Found this video of Gustavo when he was younger. His wasit looks tiny and good but hes always accused his big waist as hereditary and having to do with someting inernal like lactose intolerance (not sure if thats right but something of that sort). Personally I think it was th GH use because his waist looks good in this vid expecially at 17-19 seconds.

thanks for posting the video bro, he look great at his younger age.


he had little resistance claiming the heavy weight, then the overall titles.
enabling him to reach his dream

its true that his waist has gotten alot thicker. but i mean hes added alot of size, and that comes at the expense of the midsection often. hes overally thick as hell. personally i actually like his physique, though i know alot of others dont. he does comes off as an asshole though, especially in that arm training video of him where he claims he is 100% natural while flexing and strouting around like a jackass at the gym...

is there any actual proof that GH extends your gut? or could it be a number of things including IGF and insulin? in all honesty i think if a man grows muscle on his frame his waist will grow along with that.. think about it for a second............ the waist is a muscle like all the others.. could you imagine putting 25 lbs of muscle on your upper body and without your waist getting larger? its just not possible if you ask me.

Agree with the adding muscle will add size to yoru waist but i specifically remember reading that he said something about his waist size being hereditary.

The belly how it sticks out weird. From the side it hangs out funny. He said something in his family is the reason it looks like that but this vid shows that it looks good. I think he is just making excuses to the judges and people who criticize for the growth of his waist. I like gustavos body and im not trying to rip on him or anytthing but im just curious.

Yeh i think hes just trying to make excuses, ive never heard it being hereditary before.

I really like his physique too, very thick. But the guy still does seem like an arse
