Abdominal dilatation - what it is and how it formed
Abdominal dilatation
Monitoring a group of overweight people, I noticed that many had a large stomach, the abdomen was distended like a balloon. At first I thought it is an excessive accumulation of fat around the waist and that if they want a diet and do sports, this problem will disappear. As time passed, my frustration grew as much as poor "patients" and no matter how much my practicing, did not want to decrease their size.Some of my clients have come to have relatively thin arms and legs, no fat, yet their stomach almost looks like a giant balloon. A few years later, I started working with Powerlift writers and bodybuilders, and some of them had the same problem. It was shocking to see very muscular athletes but swollen belly.
After several years I collected and classified data on dietary habits and measurements of my clients, a clear correlation began to emerge: all "big stomach " used to eat large amounts of food late at night. Typically, these foods were high in fat and was usually eaten just before bed.
Abdominal dilatation is generated by filling the intestines with a large amount of food followed by rest, sitting or lying down, allowing the abdominal muscles to relax. This usually repeated often leads to a permanent expansion almost impossible to fix. Notice that I said "almost impossible". Bodybuilders or Powerlift-rs who have this problem have simply because usually with the intention of eating excessive weight gain. These heavy meals taken late, coupled with 3-4 meals during the day followed by relaxation may lead to dilated abdomen. Apart from diet, there are several factors that contribute to this. If the athletes genuflexions beam made in less than 2 hours after a rich meal, creates a force, a pressure that pushes the intestines out of the abdominal cavity causing dilation, and is not just about squats, any heavy exercise performed at Shortly after a big meal, particularly stopping breathing exercises performed.
The third element contributing to the expansion is visceral fat.
This type of fat accumulates around the organs, in this case around the intestines, which makes the internal space to grow in size. It is known that as the fat cells under the skin of a person is "swell" to saturation, the body begins to store fat and inside.
Another contributing factor is the use of anabolic steroids dilated abdomen. That's because steroids act somewhat discriminatory. They not only make muscles grow but also the internal organs to some extent. That heart, stomach, liver, intestines, etc.. It all depends on how long and how much a person uses steroids.
Abdominal dilation - how to get rid of it
First, make sure your posture. Some people usually leave their abdomen to relax and hang and have not ever concerned about his "fire belly" and keep your back straight.
Change your eating habits also contribute to getting a flat stomach. Try to take small meals in volume and lower in fat. Avoid at all costs taken late evening meals rich. Do not eat just before going to practice. Allow your body time to digest food at least an hour and make sure to breathe during the reps. This is particularly important in squats, leg press and the bent Row. Of course, do not forget to work your abdominals and lower back muscles, but make sure to exercise so as not to stretch too much abdominal wall during repetitions.
Do not try to force weight gain using "super meal" or anabolic steroids. Probably the best idea is to prevent unsightly expansion of the abdomen, following the rules that we have presented here, before it's too late.
