R.I.P. Eric.  I used to visit Denver Colorado all the time for buissness, and I would see Eric Fromm at the gym I trained when I was there all the time. The sad truth is Eric had some bad habits, that he just couldnt kick.The gym owner Harry, was good freinds with Eric, and he tried to help Eric clean up his life.

I just done understand this, you guys get all worked up about guys who obviously play with their health.
But you joke and laugh about somebody like that actor guy who just died by overdosing.
Don't get me wrong here, sure I can imagine that his mother and father girlfriend and friends feel bad about it, but let's not forget that we
all know and that you need to take some serious roids to obtain a physique like that.
Some people get away with it some don't.

Never heard of him.

RIP though. What killed him?



They don't know but it wasn't Steroids that's for sure.

Eric From was huge.I remember back in 2001 we were both in our off season, but were about 6 months out from the Mr USA. At the time I was around 285lbs, and Eric was friggin 315lbs.No he was not lean but he was very big.
Eric really had alot going for him , he had a contract with Muscle Tech, and the guy could have any girl he wanted.Eric, the owner of Colorado Pro gym and I would  hang out sometimes,  the women would just go crazy over Eric.He pulled some serious women.
Also Eric was a very talented artist believe it or not. The gym owner would hang up pictures Eric drew in the gym.He would draw pictures of Vikings, and muscular Barbarian types of men , with alot of detail.
Eric had alot going for him, its a dam shame to see such talent be wasted at such a young age.
R.I.P. Eric, my prayers are with him and his family in this time of need .

But that's the issur right there, who can tell what damage all these medications do to you year and years down the line.
I wish Doctors could prove without a doubt that certain Steroids will seriously damage your health in let's say 6 years average.
But all you hear when these guys die is: He died of a heartattack (and it's always something that was genetic).

Did you not read GetItOnNY's post? Most likely rec drug related. Like so many other bodybuilder health problems there are rec drugs involved.

You ridicule gh15's advice but he's been talking so much about the rec drug problem in bodybuilding. Rec drugs are a problem. Steroids aren't... not to any significant degree. You should listen more to what gh15 says.

I have absolutly no Problem with people taking Steroids, many believe I'm give people shit for taking this crap, not at all.
But I have a problem with hypocritism, and denying obvious issues with this sport.
Not talking about it will not make it better.

  To this is just not true.  You're only lying to yourself.  I have used and I probably would again, but I completely know that
A.Steroids increase Blood Pressure  B. They increase "Bad" cholestrol LDL.
Which are both culprits for heart disease/failure

 It's a fact dude.

The difference between you and so many Pros is that you have taking roids once? twice? but anything you inject over years and years
will damage you thats a fact,

Only if he didn't eat and went to sleep after shooting the insulin. That amount of insulin per day (splitting it up 2-3 times or more) will not kill a man of his size unless he is reckless and skips food altogether.

same here, maybe there is a certain line you cross and it gets easier like ciggarets, first time you smoke one you go... hmm that wasn't too bad I'm still alife, first time you shoot any test you are probably scared but than nothing happens... hmm I'm still alife.

I'm personaly scared of that shit, I tend to not even take painkillers or injections when I'm at the dentists, and it has nothing to do with
the injection but I don't trust that shit.

I'd almost be willing to say that guys "using" for years and over 260 are all taking at least 15 years off their life.  The heart has to work that much harder when that size.

Agreed! I was around when things started to change. Back in the 80's I started seeing guys using coke and speed to train and then valium to sleep. Then came the nubain. All of the sudden it started showing up on the lists of things that you could get and I was like WTF is this shit? One guy that I trained with used to take it before we did legs. Personally I have never even tried coke and the only time I ever had nubain was in the ER and even then the nurse had to talk me into taking it. She didn't have to talk to much though.  ;D When you are in pain it's a different story. I personally can not freakin stand the feeling you get from pain killers, but I know how easy they are to get hooked on. What a shame.

You speak from a very biased point of view as you make a living from people the "use".  I'm not saying that's bad or good, just crazy that you guys deny doing juice is so unhealthy and counterproductive.

You speak from a very biased point of view as you make a living from people the "use".  I'm not saying that's bad or good, just crazy that you guys deny doing juice is so unhealthy and counterproductive. 
 

and you speak out of your ass. I don't and never have made a living from training people.

That is crazy.  I'm amazed people even take insulin period, let alone that much.

That's the kind of attitude you need to have if you want to cut it in the pro ranks. Bodybuilding isn't about health, at least in the pro ranks of the IFBB. Like everyone else, Erik made his choice - he prioritized his muscularity over his health and that's playing Russian Roulette - some are genetically blessed / lucky / tolerant to take what they need to take and stay relatively healthy while having a decent life span. Others end up paying the price - early death, kidney failure and so on.

RIP Erik. BTW, it's Erik Fromm and not Erick From

Of course I charge, why not? but my financial world would not by any means collapse if I stopped training people. In fact, I have started to cut back since it takes up too much of my free time but anyway..

 People that know me on here know that I don't sugar coat anything. Rec drugs are a huge problem in this sport. I have seen many people run into some problems with using rec drugs whether they lifted or not. Which scenario is better. A natural BB who does coke on a daily baisis or a "user" who does 1200 mgs a week for a show for 12 to 16 weeks and never does rec drugs? I have said before that I am not for the abuse of steroids or anything for that matter. It's just that you can take a hell of a lot more steroids and not overdose so therefore the abuse dose is not really set in stone.

Yeah I agree with what you are saying, that part of being a successful bb is how you "tolerate"  juice, and how you respond.  I know when I "used", I put on 20 pounds but it didn't look good on me and I got headaches and felt shitty.  However I do have shitty genetics.

It's not just bodybuilders - heaps of common / everyday people abuse some substance or the other. It's just very convenient to take the high ground and get all condescending and disapproving on bodybuilders cause they take steroids which the guys bashing them don't have the balls to take (by their own admission). It's typical human nature - draw the line where it's convenient and declare that every thing else beyond it is monstrous and unacceptable ::)

His comment was a bit harsh, but all you drug glorifying crying for mass monsters are really one of the major problems why BB is going downhill.

the step to drugs is so much closer when you already take lots of different medication and pain killers.

True story, he would get $1500 a month from Muscle Tech plus supplements.So what he would do is sell the supplements to stores, and anybody that would by them.He had a great sense of humor.One time I told him "Eric you got up to 315lbs by using Cell Tech, and Stacking it with Nitro-Tech".He said you got it, as he smiled, he then said, "one of these days I am thinking about trying the protein powder out".That was after he was with Muscle Tech for atleast 2 years, lol .

He was actually fairly well known , placing top 5 in National shows consistently and had a Muscle Tech contract. He was doing great for a amateur, and I always thought he would eventually turn Pro, then he dissapeared from the scene a couple of years ago.

All of his friends, are saying there was 2 diffrent Erics.The Eric that was an amazing person, who was driven and loved life.Then there was the Eric that got corrupted by Tom Prince, "The Prince of Darkness" as they call him in Denver.
I spoke to about 3-4 of his friends, including his mentor, in Denver, and they all say, that once he started hanging around Tom Prince, Eric went down hill from there.
They all said, Tom is the person who introduced him to Nubaine.
I am not blaming Tom for Erics death, but Eric at one time looked up to Tom Prince, because Tom Prince was a pro bodybuilder, and that is something Eric wanted more then anything.Eric loved being on stage, and loved fans walking up to him and asking him for is autograph.He lived for it.
If you talk to anyone of Erics friends in Denver they refer to Tom Prince as the "Prince of Darkness" because they blame him for corrupting Eric aswell as alot of other bodybuilders.Yes Eric should have never used Nubaine, but a pro bodybuilder Tom should know better then to intoduce  people try a very very adictive  injectable pain killer.It seems Tom not only fucked his own life, he did a good job of screwing up alot of other peoples lives aswell.

Fromm got what he deserved.  I will reserve by sympathy and tears for true tragedies; rapes, stabbings, famines and senseless wars!

Erik Fromm is far from being classified as a tragedy.  His death is a result of drug abuse; pure and simple!

If this 'roided oaf' had stayed away from meth-heads like Cormier, he would still be around to 'shoot' another day!

God bless his poor family, who now have to bury their drug addicted son!
Yet another hypocrite chiming in. As a Christian wouldn't you say any death is a tragedy? Sorry Shawn Hank, I guess that doesn't apply to your bible.

Some of you guys are complete assholes. You say people aren't hurting anyone but themselves by taking various drugs and now you want to pass judgment?  The guy hasn't competed for 3.5 years and how do any of you know what his current state was... You don't.

Fromm got what he deserved.  I will reserve by sympathy and tears for true tragedies; rapes, stabbings, famines and senseless wars!

Erik Fromm is far from being classified as a tragedy.  His death is a result of drug abuse; pure and simple!

If this 'roided oaf' had stayed away from meth-heads like Cormier, he would still be around to 'shoot' another day!

God bless his poor family, who now have to bury their drug addicted son!

i'm sure the Fromm family will appreciate your kind words ::)

Watch what you are saying...people get a little hmm stiff lipped when you mention people dying from Steroid abuse.

Watch what you say. The word "steroid" never appeared in my post. I just said the death toll continues.

 The hypocrisy endemic in bodybuilding circles is staggering. Everyone knows the amount and level of widespread drug abuse amongst people in this industry; it's like the porn industry - which has actually cleaned up its act a bit recently - was a few decades ago. It's totally self-destructive and full of drug taking and debauchery that seems to make the participants no happier in their troubled lives. Most people either do nothing and look on as these people , who are often very impressionable and of limited intellect, descend into a spiral of addiction leading to prostitution and/or death, or they're too busy taking or supplying the highs.

Then, when someone finally succumbs, there is a lot of hand-wringing and mock grief when if people really cared they would actually have done something to clean up this shitty, drug infested, parasite-ridden, joke of a 'sport'.

 The time has come to clean up the excessive drug taking - the training cocktails are making the physiques look worse and about 70% of these users have habits that make them practically indistinguishable from street junkies shuffling around outside the HIV drop-in center.

Funny whoever you are, after reading this, I know know you are 100% telling the truth. A good friend of mine is Scott Milne he and I were talking about this at the gym tonight.  He said pretty much exactly what you just said.  Tom Prince gave him his first shot of Nubain.  Said they were in Venice,CA at the time.

I thought Milne's dad sent him off to school to London and forbid him to dabble in anything bodybuilding related after the bust? and after that guy ratted a bunch of people out... I'm surprised he's still walking...

I just done understand this, you guys get all worked up about guys who obviously play with their health.
But you joke and laugh about somebody like that actor guy who just died by overdosing.
Don't get me wrong here, sure I can imagine that his mother and father girlfriend and friends feel bad about it, but let's not forget that we
all know and that you need to take some serious roids to obtain a physique like that.
Some people get away with it some don't.

They don't know but it wasn't Steroids that's for sure.

Most deaths occur due to recreational drugs along with heavy cycles, insulin, combined with stimulants, water loss supplements etc.

If steroids were the issue, then why is Arnold healthy?

Fact is that many dead wrestlers, bbers all did coke, drank, took painkillers, insulin and on top of that, anabolic steroids.

You can push the humanbody only to a point.

He played with filth like Cormier and Co and now rests in a coffin. He was oh so popular....hahahaha

I welcome more premature deaths.  Only then will this industry acknowledge that there is something seriously wrong with this so-called sport.

I pray for more young so-called athletes to die from the needle. Only then will this abomination known as Professional Bodybuilding admit that is major systemic flaws within its ranks.

Just ignore Hank, he is just a negative sick minded child. Eric Fromm was everything Hank will never be. Eric 315lbs at 5'11" , he would have been a good pro , he got more then his share of hot women, and he got alot of exposure through out every magazine.Hank is a loser, who probably weighs 150lbs, lives with his mom in her basement, were he has a Sears cement weight set.With only 200 lbs of odd weights, some plastic, some steal, some rubber.
Eric on the other hand pulled more women in a day, then Hank will pull in his entire life.
Eric did guest posing appearences, and was always at the Muscletech booths until the last few years, signing autographs and taking pictures with his fans.
Eric had alot of things going for him.I remember he would charge people $2500-$3000 to fly to Denver and train with him for a week, at Colorado Pro Gym.Beleive it or not he did quite well with his personal training buissnes.He also did pretty well with charging people for diets, pre-contest,and  off season.
So Eric was only making $1500 from Muscletech, plus about $500 extra selling the supplements they gave him for the month.But he made most of his money guest posing, and training high end clients.

I used to travel to Denver around twice a month for buissness, and because I was dating a person who lived in Denver at the time.So I trained at Colorado Pro Gym quite often, it was a great gym .
If you guys are ever in Denver Colorado , stop by Colorado Pro Gym, its a great place to train.The owner Harry is a great guy, and the gym has great equiptment.

   AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FROMM FAMILY

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fromm,

I would like to offer my condolences in what is a very difficulty time.  The passing of Erik is an absolute tragedy. It must be so painful knowing that his short life has been cut short.

Mr. and Mrs. Fromm, you always showed support for Erik in his quest to be the best Professional Bodybuilder on the planet.  Even though you new very little about this so-called sport, you unconditionally supported your son, because that is what loving parents do.

Please do not blame yourself for Erik's death.  You tried to help him when it became evident that his 'excessive lifestyle' was spiralling further out of control .  However, by the time you became aware of how deep Erik's addictions were, it was too late!

Mr. and Mrs. Fromm, bodybuilding is a very self destructive profession.  Many fall to the temptations of drug dealing, substance abuse, prostitution and financial scams.  Unfortunately, your son got caught up in the wrong crowd and went down that seedy path to self implosion.

My prayers are with you both, in what is a devastating but inevitable moment in your lives.

God bless,

Hank Wood.

If your genetic limit so to speak is 200 then you can get to 220 with one cycle of whatever. Just remember that a drug built muscle needs drugs to maintain it's look. Stop the drugs and the muscle goes away.

Erik always relished attention.  As a teenager he would dance around his bedroom with his undies pulled deep into his  butt crack ( Ronnie Coleman-style) and do double-biceps to the mirror.

Erik graduated to 'real' bodybuilding a few years later.  He grew dramatically with the help of steroids and a heavy-protein diet.

Yes, Erik had a death wish, and like so many before him, checked out early.  My bet is, if there is a heaven, then Erik is up there, hunting down a bag of meth and some syringes.

No.. Team Nasser as a whole promotes Nasser though visual evidence, truth and other things. We back him up in a professional manner.

Sharma is a bit extreme. He disrespects people due to drug use when drug use a huge part of the business. I don't think Nasser would approve of his antics.

 Actually Nasser takes a very dim view of recreational drug use as he has seen exactly what it has done to people close to him. He has seen the addict the DCM. Also, I have been a Nasser fan for 12 years and know a lot more about him than you. Nasser only took the drugs he HAD TO for his job which was a pro bodybuilder , and a fucking great one.

I have never said that I represent Nasser or the TEAM on all issues. I just make the point that I have supported Nasser a lot more and a lot longer than you.

I am not gimmick too. I don't like the fact that you're a Muslim and yet keep talking about taking street drugs. I think it's a disgrace tbh but I have kept my tongue sheathed as I thought we were supposed to be friends and part of a team.

No.. Team Nasser as a whole promotes Nasser though visual evidence, truth and other things. We back him up in a professional manner.

All bodybuilders use drugs .. In all honesty Jock.. Would you ever inject anything that you can by off someone in the streets(Cocaine,Heroin,Meth).. ?  These are uppers and downers.. So what's different with bodybuilders (Nasser)? Bodybuilders inject stimulants,Also downers (to help them sleep).What's the difference ? One makes you strung out... and one makes you big (except for BillyGuns).

Nasser El Sonbaty takes NOTHING but what he has/had to to maintain his pro physique. He does not take any recreational drugs at all and keeps alcohol to a minimum. Don't tar him with the same brush as these drug addicts and dealers like Milos.

You stupid thick idiot. I made clear that he takes steroids and GH but no recreational drugs at all. He took the steroids and GH because it was his career dipshit. He has been very careful to avoid recreational drug taking as he has seen firsthand the effects of it on junkies like Milos.

Or is he doing it to be cool and walk aroung 240lbs. with abs(there's no way he's 300lbs).?Maintanance? HAHAHA! You f@gs  believe anything ..? Maintain what? Muscle? No need for all that muscle .It's a sad thing, when an old man has to continue to take drugs in order for people to like him !  You don't have to feel bad for me or my mother ..You're the one that's parents should be ahamed of..I'm a man ..I married a beautiful woman ,and have a wonderful family..

If your genetic limit so to speak is 200 then you can get to 220 with one cycle of whatever. Just remember that a drug built muscle needs drugs to maintain it's look. Stop the drugs and the muscle goes away.



I think if your natural max potential is 220, that is if Matt C could get there evenutally only through natural training, then he could maintain 220 after he went off the roids if he followed proper diet and nutrition.

However if you juice up to 260 you will eventually come down to your natural max 220.


Make sense Matt?

I think it's about time that everyone saying steroids don't harm people take a look at the reality of the situation and the actual numbers of those taking steroids who are dying or ending up in the hospital.  It's also time that everyone crying 'steroids did it, steroids did it' start realizing that EVERYTHING DID IT.  There is nothing healthy about mainstream bbing right now.  Steroids are the least harmful of all the drugs they are taking, BUT they are still damn harmful.  The drugs, plus the awful eating, plus the lifestyle of the average bber(i think most of us can guess the sort of things I am referring to here) are what's killing bodybuilders...not just steroids-although steroids are part of it and don't think for a second that they aren't.

Steroids probably didn't do anything. It would be the HGH and slin that causes the problems, mixed with rec drugs. Its entirely possible to take gear and be safe and healthy. Just comes down to what you take, how much you take, and what you mix it with.

we've all heard that before.  I think it's entirely possible to take gear in a way that minimizes damage to the body, but anymore than that I'm not ready to believe.  But like I said, too many people blaming steroids and too few people not acknowledging that steroids do cause health problems-and psychological problems count!-recreational drugs aren't taken for no reason; maybe if steroids didn't cause psychological issues people wouldn't be so quick to indulge in recreational drugs or harder bbing related drugs.

i think that it would be a much more different scenario if steroids were less Taboo, that doctors would know and give the best advice on them, that people wouldn't have to resort to underground brands, injecting stuff that isnt pharmaceutical-grade, without the proper guidance of a physician....

im sure that would immensely change the # of young guys dying in the sport.
too many just like to experiment on themselves as if they feel they're invincible.
not the case here, and in many other deaths.

until this happens (probably never will) bodybuilders will always face this issue.

Shame to see how people talk all kind of trash about a dead person! I have been Erik, friend for almost 6 years and the guy have never did anything or talk about any one in a bad way. Yes he did in the past have some problems with all kind of narcotic etc.. But believe me when I tell you that my last conversation with Erik, it was like a few days before he passed and I know for sure that he was a clean for almost a year and that is including any roids. He was doing great in generals. Erik, was closer to God and the bible more then he ever been. He was engaged to be married soon. So please let's not just assume stuff and wait until the autopsy determined what was the cause. He was working that morning and went to work on his break and his fiancée and friend found him dead on the floor and I want to mention another thing so you all can be aware of, the police and family searched his house and could not find anything that could determine the cause. so please instead of some of you on this board have to go on bashing Erik, say a prayer for the lost of good young man instead. Thank you and God bless.

I saw him guest pose several years ago.  He wore this Viking costume and stripped it off as part of his routine.

Coincidently, a while before his guest pose, I just happened to be in the lobby of the auditorium and suddenly found myself standing next to him.  He was about my height 5'8"-ish.  He looked good, there and on stage.

Very sad.

operation 2007 was done for eric,,it was done for many reasons but one reason i supported this operation was eric

1. narcotics will be eliminated from bodybuilding in my life time

2. bodybuilding will be 100% clean of underground garbage hormones in my life time,,not only 99% clean but 100% that means the little ip guys will be eliminated too because they are origin to many problems and many other lines of underground garbage

3. john mccain in white house will bring everything to where it needs to be and it is a whole new look at things and complete elimination of underground scene and narcotics scenes from sports while making limited availability/limited control/bronkaid approach to the public of needed hormones human grade hormones such as testosteroen and nandrolone,,dianabol anadrol oxandrolone made by real pharma thus making big pharma richer and little you happy,,the independent republican likes this idea and it will be accomplished

4. 60units insulin is more than common with many ,,the 60units is 90s thinking and dorian yates  time but he atleast could carry the look off,,now days it is a lot more than 60units insulin i can assure you that ,,there is no way to stop it unless judges start rewarding smaller physiqes

5. abuse of drugs will always be existant in bodybuilding but its not going to be narcotics abuse,,i blame narcotics for the ruining the sport of bodybuilding,,our sport is now at its lowest point ever because so many use narcotics even though they dont tell you THEY DO,,cocaine speed x weed meth ghb nubain percosets oxy valium 100 other drugs that has no place in bodybuilding what so ever but became integral part of bodybuilding and it will be HORROR IF GUYS IN HIGHSCHOOL OR GIRLS IN HIGHSCHOOL START ABUSING THEM BECAUSE THEY ALREADY ABUSED HORMONES ALL THROUGH 2000-2007,,THIS OPERATION WAS DONE FOR MANY IN THE IFBB BUT IT WAS MAINLY DONE FOR NUMBER OF GUYS AND ERIC WAS ONE OF THEM,,GA BROUGHT DOWN ,,,NORIC/PEPTIDES IS BEING LOOKING AFTER VERY VERY HARD RIGHT NOW AND NUMBER OF OTHERS INORDER TO PREVENT MORE ERICS,,

this is killing bodybuilding ,,we are almost dead as a sport,,if you have any love for this industry and sport ,,if you ever want to get it back into where arnold took it ,,things got to change,,you can help by saying NO TO NARCOTICS ,,IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU SAY NO TO NARCOTICS NO MATTER WHAT GURU COMES AROUND OR WHAT YOUR BUDDY TOLD YOU

if we dont stop it now they will stop us,,im tellin you they will stop us if we dont put a stop to it

Do they now? Well yes as a matter of fact they do but let's look at your posts Croatch. Why are you so down on a lifter/athelete furthering themselves with the use of drugs? Does it really effect your world that much? Sorry man but theres hypocrisy in your posts whether you can see it or not.  The mere issue of it bothering you in itself speaks volumes of your own character.
At the end of the day, who really gives a rats ass what joe blow does with his life?
I dont.
Think about this before you offer your higher ground rebuttal. That's all.

Well, his relative, I think his sister said he was clean for the last year and this had nothing to do with recs. Maybe this doesn't count as recreational use to them.

Rec use? It's clear that he was as serious as a heart attack about his use.

Joe Blow has to be allowed to do whatever he wants with his life, but he also has to understand that doing things to his own bodies affects other people's bodies(and minds) as well.  Everything that we do does.  Whenever we do something that has an ill effect on our health, then we have to make up for it in one way or another-and often these ways are very detrimental to a lot of people.
