:'( ed r.i.p
"Bodybuilder and gym owner Ed van Amsterdam is deceased. Ed is deceased at the age of 40 of a heart attack. The former agent was known as a professional bodybuilder. Already at the age of seventeen he began the sport in which he was getting better. He also began Ultimate Fitness gym in Amsterdam Molukkenstraat. Due to the death of Ed's Ultimate Fitness closed today"

The sad thing is, he's one of the guys who died for nothing (not even a plastic trophy). Never had the genetics to do anything remotely mentionable in the pro ranks.
The young guys who started out 3-4 years ago haven't even heared his name.

and the true reason for his death was?

It wasn't for nothing. He was a bodybuilder in every vein, loved the scene and had a successful gym business.
Being successful on stage is just a nice bonus on top of this.

seems more common place than shocking

Sucks, but having all that extra tissue is pushing it.
R.I.P.

Damn,
I always thought he was one of the "heathier" looking pro's.
Only 40 damn.... I wonder what other bbs (who look like walking corpses) risk of dying any minute is.
DA gets 8 warnings and Ed dies. :-\

40 is very young.

40. Jesus.

saw him in allentown at the penna pro contest won by dennis wolf. funny thing was they announced him three times only to have someone else show up on stage, till they finally got it right. :( :( :(

Very sad. RIP. Gigantic guy in person and very friendly to chat to.
The mortality rate just seems too high in bodybuilding. I'd be interested in a list going all the way back to guys like Jeep Swenson, Curtis Leffler, Scott Stein, Sonny Schmidt, etc, etc ....who have left us?
If it wasn't health issues it was mental issues like Paul DeMayo, Bertil Fox and Ray McNeil?
Maybe Stunt can help with some of the historical facts?

Excessive Steroid usage is just stupid at this point. Will people ever learn?

Even Arnold had an open-heart surgery at one time. Ever read about the insane stacking that Michalik did? He trained insane and juiced even more so. How about Andreas Munzer and Momo? Wasn't there a bodybuilder just recently who dropped dead right by his swimming pool? Flex Wheeler had to retire early. Thank God he made the right choice. Don Long was given a second chance yet he seems to be back "on" again.... Don Youngblood wasn't so lucky.
Most of today's Pro bb's know they have to walk away from that lifestyle (if they make it that far) but what is Gary Strydom's excuse? You don't very often see Mr O competitors "living the dream" in their 50's. Why is that? Hmmmmmmmmmm....
Where is Abdullah Haykutluh? Healthy? Isn't that guy competing in the 212 division having some issues now, already? Is it Ronny Rockel?
What about the women who have died?
Do we think Sergio Oliva's battle had nothing to do with steroids?
The Mentzer brothers? WTF?
Ron Teufel. Scott Klein (29). Charles Durr. Eric Otero. Eduardo Kawak. Robert Sager. Greg Deferro "Rocky" ~ Dan Puckett (22) Shellie Beatty (39) Joe Meeko (48) Derrick Whitsett. Tony Pearson?
Mike Francois came pretty close...
I think the list goes on and on.
Kris Dim isn't doing too well these days after his open-heart surgery. Why did he try to compete again? Now he is in a wheelchair!
I don't really care what kind of criticism I get here, but I would NOT be surprised if by this time next year the Mr. O will take on a whole new appearance. If not next year, by the following.
Mark my words. This "size game" at any cost will not prevail. It's already being discussed by some very influential people.
If we were cold-hearted enough to start a "Deadpool" I'm sure some of us would be making a shitload of money and who is going to be next ~
Whatever. Rock out with your cocks out. Let the chips fall where they may.
This "Sport" has absolutely NOTHING to do with health and longevity.
Did it ever?

Funny how these ingestors of steroids keep dying at 40 years old, despite how many times the steroids creeps get angry and tell me how safe they are. I'm old enough to be that guy's uncle, and I'm about to swallow a handful of raw glandulars and head out to nail my 18 year old Puerto Rican girlfriend. Ta-ta.
-
and the true reason for his death was?
probably a natural deficiency of his heart or bad family genetics, absolutely nothing to do with drugs
-
how many of the bodybuilders from the 80's on up will ever live past 60?
-
maybe we should go back to the standards of 30 + years ago where you had to have proportion, shape, definition etc.. and they didn't just award sheer size over all else
3 of the top 4 at the 1983 Olympia where < 200 lbs

This is very sad. The age of 40 is way too young to pass away.

God bless Ed and his family!

I knew Ed because I trained at his gym for a few years..He truly was one of the friendliest persons you'd ever meet. Saw him the other day after atleast a year and he came up,hugged me and asked how my training was going..A very warm person,down to the core.
He will be missed.
Peace
-
Apparently Ed had prior issues related to his heart and was advised not to continue bodybuilding but his love of the game would not allow him to walk away and it questionably cost him his life.

sorry to see this but upon recollection many of the guys i've seen over the years are dead, mike mentzer, ron teufel, art atwood, nasser el sombaty, ed van amsterdam. just to name a few.

ok.
you take your own money, or find investors to front the cash.. start your own league/federation/organization and promote your own shows with bber's that nobody wants to pay $50 to see.
and go broke.
professional bodybuilding is about MONEY. hence PROFESSIONAL.
you don't like where it's going? then just keep doing what you're doing and worry about how you look and keep telling yourself you're the ideal and anybody bigger is just a steroid-abusing loser with mental issues.
bodybuilding is about pushing the envelope. changing your body. there is no limit. no high water mark.

ed was a big guy. always one of the heaviest, if not THE heaviest at the show.
dude was around 300 at the tom princes last show (ironman) the year they had everybody wear jerseys and weigh in.
that's a lot of weight to carry around. doesn't matter if you're muscular or fat, your heart still has to circulate that blood.
-
Professional bodybuilding about money, there's no money in bodybuilding, nearly every pro except for the top 5 or so would earn most of their income personal training or selling drugs, or could earn more money working some regular job. The pro lifestyle is a temporary leased lifestyle illusion of wealth created by magazines, the sport doesn't set most up for life, it leaves most broke dead or with health issues as they get older. Pro bodybuilding, spending 10 to 20 k on drugs to win $15k before tax at some bodybuilding event and you cant even get your drugs written off as expenses come tax time, pro bodybuilding and the associated expensive drug abuse is ridiculous, no brainer that there isn't to many graduates up there, you would have to be very limited in your options or completely self obsessed like many are to consider it.

Ouch. The pictures of his family eat me up. I just saw my baby's ultrasound a few days ago. I can't imagine choosing bodybuilding over my family.
I don't want to sound like a self-hating hypocrite or anything, but I truly believe that you can pretty much abuse the shit out of PEDs as long as you get checked out and don't ignore things like your heart or kidney health. You can't reclaim those after they're fucked. You fuck up that myocardial tissue or build up arterial plaques and you're fucked. Or if you kill your kidneys with diuretics and end up on dialysis a few protein shakes will damn near kill you, so just avoid getting to that point all together. If you've got families too, my fuck... could you please consider them for a moment? No one needs to lose a brother, husband or daddy.
No problem with PEDs, just ignorant and blatant disregard for one's health. Stay safe, fellas.

I happened to read this about Art Atwood.
"had the opportunity to personally observe Art as he worked out while preparing for guest posing engagements. Art’s breathing always seemed heavily labored and he had much difficulty walking a mere 10 to 20-feet (from one cable station to another)"
http://steroidanalysis.com/2011/09/art-atwood-also-dead-at-only-37/
If someone notices (especially a bodybuilder) that one can not walk 10 to 20 feet without a lot of difficulty, why wouldn't you consider doing cardio or start taking walks or run?
Don't they want to live? Or is the fear of going catabollic to great to overcome?
How does the bodybuilder mind operate?

They probably don't have the cardio, period. Or maybe don't wanna go "catabolic" lol... after pumping grams of gear and vials of GH, I don't know how, but I've seen bodybuilders with legit catabolism fears. Scary shit. Takes a perverted mind to end up balls deep in this sport (in more ways than one).
-
Bros it is not the sport.
1. WTF where was the defibrillator???// no one knew CPR?
2. Most bodybuilders end up with cardiomyopathy (weak heart muscle) that can be hypertrophic increased EF, hypotrophic low EF. EF is the amount of blood your heart pumps out per contraction and should be at least 60%. it is a measure of left ventricular function. The shortness of breath with minimal effort is a mere reflection of poor cardiac function.
That is the time you need to step in. HTN and dyslipidemia are all contributing factors as well.
3. As a Doc, I make it a point to make sure the big boys in the gym are ok medically.
4. Of course another rate limiting factor to the equation is: who was the receiving doctor? If the guy was dangerous toss in the cookies.
DOC
Lift, fuck, make money

Oh... so I guess promoters are doing shows as charity then?
BBing magazine are free? I can just pick them up on my way out of the super market?
protein powders are free?
last I recall, I had to PAY to sit in the audience at NPC and IFBB shows.
there's money in bbing, just not as a competetior.
why the fuck would I, as a promoter, direct the judges to PUNNISH the look that 95% of the audience CAME TO SEE.
Average guys who look like they workout DON'T SELL TICKETS. the FREAKS do... and ALWAYS HAVE.
you think Arnold wasn't considered a FREAK in his day? or Sergio? or Haney?
There was a time when 240 was huge... now, 240 is almost average in the gym for guys who don't even care to compete.

i'll bet you $5k or a bowl of dicks, whichever you prefer, that Zane took everything he could and TRIED his hardest to put on as much size as he could, but didn't have the genes, and instead made it seem like he CHOSE to be the smallest guy onstage (remember Shawn Ray?.... David Dearth?... ect...)

I believe he was called "The Chemist" because he's got a science degree and taught chemistry. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Did Zane really carry around a bowling ball bag full of steroids?

This thread is about the passing of Ed, so keep Zane out of this.

Yes, that is what I have been told. He has a Master's Degree. He, unlike the vast majority of what passes for today's bodybuilders, is an intelligent man.
Back on topic. While it is regrettable that Mr. Van Amsterdam is dead, given what appears to be a poo load of drug useage it is pretty much what anyone with a brain would expect to have happen. I am sorry for his family.

Amsterdam's passing will not be mentioned on pages of pro-IFBB orientated magz like Flex or Muscle & Fitness :-\

Another bad sad news for bodybuilding and great news for getbiggers.now you trools have big excuse to jump on bodybuilders cook.....feel sorry for his family...RIP
-
Very sad to read about his death. And then to see that photo of his wife/girlfriend and son?
Seemed a very friendly guy, great sense of humor. But alas also a very risky "lifestyle". Even though you know many will die young, it still comes as a shock and surprise to hear the tragic news...
-
Seems for the most part the point or reasoning behind an untimely death was missed.
Yes, R.I.P and sorry for the family.
If you drive a racecar 200 mph down a track, things are going to happen. You choose to live a reckless lifestyle, you will pay. Sadly, these days, it's with your life. Bodybuilders have a tendency to throw caution to the wind. They choose to ignore the warning signs along the way.
It would be nice to see certain "issues" in this "sport" change. How about starting with judging criteria?
BTW, Zane is entirely relevant.
The Doc say's he should have been under medical supervision. Well, that is probably true. So should everyone who posts on this board.
Jay Cutler has lab done at least once a month. Why do you think that is? What do you suppose a doctor does when he finds Jay's liver counts, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels to be far out of normal range? Do you think the doctor just warns him? Or do you think that more pharmaceuticals are added to the stack and that they don't count against him just because they aren't anabolic or androgenic?
I don't give a shit what it is: You will pay tomorrow for what you do today.

we all know the risks that come with hormone use, stimulant use, downers to sleep, protein intake 5x the RDA, and most importantly, the effects on the heart from carrying 270+lbs of bodyweight for years straight.

Us humans... we are always looking for excuses. Accept the reality. It's not that complex if you decide to open your eyes. The human body was not designed to be that big and muscular with the extreme low levels of bodyfat.
If the intention was for everyone to be a freak, we all would be freaky.
It is no coincidence that these pros died in the 40 - 50 year old range. It is also not a coincidence that the Pros in their late 30's are already experiencing health problems.

Sensationalism is a type of editorial bias in mass media in which events and topics in news stories and pieces are over-hyped to increase viewership or readership numbers.[1] Sensationalism may include reporting about generally insignificant matters and events that don't influence overall society and biased presentations of newsworthy topics in a sensationalist, trivial or tabloid manner.[2][3]
Some tactics include being deliberately obtuse,[4] appealing to emotions,[5] being controversial, intentionally omitting facts and information,[6] being loud, self-centered and acting to obtain attention.[5] Trivial information and events are sometimes misrepresented and exaggerated as important or significant, and often includes stories about the actions of individuals and small groups of people,[1] the content of which is often insignificant and irrelevant relative to the macro-level day-to-day events that occur globally. Furthermore, the content and subject matter typically doesn't affect the lives of the masses[1] and doesn't affect society, and instead is broadcast and printed to attract viewers and readers.[1] Examples include press coverage about the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal,[1][7][8] Casey Anthony Trial,[1][9] Tonya Harding's role in the attack of Nancy Kerrigan,[1][10] the Elian Gonzalez affair[1][11] and the O.J. Simpson murder case.[1][12]
