Jimmy Sadek R.I.P

[AllOkJumpmaster]

damn, sad to hear this news. I never knew or even met the man. Unfortunately, I only knew him from what others have alluded to already was his abdominal size / issues. There was a post here a year or two ago about him for that reason. I felt for him because it simply looked uncomfortable. I have never seen such a large midsection, but that was also ripped at the same time. I remember him casually documenting his surgery, and updates afterward. I will admit I did not pay enough attention to understand why / what his issues were, but I hate that he will probably remembered for that. Everyone deserves to be happy, and no one deserves to die young.

I've talked to him a few times.. good guy.. he stayed very lean year round..and I'm sorry but that's a issue.. ive always said it's not the gear it's the stimulants and methods ( year round thyroid.. clen.. pre workouts etc coupled with strenuous workouts etc) used to be that grainy year round.. he did have a procedure I thought to get his ab issue taken care of but I could be wrong..

 

[liquid_c]

Very sorry to hear that. Learned about distasis recti from him. A little known issue. All you hear are generic terms like "GH gut, big organs yada yada" when in reality that is not really the cause in many cases. Can in reality only be fixed by a rather painful and long recovery surgery with a lot of possible complications.

Yep.. most of it is genetic.. yes some can be from abdominal pressures from working out or visceral fat.. but gh has little to do with it.

he had the worst case of bubble gut i ever seen.. his last prep he was able to somehow make it all go away then passes away right after

his coach jamie do rego has been real quiet and hasnt said anything about his passing kinda sketchy... i can only imagine how intense his prep must of been to get rid of that gut

None of this info is correct. His prep corrected nothing. He basically disappeared for 18 months to have major hernia surgeries and PT to help heal his stomach. Again, prep did nothing and had nothing to do with his stomach.

From this post, it doesn't look like prep did nothing.

I dont know Doreggo or however you spell it. But, idk, rubs me the wrong way... like theres shady shit going on. zero evidence. Just a vibe. Anyway, there was a comment on GI IG that "...he's a fan of blocking estrogen and no using an ARB..."

Take from that what you will.

I mean, as someone who juuust chatted with Jimmy literally a week before he died, and as someone who is familiar with his IG, these pics are not 8 weeks apart. Jimmy was a salesman and trainer first so im sure this was some tactic to get more clients.

His original viral photo was 2 years ago....thennn he had surgery and so on....and competed about a month ago. So that should kinda tell you everything you need to know.

Yes.. and single digits hdl for years is not the best choice..

Yes.. and single digits hdl for years is not the best choice..

Blood pressure
ApoB
Lp(a)
CRP
A1C
Cystatin C
GGT

There are other important tests but those are the most important ones every human should work on optimizing. Not just bodybuilders.

I wasn’t familiar with Jimmy but it’s always sad to hear things like this. RIP

So he had normal levels

Or are you saying 750-1000mg a week?

Even still.. that shouldn’t necessarily be enough to cause serious issues - barring some pre-existing genetic predisposition

No, he did not have "normal levels" at 1000mg. His free test was off the charts, stupid, and unnecessary.

1000mg weekly for years. And that's a ton of test and not necessary if you're not a competitor. Having high free test over a certain age is dangerous and plain stupid. There's no need, and if you can't get your body to look great at 200mg of any test weekly, then your training and diet truly sucks.

No, he did not have a pre-existing genetic predisposition. His genes were great, he looks under 40 and trains heavy. This was 100% due to stupid test dosing for a non-competitor.

thats the problem not the test dose

Yes, it IS the test dose, which caused all of the other problems on the blood work, and the high blood pressure and everything else that magically dropped when he brought it down to 200mg. Bloodwork has now been stable. There's no need to go above 200mg weekly if you're above a certain age. I know you've had problems and lowered everything yourself, even though you took precautions and self medicated with the correct supplements - still, you found that you needed to lower everything and you're still a beast!

For those not competing, there's absolutely zero need to go above 200mg weekly when you're 50 and over. If you're below 50, don't be a fool - get your blood work done and stay safe.

so basically, you can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.


dude didn't get blood work, didnt do anything to mitigate the negative effects of the gear and judging by his appearance... one would think be was blasting/abusing gear pretty substantially.


RIP, but if these assumptions are true, not a tremendous surprise, and could likely have been avoided.
