Hey Mike, does it look to you like he lost muscle all over? His conditioning was pretty bad too, but he looks very stringy.

WOW!  He lost alot of size from what he used to compete at, I wonder what happened.  He looked massive a few weeks ago.  Thats too bad.

Either way i feel sorry for Luke. All that hard work for something to go wrong right at the last stage.

If you drop 20lbs with Lasix for example it will look like you just lost 20lbs of muscle if you are already dry and extremely lean like Luke was. Muscle = mostly water.

Bro dropping 20 pounds of water and looking flat is one thing, but dropping water wouldn't cause you to look like you put on fat, I mean diuretics still should make you look leaner even if you overdo them.

Do you think he put on fat and/or lost muscle tissue (not just water)? What do you think happened here?

Your probably right, but I just can't get over this, this is so disturbing, unbelievable. I am in the middle of my diet and I already have everything mapped out like clockwork on how everything is going to go and seeing this just makes me want to hang it all up.

I saw Luke in the gym two weeks out, he was in insane condition, he peaked way too early for this show and couldn't hold it.

Plain and simple, a bad miscalculation. Too bad because he was huge and ripped like crazy.

I really don't want to bash Luke, but I can feel the excuses coming on of mystery viruses etc. Maybe Hank Wood was right regarding Luke.

Luke really needs to work on his weakness. His physique has little flow. The fdb is the most telling of all shots. And the pointy rear delts are a bad look. All the best to him, but needs to take some time off.

Well something aint doing right. There is something wrong when you are in great condition at x weeks out, and then decide that you have to change your strategy. If it is working, stick with it. Stop messing around with stuff. Luke is seriously in need of some ab training also. Even when ripped his abs are incredibly flat.

That's what he did - he recently took some time off and downsized for a while.

"Working on his weaknesses" won't change anything. No pro changes their proportions. It's genetics.

Like others have said ----> WOW

that incredible grainy, old man look 8 weeks out was concerning in itself......now this.....this is not the Luke of old....

someone screwed up big time

I'm pointing the finger at Milos....

Luke should forget about the downsizing rubbish.....it doesn't work for these top flight bber's.....you can't go from being massive, back to a point in size that you passed on the way up....that you passed 2-3-4 years ago on the way up.....it doesnt work like that....Ronnie 2007 perfect example....the muscles lose their fullness and lines and start to blend into each other......the projectory for all these IFBB guys is forwards and onwards.......you want the huge aesthetic look, fine, but you should have thought about it on the way UP.....


come on Luke, dont fall for the Milos shit.....lift big, get huge and shredded...someone like Charles Glass' approach.......piss Milos off and his witches broths....and I've seen that ridiculous super-setting bullshit he promotes....nothing but pump........and then it becomes the illusion of the pump....I can hear Milos after a w/o "see guys, see the blood, this is the way".....oh yeahhhhhhhhh, and that chemical soft-drink you get them to take.....WANKER!.....these guys did perfectly well for several or more years lifting weights before they met Milos....they need refinement, they dont need a radical change from what works best for the them.....

If he could hold his size and conditioning that he had in the 8 weeks out pics, he could be a force. But whenever it gets near showtime, something goes "off"

He doesn't have to hang up the trunks yet, just needs to part ways with Milos and try another approach.

CORTISOL EXPLOSION caused by insulin loading and excessive diuretics, Luke more than likely dropped around 15 to 20 unneccesary pounds, overnight, why, because he would have overdone his loading with insulin and carbs, its a hit miss, and why when you are in better condition than nearly all of the top 5 show day, 8 weeks out would you do it.

Um no, probably nothing in his "private life"...just a big bit of a mess up (if you know what i mean) the few days prior...maybe too much (or too little for that matter) of something.

You are right, I do not know exactly what goes on in Luke's (he wasn't "around" when i was) life but i do "know" quite a bit of what goes on in some "pro's" lives and mostly some that goes on in the those that work with Milos.

He should keep trying, he obviously looks insane a few weeks out and just stuffs up at the last minute.

Maybe he should do the group of shows early next year and plan to come into the Ironman a little heavy.

I don't think he's ever shown up 'off' to a show, just flat, maybe plan to compete a few in a row and the first one in the middle of dieting.

I don't know, but I do know I saw him the day the day those pics were taken, he was huge and ripped, IMO he just peaked too early and couldn't hold it...

But he is a hell of a nice guy, so good luck to him in the future.

From Milos:

I will gladly share with all of you what happened - and I am sure Luke will be glad to tell everyone what really happened...

Needless to say - it was devastating to even watch him...and what photos can't show - all of us that had a chance to be around him - witnessed how Luke was really feeling each and every day in his last two weeks of preparation...

If I would tell you guys that he was EATING LIKE FOOD IS GETTING OUT OF STYLE...that he didn't do any cardio in last 10 days...hadly trained...and also DID NOT TOUCH ANY KIND OF DIURETICS - would you believe me?

While I can't go into great detail at this point (I just returned from my trip and have soooooo much to do...) I will share with you this much:

Many bodybuilders (majority of competitors that I know...me included...) in their contest preparation use specific THYROID medication protocol...(namely: T3 - CYTOMEL or TRIACANA...+ T4 - SYNTHROID, TEVOTHYROXINE) to pharmacologicaly enhance metabolism - in effort to get leaner and loose some body fat...

So, that is something that everyone considers pretty much normal...

However, IF anyone attempts to abuse thyroid - results could be devastating...

What I've learned from Luke - upon his arrival to California is that he feels some strange exhaustion lately and that he is running out of breath quite easily...
Also, he was always hot, sweating just way too much and way more than ever before...and certainly much more than ordinary...

First thing I asked him was to hit few posses - so I could asses his condition...and when he did that - I was speechless...Luke was in THE MOST INCREDIBLE CONDITION I have ever witnessed...Absolutely "skinless" yet - big, full and hard...Winning combination any which way you look at it...The only problem was: he could not hit any pose without shaking uncontrollably...

When I asked him "how come you are shaking so much?" - he answered - " I really don't know what is happening to me...but last few days I am running out of breath doing simplest things...and I have no energy for the life of me..."

I asked him: "Well, are you doing anything different?"...thinking our usual stuff...and he told me - NO....

Than why would you shake like a leaf? I asked....

"Mate - I have no idea...but this has to stop - as I don't know how would I last during the prejudging?"


OK Luke - how much thyroid are you taking?

Not much...just 2 + 2 / that means in "our terminology" 2 tablets of T3 and 2 tablets of T4 daily...(T3 or "cytomel" comes in 25 mgc per tablet and T4 or "synthroid" comes in 50 or 100 mcg per tablet...

Well, that is OK I guess...so what's next?...

By process of elimination  I would have analyze everything he was doing/taking just to find out WHAT in the world is doing "IT" to Luke...until I realized - CATASTROPHIC NEWS...

Compounded pharmaceuticals Luke got a hold of as his substitute for CYTOMEL and SYNTHROID... had 2.5 and 10 per tablet...ONLY PROBLEM IS:

NOT mcg (micrograms) but mg (milligrams)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now to understand this - you must calculate:

2 tablets of 2.5 mg of T3 = 5 mg of T3 (which is: 5000 mcg of T3 - equivalent to 200 tablets of CYTOMEL per day!!!!!)

Add to this 2 tablets of 10 mg of T4 (or 20000 mcg of T4)...and you'll understand WHAT WAS GOING ON...


What is worse -- it is still NOT OVER...

Luke is trying his hardest to re-establish NORMAL levels of thyroid...but that will take some time...


I will wait for him to jump in and explain few things - but for the time being - I wanted to inform all of you - before rumors reach "epic proportions"...

Milos said "compounded pharmaceutical ... substitute"... sounds like luke got some raw shit that was not processed for human consumption and happily ingested it. Although why it would be in pill form is beyond me.  Seems like there's more to this story than meets the eye. I guess Milos doesn't want to portray Luke as having the intelligence of a five year old.

Bingo, plus with bodybuilders propensity to exaggerate numbers, likely that Luke perhaps didn't just take 2 + 2, but took more.

so when he was in thailand he took normal T3 and then when he came to the states he took the compound shit, and thats stuffed him up, thats ridiculous, were supposed to believe that theres no standard t3 in Fullerton he could have taken, ive seen t3 eat guys up pre comp when they drop off the hgh, hgh seems to be very anti catabolic and allow you to use more thyroid without losing muscle, but when you drop it, it just eats you up, no matter what your mgs are, the explanation fits the photos.

sarcev's explanation is BS

if Wood was taking 2x 10mg of T4/day for weeks that is 20000 micrograms/day , let alone T3
normal dose for person with hypothyroidism is anywhere from 50 to 250 micrograms/day

so if u believe sarcevs story Wood shld be dead or close to death

and yes, i too have heard stories of Wood's mega dosing and being one of the biggest dealers in australia

Quote from: Pro Luke Wood;634505
Firstly thankyou so much Milos for explaining this! Guys for those who do not buy it or think its a BS story than i don't really care! No one is more gutted or more upset than me! 3 weeks out of this show i was in the shape of my life and very confident of not nly being at my all time best but actually qualifying for the Olympia! BUT!! I knew about 4-5 weeks out that something was not right!  I got some Thyroid from a sorce i will not disclose! (no one would know them anyway) Yes it was dumb and i am only human! I had some bad exprience sometime back with thyroid and (2004 Aussie GP) and it ate me alive as i was taking stupid amounts. Since than i use very, very little of it. I hate the stuff but sometime when we want something so bad we turn a blind eye and do DUMB thngs!
While i was in Thailand i was using a small does of pharmacetical grade t4 (150mcg/day). I had this other home made stuff and i thought why not just add a little. This was about 6 weeks out. I was all ready way ahead and for the life of my i have no idea when i took it but thats the devil on your shoulder telling you that can be harder and harder..... Me thinking that i was taking 25mcg /day was so far from the truth!! The thing is that for the first 2 weeks i just got so shredded and my energy was ok!!! and i was eating 1,000g carbs /day as i was getting harder and harder. Abiut 4 weeks out of the show i was getting very, very tired!!! by the time i got to Cali to see Milos i was more than ready to get one stage!!! Milos said and i qoute, "You are as dry as dorian"!!! We were both confident of top 3! I was receiving emails daily from people all just amazed at my condition. The thing is when i would pose for Milos it was like i was breathing through a needle! I coudld'nt catch my breath and could not stop shaking! I thought it was maybe the clen, so i stopped it completely but i was getting worst! The more food Milos gave me the more i was going catabolic!

I cannot even explain to you how bad i felt! i was looking amazing and was just trying to ignore the symptoms but when i was falling asleep between sets and just so out of it, we knew that something i was doing was not aggreeing and possibly doing damage!

Milos never ever tells BS so what he posted is 1000% true! By the time we found out (milos took me to a specialist who deals with this) the massive, massive doses it was too late! you cannot just stop thyroid cold turkey!! it has to be graudule. The horse had bolted by than as they say and with one week to go i just could'nt hold my weight for the life of me. Even mcdonalds 2-3 times/day!!
I had to come off slowly and i still am with also special medication! When my thyroid was tested 10 days out it was through the roof and resting pulse rate was almost 100! but to the specialist amazement my thyroid was still in good condition when they test for certian damage and they is no permantly damage!! what they call THYROID STORM or THYROID SHOCK! im lucky! VERY LUCKY! I had more blood work done 5 days out and it was a little better reading but still at a ridiculos level to really be able to compete. But i did'nt care i wanted so bad to get on stage! I had so many people supporting me and man i feel so terrible about letting them down! Beleive me guys that if i knew...... i can 100% honeslty say that this is the safest i have ever been for a show! i was so cautious with everything it did except one major thing and really i am lucky to be here!

To all my mates, family, fans and Milos, i am SO VERY SORRY!! i feel very embarrassed and i feel i have let you all down!
I know the main thing is that my health will be ok and it a the near future my thyroid will be back to normal but it does not take the pain away that i worked soooooooo damn hard for this show and all the time i took off and money spend was and feels like a waste! Again i feel let down all you people!

I did prove though that i can come back and show that i can still be a force and can still get on that olympia stage!

There will be no backyard vitamin crap for the Australia Grand Prix and i will be back!

Thankyou all so very much! the support i got and still get really does bring a lump to my throat!

Something is fishy with this story. Sure it's very possible a UG lab would make such a mistake but from Milos' explanation it sounds like the tabs were dosed like that intentionally. Compounded, as in compounding pharmacy tabs? No way.

If it's true how come he was onstage and not in the hospital on beta blockers etc? A doc would have immediately admitted him instead of letting him compete. Thyroid storm is a life threatening situation, especially at those insane doses!

FWIW

What is compounding?
 
Compounding is any manipulation of a drug beyond that stipulated on the drug label. Compounding should be implemented based on a licensed practitioner's prescription, to meet the medical needs of a specific patient.

Manipulation might include mixing, diluting, concentrating, flavoring, or changing a drug's dosage form to accommodate a specific patient's needs.

Examples of compounding would include:

*mixing two injectable drugs;
*creating an oral suspension from crushed tablets or an injectable solution;
*or adding flavoring to a commercially available drug.

There's a new trend out there to "base" with T4 and add a smaller amount of T3 on top of it.  The logic being that with T3 you need a little more T4 than you do T3 for them both to work optimally.  It's like a 2-stage fat burning.  You're burning up everything you put in that way.  Just need alot of the other stuff for it to work optimally.

Thyroid is something I suggest to never mess with.  Even in medically prescribed dosages to patients with thyroid deficiencies, we can see significant side effects when the dose is too high. These dosages are crazy.  Guys, don't screw around with your thyroid.  In addition to the potential side effects, you can shut down your thyroid production, which can an absolute disaster. 

IMO, Luke looked magnificent in 2005 NY Pro...before manipulating so many variables.  Back to basics is my amateur and humble opinion.

I agree with you here. Im sure even friggin dr's that truly KNOW THEIR SHIT wouldnt recommend it even if completely "monitored" for safety purposes.. it may work fine and no probs, but it only takes 1 time to do damage.

Arnold used thyroid hormones. Fact. There are some here who have talked about one doc who "treated" Arnold. He put everyone on thyroid.

Overdosing thyroid is very dangerous. Thyroid gland damage is not common at all.

i agree, it is not medically supported, in even the most extreme long term usage of thyroid, the ntural production kicked back in within 2 weeks.

however no one has ever experimented with such a massive doseage before.

it wil be interesting if luke's thyroid recovers fully or not, if it does it should put the final nail in the coffin of these thyroid drug doom mongers. :)

Sure, this is an extreme case... if true this should go in the history books. I doubt anyone took this much thyroid ever, even in suicide attempt. My guess is the thyroid will be fine. There could be some other problems... with the heart etc. But a resting pulse of 100 is nothing. I would've guessed it much higher ODing this much.

First & foremost, I worry about my friend and am so glad he didn't have a worse issue.

When we adjust thyroid dosages, we wait at least 6 weeks between serum testing...my point is that the half life is longer than many other meds & hormones.  I knew two people who had a thyroid crash.  1 went into a myxedema coma (Look it up).
Thyrotoxicosis can be deadly, causing various arrythmias.  I've also seen that.  At these doses, thats what I'd be worried about.
Bullshit its not medically supported....your used to seeing thyroid abnormalities that have been treated.  It can be serious.

Was the myxedema coma a result of thyroid hormone use in previously healthy people (healthy thyroid)? Thyroid hormone use can have severe sides - I'm just commenting on shutting down the thyroid permanently after using it for bb purposes. Do you know of that happening?

Most of the people that shut their thyroid down for a long period of time are treated with thyroid medicine and then monitored so I don't know how long is average.  I suppose it would depend on dose, duration of use, and individual suceptibility.  I'd have to do a lit search to answer better.
My basic point is that I've seen some bad cases so I would treat thyroid with great caution.

I assume it would be very uncommon to have permanent thyroid shut down, typically we see problems for 4-8 weeks...but with thyroid abnormalities, that can seem like a long time and the medical risks are increased compared to altering some of the other hormones.  There was one person I knew who had to stay on thyroid medicine after using high doses without medical monitoring.  Again, the point is that it can be dangerous.
Take for instance the HTPA.  After exogenous androgens, particularly high doses and long duration...you can see some degree of HTPA dowregulation for 3-9 months.  I had to look this up in an endocrinology book & worked with an endocrine specialist for a patient with major problems after a prolonged cycle.  Of course, we told him to stay away from all anabolics!

Post by: michael arvilla on September 16, 2008, 07:48:45 PM
Ok, so we are all saying that it was "something else" that was changed on that final day that brought this conditioning to Luke.

Truth is (as explained below by Milos recently) is that the condition you see Luke in on stage at the Atlantic was the EXACT same condition he was in the week out pictures from 3-2 weeks out onwards ONLY the "disaster" of his physiqe was covered up to the world of bodybuilding by first eating a huge calorie meal to fill him up plus photos to be taken with a pump after a workout.

I believe it was soley the T3 and T4 but it was disguised to the fans as to the real effects it was having on Luke.
It just ate him up as explained here by Milos:




After i had asked this question:



How did this effect his condition though?
We understand the overdose, but this was something he was already going through in his "week out" pics but still he looked ripped and conditioned to hell in those pics while going through all this.

What was it that gave the change to his physique - nothing like the week out pictures?
This seems to happen only in the last few hours - why?



...Milos answers:



It was not last few hours - it was EVERY DAY for the last couple of weeks that his body would fluctuate to the point that people would NOT believe it is humanly possible.

Imagine WHAT is happening in the body with 100 times level of ANY MEDICAMENT...let alone 100 times the levels of both THYROID (T3 + T4)?!

I challenge anyone to tell me HOW could someone change so dramatically OTHERWISE...

Luke can give additional details...but I will say this:
Anyone who saw him in last two weeks after two seconds being around would ask him: "Are you OK Luke..?'
Something that started bothering him so much that he actually snapped once and told me - Why is everyone asking me if I am OK...?

Until I would tell him: " Luke, people are genuinely concerned - they see you breathing so hard - it seems like you are being choked continuously - grasping for some little oxygen...You are sweating profusely...and you look like you are going to pass out any moment...Don't be mad at them - many come to me first and ask me with great concern...and all I can tell them is: he'll be OK..."

Photos that I posted along the way were all done after MAJOR Eating + pumping in the gym...and some days he actually looked like he could pull it off...

But, with each passing day he had to add another 1000 calories...and another...and another...and he just had it...

I wouldn't see him for 24 hours and after that time - i would not believe my eyes - he would shrink to nothing...

One day of "loading" would bring some size back...and usually two days would be needed to be back...but just like a balloon - the second he stops eating - he starts deflating...and deflating...and...deflat ing...


For the record:

I had him DOUBLE HIS CALORIES, STOP THE CARDIO COMPLETELY and I would NOT let him take any diuretic, drop the water or sodium...(in case some of the geniuses start speculating that I did "something"...)

I would love to see if ANYONE could screw-up condition, shape and size Luke had 3 weeks out with absolutely ANYTHING - to the point what happened to Luke...

It is impossible even if you try...Even if you do everything WRONG and than some - human body would still have some limitations...However, take 100 times recommended amount of not just ONE thyroid medication but 100 times t3 and 100 times t4 - for prolonged period of time (even short 3 weeks...) and see what happens...You will disappear...in no time!

No power on this world would STOP THE DISASTER - I guarantee it...

I lived it once (to the certain degree...back in 2003...0 and I just saw it for the second time - MOST HORRIFYING EVENT - where physique which could place in top three - in any pro show becomes physique that doesn't belong on that stage...

And the worse thing - it is my close friend...and the athlete...

So, for all of you guys that jump to conclusions - take a moment and think:

How do you think Luke feels about it?
When full years work, incredible sacrifices, strict dieting, crazy workouts...tons of money, time, sweat, blood and tears...go into SINGLE MISTAKE...Taking medication from "underground compounding pharmacy" that made MEDICAMENT intended for suicide - for anyone who would consider taking - without realizing that "genius pharmacist" who should be arrested) made tablets with these amounts of thyroid in them...!

Who is necessarily more at fault. The guy that supplies the drugs, or the guy that is taking the drugs. I think in a black market the responsibility is all back on the person taking the drugs. If your willing to take it then its your own fault.

Luke also said something about taking 1000 carbs a day during stages. You think it would trigger that this is not normal.

Luke is 5'11.  Do you think that 205 pounds at 8% body fat is realistic if he had trained drug free his entire life?

Of course.  It would never happen though.  These guys rely on drugs to make it to the gym.
Without them, most wouldn't even train.

Just wondering.  ;D

PS - check out this ironage picture of Luke Wood from 1995 just after he turned 19 and compare it to how he looked not even 10 years later!  The power of juice.  :o

Do you guys think Luke was juicing in the 1995 picture?

My opinion is that he began cycling at around the time that first picture was taken.
