Steroids merely speed up the process or increase likelihood. Those who die from heart failure were likely predisposed for it anyhow.
It’s one of the deals you make with yourself when you start wanting to be big-big.Īlthough stories like this– of a bodybuilder dying young and having used steroids– makes it seem like steroids lead to certain death, just remember the hundreds and hundreds of other gear-users out there who don’t die. I’m more interested in being big than in being alive, although having both simultaneously would be great. While I do try to stay healthy with my steroid usage, it will likely get the better of me in the end. I thought for sure he was a decade older than I, but apparently not. He was fairly young– only 34– which I find surprising. It sounds like his death was caused by “congestive heart failure” which can be exacerbated with steroid use. His body has certainly changed a lot over the years from a stage-ready bodybuilder to a beefy daddy and finally into the 310lb lump he eventually died at.
