Title: Gustavo Badell in ICU with Serious Condition?
Post by: TheWeightsOver on September 29, 2013, 09:41:45 AM
Posted on his facebook by his sister:

"Prayer for GUSTAVO" from Gustavo, this month ago and half my brother fighting for his life, which was a surprise to his family and, dealing with very critical moments in health, the last of them occurred last week, when we thought that it would be us, but thanks to Dios managed to overcome that crisis, as doctors say the is a very strong person and others with many desires to live, that could leave the intensive care unit, but is still very delicate health, so ask everyone to pray for the health and speedy recovery of Gustavo, so God willing, the can continue communicating with you by this means, and with God's favor to be bearer of good news.
 Thank you all and please pray for their health.
 Liz Badell (Translated by Bing)

He was still looking big as of April...

If, and when, Gustavo is called to be with the Lord, his Obit will state that he passed quietly from "100% natural" causes.

Requiescat in pace, in advance.





Too much hard work  :(

Not really, Ronnie Coleman the man who no one can surpass as of late, who seemingly has the constitution of horse, and who only beat himself, will probably live to a ripe old age.
He was beaten in the challenge round, because Badell's triceps look aesthetically better than his in certain poses.
Now, you have Badell in ICU for what, we don't know, and he has been sick for awhile...
Flex Wheeler, another of Ronnie Coleman's main competitors was knocked out due to kidney issues...Nasser died from who knows what, but he was intent on staying "300 pounds with abs".

And then you have all these others competitors either dead or dying a slow death.

Yet, Ronnie Coleman is making babies and going "Yip, Yip" all day long. His money may run out, but watch him live to 80-90 yrs old, and all these other cats will be long gone.


You make the assumption that I don't wish "all natch-u-ral" Badell to get better. I do wish for him to get better.
But, ask yourself, when he played his own "challenge round" did he win or lose?

I think we can safely say that any health issues Gustavo is suffering from isn't because of bodybuilding drugs.  Gustavo himself assured everyone he was 100% natural, and why would he lie, he is a deeply religious man.

Same with Dugdale. I'm sure if you pray enough, God sees to it "you get what you need" in life. Albeit posing trunks and 60lbs of additional muscle. It's all about how good you are at praying.

But unlike some health issues is what forced them to quit and some still continue, must question the mental state on these individuals

Shawn walked away assuming he was healthy and he was 35/36 at the time, could have easily continued as his body wasn't worn out, but he was smart, started a family and left it behind

On the other hand...Prince, flex, kris dim, don long, Francois, luke wood, art atwood, nasser, Youngblood  etc... Some resulting in dying "young"

I understand you better now. I assumed you were making fun of his current condition. My problem now with your explanation is comparing anyone to Ronnie, the man isn't human, his DNA cannot be normal. Doesn't he still have a full head of hair. Hopefully for him he does live to be 80-90

Perhaps, but there is off season weight and competition weight. I believe both were posted on the Wikipedia site. Sure a lot of bodybuilders bulk up off season, but there is nothing to say someone can't lean out during an off season as well.

I see you got your keyboard fixed..but understanding the finer points of the context of what we speak of goes over your head.

Ronnie, broke himself, in terms of muscle tears and what not, but Ronnie also seemingly broke a physique that has not been surpassed, and looked like he was going to grow another set of arms from his back. With all the drugs he took, the man is still going at it, and making kids in the process, yet all these other competitors are dropping like flies...the same ones who were trying to keep up with Ronnie.
Ronnie will probably get to 60, 70, 80 (do I know for sure, of course I don't)...and probably will have more kids along the way...meanwhile, people are still asking about your bruised ass...

To be fair I think Ronnie started "abusing" later on his careers as in maybe his first O cause didn't he ask flex what to take to win? And from 2003-2005 where he made the most dramatic improvements esp 2003 where he supposedly weighed 287/290 and prior to 2002 where he was in the 250's or maybe even less
