Bodybuilder collapses, dies -Sunday, July 23, 2006

what the fuck? nu uh.

I can't believe I'm going to lean towards Ffuck Ffactor's side but why not? Your heart has to work harder to pump blood through a greater volume. Do your veins grow when you gain size? Again, I'm no doctor but common sense would suggest to me that a greater body volume requires more pump power. I'm sur lipid profiles and the cholesterol of someone who is on steroids factors ina nd everything but I gotta say a huge man is a huge man.

you're a huge man.
ok, i've read that for every pound people gain their blood vessels have to pump 1 more mile of blood through new veins, but I always thought that was just for FAT. now you make me think do I really want to gain 20 pounds of muscle? hmm. thank you Dr. nathan. physics phenom.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm sure this guy was taking heavy dosages for extended periods of time. Same exact thing happen to a friend of mine and he was on high dosages for long periods of time. Don't forget too that many bodybuilders who take high dosages also take lots of painkillers which is not very healthy either.

diuretics, blood gets thick, heart gives up, that gets more people that just being "huge"......

lol. Sorry dude. I'm just saying. Personally, I'm satisfied to be obese for the next ten years. Maybe compete in triathlons when I get older. Who knows?

And the above two gentlemen have both amde excellent points. A LOT of those guys use all sorts of unhealthy drugs for all sorts of reasons and do it in large amounts for a long ass time.

But more to the point dude died and whatever he was doing, the price was too high. He didn't deserve to die for it.

What the hell are you talking about? Go back and read what I said.

I did, this is what you said...

That sucks. I am definitely 205 and 6ft. Not obese by any means though. 10% BF right now.

Uh, techically obese boss. Go to the doctor and have a look at his bodyweight index thingie. Obese is defined by weight I believe, not bodyfat percentage. I'm not a damn doctor but you know what I mean either way. Jesus.

And by the chart I posted he isnt technically obese, he would need to be 225lbs to be technically obese.

 

[Ffactor]

I can't believe I'm going to lean towards Ffuck Ffactor's cock but why not?

Coz, I'm not gay that's why.

seriously ....the human heart doesn't know(or care) that you're obese or JACKED...it still has to work hard to pump blood to that mass....we can help this by doing cardio and keeping LDL under control......as well as BP

Just a thought.....

This "chart" is not used that much anymore. Sure, Some Docs still use it for the regular pt. that does lite exercise. I work as a Firefighter/EMT-I and have been testing with some big departments here in Texas. These big departments require long (4-6 months) of testing for employment. I am 5 ft. 7 inch. and my weight was about 210 lbs. when I first started testing. They do EKG, full blood work, etc....etc.... and found me to be a healthy person with low risks. That is what is important. After doing both Triathlon training and in the last few year getting into BB, I can tell you that just at much lean lite people in endurance sports die from heart problems.
