This right here is something I've been saying.This right here.... the fellas passing (for the most part) are HUGE.... You don't see Mens Physique guys passing...or even Classic guys.... and trust, Physique guys blast a ton of shit too... IN MY OPINION its the anabolics PLUS being over 240 that really puts one in a dangerous place....
Sure AAS are bad for you, but I'd say weighing 250lbs is worse, and then you Factor in the AAS too. I can't recall any men's phsique guys passing.
I wouldn't call it an addiction. I personally find alcohol and drugs disgusting and have no desire to try them and I'm sure many others are the same. I have smoked weed to help me sleep and drank a handful of times socially (peer pressure) and would gladly pass on either.
I think the underlying problem is body dismorphia. The bigger you think you need to be to look good, the more you will push the scale, and your risk increases as you push it.
I see alot of people who have major health issues also having digestive issues and I think that ties in with using various prescription drugs as well. A guru on medication is not something I want to be because that likely means I need or am using them.
My final thoughts, people take herbs, supplements to try and prevent health problems which is a good concept but these guys passing are doing this too and it's not negating the affects enough of our lifestyle. Also, people really hate cardio and at some point people got this idea that moving or walking a dog is the same as real cardio working the heart.
I'm old school I think everyone should be doing real cardio. I'm guilty of this too I do 45 minutes moderate on the elliptical but I even think my heart is weak for a 190lb male, if I got chased by a dog I'd probably be out of breath like a 240lb guy.
You can't be strong if your heart is weak. I feel like in the 2000s at some point many became anti cardio. When I permabulked my fat ass up to 250 years ago then finally stepped on the treadmill my legs went numb after a while. Had I continued to try and be the biggest strongest guy in the gym I may not be here today.
