Haven't watched it, but here is Mike's inerview with Nick Trigili
Well...he has cardiomyopathy by his own words. I don't think he even had a heart attack listening to what he stated.
So as a timeline:
From 2013-2017 he worked with a coach, forgot the name. He mentioned that he had used high doses of anabolics later in the interview, prior to hiring Milos. He didn't state the amounts, so i'm not sure what 'high' is to him. Also had used HGH and insulin prior to Milos, though not as much insulin...think he said 5-12iu.
He started with Milos in 2017 and did a few shows. He was always on insulin for most of the time. He did a few shows with milos and came in not well conditioned while chasing the size game quickly. Each show with Milos, the insulin dosages were lower and lower after complaining about them, and then eventually the last show with Milos he did not use insulin at all. He stopped using Milos in 2018! He said Milos had him on low dosages of AAS, but I don't think he ever mentioned how much that was. So he was with Milos about a year.
So he stated after leaving Milos in 2018, that he took a year break and didn't take insulin, and that includes AAS per him, but he also mentioned he was still cruising. He mentioned that his lipids were normal on his bloodwork, and ECG testing showed his heart was normal....."but it was weak." This was all pre- "heart attack." He mentioned that the "weakness" wasn't found at first, but later on.
In 2019 he didn't compete because he said he had shoulder surgery.
In 2020, he started working with Patrick for about 5 months. Patrick had him on "5iu HGH + 5iu insulin + minimal AAS." He mentioned that Patrick wanted him to take GHRP-2, and when he did, he had an allergic reaction to it and fainted. The paramedics came and took him in to the hospital. Most of the testing came back fine, and they diagnosed him having an allergic reaction to the GHRp-2, but they also caught that his ejection fraction was super low and they diagnosed him with cardiomyopathy, not a heart attack. His ejection fraction was at 15-20%. This was in Feb 2020....so last year.
He then said the anabolics played a role, but still blamed it mostly on insulin. Also new it could have been from the high weight gain.
He mentioned later on....unbelievably, that if he gets his ejection fraction back up to normal, like 50-75% he may try and compete again. He is at 45% right now. He mentioned that bodybuilding is his life and wants to compete again, but not if it means him dying. Somebody needs to sit his ass down NOW, and give him the talk about not competing again. I think somebody like John Meadows could be a positive voice for him to listen to....as an example, as well as a medical doctor. He needs to quit, and not compete again. He mentioned that the last 6 months it has not improved from 45%.
He said he could use gear safely and compete.....not sure what doses he considers safe. He mentioned that Chris Bumstead "only takes 750mg" and it sounded like he assumed it was a safe dosage. He also mentioned if he cannot go 100%, he will not compete again just to use low doses and come in looking like crap.
He mentioned using 4-6iu HGH in the past for off-season, and went up to 9iu hgh during prep.
He said he used high amounts of gear in the past prior to Milos...but didn't state the amounts.
He had BP issues and was taking meds.
He had sleep apnea as well.
He states he is still training "like a horse" 3 hours a day.
He is on 250mg/wk of test.
He is taking Entresto right now for the cardiomyopathy....along with supp's.
