Kali Muscle Heart Attack

[maldorf]

Downsized and not pushing it hard my ass lol the guy is clearly on everything and the kitchen sink.. Look at his recent videos, he looks fucking massive and shredded.. He honestly looked super unhealthy, he had that sick look like he was a heart attack waiting to happen... I’m glad he’s alright and it’s pretty awesome the persona he built up, can’t hate on the guy for his hustle... But he definitely didn’t slow a damn thing down.. It’s literally his image..

Well, he didn't mention having to get a defibrillator and he is not in ICU. Good signs.

Like I said, I haven't kept up with him. there was a vid, maybe 2 or three years ago, maybe less, that showed him working out at home on what looked like a more updated Universal home gym. He was smaller and not as lean and he was talking about "priorities" and how being massive and strong wasn't as important to him as it once was (didn't watch the whole thing). Obviously that changed but when I wouldn't know. Never really cared much for the guy or his gimmick but hope he recovers.

My buddy had moderate calcium score (heart disease) so he went total vegan for 2 years. He re-tested and his score doubled! I think Kali went vegan too. I wonder if perhaps this accelerated things? My buddy went to a cardiac specialist who surmised the vegan diet likely was inflammatory. But that has to be speculative.

 

[Bio]

If I remember right, he had heart issue several years ago?

I'm going to take this time to reiterate getting a Calcium CT Scan done! Had he done this test for the $99 to $150 it costs out of pocket, Kali could have saved himself!! See the story I posted about my friend who had a 100% blockage, which was a widow maker, as well as two other blockages. Getting this test done saved his life. Keep in mind, he had no prior symptoms...scary!!

You must not have watched him when he was making his name - he's greatly downsized. I watched one of his workout videos from the last week and he looks NOTHING like he did years ago. He's literally a deflated version. What he has now could easily be maintained after years of being huge and using PEDs.

I actually went back on his page and looked, a lot of his posts were reposts because you’re right, I was looking at some recent ones (that were apparently old videos etc) and he looks like a cartoon, absolutely massive and bulging veins everywhere.. And there are some where he is noticeably downsized, still massive as fuck compared to a lot of people but you can definitely see the difference..

He also has a bunch of videos of him eating like absolute shit, and a crazy amount too... I think there’s a video of him eating like a dozen McDonalds burgers or something like that, I think it was “1 of everything” from McDonald’s and he did that with lots of junk foods...

That's so strange. He says he was natty and those other guys just had heart attacks because of steroids. I wonder why the heart attack happened?!!!

 

[beast405]

It sucks he had a heart attack. It’s so important to get routine bloods, ekgs, and echos done. To atleast minimize the risk of this stuff happening. I’m fortunate that I started getting routine bloods when I was young

 

[Dugbet]

I think that was a joke and I think he knew everyone knew he was full of shit about "natty". I thought he had downsized and started working out less intensely in the last year or so but I haven't really been following. I know he stopped competing after he competed at one of the national level npc shows and that was at least five years ago but maybe more.

I have no idea, I have little or no interest in social media stars.

I just know that he was claiming as natty, at least Rich contributed to the industry in some way by being open (I don't think that's necessary revolutionary either)

What is so different about this last year than previous years when it comes to deaths in bodybuilding?

It's one thing when you get on social media and you read about how yet another one of your high school classmates has passed away from years of less than ideal lifestyle choices. But all this past year in the bodybuilding world seems to not be letting up when ot comes to "who's next".

Its been a rough fucking year for this stuff, John Meadows, George Peterson, Shawn Rhoden, thankfully Kali Muscle didnt die but fuck.

Its definitely got me getting my calcium scores and EKG done beginning of next year when I get bloods again.

Get an echo done too! That will tell you how your heart is functioning and what your ejection fraction is.

just for me since i am not really familiar what is available in the US and what not:
why would you guys always opt for a CT test when you could also just get a cardiac catheter examination done?
Is it because its non-invasive? Because from a information stand-point, i guess nothing beats a cardiac catheter examination if you are looking for blockages / bottlenecks? Or is it due to the price? Availability?
I guess after having a cardiac examination done (even with myocardial biopsys which makes it more complicated etc.) on myself, i would do it again since its no big deal. For me, the biggest issue was that they had to enter from 2 spots in my groin because of the biopsy, else they even could go into my hand and i could have left same day

Yes, it's the invasiveness of the cardiac cath. I think cost is another thing. Here in the US I think the doctor needs a good reason to call for one. Things like an obvious EKG or echocardiogram.

I had my first done while I was suffering a heart attack. The ekg showed elevated ST segment and I had symptoms of a heart attack. They rushed me in to the OR and performed the cath within about 30 minutes. It was 3:30 am too. Thry had to call in the surgeon.

Not sure he went vegan unless it was recently.

I'm not aware if he did, maybe you are thinking of CT Fletcher (another youtuber); he had a heart transplant a couple years ago.

Hadn't heard that. Wonder how hard he trains now.

From what I've seen (a while ago) not very hard at all. More like exercising than working out.

As Maldorf said, here in the US you basically need to be dying or with severe symptoms to get some of these things done...

My doc is a close family friend so he’ll order an Echo for me every so often, I’m going to ask him tomorrow when I see him about CT Calcium score, but he had to send me to a location where he knew people to get my Echo done because when I tried through a cardiologist location they basically refused me, even with a doctor’s order because I had no symptoms or any cardiac issues, it was just a preventative check up, and apparently they don’t do that here in the US...

They told me they would do an EKG and the cardiologist would see me and he would decide after seeing me if he wanted to do the echo or not... It’s fucking stupid.. Like if I’m paying for something and I have the order, just fucking do it... lol

 

[M@NU]

okay, that sucks.
Especially since an EKG is more or less the roughest indication of any existing problems.. A good EKG doesnt mean there are no issues. There can even be severe issues and EKG is okay.
