"I got home just after 1am pacific time, and had e-mail from Jamie Templeman( another Canadian NAS athlete)who said Jesse passed away around 10pm Wed night at the farm in Sequim WA, after doing high rep squats. apparently it was a massive coronary."

I have never felt the "RIP" expression is really appropriate to post when someone dies. I have only seen it in old western movies.  In the very least write out the whole expression, instead of abreviating.

I dont find it very respectful at all, in fact I find it flip. If its not something you would say in person then why say it on the internet?

Heart attack

Doesn't suprise me. Most larger than life people have a tendency to drop due to some sort of heart issues. Problem is, no matter how BIG you are, the heart muscle is the same size in all of us. The only time it is ever enlarged is due to some sort of infection or fluid retention, I.E. congestive heart failure. The bigger you are, the harder it has to work and eventually it burns out like everything else. Especially if the person lives an active life style such as his. We joke in the hospital about how you've only got so many heart beats left in you, so why waste them on running and such.

Guess it's not as funny as it used to be.

This is an absolute tragedy. To happen so young... Its fair to say we know the cause, and yet another shitstorm is headed for our industry. [BB, Wrestling and Strongman are bracketed togeather by the mainstream media].

dude no offense but i've seen Jesse in person and his bodyfat wasn't quite as low as yours but he absolutely dwarfed you interms of muscle size, his arms were at least the size of your legs and one of his legs was as big as your waist.

I second this post. To be so damned smart, you say some stupid shit sometimes DW! Mr. I challenge everyone on the board, show some respect for your fellow man and competitor for once. Having a little class would probably do you some good and win you more votes than calling out anyone on a message board. Clown.

DW is a good dude but sometimes he talks out of his ass, if he saw Jesse in person he would be extremely surprised at how big he was, i've seen a lot of the top prs bb'ers in person and i'd say that Jesse was more impressive because of his combined height, width, thickness and strength, my guess is that Jesse was a big time test user from observing his behavoir, couple that with hereditary heart problems and high BP brought on by heavy high rep squats and this is what happens.

All strongmen take roids, he was as high as top 2 in a field of roiders so that is a massive achievement. You wouldn't say Pudzeonowski is all roids would you because when all the competition takes the stuff then its grit and determination that set you apart from the roided pack. Your argument is flawed. Anyway he has a family and shit, can't you not be a dick for like 1 day?!

You must know him from more than his posts, especially the ones he's made in the last few months. Because the person he projects himself to be and portrays in his posts, isn't someone I'd describe as a good dude. I was glad to see for once get bigger's come together and keep the bullshit where it belongs but, apparenlty that's alot to ask for him. You're vouching for him though and I've never taken you for stupid, so I'd hope he's not really like this all the time.

exactly, anyone who ever saw video clips of Marunde training knows that this guy trained like a fuccking demon, deep 20 rep squats with 400 pounds plus, 405 pound overhead push presses, one arm chins, crazy weights on the Olympic lifts, this guy really pushed it to the max.

As for DW, I think he once admitted to being mentally ill, and although for some it isn't a reasonable excuse, it is arguable that they certainly have their moments where they say/do things that are not contextually proper.

Anyways, all the best to the Marundes.

i'm not "vouching' for him i'm just saying that DW says a lot of shit to be annoying or shocking like a lot of young guys his age do, it's just his way of getting attention, i believe that he's maybe a little intimidated by Marunde's strength given that they were around the same height and DW is nowhere near as strong as jesse was, DW says some stupid shit sometimes but cut the guy some slack, he's young and possibly has never had to deal with tragedy but maybe he has i don't know.

I knew this would happen....I love the Worlds Strongest man episodes on ESPN. I have seen Jesse a couple of times and for some strange reason i knew he would be the next victim. These newer athletes are using drugs far more potent than anything used in the past and the effects are what we see now...incredible size, strength, speed at the cost of ones life. There was another guy from North Carolina: John Perry,  that died not to long ago. He was a BIG guy like 320 pounds or more and he too died at a very young age:..I think he was 30 or so as well. The sad thing is WSM is hosted by Bill Kazmaier who is one of the former WSM who is still alive and I believe in his fifties and doing well. This same pattern is prevelent in BB where the former BBs are still alive Bertil Fox, Lou Ferrigno, Lee Haney, Columbo, Serge, Beckles etc etc and doing well, while all of the young BB are dying or succumbing to cardiovascular conditions and surgeries.

The get rich quick, hurry up and be famous, get the awards now mindset has got to be put to rest. While we can never stop the use of drugs in sports...there has to be a return to things that are safer and dosages less LETHAL!!!

god u guys snap and act like suffering is not nature. let the man RIP but lets not be cloudy about it

we all have our days, do we want people praising us in our death for something we made the mistake on?

that is not the true way of living jesse knew the dangers, just like me when i smoke up. its all a balance of the natural consequences with luxiries we feel that we need to better our selfs or life styles.

the real focus shoulndt be internal mayhem as a consequence for simply being a #1 competitor. sometimes in life you shouldnt put all your eggs in one basket!

Being young is no excuse. You make it sound like he's 10, which is exactly what he sounds like most days. There are better ways of getting attention, as if his goof ball snuff film style youtube vids of his weren't doing enough. I'm 23 and I know he's right at my age if not a little older, some of us grow up faster and experience life sooner than others I guess. Still, there's a time and place for it and this isn't it. Man I must be in one piss ass mood to let what he said get to me. I deal with death alot in what I do. They're people still even in death, at least show ONE last parting bit of respect for their passing.

i agree, if you've experienced tragedy as far as family and friends passing away then you become more sensitive to these things, i had both my mother and sister die young so i feel for people who have to go through these things, it sucks.

The sad thing is WSM is hosted by Bill Kazmaier who is one of the former WSM who is still alive and I believe in his fifties and doing well. This same pattern is prevelent in BB where the former BBs are still alive Bertil Fox, Lou Ferrigno, Lee Haney, Columbo, Serge, Beckles etc etc and doing well, while all of the young BB are dying or succumbing to cardiovascular conditions and surgeries.

The get rich quick, hurry up and be famous, get the awards now mindset has got to be put to rest. While we can never stop the use of drugs in sports...there has to be a return to things that are safer and dosages less LETHAL!!!



Too much drugs..

Couple that with eating so much. Can't tell me it's okay to eat 3x your daily requirements at for a given period of time then stop suddenly, while injecting insulin, growth hormones, grams of test, drugs to draw water out of your body, pain killers, stimulant fat burners, now hormone fat burners, excessive tanning, shitting 3 times day and the list goes on and on.

Back in the day, the guys took some test and and ate good food. That was about it. They were off for periods of time allowing their bodies to recover and are in good health today.

god u guys snap and act like suffering is not nature. let the man RIP but lets not be cloudy about it

we all have our days, do we want people praising us in our death for something we made the mistake on?
that is not the true way of living jesse knew the dangers, just like me when i smoke up. its all a balance of the natural consequences with luxiries we feel that we need to better our selfs or life styles.

the real focus shoulndt be internal mayhem as a consequence for simply being a #1 competitor. sometimes in life you shouldnt put all your eggs in one basket!

I can assure you that when you die, I won't be praising your humanitarism...  rest assured!  you made that choice!

Praising our deaths for the mistakes we've made? WHAT?!! We're here giving our condolenses for the man he was and for what his life achievements...


Where does this shit come from? It's as if you contradict yourself every other sentence. Like you believe one thing but chastise it in another. So you're saying DON'T live life doing what you enjoy and don't trry to be successful at it? You make it sound like you knew Jesse personally and all he ever wanted to do was be number on in WSM and nothing more. That was his sole drive in everything...not to bette the sport, not to raise a family, etc.

Whatever the fuck you're smoking, I'd find out where it came from because it's cut with some bad shit!

I guess getbig is not entirely negative. I'm 22 and even I can see that sometimes being mindless and childish isn't cool, although as Squadfather points out maybe DW just hasn't experienced anything bad enough to understand.

We joke in the hospital about how you've only got so many heart beats left in you, so why waste them on running and such.


..yeah sure is a dumb joke alright. Cardio such as running would HELP! It will lower your BP, lower beats per minute, improve blood flow, relax your body, lower your weight and a thousands of other benefits. But yes being 340, no matter what you do, it will take a toll on the body, still proper cardio would help tremendously. Just don't see whats funny about your "joke", other than just an excuse to be lazy... ::) what ever helps you face the day I guess!

he wasn't 340 no matter what he or anyone else claimed, he was around 6'5" but even at that height he was MAYBE 295-300 and even that might be stretching it so it's not like he was obese, my guess is that he had some family history coupled with pushing the blood pressure to astronomical levels with 400 pound plus 20 rep deep squats like he was doing.

At age 18 he officially closed the #3 Captains of Crush Gripper. In high school, Jesse excelled in football, wrestling, arm wrestling, powerlifting and track and field. At the Washington State high school powerlifting championships, he placed 2nd with a squat of 500lbs, bench press of 295lbs and a deadlift of 540lbs in the 220lb class.

We seem to think it's ok to abuse certain drugs, but not others.  It's a foolish way to think.  Face it, all drugs are garbage, be it, coke, roids, heroin, etc.
Life is full of many risks you can take, but drugs are just a severe waste.  It's funny how people in bodybuilding, because they're so health conscience come up with all sorts of rationalizations, or get regular check ups, etc...meanwhile, they ingest garbage and wonder why shit goes wrong.

Here is one story. Jess and his wife were in Philly a few years ago for a contest. Jesse had me drive him around to every t-shirt place in the city because he wanted a specific shirt to wear in the contest. He wanted a 'Strawberry Shortcakes' shirt....remember that old kiddie cartoon? Do you know how hard it is to find a 3X strawberry shortcackes t-shirt?? We never did find one. It was a pretty funny day though walking down south street in Philly with him, John Anderson and Shannon Hartnet. Everybody just stopped and stared at all of them, one of those duck tour busses even stopped and everybody was gawking at them.

Jess was just a fun loving, positive, focused guy. Not a mean bone in his body I don't think. He and his crew of training partners trained harder than just about anybody out there.

I know there is a video of him doing 10 "clap pull-ups" at over 300lbs on youtube somewhere. He pulls himself up with enough explosiveness and on the way up he lets go and claps his hands together and grabs the bar again and does 10 like that. Pretty cool. I had never seen that before.

being that heavy, whether it is lean weight or not is unhealthy.  Some will get away with it and just live a few years shorter than they would have otherwise.  others like Jesse will pay a greater price.  Hopefully this death will help people see the consequences of getting big.

maybe it got something to do with heavy squats for high reps??  I remember one time going all out on the hacksquat, way below parallel, i wanted to do 40 fast reps, on the 27 rep, my whole body was screaming, till it hit me! i got a tremendous headache, and it lasted for days. High rep, training legs aint that healthy, is it??

you must have some big ass hands to be palming a basketball off the drible.

I've been able to do it since 8th grade.  My hands are pretty large, but I've met a lot of people with bigger hands who can't palm it at all.  I think it's because my thumb is flexible.

Here is one story. Jess and his wife were in Philly a few years ago for a contest. Jesse had me drive him around to every t-shirt place in the city because he wanted a specific shirt to wear in the contest. He wanted a 'Strawberry Shortcakes' shirt....remember that old kiddie cartoon? Do you know how hard it is to find a 3X strawberry shortcackes t-shirt?? We never did find one. It was a pretty funny day though walking down south street in Philly with him, John Anderson and Shannon Hartnet. Everybody just stopped and stared at all of them, one of those duck tour busses even stopped and everybody was gawking at them.

Jess was just a fun loving, positive, focused guy. Not a mean bone in his body I don't think. He and his crew of training partners trained harder than just about anybody out there.
Shannon Hartnet is a nice gal.
     Kind of weird that Jesse was younger than me.  Scary in fact.  I need to go see a doctor.

This was taken from his site:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friends, we suffered a great loss in the strongman community last evening. The Sequim Crew was doing what they do. Training hard and particularly training Jesse for the WSM contest in Anaheim. He died quickly and painlessly.

The squat set was as follows:
230kg x 8
190kg x 8
150kg x 8
110kg x 8
70kg x 8
Followed immediately by:
600# tire flip
265# stone load
All of this was done with no rest between sets. Rack, pull, go
At the completion of these sets Jesse laid on his back, on the cold floor like normal. Breck and Sarge noticed that his breathing was laborious. Jesse became incoherent and stopped breathing. We administered cpr, called 911 and continued to resusitate until paramedics arrived. They set up the defibrillator, epinephrin, to no avail. He was worked on for over an hour between Breck, Sarge and the paramedics.

These are the facts as it happened. We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss. We appreciate your support and prayers.

The Sequim Crew

A quote from a guy...
"Quick story about this class act. At last years Olympia I wanted his autograph for my 15yo step-son. We talked for a few minutes and got the autograph. I pulled out some cash to give him and he flat out refused. Jesse told me people people fly from all over the world to meet their heros..."why should they have to pay $5 or $10 for their autograph?"

I've been able to do it since 8th grade.  My hands are pretty large, but I've met a lot of people with bigger hands who can't palm it at all.  I think it's because my thumb is flexible.

Very few guys in the NBA can actually "palm the ball" today. It doesn't take hand strength. It just takes huge hands. Only guys like Dr. J, Chamberlain, Connie Hawkins, Shaq, actually had hands big enough. They all had hands from tip of pinky to thumb of at least 13"+.  Being able to hold the ball by gripping it with your fingers isn't "palming" the ball. Most anyone with a good sized hand can do that.

Do the top contenders in Strongmen events get regular checkups?

Sure, he may have had a weak heart to start with, but to be a top player events like this it seems you need a (more than sensible) stash of roids.

Tragic event. I don't think any sport where strenght and endurance dominate over skill is still clean today.

I hope the best for his family and may this inspire other athletes to get decent checkups.
I know that in cycling a lot of them have rigourous tests to check the condition of the heart/arteries.

His family should be given a chance to mourn.  They have enough to deal with, knowing their son got involved in some pretty seedy and disgusting things in his short life!

When will you idiots realize that steroids are very harmful?

from the coroners report : rumors are running rampant on the forums, Callie Marunde said, with people speculating about what caused Jesse Marunde’s death, frequently using drug-based themes. Yet, “the toxicology screen turned up nothing,” Callie Marunde said. “Jesse died from cardiac arthythmia due to hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy. We always knew he had a large heart and the coroner confirmed this, stating the enlarged heart was a genetic defect.  The coroner explained that Jesse could have passed anytime. I am blessed to have so many precious memories of the short time he had with our daughter.”

Callie Marunde told IronMind that she wanted to share this information from the coroner’s report because "the people who are stirring the pot" have no knowledge of Jesse’s family history as it relates to heart disease, and this should be emphasized.

you're a fucking idiot adonis.  maybe you should go on the sauce, you look about 140lbs soaking wet.  Then again im not sure how well your accountant genetics would respond.

oh brother!

so its all down to genetics yet again....hahahaha

i dont want to disrespect a dead guy but realistically if he never trained the way he did/ate the way he did/took the drugs he did/weighed as much as he did does anyone honestly think he would be dead today? sure maybe it wasnt "all drugs" but im sure it was certainly "all lifestyle"

"hope this helps"

Stu your a piece of shit i hope you get banned, this site is called getbig, why dont you fuck off to a more conservative site like dont train eat to much and be safe .com.
The guys dead show some respect.

Jesse's Coroner Report. 
http://www.ironmind.com/ironcms/mor...hp?id=2164#2164
The jerks who trash-talked Jesse should feel ashamed. His family is in enough pain, they don't need vicious speculations from people who have no idea.  Take a look at yourselves, what would people say about you in the event of your death???  Jesse was a great man who loved his family and friends, and if you wanted to be his friend, you were.
Let the man rest in peace BUT...

Where is the coroners report? Where is the toxicology report? What substances did they test for? I don't see it. This is a report from his sister who would never say anything that would reflect badly on Marunde or taint his legacy.

The workout from when he died, as reported by people that were there -

"Friends, we suffered a great loss in the strongman community last evening. The Sequim Crew was doing what they do. Training hard and particularly training Jesse for the WSM contest in Anaheim. He died quickly and painlessly.

The squat set was as follows:
230kg x 8
190kg x 8
150kg x 8
110kg x 8
70kg x 8
Followed immediately by:
600# tire flip
265# stone load
All of this was done with no rest between sets. Rack, pull, go
At the completion of these sets Jesse laid on his back, on the cold floor like normal. Breck and Sarge noticed that his breathing was laborious. Jesse became incoherent and stopped breathing. We administered cpr, called 911 and continued to resusitate until paramedics arrived. They set up the defibrillator, epinephrin, to no avail. He was worked on for over an hour between Breck, Sarge and the paramedics.

These are the facts as it happened. We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss. We appreciate your support and prayers."

Sadly, he cannot be a warrior because he didn't die in strict curl battle. The gates of Valhalla have slammed shut.

Tom Brady’s brother has sex with panda’s? Is this strictly for repopulation purposes or does he derive pleasure from this?

Wait, is pansexual people who have with pandemic victims? I am confused.

Is Jessie’s death another example of a young athlete dying from the covid vaccination?

I WANT THE TRUTH!

The damn virus was weaponized  and who better to target than one of the worlds strongest men? We were living in complete comfort in 07! This was a set up.

They crashed the housing market a year later and just as we recovered BOOM 2020 killed all the Italians!
