That is a very simply minded world view with severe limitations.
Not to say in this particular case Matt couldn't have acted in a way to prevent this. But it also doesn't sound like he was being more reckless than other bodybuilders.
That’s your opinion brother, and I respect that..
But let’s analyze and be realistic.. He was diagnosed with heart failure very young (from AAS abuse and genetic predispositions I’m sure)... Had high blood pressure untreated for years... Had an alleged family history of health issues... Decided to be 260lbs+ at about what, 5’9?
I think his use, regardless of how responsible after all of that (and that’s what was made public) contributed to what happened...
I mean, Maldorf is a guy with a similar situation, he says so himself that if he would’ve just stayed natural or on low dose LEGIT TRT after his 1st diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, he would’ve had a normal life... And I believe this is confirmed by his doctors as well but he can come and confirm that himself...
Every decision has a consequence and I don’t believe for one second that if he would’ve just stayed natural or legit TRT at a healthy weight etc that he would’ve died anyway at 34...
Edit: Everyone is different, so can’t really compare him and other bodybuilders and what they do, so say a lot of people on this board who give guys shit who post about health and that some guys can have perfect bloodwork on Tren etc... There’s many posts like that in here.. But what I do believe is that he had a warning that his body had enough and he didn’t listen... This wasn’t some freak accident...
