Ever see an inner tube with a bubble/bulge in it? That's what an aneurysm is, a bulging of the blood vessel wall caused by a structural weakness there. You can have them anywhere in your body. When they rupture, especially some of the brain and heart vessel varieties, it's usually LIGHTS OUT. That's what killed John Ritter, a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Since they're symptomless unless/until they rupture they're usually only found before they cause problems when doctors know there's a genetic history of them and they run scans (usually MRI/MRA) or they're looking for something else and happen to run across the aneurysm.

it's sad to say just a sneeze can make one pop!

you'd be amazed at the pressure created while doing max lifts. it's nothing to really worry about, because, how often do you read about lifters dying in the gym?

You know you would be really a hard core bodybuilder if you kept on working out and that didnt even face you......... Talking about being in the zone.....

Sorry if someone already asked this... I didn't read the entire thread, but...
did anyone do CPR on the poor bastard?

there was a firefighter in the gym (b/c we didnt know what the hell to do but say "oh shit") and he ran over there and did do a little bit of cpr but it didnt take him but about 2 mins from the time it happened to say that he was dead. i guess cpr doesnt help with an anurism....maybe like running h2o through a hose with a big hole in it? from what i hear, the guys wife picked up a shift in the E.R. last min...and freaked out when she saw her dead husband roll in...what are freakin odds.

Great! I feel like hitting some bench. Or maybe high rep squats to get that BP way up there. Now I'm gonna have a panic attack when I go running.

I guess it is all up to the man upstairs. Nothing can stop that kind of shit or sudden cardiac death. I did notice a portable defibrillator at the gym about a month ago.

if its your time to go you will go no matter where you are or what you are doing. just think of the places you could go.

I couldn't agree more. RIP Fellow Brother Of Iron.

I thought I freaked people out when I broke my finger and snapped the bone out, compound fracture at my gym. I was bleeding all over the place and decided to do two more sets of decline since I knew I was going to be out of the upper body workout game for a while.

That is a crazy deal though. That would shake me up pretty badly. I think all gyms should be made to have defribulators (sp) at them. I would have tried some cpr at least too. It is pretty rare and even more so for people to see it. I hear a lot of those pop when on the toilet. That would suck, what a way to go out.

What a jerk off, when you start CPR your supposed to keep going until you cant physically anymore...and then someone else takes over....best to have a face shield with the one way valve so u dont get his throw up in your mouth
