Is this man a genetic freak

cambridgemuscle

I was walking round Lichfield golf course today and this bloke, must have been about 60 was walking round with his top off. He had flabby man tits, a fat ill-defined back and a massive belly. But through the belly you could see six little rocks. I'm talking a full on six pack, and the muslces seemed to be really hard ie: right at the surface of the skin. its hard to explain. I seriously doubt he worked out his abs and it wasnt the kind of pack girls would be drooling over but its pretty ****ed up no?

i'm betting he had 35% bf.

i think they call them steroids... :wink:

he is blatantly taking them!

It recently came to my attention that most body-builders spend most of their time looking fat and flabby, then crash diet at a suitable time prior to their competition - This is because they need to eat so much to get the muscle mass that they desire, that they can't help but put on the weight. When the time comes, they slim down to keep the muscle but kill the flab - but the muscle is still there. Quite possibly, this is what this man was.... ?

I bet my student loan he wasn't on roids and a tenner that he'd never touched a weight in the last ten years. He was a 60 year old topless golfer with grey hair, skinny arms, pigeon tits and spindly legs. Hardly a bber on a buling cycle. He is a freak.

I understand what you are saying but this guy hadn't slimmed down though and so according to what you are saying he shouldn't have had muscles showing as the fat would have hidden any six pack...

Perhaps he had a 6-pack implant... perhaps that's possible? lol

its strange fo sho, but people can definately have uber high bf% and still have visable abs. I guess he just doesnt keep enough subcutaneous stomach fat to hide his abs. Infact, if he DOES have a lot of visceral fat pushing out his gut, it could act to make his abs more visable, but reducing the depth of his stomach subcutaneous fat, "stretching it out" u know. A lot of guys with huge bellys is much more visceral than subcutaneous fat, so they could have visable abs fo real

Could it be this tanning trend where they tan shadows on the abdomen to create the illusion of abs? Don't ask me how i know about it.

Or....IMPLANTS!

Okay, the only time i've seen fat people, and uber fat people :wink:

, with anything that even vaguely resembles abs is when they are so fat they actually have big folds of flab in their skin... surely you aren't suggesting that these flab deposits are anything like muscle?

well, i was joking - implying that you must not have read the rest of my post, which I hoped explained how a high bf% could still lead to visable abs

but that doesnt make sense to me either... why would you only have have less subcanteous fat only around you abs?

i think implants are much more likely, i thought most fat was stored directly underneath the skin
