This took me a little bit of time to write up. Shead a few tears while doing so. I have been touched by this lifestyle in a deeper way then most of you can understand. Please read the following and take it to heart.
By THE BOUNCER
I see alot of people on here talking about oral drugs such as dianabol, winstrol, anadrol, and so on. You must realize that 17-aa drugs such as the oral's I just listed can and will cause damage to internal organs such as the kidneys and liver. DO NOT take this shit lightly and think to yourself, "this can't happen to me". I have had many friends that have had to stop bodybuilding all together because of severe damage to internal organs.
Just to get my point across a little better. Here is a list of bodybuilders that have been forced to retire or have DIED because of steroid related damage. When I say "Steroid related damage" I dont mean 500mg of testosterone. I mean years of drugs such as, Dianabol, winstrol, anadrol, slin, diuretics and so on.
The dead list:
Don Youngblood (Personal Friend and Pro Bodybuilder). Dead at age 51
Anthony Clark (Power Lifter). Dead at age 39
Trevor Smith (Not a bodybuilder but heavy steroid user). Dead at age 33
Sonny Schmidt (Pro Bodybuilder). Dead at age 49
Derrick Whitsett (Pro Bodybuilder). Dead at age 37
Robert Benavente (Amature Bodybuilder). Dead at age 30
Mike Mentzer (Pro Bodybuilder). Dead at age 49
Paul DeMayo (Pro Bodybuilder). Dead at age 38
Ray Mentzer (Pro Bodybuilder). Dead at age 47
Andreas Munzer (Pro Bodybuilder). Dead at age 39
(On the morning of 13 March, Andreas Munzer's stomach pains became intense. His gut was swollen and hard.
He was taken to a hospital. Doctors there diagnosed the bleed, but could not prevent it continuing. He was transferred to the University Clinic. At 7pm, surgeons decided to operate to stop the bleeding inside Andi's stomach. Andi came through the operation, but his problems had multiplied catastrophically. His blood was viscous and slow-moving. His potassium levels were excessively high. He had been dehydrated by the diuretics he used in the days before his last competitions. His liver was melting. A post-mortem would find that it had dissolved almost completely. Andi's body went into shock. After his liver failed, his kidneys did too. He was offered a blood transfusion, but it was too late.)
The "Forced to retire" List:
Tom Prince (Kidney Failure)
Flex Wheeler (Kidney Failure)
Milos Sarcev (Multiple Health Problems)
Don Long (Kidney Failure)
Mike Matarazzo (triple-bypass heart surgery at age 38)
Orville Burke (coma)
There are many more I could add of personal friends that you guys have never heard off. There health is just as important as anyone else though.
Im telling you guys right now, I have seen alot in this lifestyle. I have seen the bad side of bodybuilding. Many of you haven't and simply think its all fun and games.
Listen to me when I tell you, if you dont take your health seriously, it will take you... literally!
