Over the years, Rogan has shared quite a lot of pictures of his physique post workouts. Recently, a Twitter user shared an old picture of Rogan that inspired quite a few fan reactions.

Fans react to a resurfaced picture of Rogan’s ‘bubble gut’

The 55-year-old Rogan used to be in tremendous physical shape in his younger days. Hence, when Rogan’s picture with a bulging rounded-out gut was released on the internet, it shocked the fans. Rogan looked to be in great shape, except for his gut.

Fans came up with several theories to explain Rogan’s condition. One common response centered on a condition called ‘Palumboism.’

Palumboism, also called steroid gut, is common in bodybuilders. It happens through the use of human growth hormones. It can also happen simply because their diet has high-calorie food that takes longer to digest. This, in turn, leads to stomach distension. Fans under the post assumed it was likely a result of using substances for a better body.

Another fan said he looked like a wrestler on banned substances.

Some other fans said the picture reminded them of UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.

Rogan’s ‘bubble gut’ picture also gave fans an opportunity to make some jokes.

Another fan had a more creative insult for Rogan.

Another fan pointed out how it was unsurprising to see Rogan with such a physique, but said it still looked weird.

Whatever the cause of Rogan’s bubble gut may be, it was a shocker for many.
