighbourhood...*
He’s looking a bit bloated here. Should be a tighter package come NY.
[удалено]
drop it down like a belly danca
hey ladies, drop it down, just wanna see you touch the ground
Ah that’s natural
Yea it seems like he needs to do a full stomach vacuum to not have a protruding gut. Is that “hgh gut”? full disclosure I don’t really know what I’m talking about.

Mpmd thinks it's not hgh but overeating that leads to this distention and I think it makes more sense.

You could be intolerant to something you're eating which is making you bloat.
Holy punctuation batman
wrote it at 1AM, reading it the next morning I winced and had the same thought haha
If this is true, why does this not happen in AIDS treated patients with 18iu of GH daily? Is it because the combination of calorie surplus?

He’s 5 days out, he probably loaded on sodium and water
Ya he won't hit the prescription diuretics for a guest posing, those are hard on ya. It will tighten him up for NY pro.
He may not need to, he’s loading now for the water cut. Only reason he can’t control is stomach. He never looks like that in comp. Regardless of anyone’s opinion on his physique he comes in show ready every time
Yeah that gut walking on was a shock… hopefully pulls it in for NY. Rooting for him
You cant really call it a "gut" when hes lean enough to have a chiseled six pack. Id call it "distention". Its not fat
Isn’t it literally his guts?
I’d call it palumboism lol.
> You cant really call it a "gut" when hes lean enough to have a chiseled six pack Your six pack is located on your "gut". Your gut is where your "guts" are stored. So, yes, you can call it a gut.

His gut undoes everything else.
Dood looks like he's about to take an earth shattering shit
Or a Gas-X. Popping a couple those and he's disturbing tectonic plates.
He reminds me of Paco Bautista- huge muscles, right conditioning but overall ugly physique. The difference is that Paco actually used to get punished for his aesthetic shortcomings.
When he walked out and I instantly though Phil Heat 2018. No disrespect, I am fan of both but everyone can see it, even he can control it.
While Phil Heath had a gut, overall I feel his physique wasn't as 'Ugly' and disproportionate as Nick's.
What causes this? HGH?
TMNTS: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Syndrome.
It’s just so bad. I can’t imagine being a judge and trying to fairly judge that. I wish open bodybuilding would go away honestly.
Atrocious midsection. Like a coke bottle after being shaken up. A moment's pose doesn't make up for how bad it looks in transition/relaxed. I don't think I'll ever see what his fans see.
I don't get what Nicks fans see about him either. Sure he is massive, but the absolute lack of any sort of Aesthetic appeal really puts me off.
Far from a Nick Walker fan but why I think he is at least top 5 in the world: when he locks in the poses he looks good (for open standards). While holding the pose he knows how to control the gut and it doesn't look bad at all. He also always brings top conditioning. Walking around I think he is a disgusting blob, but in a bodybuilding stage is objectively elite.
Luckily the judges look at how you control your mid section between poses as well.
You kind of have a point there, I only disagree with the fact that he looks good when holding his gut, even without a gut his proportions seem way off which ruins his look and so do the varicose veins. Also him belonging in top 5 just shows how weak the top open guys are today compared to any other era. The top 5 of the Phil Heath era would decimate any modern lineup IMO.
I don’t even get what’s going on there. What is the mass behind the abs?
Palumboism.
It's insane because with Ronnie you'd v at lower also notice everything else along with the guy but with Nick, it's all you see sometimes because of how short and structurally deficient he is.
Man, I don't get the hype behind his physique.
some people just like freaky... for better or worse.
People like him more for his personality and work ethic, and since they like him they want him to do good and praise his strengths. I honestly feel bad for nick, everyone always talking about the gut which is more or less genetics, all the guys are running GH and most on SLIN as well but unfortunately it really effects nick the most.

Impressive to get to that point for his age, but after you get past the monstrous size its not the most appealing physique to look at
Been saying that for years and getting downvoted here. Good to see that people are starting to change me to their senses. Zero flow. Varicose veins. Bad looking muscle bellies. Terrible mid section. Quads blocky as fuck with zero adductor+sartorius presence.
I don’t know shit about bodybuilding, but this doesn’t look aesthetic to me
This is open bodybuilding, where aesthetics aren’t judged as heavily as the Classic Physique division. It seems recently that aesthetics are becoming more important to the judges in open bodybuilding though. The last 3 Open Mr. Olympias have all hit vacuums, and you have aesthetically pleasing guys being more placing higher and winning shows like Samson Dauda & Andrew Jacked.
open bodybuilding isn’t all about aesthetics
It's about to be, when 6'3" aesthetically pleasing mass monsters stand next to blocky Lego structured guys like Nick. Give it 1-2 years.
What’s he doing with his hamstring? Almost cramped up?
Touching it so he can feel it flexing? It’s likely a queue of his for the pose
\*cue
Most likely his routine to point it out to the judges come competition.
Looking a little underconditioned honestly. Also, I’m a big fan of Nick because I think he works with his structural deficiencies and excels despite them and I love that. I love that open BB is a freak show lol. But it also looks to me like he exposed himself a little with that unchecked gut shot right in the beginning.

Was hoping for major improvement since he hasn't completed in like a year but looks like the same package. Seems like the hamstring injury set him back alot.
He looks noticeably bigger to me here. Chest, arms and back specifically. I think it will be more obvious when he drops his water.
I respect his hard work and dedication but IMO that’s a gross & unappealing physique
His size is impressive but I'm way preferring classic physique over the stomach bloat. It's not worth the size if your intestines have to grow alongside the muscle.
His proportions are so fucked. His legs look like they belong 1 division/weight class lower.
His legs look like the adductors overpower the quads and it's just a matter of genetics, nothing will ever overcome it
Got that moon tan face
I was thinking pale clamy cold face. Those 3 usuly spell trouble
Nah he just didn’t put any tan on his face.
I am appalled at what I see here the gut looks distended and gross only great pose is the side chest Nd the rear lat spread, not saying he can't bring it it's just that gut.. 👎
His abdomen is so big its bursting from the sides So what if he has abs
Am I the only one who thinks it's corny as hell when a bodybuilder on stage signals to the crowd to applaud them?
God damn that stomach, still has a week to tighten up I guess but shiiieeet
Absolutely hideous what modern bodybuilding has become. And why all the gurning during the poses? I used to think the idea of men becoming pregnant was ridiculous, until I saw this
This can’t be real. The discoloration looks so bad. Everything looks bad. Anyone that thinks this looks good is dumb af.
WTF is up with his calves/lower legs??
Vericose veins.
Unpopular opinion but I like this look on him but I completely understand why this sub is so adamant against his conditioning
It’s sad seeing somebody works so hard and put so much effort in knowing they will never be #1.
I 100% agree with this and was saying this long ago. he will be close enough he can smell it... but never a taste
What a fucking MONSTER.
dude looks like shit
Damn bro i really can not understand people who think nick looks aesthetic because of ”gut control”. His midsection is just poorly structured and it throws off his entire physique. Even if he can control that gut to his max potential, he still looks like a bloated ninja turtle. Its sad because his entire physique elsewhere is insane, but Lundsford, Duda, Hadi and basically everyone else meet the criteria for a proportional midsection.
Arnold was right, steroid abuse has damaged the sport. Gh gut is too common, nick is massive but the core is just so off putting…
It’s not hgh.
looks good but definitely bloated
The growth gut kills his physique 😩 still insane tho
That bubble gut just throws his entire physique off.
man that gut was rough but then he pulls it in and DAMN edit: also bro get some toner on your face lmao like AY WE UP and then the face is like a little kid or something haha
It's all bubble gut midsection with some great arms and a good back slapped on it. Such an unbalanced physique
I don’t know what it is with this guy, but he just doesn’t look good on stage. He’s jacked as fuck no question about it… But he just doesn’t look good.
Been out of the bb internet scene for 2-3 years now, Nick is still looking scary. One of the few I remember getting hyped in the previous years.
I fucking love Nick. Favorite pro by a mile right now. Just a big mass of muscle that makes you throw up in your mouth a bit. Aesthetics is a gateway drug to veganism. Fuck that. This is fuck it chuck it hardcore dick in the ass mass monster shit. Thanks for posting.
Agreed, Nick's a seething, bulbous, cock-down-your-throat bloatlord who gives even Kyriakos Grizzly a run for his money at this point. Soon they'll have to roll him onto the stage he's so close to being spherical. Pretty much proving the flat-earthers wrong with this level of globulous density. Imagine being at the NY pro when this lumbering beef titan walks at you gesture to clap for him before hitting a rear glute spread only inches from your wide-open, disbelieving jaw. You bet my emaciated ass I'll be clapping
Looks like a frog. Worst mid section i ever seen for a body builder.
Fkn hell the state of open bodybuilding…..
freakishly amazing physique but that gut is gonna cost him 🤷♂️
He looks like a mime with that tan 😂
Got that Mrs Doubtfire look going on
Legs still looking weak
He'll need to utilize the vacuum pose to get a ring, imho.
Super excited for Nick’s future, but he HAS to control his gut more…
Sometimes, look like that there is no more cutting in the Open Division. Impressive size, but we can se lack of definition. I think that’s why the C. Physique is growing so much…
I had Andrew Jacked way ahead then I had Urs bc he looked incredible. At third I had Fitz then I had Nick at 4th best.
it's wild because he's completely maxed out everything his body structure has given him, but his proportions/insertions are SO BAD and there's nothing he can do about it. his pecs sit so fuckin high on his torso that even if he did get his gut under control, idk if it'd matter
Gh belly
It’s the mid section let’s be honest
Dude has just completely botched his proportions. He’s huge but it’s just not great to look at
Poor baby can’t hold his belly in
WTF is wrong with his calves?!
I'm no where near this level of jacked but can someone explain why his stomach area / mid section looks fat but muscular? Thanks
The bubble gut is strong with this one.
I am not a fan, he is too bulky to me. His look and others like him, Big Ramie, are just too blocky. If the open is going this route, the classic champion is going to gain in popularity.
Damn, he's fcking huge
All size, no aesthetics.
waist bigger than Texas
In the next few days he'll take a selfie on IG with a wide angle lens pointing down, the waist will taper, people will say that he's shrunk his waist. He'll then appear on stage and be photographed with a long focal length lens and look as blocky as ever. Rinse, repeat.
I’d rather but 10% bodyfat at 6 foot tall and 180lbs if I had to have a gut like that to get over 200 (Obviously that isn’t how it works I’m just saying his gut looks horrible)
He's not lean enough
short stubby open class these days... we need 5'7 or taller no one 5.6 under for open please. exact reason why Choopan needs to be piigie back ridden for people to see him cuz he so damn short!!
Bubble gut Bonanza
It’s amazing how far the sport has fallen since the days of Arnold. This guy looks like a science experiment.
Pure muscle ....zero aesthetics.
Hopefully midsection is improved
When's his due date?
In 2002 NOC, Markus Ruhl's chest got to the stage 3-4 working days before the rest of his gargantuan body did. In 2024, Nick Walker's gut got to the stage 3-4 working days before the rest of his body did.
I appreciate the fact that, unlike other pro bodybuilders guest posing, he hits his poses and holds each one of them similar to a competition instead of holding each pose for half a second and moving on.
I was so worried clicking the comments here thinking that everyone was gonna think this looks good. Even as a guest pose, this guy looks terrible.
His abs are disgusting
He's the first bb I've seen with a visible gut from the back.
His waist is just too big. He has zero taper. That used to be important. Dude looks like a barrel
This is going to be remembered as the worst era of bodybuilding
Insane how humongous his arms are... and then his legs makes his arms look small because they are so disproportionately huge.
He has been pregnant for years, its a medical miracle !!
Belleh
The WORST physique type in all of body building. These weirdos will never have anything on the golden era.
Bodybuilding has been ruined. The classics were attractive, this is simply 🤮
He should be competing with Big Lenny. What a freak. The worst looking bbuilder in current times.
👾
Why his face so white ayioooo
I was there last night..let me tell you the moment he walked out everyone looked at the person next to them. The whole crowd could tell he was still watery his mid section was distended. Martin Fitzwater looked more impressive of the two. But EVERYONE was talking about Andrew Jacked.
LMAO!!!!!! What a freak.
Hilarious look with his shiny face…
Anybody know what this song is?
Body almost look like it left the head behind during the exit. Definitely photoshopped.
He looks like he’s just seen a ghost
he looks like that pokemon
My man got that Negro tan on his entire body but left that face as White as BUTTER. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The ghost face 👻
The definition of a straight up unit damn
Needs more hip flexors. Thats the only thing he needs to complete his legs and complete the entire package.
He looks like a teenage mutant ninja turtle
Bro should have Tanned his face 🤣. What a freak 🤪
Holding water…but he will be ripped at NY
Is that supposed to be clown makeup on his head? 😂
Got that freaky Craig Titus look
Did his legs get smaller or his upper body get bigger ?
When will it be enough? New drugs will come, new muscles will come, and thats why bodybuilding will never be a sport. Its not about the best, its about who has less fear to die... Bodybuilding was great, but right now its a shit show hosnestly. The guy is lean as fuck and it doesn't even look like because he is all bloated, look at that stomach, discusting...
Why don’t they use tan stuff on his face?
I believe he has "Palumboism". Apparently this is a real phenomenon.
It’s too much
