That's going to go over well considering his previous bust

They were working on his posing.

Wow. Personally, I think it's sheer body volume that kills bodybuilders. I bet you bottoms to dollars if you drop a lot of the size and don't go into the technically obese category, you'll be fine or at least at much lower risk of having problems different from a regular individual. Obese people don't live long, we all know that. Stay away from being obese and hopefully you won't stress the fuck out of your heart and die. I don't know.

It;s really sad though since it's not the same thing as gorging yourself on food IMO. It sucks that the effort you put into your body starts to work against you at some point when you surpass your limits of what it was meant to handle.

Don't ever forget that if you're over 200lbs and not 6'7" or some such shit (don't know the exact definition), you're techically obese.

Rest in peace good sir.

What happened with the myopathy? What did you experience?

Went in for an Echo and my ejection fraction was down to 30%. Did not have any physical symptoms. It was a dangerous situation and could have caused sudden death and I only weigh 170lbs. Will never go that high on test or try to push my weight again.

too many are injecting drugs in their body like it's vitamins,

the human body is not meant to be that big, your heart works 4 times as hard to pump all that blood to those big muscles

same as for the obese

Tough profession.

Indeed. They have to push themselves way past their genetic potential.

Man, I grew up in Johnston - was this guy a big name? anyone know his story?

RIP. maing

Yea, I'm going to the wake on Thursday night. He was a friend for the last 14 years. I was directed to him when I was first getting in to the game, He was my personal trainer for a year, then friend after that. Anthony was a good guy. He was a good friend of Palumbo, I know he is not well liked, since the fake serostim thing, I got stuck with some of that myself. Anthony was a top national competitor back in the early 90's, and held some impressive power lifting records, I think he was still ranked 24th in the country, at 44 years old. A very close friend of Anthony's told me his doctor told him not to do the show because of his heart condition, This friend was also in the room when Anthony started hyperventilating, collapsed, and then stopped breathing.
Nice guy very sad. I'm going to my cardiologist Thurs afternoon. He used to like hemenway's restaurant in Providence, I ran into him there often, and we had dinner together many times. The funny thing is he always preached conservative dosages with AS and GH. He will be missed by all who knew him.

soon as a bodybuilder dies everyone jumps on their high horse. sounds like he had a bad heart to begin with.
