So this goes to show, noone is invincible. He wasn't "one of those types of bodybuilders" you'd think would die at any moment. (Some red-faced, huffing and puffing overweight bald and bloated guy)
Dallas McCarver appeared to have alot of good stuff going for him:
- very young... not even 30 years old.
- very lean... not much visceral fat
- lifting incredibly weights with ease
- never really appeared red-faced or winded in his videos (i.e., Markus Ruhl)
- was taking alot of "health" supplements via his coach.
- eating reasonably clean
Obviously, since he had gained incredible size at such a young age... we can only assume that he was blasting all the most extreme drugs in the most extreme dosages.
Either way, it's very sad. Only time will tell what really happened.
However, with all the deaths and problems lately, it makes me reconsider my whole approach to this "hobby".
Instead of "do whatever it takes to be huge", it seems like a wiser approach would be limit yourself to certain compounds that are known to do the least damage...and also limit the doses of those... and limit time on blasts. I'm not sure what those would be yet, but the path of "take anything and everything" seems to lead to a dark place for a lot of guys.
Get as big as you can within those constraints.
