Ramy was no where near as conditioned as Phil. Show me one shot where Ramy had better conditioning. He had a thin layer of water still, even though Badar and his team tried to suck the last bits of water out of him. He came in looking flat because of this and didn't have the 3D pop that Phil brings to the stage every single year. His coach from last year Chris Aceto said the Came Crew keep trying to bring him in too big and then have to resort to drastic measures to get him conditioned in the last stages, but just can't nail it.

All of the competitors go to a big pool party in Vegas the next day so they have to have the tan done the day before so that it soaks in by the Sunday.

Nonsense. Arnold used steroids and had the vacuum tummy. The guys in the classic section also have flat tummies.
It seem to be the obsession over mass that's the cause of the pregnant tummmy look.

They're enlarged organs. The **** these guys are on wasn't even available when Arnie was using.
The stomach is always a dead giveaway when trying to determine whether or not someone is natty at first glance. Extended abdomen and they're more than likely on some crap they've given cows. It's humanly impossible to get that big without juice.

Check out the guys in the classic section of the Olympia. They are also on steroids, but doesn't have the inflated midsection.
AFAIK, there are no definitive scientific proof whether HGH or insulin or anabolic steroids are the cause of the pregnant tummy.
I also have a bit of a pregnant tummy look with the "six-pack" outline and I don't even use anything. But then again, I'm a noob in the gym, but always had strong abs, with fat being stored behind the muscles.
In the end, it is more of a conditioning thing. Even Arnold was outraged over how these guys look.
You guys are also forgetting the volume of food that these guys have to eat to get to that size. It's a combination of the drugs and just what they are putting the body through in terms of eating. GH and slin has a huge part to play for sure, but like Tikkop said the smaller classes don't have the issue to such an extent. It's then these guys start chasing huge size and numbers that it's a risk.
