Bodybuilder collapses, dies -Sunday, July 23, 2006

[KD1]

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.

Yup I agree, the big thing is genetics, then lifestyle second.

My family has very good heart genes, nobody has had any type of heart problems on either side ( COD has been cancer and strokes - all at ages of 80+ ). All of my heart tests have always come back great, but I am not particuarly good at endurance type sports/athletics. My girlfriend is, she trains her ass off at cardio, but has to monitor her cholesterol and BP because of bad family history.

I think the people with bad family history and/or tests that come back not particuarly good need to take a longer look at how they train. It may not be good to carry around 250lbs+ of muscle in every case. But for most of us I think its fine.

my .02:
its probably due to genetics and the doses and duration of drugs he has been putting into his body.

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

Don't try to preach to us, PUSSY.!!!!! You don't know shit about roids & you have NO proof to back up any of your Idiotic claims, SISSY.!!!!!

I hope you are a competitive bodybuilder, otherwise you have no business doing steroids!

A friend of mine just died at 38 years old. The doctors said his organs were like a 90 year olds. The guy had been on gh and steroids for about 15 years straight. Not smart. I still believe if used prudently steroids can be helpful but this guys death has kind of made me think about things a bit more to say the least.

NOPE. Not a competitive bodybuilder. Looks like you don't know much about roids either. Roids are for ANYONE who wants to get BIG & STRONG.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do more research before coming to this thread and posting FUCKING BULLSHIT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tend to agree. I can remember being the last one to leave the locker room from fatigue long before I took aas. I think several cases of strep throat may have slightly damaged my heart as a child so that aas usage might aggravate an already existing condition. For the most part though, I feel great and don't see how anything could be wrong. If I suddenly drop dead, sail-a-vee (sp) LOL

WTF!!!
I clicked on this thread to read what I thought would be condolances. instead, i'm reading a load of bullsh*t amateur diagnosis of a what caused this poor guy to die!!
Simple fact: 1 in 3, thats 1 in 3, men die of heart disease!
Although he was very young, it is still not uncommon at that age. To claim it had ANYTHING at all to do with aas is total bollocks! On the same day, no doubt some where else in the world, some one of the same age will have died of the same thing. This other guy could have been an amateur runner and ate nothing but lean meat, noodles and steamed veg. Would it then be fair to say his running was the cause of his heart failure?
None of you making these claims have any idea what caused it. You don't know him, his family history, his lifestyle, his habits or anything else for that matter. Stop with the bickering crap and pay your respects. His family and friends might be reading this.
