For those of you who knew him, he passed away a few hours ago. The initial report is congestive heart failure, he was on the waiting list to recieve a kidney for transplant. One hell of a nice guy as well as a great competitor. Please say a paryer for him and his family.

my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

What the hell!? So many BBers are dying lately. I hope we learn something about his condition so we can gain something from this unfortunate experience. How old was he?

some posts that Masswithclass posted about his condition awhile ago.....

Alot of you people know me, but for those who don't i'm a 2 time state middleweight Pa State champion in the NPC. I also took it to the next level 2 times competing at Nationals for the allmighty PRO card. I recently was diagnosed with Renal Kidney Failure, that means basically my kidneys are shutting down. I need dialysis 3 times a week for 4 hours a session to stay alive. Kidney problems do not run in my family, nobody in my family has ever had a kidney related issue.
You have to realize there are consiquenses to your actions with AAS, do not think that you are invinsible.
I was recently prepping for the state championships, i figured this is my year for the overall state title Mr Pennsyvania and it was balls to the wall. About 6 weeks out i started throwing up every day sometimes 2 times a day, my ankles were holding water and my skin was turning very pale and i was so fatigued but i pushed on anyway thinking i was being a pussy. Finally it got so bad i could barely breathe and was truely afraid that something very serious was wrong. I went to the doctor for bloodwork, he sent it out stat the next thing i know he called me and wanted me in the hospital NOW. I went to intensive care where they gave me 4 units of blood and blood pressure meds, turns out my kidney's where shutting down and have been doing so for some time now. I went from prepping for a state title to having a doctor sitting in front of me telling me "you need a transplant". If i would have had bloodwork and payed attention to it i would more than likey not been in this grim position. Nobody talks about the bad side of steroids on these boards, so i just wanted you to know what you are getting into. I don't mean to lecture, i was asked to write this piece to make people realize there is a bad side about steroids that most people are in denial about.
Thank you for listening and hopefully i can help some of you from being in the same position as me some day.

I personally loved the 17-alpha alkylated pills, anadrol, d-bol, winny, halo and i also believe trenbolone played a role. I would like to add that i did pop anti inflamatories when sore and also did the eca stack since 1991. As far as aas i have been doing it since 1996 with little time off.

[JUICE]

damn:(

[Bouncer]

man that is sad. i wonder how long he was popping anti-inflamatory's and for how long he would run the 17aa's and tren. really makes you think twice.

[Puddles]

So sad. May his good soul rest in peace.

For those of you who venture into AAS, please, please be careful and really think about what you're doing. Don't think that just because you feel great that the potential problems will escape you. Get your bloodwork done regularly and at the first sign of anything not within the right levels, get off and treat your body gently.

MassWithClass, you will be missed.

[Stonecold54]

that is why I have dropped all 17AA's from my cycles. MY test will never be above 600 again either. All you guys and girls need to check your health and its not always from gear. Just stress alone can lead to many ailments and putting your body through highs and lows in life.
