Timmy.
The muscles getting bigger gives the illusion of less fat because it stretches the fat cells making them look smaller. A 200 lb jacked guy at 10% bodyfat isn’t the same as a 130 lb guy at 10% bodyfat. The 200 lb guy will regardless have more bodyfat even if its the same %age
cortisol bloat

never stress, dont go to the gym

The older ones didn’t look that bloated. Now they’re probably running too much HGH and insulin

hgh, insulin, cortisol, creatine, estrogen, certain orals like dbol, could be anything tbh

what exceptions, you don’t have any numbers or stats for this jfl. I’ve seen plenty of non bloated bodybuilders natural and non natural
try finding 5 bodybuilders with hollowcheeks. majority dont have them despite being sub 10% bg, even though average person has hollowish cheeks at 10% bf

gymcel that drinks protein shakes are easily more bloated than chads who just eat beef.

I can find you more than 5 but what’s the point ? You’ll just say they’re exceptions. You can’t really quantify this so it’s hard to understand your point.

Send me what you mean

I think it's because many of those who roidmaxx weren't facially blessed to begin with hence why they started roiding to compensate

Search up Dorian Yates jfl and cause they eat literally kilos of carbs before a show so there muscle look full.Before the carbloading process everyone has hollow cheeks

Constant stress on their body, cortisol.

All the replies about coritsol is false. Cortisol will make you hold onto water systemically, not on face alone. Bodybuilders famously cut water and carbs and take diuretics and crush their estrogen before shows. They barely have any water left in their system before a show.

They probably don't have hollow cheeks cuz they might have bad bone projection, or over developed facial muscles.
