Why does Eddie Hall's physique look so weird?

5:41 has a massive gut like a standard obese guy but has ab definition, his pecks sag like man boobs yet somehow is a low enough bf% to have abs? What gives, are they implants?

Starting weight 130lbs
Current stats: 6"2, 210lbs.

The 8th and final rule: If this is your first night at Gym Club....... you have to squat.

Visceral fat is commonly known as belly fat. It's found inside your abdominal cavity and wraps around your internal organs.

He used to weigh 440 pounds and now is like 360. So he'll look deflated in certain body parts despite being much lower BF %.

Years of steroid, HGH and insulin use so his internal organs are gonna be much bigger than the average persons PLUS he has a myostatin deficiency

Maybe this is why his "losing weight" goals have never gone below 350 - 360lbs. If he loses much more, but his waist stays so big from supplement abuse and can't shrink down, he'd end up looking like Big Lenny

Hes been a lot heavier before particularly when he went for that yuuuuge deadlift. He's probably got a fair amount of skin sag from that I suppose.

this

its not slin/gh/oj. Plenty of bodybuilders take slin/gh/oj and have wasp waists and massive V tapers. Its the years of building tons of core muscle, obliques, and overall core density as well as pushing food to extremes eating 15k calories of chit tier food.

He's probably just subconsciously sucking in his gut on camera. I'm sure if he was flexing his chest it would look more defined too.

If/when he ever goes back to full natty and a reasonable weight, can he look normal after a little skin surgery?

Because he bloatmaxxed so much, that he mastered the art of bloatmogging with a sixpack. Always bet on bloat.
It doesn't look like too similar to a HGH gut. And he is way wider. I doubt HGH explains everything.

Are you trolling? He is just breathing in a lot of air to brace his core at that time stamp.
