That is or should I say was my best friend/training partner. He died last year. I'm not too far behind him but he was one strong mofo. 440lb bench, 500+lb squat, etc. He was 6'0 at about 245lbs. I put a picture of him up because he used to be on this board a lot.PolfaJelfa said:
He was 22yrs old, he died on September 2 of 2003 which just happened to be my birthday. We were both bouncers for a bar in the town we lived in, he also owned the gym I trained at. Anyways he died of a massive heartattack, the cause of which is still unknown to me, the coroner said that he had a very enlarged left ventricle(due to steroid use and the weight he was pushing no doubt). He didn't show up for work one night, then he missed our workouts 2 days in a row, everybody asked me where he was but I couldn't get a hold of him, then I get a call saying that some girls found him dead in his house, and that he had been that way for 3 days.PolfaJelfa said:
To ease your mind, he had started abusing prescription drugs, such as xanax, valium, oxycontin, vicodin, etc. On top of that, he did a show where he used way too much pre-contest drugs IMO. He also abused cocaine for many years, he wasn't addicted but he was definately a weekend warrior, every weekend. He did become hooked on painkillers at the end, and I asked my doctor(we both went to the same one) what killed him but he knew nothing about it. After telling him a brief history of his drug use, he told me that the combination of cocaine and opiates was more than likely what did him in. I wish I knew for sure, trust me, its caused me a few sleepless nights.PolfaJelfa said:
