Ok, I was reading here on the boards someone said that it is likely GH gut is caused by large fat deposits in between your organs. This concept is supported by the fact that many bodybuilders who used to sport a gut do not anymore. Guys like Gustavo (had a gut at the Ironman, didn't at the Olympia), and retirees like Dorian.
Afterall, fat is fat, and you can lose it with proper dieting.
So why did guts only show up when GH use became more prevailent? Here's my theory:
GH burns fat wherever it is injected, right? What is the last place most guys lose fat? On their abs. What is the most common injection site for GH? On your abs. So you inject GH and it burns fat on your abs subcutaneously. It does NOT burn the fat in between your intestines. You diet down for a show, but only until you look really ripped. Well guess what, you may LOOK ripped, but it's artificial. You look ripped only because you forcably burned the fat on your abs using GH. Had you dieted without GH, your abs would not yet be ripped because you still have lots of fat in between your intestines to still lose!
Thus, the result is a "beer belly" amount of fat around your intestines, but a ripped look because all your subcutaneous fat has been burned. Voila, GH gut.
This to me also explains how some bodybuilders who take GH don't have GH guts, while others do.
If you diet fully before a show in addition to taking GH, you'll still lose the gut. If you never get ridiculously fat in the offseason, you won't get the gut in the first place. If you inject the GH in some place other than your abs, you'll wind up losing the gut because you'll drop the intestinal fat before your ab fat.
