Jimmy Sadek R.I.P

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.



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.

These is certainly a choice of your own. Many can have way higher doses of this at whatever their age is. As long as your blood work comes back good there is no problem. Now if you don’t do bloodwork and go by what you feel then your fucked.

By the way R.I.P BROTHER I feel so bad for your little hulk. You can tell daddy was his favorite and biggest thing in this world. That alone kills me. And now to have god know who tf is going to take your place and play daddy. I’m so sorry for your family. If you can somehow where ever you at and can read this. I know it’s too late for you. But I pray your son grows up not just to be the best person ever but most importantly not forget you. And can still remember his best days with you. This really hurt me and touched me deeply. I’m so so sorry. The selfish things we pick for ourselves and not think of the most smallest thing that we leave behind that will scar them for life.and need us to grow up. I’m speechless as a father of two. And I too have made stupid choices so I’m not pointing fingers at you. In fact it opens my eyes R.I.P

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.

Actually, this is what i wanted to add while posting - "unless you know something more and were closer"

Thanks

that gut was more then rectus distasis, that is intensely swollen out. looks like SIBO with horrific gas and GH food push, really just disregarding it. His face looks so swollen just really unhealthy looking. Like i said in my post i wondered many times why he didnt pull back on ail and truly fix it. surgery alone was not fixing it and im pretty sure there are plenty pics after it and he was still a swollen mess

Just on a side note, my doctor gave me a great way to check to see if you have diastasis recti. The laying on your stomach and putting your fingers to feel for a space between your mid abs is a bit difficult in many cases to determine. Instead simply lie flat and do a crunch and watch your abs. If instead of an even tightining of the abs, you see a bulge that pops out in the middle that extends down in a straight line, then you likely have it. In most cases, it doesn't cause any non-cosmetic issues so getting insurance to pay for the surgery to fix it can be difficult. Plus you need a doctor who knows what they are doing.

Noel Deyzel is one of the few bodybuilders that has openly talked about his struggle with it and being embarrassed to take his shirt off. I believe he just went in for his 3rd and hopefully final surgery. The first one had major complications and he had major issues like fluid literally leaking out of his gut he couldn't stop. I even believe Mark Lobliner many years ago had it done. Saying they had to go in and put in a large amount of mesh and many sutures and even staples. In severe cases, it is kind of like you have to have an internal corset put in to hold it all in place while it heals.

Ok so this is due to an abuse in aas ? Or is it something to do with force feeding. And I’m not talking about GH GUT. Or is it a combo of all of the above?

 

[silvaback]

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.

himself and his coach jamie posted before and after pics of his prep... his stomach was out of control

i follow his coach on instagram he was yappin the whole time about fixing his bubble gut posting progress pics

RIP. But I have to mention something here:

This is going to happen more often because of the incredibly stupid high doses of Testosterone being taken by these guys over the last few years, combined with no doctor visits and no blood work.

A really good friend of mine who turned 50 a little while back is now suffering from congestive heart failure. Super healthy guy, but his test was in the 750 - 1000 range for years with zero blood work. The only warning signs was taking longer to recover from training legs, which then went to not being able to walk without resting and then heart failure.

Get your blood work done often guys, lower the dosage, and ask yourself if it's worth it to you and your family.

Rest in Peace.

I don't think the dosage of test has anything to do with this strictly

Steroids in general aren't great for heart health. Lipid dysfunction + Endothelial dysfunction + High BP from gear use = more likelihood of getting heart disease

6 out of 10 people in the U.S will die from some form of atherosclerosis. Steroids will accelerate that.

It's honestly more surprising that more guys make it to old age with gear use and no pharmacological support for lipids

A slight separation of the rectus abdominis muscles doesn’t make your stomach look like you’re pregnant. Keone Pearson has had it for years, and Terrence Ruffin mentioned in a podcast that he also has a mild separation. You can see that many competitors, even in Men’s Physique, like Ryan Terry, have a slight gap. Many top female bikini athletes deal with it after having children but still compete successfully. So I believe that as long as the separation stays within certain limits, it doesn’t affect abdominal control - and it definitely doesn’t impact waist width.

Big A's 20+ year old post on the truth about professional bodybuilders still rings true today

Although I think with the internet, the information exchange has made people more aware and health conscious. But 1000s have competitors have probably gone through this game with the eyes closed and praying approach.

Man I feel horrible for his family. I saw that stomach video in my Facebook feed all the time. Never watched it but now I see that's the same guy. RIP
