From Aaron Singerman
Art Dale Atwood died today in Dallas, Texas. He was 37 years old. The circumstances of his death are still unclear. Although, there have been several sources that have said that Art was at a pool party and fell or jumped in. When he was pulled out by fellow party goes he was already blue and wasn't able to be resuscitated. Untill the autopsy is preformed, we can't know if any substances or alcohol was envolved.
Art won his IFBB pro card at the 2001 NPC Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. His professional bodybuilding debut was the 2001 Toronto Pro where he took 1st place. His first IFBB Mr. Olympia came in 2002, where he placed 12th. Art competed in 19 shows as a pro bodybuilder, and retired from the stage in 2006. Atwood was arrested in 2008 in connection to Operation Raw Deal. His arrest was also tied in with the arrest of David Jacobs, who later killed IFBB Fitness Pro Amanda Savell and then turned the gun on himself.
Since his arrest Art started Professional Supplements (http://www.professionalsupplements.net/) and was responsible for bringing Vitargo to the United States. Professional Supplements and Atwood’s main product, Karbolyn, have become very popular and the growth of his company and his reputation as a businessman have surged. He also became highly regarded as a contest prep coach, helping IFBB Pro Steve Kuclo, IFBB Pro Jason Huh, and many others. Art also ran and owned a nutrition store and tanning salon called, Results Dallas.
Art Atwood was one of the first IFBB Pro bodybuilders I was fortunate enough to have an extended conversation with. When we met, I was surprised by his modesty, honesty, and the friendly manner in which he spoke to me... A regular fan. Since our first meeting, Art reinforced those initial impressions every time we had a chance to interact. Art’s death is a horrible loss for his family, friends, and the bodybuilding world as a whole. He will be missed.

He probably was only drunk as shit, happens millions of times every day in the US of A.

Wow. Very sad to hear. We were supposed to meet Art and Steven (his sales manager) in Vegas in a few days to go over Professional Supplements and the line (we carry it). Known Art for quite a few years. Rest in Peace. Has to be more to this.

Yes agree with Ron - sad news - best wishes to his loved ones

what do you expect when you mix... booze, painkillers, cocaine, AAS, insulin, diuretics combo ABUSE for YEARS ..... all professionals do this

Jesus that sucks. :(

:(
He was the opposite of Nasser in a way - looked big but blocky and unimpressive (shape-wise) from the front, but huge and freaky in the back poses. Will Harris is supposed to have a big back and he looks small compared to Atwood there.
Those pics are freaky - Luke and Art gone within the space of a month (and the other is an immortal vampire ::))

Wow, to think these two died weeks apart. And how strange that Art died on 9/11.

Ok./may be true. But this is becoming a pattern, and I hate seeing people die for no good reason. If you guys think this makes me an idiot, fine.
-
Well at least he was probably having a nice time when he went out. He was always one of the interesting guys on the scene. PIP Art Atwood.

and why is that? many of us are retired and healthy. we lose few clowns along the way until homeostasis is restored. the circle of life.
Yes, it is unfortunate that it is 2 deaths in one month, but besides that, people die, nothing to do about it.

Drowning deaths do happen to able-bodied people though. A friend of mine who was only 21 passed away in July. Because it was on the weekend of Canada Day and because he was an outdoors type and proficient swimmer I immediately assumed his drowning could have been alcohol related. As it turned out, he dived and hit his head on a rock and while unconscious underwater, drowned. You know it's a bit chilling when you hear a friend has died and have no idea why until hours or days after the fact. I had lost touch a little over the past year and saw him last the week after the Arnold Classic. He was in great health then. It really makes me wonder when my time could be up. I was also planning on seeing him again but put it off. His death was a sad reminder of why keeping in touch is a good thing.

Good call on the Nasser [inverse] comparison. Nasser El Atwood would win the Olympia!

;D ;D ;D
If the details are correct, Art's death could simply be an accidental drowning and unrelated to the industry. That said, we are now finally at the time where we will slowly begin to see the effects of professional bodybuilding during the chemical era on its participants. We already know the results of the seventies and eighties where there was massive steroid use but little or no GH/insulin/IGF-1 use. Bodybuilding post-Lee Haney is a different animal though.
-
there is no healthy ifbb profesional,, haney is healthy for retired one,, many others,, but do you really think you can walk on stage even 200lb shredded peeled with out the bathtab and the pharmacy in your blood?
fellas dont even know what they talk about ,, they argue numbers in the 250s lol in the 300s lol they dont get it 200lb !!! is users of hormones beyond belief fellas who rarely go off and they just use lower doses and respond is lacking to some degree,, thats the all diff,,
175 for 5;11 is very good if conditioned but....that wont cut it now day on stage in national competition ,, it just wont ,,

Honestly, I'd be happy to be the size of one of Nasser's legs. I think having the build of TA or Scott Herman is ideal. You have to hand it to TA on this because he is right about how healthy it is to be in the lighter range.

Bodybuilding Dead Pool 2005
Al Smackswood
Al is another guy caught up in playing the "size at all costs" game. His physique isn’t pretty, but damn, is it big. Smackwood tips the scales on contest day at nearly 280 pounds at 5' 11", resembling a prize Heifer more than a man. His waistline was never petite, but recently it has expanded even further, lending some credence to the theory that he may just be taking things a bit too far, pharmaceutically speaking.
All of these men have people who love and care about them, and Al is no exception. Our fingers are crossed that he doesn’t pop up in the gossip section of any of the magazines, with two years separated by a hyphen following his name.

Didn't he sell out some business partners / former friends in the 2008 bust? Only three years later and he's dead at 37 years old, from a "drowning."

You can't sit there and say there are NO logical reasons for a former business partner, who may have had his livlihood ruined by Atwood's confessions, to wait until the heat dies down to get his revenge. The reality you live in is not so much different than CSI when it comes to big business, criminals and personal livlihood. Art was 37 years old and (according to Aaron) at a pool party that was probably crowded. He just jumped in without anyone watching and dies? Come on... wake up.

We are going to continue to see more and more of these premature deaths with Pro bodybuilders.
Mark my words, regardless of how they "allegedly" die.
Something is eventually going to have to change. Pro bodybuilders as we know them may easily become a thing of the past.

damn looks small as hell there.
i dont think you can blame it only on steroids, most of these guys just live an unhealthy lifestyle with lots of party drugs etc, coupled with tons of gear and food, it sometimes amazes me what a body can handle.

Not much else to say really. Another iron brother gone before his time.

X2, damn these guys are dropping like flies hence like pro wrestlers wonder why? Nasser was huge but turn him around = no game.

no, offcourse not small, but he was a monster. in his former shape he would have dwarfed that korean punk easely.
-
I remember reading about him in MD when he first made it pro. Poor shape and structure but massive and ripped. Rip mr Atwood. :'(

final destination, will is next.

jason huh comes of as a total douchebag, stereotype bodybuilder.
Only his dog will miss him when he's RIP

My guess is that he died from a heart attack, possibly triggered by cocaine or other stimulants at the party.
As for who will be next, my guess its Justin Rys (which is sad as he is a really nice guy, and he probably already knows he's next in line...)

You serious? What's he back in jail for? Any news on that?

You serious? What's he back in jail for? Any news on that?
Unfortunatly he didn't learn - was importing GHB again in nail polish bottles - customs got sus and monitored over certain amount of time - he got a bit paranoid so tryed leaving the country to china and they arrested him.
He is only 36 but his heart is just about expired - years of abuse of hormones and party drugs plus other stuff and yeah :'( - a shame cos he is a nice guy - I always got on well with him - I know alot that haven't but he always was ok with me.
-
Man, if that's really true, how f-ing dumb.
I always liked him, and ALWAYS found him to be a humble, really nice guy who enjoyed being massive. In his prime, and I am talking around 1996 he was absolutely massive. I wish there were more pics of him from back then, as most don't do him justice to how freaky he looked.
-
damn he was younger than me
-
Remember that "KidneyColonDead" pic of Flex, Mike, and Munzer?

Will is probably gonna end up with HIV from unprotected gay anal sex

A few years ago I dragged my girl to a Europa show. After we arrived she went to the can. I wandered off and went up to a dude at a booth his face was TIRED and very partied out appearing (I KNOW this look, have SEEN it MANY TIMES and hypothetically may have partied balls personally) I recognized him and started chatting. Seemed like a good dude but I felt like he was mentally and physically a WRECK. Bad shape fellas. Bad. My girl came back from the bathroom and was watching us chat. When I walked away she said "Is that guy OK , he looks so tired and sad"
yep it was Art Atwood.

Worst possible way to go.

I think the actual drowning takes a few seconds - I've seen a video of some fucked up performance artist who filmed himself
drowning obviously he had help and they got him back asap but he passed out in under a sec, first big gulp of air/water and he was gone.
the actual fear that you will drown is much worse I say - like being trapped under water with limited oxygen supply or just holding your breath.
-
:'(
What year was that?
I'd guess a year when people were still using Vitargo.

:'(
What year was that?
Definitely NOT the year in pic. 4 to 5 years ago. Right around the time that Jacobs guy offed himself..... It was after that.

what do you mean by drowning though? as in dead? that takes a few minutes though. I guess no one there knew CPR or they couldnt get him out of the pool fast enough. Might be talking out of my ass but I think brain damage sets in at 4-6 min, going to look it up.
I know there have been Extreme cases of 10+ min and then revided without braindamage but thats extreme.
A part of the Navy Seal training is/has been to drown and then have your "squad" revive you. Fuck that lol.

Okay...
1) Holding your breath - 1 min maybe longer
2) Natural reaction takes over and the urge to breath will force you to breath water.
a) Inhale a tee spoon full of water (and I mean fully inhaled) will make you passout in under a second.
The rest you probably don't feel anymore as in brain function shut down heart stopping etc.

Look like Pro wrestlers and BBers are cursed.

Sorry but thats bullshit - I have a few online friends through my page which a few tried out SEAL training (failed) and one who was an active seal (young guy) - We've discussed training on Apacheclips (and some of the stuff is classified) but they don't do that.
What they do however is to give you weights and you have to let yourself sink to the bottom of a deep pool and push yourself back to the top without using your hands - you are lightly cuffed with a string and if you break the cuffs you fail that part of the training, it apperantly frequently happens that people pass out because they don't want to quit.
-
yep, but you're still alive for a few more min
Well now we are nitpicking - are you still considered to be alife if you have just a few sparks in brain activity or what does
being alife mean?
Seen an interesting video send to me by a US Soldier and was posted on Apacheclips a long time ago - Guy shoots an insurgent
in the head with his shotgun which he used to raid doors.
Guys head explodes he lies on the side way and was filmed by the US guy - he was very much alife but was he? Obviously didn't make it but for a 15 - 20 min he was breathing moving with half a brain.

"My neighbor is an ex navy SEAL. He retired a few years ago. When he went through the training he DID have to pass out underwater and be revived by the instructors. They basically make you stay underwater as long as you can to determine what your endurance is. There is no written rule that says you have to passout or kill yourself but its felt that thats what they are looking for. So yes and no. You arent forced to "kill yourself" but it is frowned upon if you dont at least pass out and show how "tough" you are."
I know "hos is that right" I have heard about that a bunch of times also from "peopel who know someone that has been in the navy seal" not saying your wrong and Im right. but I have heard it a lot at least :)
might be bs but maby there are those who take the "dron proofing" extra far.
-
Well now we are nitpicking - are you still considered to be alife if you have just a few sparks in brain activity or what does

you can be revived and back to fully functional, dont know if I should call it "alive" sicne I guess you're dead but maby understand

Wow we received the news about IFBB Professional Body Builder Art Artwood passing away, but needed to be sure and double check sources before going public with the information. The circumstances regarding Arts death at this point are still unclear. However we have heard that Art was at a pool party with friends and somehow lost consciousnesses. We are not sure if Artwood fell in the pool, or if he jumped in, but according to witnesses, party goers had to remove him from the water where he was already blue. We will not get into Arts career in this blog or his other unfortunate circumstances in the recent past. RIP Art, you will be missed. This seems to be happening all too frequently as of late

My point was, if hes at at pool party, wouldnt people notice if someone is underwater for Minutes? Unless they didnt know cpr or even tried etc since he died.
Lost a friend to a stupid drowning accident a few years back. And he was underwater for a few min before they could find him (covered up pool). Im glad I said no to that party.
It was a big pool that was covered 80+ foot long and pretty wide and there was a opening on each side so they swam underneath the Heavy pool cover (in the pitch black water since it was covered up) and hoped they swam straight. Well my drunk ass friend didn't. obviously panicked since he couldnt find the exit and the cover is to heavy to lift to get some air.. So he paniced,struggled,and died. And it was too heave for everyone there to lift also. so it took a while.

Art always suffered from manboobitis, maybe it finally got the better of him
Maybe the best musclebreasts ever! :P

Just this weekend I was wondering "what happened to Art Atwood"? I don't like this answer. Sucks when a man that's my age dies like that.....I know that's selfish thinking, but......

Bay likey! :P

Well at least our friend BIFF BAXTER is still going to compete next weekend

not even when someone just died to you stop reminding us of what we already know. You're gay and like muscles. It's Ok We Know.

There are three type of Gay people
1) The once with the lisp - the girly attitude etc.
2) The manly - the bears etc.
3) The once that are a little bit of both of them but need to remind their surrounding audience once a day that they are gay.
I call them - Drama Queens

From Aaron Singerman
Art Dale Atwood died today in Dallas, Texas. He was 37 years old. The circumstances of his death are still unclear. Although, there have been several sources that have said that Art was at a pool party and fell or jumped in. When he was pulled out by fellow party goes he was already blue and wasn't able to be resuscitated. Untill the autopsy is preformed, we can't know if any substances or alcohol was envolved.
Art won his IFBB pro card at the 2001 NPC Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. His professional bodybuilding debut was the 2001 Toronto Pro where he took 1st place. His first IFBB Mr. Olympia came in 2002, where he placed 12th. Art competed in 19 shows as a pro bodybuilder, and retired from the stage in 2006. Atwood was arrested in 2008 in connection to Operation Raw Deal. His arrest was also tied in with the arrest of David Jacobs, who later killed IFBB Fitness Pro Amanda Savell and then turned the gun on himself.
Since his arrest Art started Professional Supplements (http://www.professionalsupplements.net/) and was responsible for bringing Vitargo to the United States. Professional Supplements and Atwood’s main product, Karbolyn, have become very popular and the growth of his company and his reputation as a businessman have surged. He also became highly regarded as a contest prep coach, helping IFBB Pro Steve Kuclo, IFBB Pro Jason Huh, and many others. Art also ran and owned a nutrition store and tanning salon called, Results Dallas.
Art Atwood was one of the first IFBB Pro bodybuilders I was fortunate enough to have an extended conversation with. When we met, I was surprised by his modesty, honesty, and the friendly manner in which he spoke to me... A regular fan. Since our first meeting, Art reinforced those initial impressions every time we had a chance to interact. Art’s death is a horrible loss for his family, friends, and the bodybuilding world as a whole. He will be missed.

Couldn't have been easy getting a 280 lb unconscious Art out of that pool. To the surface, okay, but would need several strong men to pull a deadweight man of that size out or even to keep him afloat if the water was more than 5ft deep.
So it's very possible that getting him up and out of the pool further hindered the ability to rescuscitate him. Either way, a real tragedy.

The real story is
Art Atwood was walking through his condo complex by the pool when he suffered a massive heart attack. He fell into the pool, people immediately rushed to help. Paramedics came pretty quickly, but couldn't help him. Family is devastated.

USUALLY when people fall into a pool, it's into the shallow end, and they break their neck. If so, he would have had no chance.... sadly.

When I think about it a little more I wonder if Ron's version is not as much bullshit as that of Aaron
I mean how can you reconcile
1) "The circumstances of his death are still unclear. Although, there have been several sources that have said that Art was at a pool party and fell or jumped in"
with
2)"Art Atwood was walking through his condo complex by the pool when he suffered a massive heart attack. He fell into the pool, .."
I assume neither Ron or Aaron were present so both are relying on sources. Where the fuck did Aaron get the "party" angle from? Was someone fucking with him? Did he get it during a drug induced binge?
Ron's version while more believable by opening the door to the automatic connection : steroid abuse=heart attack,
may nevertheless be just a more believable/effective lie
Until I see some non bbing press announcement (not i wont be tuning to CNN tonight) I would assume nothing, since Ron has been known to BS as much as Aaron when it comes to protect 'his industry'

This is from his partner and friends at Professional Supplements, which I am a distributor of. Who knew him, worked with him, and are stunned by this, considered we were all meeting at the Olympia on Friday.
No matter what, Art was always a cool fellow, in business and at the expos, and whatever the circumstances, this is sad and tough news.

Any evidence he was a street drug abusing alcoholic?
As far as why guys like Yates, Ronnie, Cutler are still walking around? Everybody's physiology and susceptibilities are different would be the simple answer. But, you can bet dollars to donuts that a lot of these guys won't live until a ripe old age.

and alcohol,, alcohol and pain killers is the MAIN MAIN cause,, diuretics will get you to lose kidny if abused....dieing if realy realy dumb ,,but over all diuretic will hurt organ if abuse....
alcohol and pain killer/NARCOTICS,, will! kill you in your sleep ,, while you awake at any given time,, you wil either walk around get heart attack out of no where,, or you will die in your sleep choking on yoru tonigue due to vicodin overdose,, you will be 6 feet under end result ,,
narcotics and alcohol ...hormones have nothing to do with death ....narcotics and alcohol kill every day many fellas who have no idea what bodybuild is,,
IT IS NARCOTICS AND ALCOHOL ALOGN WITH ABUSE OF DIURETICS AND INSULINA
this is why they drop dead!
you cant be so call massive bodybuilder with out insulina,, and you cant look impressive with out diuretic...take a look at the dry space between art atwood abdominals....do you think it is from DIET? gues again ,, it is diuretic usage along with gh and insulina ,, you have to have the diuretic there to DRYYYYY otherwize you look liek a fatzo americano that pump some weight,, then you ad the alcohol since you cant have a relashioship going due to you being paranoid and anxiety every second of your life...so drinking is a good way to forget it all....and finaly narcotics when you really want to have no pain and be high forgeting all problems of life...THIS IS HOW YOU DIE..you try it? 24 months and you are DEAD ,,

From Aaron Singerman
Art Dale Atwood died today in Dallas, Texas. He was 37 years old. The circumstances of his death are still unclear. Although, there have been several sources that have said that Art was at a pool party and fell or jumped in. When he was pulled out by fellow party goes he was already blue and wasn't able to be resuscitated. Untill the autopsy is preformed, we can't know if any substances or alcohol was envolved.
Art won his IFBB pro card at the 2001 NPC Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. His professional bodybuilding debut was the 2001 Toronto Pro where he took 1st place. His first IFBB Mr. Olympia came in 2002, where he placed 12th. Art competed in 19 shows as a pro bodybuilder, and retired from the stage in 2006. Atwood was arrested in 2008 in connection to Operation Raw Deal. His arrest was also tied in with the arrest of David Jacobs, who later killed IFBB Fitness Pro Amanda Savell and then turned the gun on himself.
Since his arrest Art started Professional Supplements (http://www.professionalsupplements.net/) and was responsible for bringing Vitargo to the United States. Professional Supplements and Atwood’s main product, Karbolyn, have become very popular and the growth of his company and his reputation as a businessman have surged. He also became highly regarded as a contest prep coach, helping IFBB Pro Steve Kuclo, IFBB Pro Jason Huh, and many others. Art also ran and owned a nutrition store and tanning salon called, Results Dallas.
Art Atwood was one of the first IFBB Pro bodybuilders I was fortunate enough to have an extended conversation with. When we met, I was surprised by his modesty, honesty, and the friendly manner in which he spoke to me... A regular fan. Since our first meeting, Art reinforced those initial impressions every time we had a chance to interact. Art’s death is a horrible loss for his family, friends, and the bodybuilding world as a whole. He will be missed.

Did he run an underground lab? who did he exactly rat on? what a fuck! he deserves to die I dont care what anybody says he ruined peoples lives so he would of died anyway when those guys got out of jail. snitches never prosper. and he was not resposible for vitargo. I thnik nutrex had vitargo in the states before atwoods company and I heard he did some shadey shit even as a businessman like being sponsored representing these products then leaving to start his own line. using the same products but changing the name. vitargo is juts waxy starch maize. its not innovative at all a good product but he ripped it off! art is a p[iece of shit in my book. sorry to have to say it regarding the circumstances.he is also a rat so im sure he was reincarnated as a rat.I hope so. what a shitbag!

I thnik nutrex had vitargo in the states before atwoods company and I heard he did some shadey shit even as a businessman like being sponsored representing these products then leaving to start his own line. using the same products but changing the name. vitargo is juts waxy starch maize. its not innovative at all a good product but he ripped it off! art is a p[iece of shit in my book. sorry to have to say it regarding the circumstances.he is also a rat so im sure he was reincarnated as a rat.I hope so. what a shitbag!
stop with the balonie you drama queen,,he didnt rat when it counted,,time to fall asleep now ...insomnia going strong eh?

That's not what it says on Facebook. Supposedly, the drowning story is a cover-up for the real thing: that Art Atwood died as a result of alcohol and prescription meds and was found dead in his bed.

No, no, no....this is just a tragic accident due to Art's inability to cope with his "new" body. The once mas monster used to get a kick out of emptying pools just by diving. Sure, a few bruises would occur but nothing a lil' Nubain couldn't cure. But for the first time of his life, Art discovered water and learnt that you have to swim to not die when you are human.

Unlike '240 is back', I am willing to believe that Art Atwood's death was not part of a 9/11 cover up but, shit is it that impossible to get the facts straight about this guy's death??
1) Fell into a pool during a party (Aaron aka BSer1)
2) Had a massive coronary, walked around for 6 hours around the pool , at which time a party had started and then fell into the pool (Ron aka BSer2)
3) Had a massive coronary while BabyGM was fondling his left tit, who then proceeded to throw Art over the balcony into the condo pool (my preferred, if unsubstantiated theory)
4) Died in bed from alcohol and meds (ironage/crownshep)
5) Committed suicide because the gh15 gimmick got out of control in the last couple of months and cant shut the fuck up

the thing is these guys (IFBBs pros) in the 30-45 year old range are dropping like flies.
This is to be expected when you look at the fact that the guys dying now emerged during the 'all drugs' period, i.e. last decade
They started gearing up about a decade ago and started dying in droves a decade after. If you look at it this way this shit will be a common occurrence in the next 5 years at least due to 'momentum'. By that time some guys with 1/2 half brain will have tried to apply the brakes and bought themselves another 10 years, so the deaths wont be so obvious, i.e . no one will notice they died since no one had known about them for several years after retirement
i guess one interesting issue is will the US government care enough about what is/will be going on to intervene and force some kind of brakes or will they just ignore/not notice it since no one gives a shit about bbing anyway; and allow the IFBB to carry on with the death pool
fuck, even bob who has no scruples probably will get some kind of PTSD after interviewing so many dead people.

I thought you were going to talk about the decline of the arts. Boy, was I wrong.

It's safe to say that anyone who uses pro level gear starting in the early 1990s may have some serious problems 15-20 years later.
or they may live to be 80 and die in a really cool shootout caught on security cam video, where they X out three bad guys before succombing to their wounds. That would be badass.
Whatever the case, there's too many variables to consider. Drink up and enjoy life. When its over, you wont know it cause youll be dead of course, so making every moment bliss is the key!
-
as we all know being dead does not make you a good person. After all that is why there is a hell.
So obviously the ''respect the dead' get-away clause is meaningless. Maybe Art was a great guy, i.e. did something like; donated half of his drug dealing profits to a 'children with leukemia' charity, cried all night in his jail cell for all the people he ratted, believed the Israel-Palestinian conflict could be solved by having talks, was forced by society pressures to take huge amount of drugs , etc etc.
Thing is; that is not what I asking here
I would just like to know the true circumstances of this death.
Is that really too much to ask for??

Art Atwood of West Allis carries a duffel bag full of nutritional supplements and vitamins wherever he goes.
He does worry, however, about what all the supplements are doing to his liver and kidneys, one reason he would like to retire in five or six years.
I don't mean to plug my site, especially not when someone's death is concerned, however I looked for the full text of the article above and the only place on the web I found it was a seven year old thread on my board. You can Google "Art Atwood: Built to win" for the thread containing the article.
What I find interesting about Art's comments in this article is that it seems pretty clear that he was aware of the potential health consequences of taking bodybuilding to its highest level. Also, Art's last contest was in 2006 so presumably he didn't have to dehydrate himself to contest condition many/any times since that time unless he had a guest appearance he wanted to be in very good shape for. So Art was only at the top amateur/pro level for about six years or so [2000-2006], although he was probably running one thing or another since his earliest competition days as a teen [1992-1993]. Still, Art would hardly be the only one using for 20 years.
A heart attack at age 37 [if that is what caused Art's death] is either going to have some genetic component or be the result of abuse or both. If the competitive bodybuilding lifestyle was a guarantee of an early death we would be seeing a lot more of them. I'm not saying it wasn't a factor, but we have enough mainstream media blaming everything on steroids - from Lyle Azado's brain tumor to Chris Benoit's familicide - that we don't need it in our own press. Also, for all we know, Art may have died from a combination of alcohol and medication [as cited as a possibility] that would have killed anyone. Is that really the fault of bodybuilding? If he went unconscious initially but drowned before he regained consciousness, is that the fault of bodybuilding? While I do believe that a bodybuilder's early death is the time to talk about the hazards of competitive bodybuilding, we should also be careful before jumping to any conclusions.

"Thing is; that is not what I asking here

So while i do not wish to upset you i must point out that your answer does not address my question.
If i now turn to your answer proper, it is not obvious to me how to answer it. In fact, if you re-read my post the question that arises is do you understand the english language?

I used to care a lot about height because I was wondering what the perfect height for a bodybuilder was and I do think 5'9 is probably it. ;)
From FitAdina on MD, "Art Atwood - Official Statement from Busines Partner - NEW INFORMATION ADDED":
I spoke with Steven Salmon today, business partner of the late Art Atwood.
He called MD to set the record straight on a few things being said about the passing of Art.
Steven advised, “Sunday, at about 2:30PM, Art was walking through the pool area of his residence when he had a massive heart attack.
We are not sure if he was going for a swim or just passing through the area, but he was not at a party. He was at the pool area of the condo where he lives.
Two residents who were at the pool saw him fall in and immediately pulled him out. They were able to revive him and get the paramedics, but it was too late. The damage had already been done.”
I asked Steven if Art died there or on the way to the hospital. He said he was unsure, because those details had not been released. He will update us further as the story develops.
Art is survived by both of his parents, a brother and a sister. He will be buried in Wisconsin.
A candle light vigil will be held at his home in Dallas the weekend after the Olympia.
Steven also advised that Art's business, Pro Supplements, will carry on with business as usual, keeping Art's vision alive.
We will continue to update you as information becomes available.
Newest information from Steven:
"Art died at the hospital.
The coroner’s report shows that he died of heart attack.
He unknowingly suffered a minor heart attack about a month ago. As it turns out, heart disease does run in his family."
-
Nice of MD not to try to get PR or profit off a mans death ::)
-
'He unknowingly suffered a minor heart attack about a month ago'
bombshell news item there.
-
The real story is
Art Atwood was walking through his condo complex by the pool when he suffered a massive heart attack. He fell into the pool, people immediately rushed to help. Paramedics came pretty quickly, but couldn't help him. Family is devastated.
Thanks for updating the information regarding Art Atwoods unfortunate death. May he rest in peace.
No doubt people will start the rant about steroids being the cause of his death now. Of course people die from heart failure all the time, even people as young as Art was. Not all of them take steroids. Without doubt, Art probably used steroids to enhance his genetic gift of being able to add a lot of muscle mass.
I've said this before and I'll probably say it again. Regardless of how one gets huge, being huge is really hard on one's heart. Some folks fool themselves by believing that if their weight is muscle weight their hearts will be fine. And it is true that it is healthier to be muscular as opposed to just being fat. But healthier doesn't mean healthy.
I believe, given the continuing trend for bodybuilders to be mass monsters we will see more fellow bodybuilders succumbing to the stress this puts on their hearts. Incidentally, when one's heart is compromised it can also affect ones kidneys. Our organs work in concert, when one fails the others often fail too. Our bodies can take a heap of punishment, some people more than others. But sometimes the punishment is just too much and things start going wrong.
I'm no expert. I am not a doctor. But, it only takes a little common sense to realize that the average man standing 5'11" doesn't weigh 320 lbs and still have a healthy body and heart. This is even more of a problem if this person added 30% to their bodyweight in a couple of years. I highly recommend folks monitor their health by having annual physicals, routinely checking their blood pressure and living sensibly.

From FitAdina on MD, "Art Atwood - Official Statement from Busines Partner - NEW INFORMATION ADDED":
Yes, pretty much exactly what I wrote when I spoke to Steven on Monday morning. Here is the official statement from Steven
Sunday, at about 2:30pm Art was walking through the pool area of the condo where he lives when he had a massive heart attack. We are not sure if he was going for a swim or just passing through the area, but he was not at a party. He was at the pool area of the condo where he lives.
Two residents who were at the pool saw him fall in and immediately pulled him out. They were able to revive him and get the paramedics, but it was too late the damage was done and Art passed away at a hospital near by.
The coronary report showed that Art died of a heart attack . The report also states he unknowingly suffered a minor heart attack about a month ago. As it turns out heart disease does run in his family.
Arts companies Official Professional Supplements & Results Pro-Tan & Nutrition are survived by long-time friend & business partner Steven Salmon and a great team of employees. The companies will continue to grow and make Art's dreams a reality. Please Like IFBB Pro Art Atwood Fan Page and share any positive stories, pictures, and memories you have of Art.
As of now we know that there will be funeral arrangements made for Art in Wisconsin this coming Weekend (exact details will be shared when known). A vigil will be held in Dallas, TX September 25th for Art's friends, fans, and loved ones to come celebrate Art's life. Again - exact detail will be shared once known. We will be displaying pictures of Art & friends on a projection screen - if you have any photos that you would like us to show during the vigil please email them to: Sandydoxley@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your support,
Steven Salmon

I agree - pain is there you get over it - people move on,
I mean people are sometimes extremly stupid - especially men do not go to the doctor unless they are in crazy pain.
How else do you explain a guy with a huge tumor on his throat I mean HUGE!! and he goes to the doctor when he already cannot breath right anymore, I mean that thing doesn't grow over night.
Same with heart attacks - small one is painfull sure but people probably convince themself - ah just a bad case of heart burn!!! ::)

Strong element of denial regarding hormones, yes narcotics and alcohol could have played a part, but hormones could have and most likely will have played their part in Arts heart attack.
no!,, only hormone that will play a part in heart attack is INSULINA in high doses! when mixed! when mixed! with narcotics,, aas had nothing to do with his death ,,he suffered heart attack at age 38 due to the abusive life style of narcotics,, insulina ,, diuretics,, he probably liked to drink ... etc etc,, nothing to do with aas directly ,,they were just there and as usual will take the fault

Heart attacks can occur on small levels, to the point you can easily assume it is something else.
Recent studies showed fatal heart attacks can occur when reserves of Omega 3 fatty acids have been depleted within cardiac tissue. If you take Omega 3 you have better chance of survival, as they can help keep the heart going post attack.
AAS can have negative effect on various element of your lipid profile.

My dad had a heart attack 2 years ago,and i asked the consultant cardiac doctor about this very topic,and he said a 20 stone obese guy is the same as a 20 stone muscular guy,the heart still has the same amount of work to do.Right there and then i decided against the old "bulk up" period that i used to do and purposely dropped a stone in weight.

Bodybuilders aren't "dropping like flies." Luke Wood died from a failed kidney transplant. Art Atwood died from, well, you'll probably never know the real story but let's just say a heart attack.
Two in one shot doesn't mean they're "dropping like flies." This is what people say everytime a bodybuilder dies. It's not steroids in Art's case. In Luke Wood's it is. Art wasn't a drug addict that overdosed by accident. People are quick to assume the worst about people when they have shady pasts and Art was as shady as they come, a government rat and had enemies.

I agree with what you've said here completely. Don't you suppose folks look for ways to justify someone's death because they want to distance their lives from the deceased life in hopes they can avoid a similar fate? -Ever read the obituaries? Don't you find it curious when someone dies and the obituary fails to mention the cause of death, especially when it is someone your age or younger?

Seems like someone made sure it looks like "an accident". Done by professional.

I do believe nutrex was the first to release vitargo cgl wihc was a creatine glycogen loader. mostly just creatine and the vitargo(waxy maize starch). He was probably taking uppers and downers my guess is cocaine and ghb or xanax maybe valium some kind of speed ball combination. but the I wish he didnt go out like he did he was a rat and he somewhat ripped off a supplement company he was working with said he would market their product and then stole them and started selling them himself. he had every right to do this just kind of sleazy but maybe he really needed the money.Gh15 I dont know why you argue when the proof is posted he bought drugs off the cops and flipped-thats a snitch!

Bodybuilders aren't "dropping like flies." Luke Wood died from a failed kidney transplant. Art Atwood died from, well, you'll probably never know the real story but let's just say a heart attack.
Two in one shot doesn't mean they're "dropping like flies." This is what people say everytime a bodybuilder dies. It's not steroids in Art's case. In Luke Wood's it is. Art wasn't a drug addict that overdosed by accident. People are quick to assume the worst about people when they have shady pasts and Art was as shady as they come, a government rat and had enemies.
no, it was a genetic condition that cuased his death.....it's neither drugs nor bodybuilding related.......oh wait!!!!.......

AAS not dangerous? Rubbish, they can certainly be dangerous. You don't die from 'AAS poisoning' but they can cause a lot of harm in different ways. And they can kill you in 'indirect ways', that's why it's so difficult to pinpoint AAS as a culprit when steroid users die.
But it sounds like some off you want to live in a fairytale land.
Certainly, a combination of different drugs increase the risk even further but that does not take away from the fact that AAS by themselves can be dangerous.
-
Most bodybuilders that use drugs know the possible side effects and consequences. Its considered an acceptable risk to most. Art wasn't stupid.

Many bodybuilders live in denial and lie to themselves. Avoid regular doctor visits. Some guys are totally obsessed with eating clean and being healthy at the same time as they are abusing drugs.
I guess you have another definition of stupid than many others do.

Sure some are like that, I am not sure that guys at the level Art was truly consider bodybuilding healthy.

A lot of people like to draw a line in the sand and say steroids are dangerous it's the other drugs that will kill you etc. These guys are just lying to themselves. Guys like gh15 are certainly not making it better.

This is why I gave "gh15" the IDIOT label in this thread.

The whole gh15 thing has gone too far. Every thread is spammed with his rubbish. These so called truths that he is telling us about are at the end of the day causing more harm than good. He is marketing drugs. A lot of his fanboys don't seem to be able to think for themselves.

Well I think any of the bodybuilding drugs can potentially be dangerous if abused.I do believe the guys that also use recreational drugs are definitely at a higher risk if they abuse both. I mean come on pretty much common sense.

Yes, but the way I see it, there's just no question that you are more likely to suffer from heart problems by using a variety of AAS drugs long-term (high BP and cholesterol, to start) than the occasional alcohol binge or using a drug like xanax. Cocaine? Well, perhaps that's a different story. I'm thinking of situations like Len Bias.
It's when Nasser "gh15" insinuates that the AAS is fine (go ahead and take massive doses, kids! ::) ), but the rec drugs and/or alcohol are the sole problem is when we're getting a large helping of steroid-dealer/addict bullshit.
-
Anyone who thinks using more than "therapeutic" dosages of AAS isn't bad for you needs to wake up. They aren't as bad as rec drugs or a bad diet, but they certainly are not good for you unless you are deficient already and actually need them.
That being said, i think sitting on your ass and eating junk food all day will kill you faster than using AAS for many years. I know powerlifters who have been on very large cycles for over 10 years and they still are "relatively" healthy, but i do not expect every person to be able to maintain this lifestyle. One of my friend's blood pressure was up to 210/90 after only 6 weeks of 750mg of Sust EW. His BP was at 130/40 a few weeks before his cycle.
Live your life how you wish, but AAS certainly are bad for you when used incorrectly and i would 99.99999999% of all lifters use them incorrectly.
Art was known as a rec drug user by those in his circle of friends, there is no telling what he had been doing those final days/years before his death.
Either way....R.I.P.

I like the series:
"Suggested by the author:
Jay Cutler no show after Toney Freeman arrest in Sundsvall,Sweden
IFBB Pro Debi Laszewski feminine bodybuilder, hardcore business woman"
-
"would it surprise Laszewki's fans and other athletes to know she has a degree in fashion and is the brain behind a haute couture line of dog clothing? "
