most of these conditions were congenital. They would have suffered from them earlier, but bodybuilding helps to "hold off" illnesses for decades longer.
For example, without the successes of bodybuilding, Craig Titus would have faced life in prison by age 22. His love of iron allowed him the $ and lifestyle to hold off that sentence for nearly a decade.

Good list but to be fair, Chick had prostate cancer which I'm sure all those wonderful DHT derivatives contributed to.

Anything is possible, but don't be too sure that DHT caused his prostate cancer. Prostate cancer statistics indicate that it is a very common disease.
"Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. It is also one of the leading causes of cancer death among men of all races and Hispanic origin populations. For more information, visit Cancer Among Men.
In 2011 (the most recent year numbers are available)—
209,292 men in the United States were diagnosed with prostate cancer.*†
27,970 men in the United States died from prostate cancer.*†
*Incidence counts cover about 99% of the U.S. population; death counts cover about 100% of the U.S. population. Use caution when comparing incidence and death counts."

No shit, but to claim DHT converting drugs have no effect on potential tumor proliferation on an already vulnerable organ in men is just plain retarded.

I remember that issue, it had an early article on the reintroduction of DNP by an ex dealer named Jeff Feliciano. Flex actually had some decent drug articles at that time, spurred on by the success of Muscle Media 2000.
I'm sure if you opened up that issue now, the number of dead or busted out bodybuilders would be even more shocking.

One of the first thing they do with prostate cancer with many is to give a pill that effectively stops your testicles from making testosterone. Many forget that anabolic steroids were invented to increase the anabolic properties of testosterone and to minimize the androgen effect. They did this because the Soviets Olympic team was using so much straight testosterone and the results in many was an enlarged prostate. Some had it so bad they had to use a catheter to urinate. So my conclusion is that using steroids can hasten the development of enlarged prostate and maybe even cancer. But hey, I'm not a doctor.

Nope you're correct, while using vocabulary easy to understand for the lay person.

In a parallel universe, '240 went to Law School' is raking it in.

their wastes look huge to me i this pic. Was insulin being used at this point in time? From what I've read growth already was. Maybe it's just the angle.

Yes, lots.

Did I claim DHT had no effect? I didn't think I did. Truth is, no one really knows what may have contributed to his prostate cancer. I believe I remember him mentioning to me that his father also had prostate cancer. Specific cancers are often thought to be genetic. The point I was making was that prostate cancer is a very common cancer and ailment.
Without a doubt, my being on HRT could have contributed to the onset of my having prostate cancer. It certainly was the reason it was caught so early on since I was having PSA #'s checked quarterly. I had prostate issues my entire adult life, which surely had some effect. My family history is riddled with cancer on both sides. Many things contribute to one getting cancer. My love for scotch could have been a culprit too. Perhaps I should have had prostate massages to avoid getting cancer. ;D

Yeah they look like a couple of piles of shit...."wastes".;D Their waist(lines) are large, much like many bodybuilders from this time period.

don't be so hard on yourself champ, you a thonged older gentleman seemingly doing well and seem to battle the iron regularly :-\

Sounds logical, but prostate cancer isn't especially prevalent in bodybuilders. Considering the amount of dht/androgens they take, you'd think it would be epidemic.
Maybe they succumb to CV/renal stuff first, who knows.

I think it's a bit premature to draw that conclusion just yet. I'd like to see how the 80s Bodybuilders turn out in another 10 years. My gut says they are going to have prostate issues, in fact I'll be shocked if they are immune to it and have the same rates as your average joe.

Well you are an expert in all things prostate, so I will definately take your advice into deep consideration.

i was thinking about the 70's guys also and i dont know of any that had prostate problems,im sure some do i prolly just havent heard of any.they where doing test and dbol back then also so they should have issues with their prostates by now i would imagine if test was the culprit ???

Good point, if I saw a magazine like this in my teenage sons bedroom I would get questions in my head about which Side he's batting for. I sometimes wonder if my parents wondered if I was heading to be gay and were just too old fashioned to raise that conversation with me.

What's funny is if a young kid who is just getting into bodybuilding finds this issue, he will think the two guys on the cover (prince and titus) have it made. he will envision them with huge muscles and many women. too bad he wont realize that one is in jail and the other is a skinny twink now.. :D

Has to be said - when was 18 and training in "Thor Gym" & listening to Guns N Roses - I saw nothing gay about a picture of a shirtless, tanned, oiled up muscular man in cut off jeans held up by braces with workmans boots and rolled down white socks on his feet and a large chain around his neck, who at the same time was carrying a truck tire in each hand.
Nope - to me that was just a picture of an athlete and in no way masturbation material for those that take the other bus home.
