Seriously? With the amount of drugs, food, constant stress on the body and you think that body building isn't dangerous? You've got guys dying left and right year after year, but you don't think this sport is dangerous? I didn't mean dangerous as in race car driver dangerous. I mean dangerous as in putting your health on the line during your entire body building career. People fail to realize just how dangerous prepping for a high level competition really is. A lot of these guys are taking large amounts of diuretics and dehydrating themselves way beyond levels that the human body was built for while being 2-3% body fat. The human bodies electrolyte balance is very fragile. Any time you start altering sodium and potassium levels, you are seriously playing with fire. Even if you don't do immediate damage to your body that doesn't mean that you won't end up with severe health problems or end up on dialysis one day. You obviously don't know much at all about this sport if you don't know why someone would call body building dangerous.
No, 40 years old is very young in a normal sense, but professional bodybuilding is far from normal. Jay has been competing ever since he was 15-16 years old and he's over 40 years old now. You really think that his body has much left to give after 20+ years of high level competition? After seeing him this past weekend it's pretty obvious to most that his body is finally fighting back and won't continue to be beat on at this rate.
