He only competed once in a weak line up, and got third. One supposes it was easier to go after the gay dollar, than bother trying to work his way up the contest chain.

I would think misuse or overuse of Synthol.  Otherwise, given time, I think he had pro potential.  He was 5'10.5", and could have probably turned pro as a very tight superheavyweight at just under 230-lb, then put on mass from there, and ultimately competed in the 240+ range.

I dunno...The lifelong dream nightmare of being a manho buttslut, poisoning himself with all manner of crap and dying of AIDS?   If one reads about him here, that would be a good guess at what his definition of living the scheme is.

I imagine that fuckwit Duffy will come to a similar ending, albeit one with a telephone pole shoved up his butthole.  What a bunch of maroons.

You are so negative at times. FYI, Derek died of kidney failure....which may also have been a result of his lifestyle. Or like some people he had the misfortune of having kidney problems.

Based on what he posted on Getbig, he was a bit of an asshole. He should have fit right in.

What didn't kill Derek was being a "manho". Since I never knew him intimately, I have no idea if he was a "buttslut" or if he was actually someone who thought he was holier-then-thou, like you and also like you, a never ceasing stone thrower. Maintaining your personal perfection must be very time consuming.

By all accounts Derek Anthony had an enormous kielbasa. Melvin Goodrum was filled with envy because he thought he had the biggest sausage on getbig.com. After losing the pose down to Billy Guns he lashed out at Derek and that's why Derek spit on him.

I read somewhere that Derek claimed he had a 10" sausage between his legs. I don't have quite 10", so I'll say if he Truly did hang that, then that is pretty impressive. On the other hand, Derek was a bit of a braggart. Could he have stretched the truth from 5" to 10"? It's possible. Most men, including me, like to make more of ourselves than we are. I think it is just human nature.

In the case of Melvin, he must be a "grower" because his one moment of claim to fame in a posing suit (as per photos on Getbig) certainly didn't do him justice. But hey, who am I to say what's impressive and what isn't?

It's said that God has put within the confines of our lifetime the chance to make memories that will outlive us.  You do realize that throughout your life you've met a great many people.  Some you came to know and most you never will and that includes people here.

If you think about it, you have no clue as to just whom you are talking at. Oh to be certain there are some here that reveal enough and others that show no tell.  You may have spoken with someone who is something more.  Something better.  Something that is beyond your desire to know, accept and understand but only because you lack the necessary faith.  And you'd rather not know.

And now, everyone knows.  But to be honest, they always have.

oil, genetics and work ethic

This.   He was a lazy fuck who expected everything to be given to him and not earned.  Had severe entitlement issues.   Combined with his insecurities, it is no wonder he never amounted to anything in BBing or life in general.  He had above average genetics, but was too lazy to put in the work to capitalize on them.  Instead he went the synthol route.  He was a superstar in his own mind.  He fell in with the other washouts of the Muscle Mafia or whatever they called themselves, and was still the biggest turd in that.  And that is saying a lot.  Dave and Greg never amounted to anything other than crooks and curiosity oddities.  Derek couldn't even stand out in that cesspool.   Then when he actually started to pretend to be in the real mafia.....   LOL

What does this mean?  I know "bro" is short for "brother" but is there a context on this forum for it's use?  I am not joking.  I think I recall it have a "?" sometimes but I'm not certain about that. 

My family is not here to help me with this and they would but would be laughing about it, I am certain.   ;D

I am not hip nor am I kidding.  Sorry.  I just used "brofessional" as it is a merger of "brother" and "professional".  That I understand.   

Edit:  Just got off the phone with my oldest brother and he explained it to me.

Army of One,

That video is sad.  Thank you for sharing it, and thank you for being man enough to show some emotion to express that it's ok for us to be sad about a young man who had family who loved him who died in extreme pain the way Derek did.  Some people think men shouldn't express moments of sadness, and I can tell you as a man who is The Rock for literally all the alpha males in my city during their moments of need, that despite not being a man who cries, and rarely having moments of weakness...that there are still days, and I would never downplay the tragedy of a young man dying, leaving behind family behind him who loved him, friends, including many in the industry, who cared about him, and people who just consider young deaths to be just a little bit sadder than a death after a long live well-lived.

Thank you, Army - for your post, and not being afraid to show some emotion.  As someone who liked Derek and considered him a friend, I appreciate you doing that.

Little potshots, I don't mind.  But when I get the impression some people were happy - even giddy - over him dying...I just find it sad.  Or maybe pathetic would be the more appropriate feeling about that.  I appreciate your maturity, and not being afraid to acknowledge that Derek's death was sad.  As cocky and annoying - as full of himself at times as he could be - that didn't make him a monster, and definitely didn't make him deserve such a young and painful death.  At least, IMO [regardless of the fact that he likely brought all, or at least most, of his health issues on himself].  I still find it sad, and I said that in 2013 when he died.

The video you posted didn't specify, but I assume that little girl singing with Derek was his niece, based on the closeness of their relationship.  I don't think he would kiss a little girl on the cheek like that, unless she was a close relative, with a special relationship - like uncle and niece.

I think 32 years old - 32 years young - is way too young to die.

Derek was in great condition [albeit with some noticeable Synthol] in 2004.  He was 5'10.5" and around 240-lb, and very lean.

Army of One, to your point: Had he started a YouTube channel in 2013 in that sort of conditioning, I think he could have easily vaulted into the 100K subscriber range on YouTube, as you suggested.  I think you are very close with your estimated figure of 12 years.  I would say that if Derek had been born nine years later [in 1990] and been in the shape he was at 22-23 in 2013, rather than 2004, he could have thrived in that Wild Wild West period on YouTube for ad revenue that ended in 2016 when Trump got elected, and YouTube realized that social media was having a major impact on politics - and ad dollars vanished almost overnight until YouTube started censoring healthy [videos at least...comments' sections, when news channels leave them open, tend to be pretty uncensored still, and I appreciate that a lot].

Instead, by the time Derek got to YouTube, he wasn't in the same great shape he was in in 2004 [Synthol aside - which was always a detriment/distraction to his physique] by the time he was posting videos.  He then ultimately got sick [I'm guessing due to the Synthol being processed by his body/kidneys, with the Synthol leading directly to the health problems he developed, and ultimately died from].  I'm not sure if recreational drugs played a role...but given the stripping lifestyle, it wouldn't surprise me.  I have heard stories of bodybuilders using stimulant recreational drugs to get lean [I think mainly meth...but I would think coke would make sense too].

Not healthy...but when is high level bodybuilding ever healthy?

I saw Derek at the 2007 Arnold Classic Expo.  I think he was sharing a booth with Jose Canseco, and needed extra security because of all the online hate, which carried its way into the expo and caused some issues for Derek in person.  I think Derek said that the extra security was for Jose Canseco...and that would also make sense.  I think Special Ed and TheBlockhead confronted him to try to get him to melt [in a comical/trolling way], and Derek Anthony didn't want any conflict.  Bodybuilders may be strong - but potentially getting accosted by a group of men who you don't know and who may hate you is going to cause issues for any man, no matter how strong he may be.

Derek and I talked a lot on my old board, and I listened to his podcast.  He even gave my bodybuilding website [BodybuildingPro] and message board a shoutout.  :)  He was also on my Facebook friend for years until his death in 2013, and I considered Derek to be a friend.  An online friend, mostly [since I only saw him in person once at that Arnold Expo in 2007] - but a friend, nevertheless.  I had nothing bad to say about him.  I was sad when he died.  His death hit close to home for me, because he was only six months older than me...and it kind of hit home because of that.  Sad ending to a short life - and he was in a lot of pain towards the end.  A LOT.  He literally posted on a Friday evening on Facebook about being in tremendous pain from his kidney issues - and he died four days after that post. :(  Sad stuff.

Imagine being in the amount of pain that literally IS the pain of dying?  I can't even imagine that level of pain.  That's sad and scary to me.  And I was sad for him, regardless of the personal decisions he made that brought about his health issues.

Derek did get into fights online, a lot of which he also did instigate.  He felt under attack a lot, which I think resulted in him being attacked a lot, and it became a sort of self-fulfilling cycle/prophecy.  Had he not been so defensive over minor criticisms, I think he would have gotten along better with board members, both on here and on MuscleMayhem back in the day, and had more positive experiences - as well as more positive experiences for the people he got into online spats/fights with.  And he contradicted himself by saying that The True Adonis' girlfriend was both "fucking hot" and "fucking busted" in the same AIM conversation with TA, LOL...Derek was funny sometimes.  Again, you'll never hear me saying anything bad about him.  I liked the guy, but I understand why there were others who did not.

He was a character, but I always liked Derek. :)

For any beefs he had with other members, Derek and I never had any, and I always liked him.  I can't hate on a guy who never disrespected me.

Say what you will, but I don't wish a young painful death on anyone, aside from maybe sick child killers or other similar scum.  Even with them, I would rather they have a quick painless death than a slow painful one.  Derek had his issues, but he wasn't a monster.  His death was depressing, very painful, and just way too young, IMO.

RIP Derek Anthony.  You were my friend, and I have absolutely zero shame in stating that.  You are missed.

He was a character, but I always liked Derek. :)

For any beefs he had with other members, Derek and I never had any, and I always liked him.  I can't hate on a guy who never disrespected me.

Say what you will, but I don't wish a young painful death on anyone, aside from maybe sick child killers or other similar scum.  Even with them, I would rather they have a quick painless death than a slow painful one.  Derek had his issues, but he wasn't a monster.  His death was depressing, very painful, and just way too young, IMO.

RIP Derek Anthony.  You were my friend, and I have absolutely zero shame in stating that.  You are missed.

DA was an interesting person, but i think he had some BBing potential.  He had a weak back from what i recall and the oil in his arms was terrible.  I think if he would have taken it seriously and trained/eaten correctly he might have had a chance.  However he decided to party and do lots of drugs instead.  It's weird because at times he came across as a pretty cool guy, but i think his "badass" persona was driven by his ego and the amount of drugs he was on.  When you're strung out on many different drugs for years at a time, you lose a lot of yourself.

He never took criticism well, everyone was a "hater" to him, but he deserved all the shit he got.  Who knows what potential he had?  The guy ruined his life with drugs IMO, i think underneath it all he was probably a decent person.

I read somewhere that Derek claimed he had a 10" sausage between his legs. I don't have quite 10", so I'll say if he Truly did hang that, then that is pretty impressive. On the other hand, Derek was a bit of a braggart. Could he have stretched the truth from 5" to 10"? It's possible. Most men, including me, like to make more of ourselves than we are. I think it is just human nature.

In the case of Melvin, he must be a "grower" because his one moment of claim to fame in a posing suit (as per photos on Getbig) certainly didn't do him justice. But hey, who am I to say what's impressive and what isn't?

My family is not here to help me with this and they would but would be laughing about it, I am certain.   ;D

I am not hip nor am I kidding.  Sorry.  I just used "brofessional" as it is a merger of "brother" and "professional".  That I understand.   

Edit:  Just got off the phone with my oldest brother and he explained it to me.

He seems to have left it a long time before finally going to the ER.  A liver 3 x regular size plus yellow skin is not something most could ignore/live with(!)

Also, was it me or did his cycle seem sort of medium (ish) for a Pro?  Is 8-10 D-bol a day a lot?  (I never did orals)

"He self-administered the following AAS from 2011 to 2012 in cycles of 4 weeks with rest periods of several weeks between the cycles:

nandrolone decanoate (400 mg/week)
sustanon (750 mg/week)
methandienone (280–350 mg/week)
stanozolol (50 mg/day for 1 month)
and human growth hormone (4 IE/day for 3 month)"

I'd put this as low middle in terms of dosing. I also don't believe the 4 wks on, bunch of weeks off, I think he just didn't want to sound like a drug pig to the doctors.

Edit - On the Dianabol, I'd consider 50-100mg/day pretty average now a days.

All depends. If they are 10 mg pills its not too crazy (if done for short 4-week cycle).
If they are 50 mg pills, then yes, 500 mg's a day of D-Bol will fry a liver pretty quickly.

Jesus - I didn't even realise you can get 50mg - they were always 5mg when I saw them so I thought 8-10/day = 280-350/week in his cycle

When it comes to these types of hepatic tumors it's not necessarily dosage related. The liver is a major site for hormone metabolism. These tumors are usually tied to synthetic estrogen but androgens can also play a roll so more bodybuilders are being looked at. We had two bodybuilders with liver tumors in the southern area of my tiny populated state. One had a football size benign tumor which burst and another with a full blown carcinoma requiring resection and chemo. He survived the liver cancer only to succumb to lymphoma at 34.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17261770/

I usually just pick one study to use as an example but if you look at the references they on the studies they often contain up to 30+. For example; I have shown how BMI has become is a major contributing factor to kidney scarring and failure in bodybuilders (just like fat people). Most are in denial in regards to this. Add the toxic compounds, the high protein intake and, well you know the outcome.

This is true.  Down to the bitter end,  Derek was still trying to remain relevant.  I think he realized at the end he had no "legacy" and no importance in the "industry" outside of being a GetBig punching bag that triggered his insecure meltdowns every time he looked at this board. 

I'm not trying to attack him or dismiss his death, but from what I have seen this guy was a waste of oxygen from the get-go.

That's sad.  I would think from Derek's position, that he saw himself as a bodybuilder who came close to turning pro, or at least made it to the top of the amateur level, and thought of himself as someone who could turn pro.  Maybe, as you said, towards the end of his life, he realized that he did not have a bodybuilding legacy.

Does anyone know exactly what led to Derek's initial poor health?  Was it synthol being processed by his kidneys?

He went by Derek Springer, Derek Anthony, or Derek Lettereli/Letterel. I've heard various reasons for this, Letterel is his mother's maiden name, so that's easy enough that he used a version of that. Springer is his father's name, Anthony is his middle name. Little confusing.

I remember that.  I once pointed out his "photo" was unclear and he sent me several PMs ranting about how "clear" they were.  He had another photo he was wearing beat up Keds shoes in.   


Ok, I read four pages of that 140 thread.  Either a lot of people were kissing his ass nonstop or he had a hell of a lot of alters on here to post with.  Hilarious the members on here who thought his arm was 19".  Making comments like "that's a big arm", "solid dude",  "dude I wouldn't mess with", etc...   Dude was clearly a fat ass.

I remember that.  I once pointed out his "photo" was unclear and he sent me several PMs ranting about how "clear" they were.  He had another photo he was wearing beat up Keds shoes in.   


Ok, I read four pages of that 140 thread.  Either a lot of people were kissing his ass nonstop or he had a hell of a lot of alters on here to post with.  Hilarious the members on here who thought his arm was 19".  Making comments like "that's a big arm", "solid dude",  "dude I wouldn't mess with", etc...   Dude was clearly a fat ass.

SF had like a cult following of online members (or gimmicks) for years.  People believed all his bullshit stories because he was whitty and original.  I thought he was pretty good at telling stories.

The thing that i found so odd was all the people backing up how "big" he was based off that one picture.  I think Dave knew how to promote his lies and to not give enough information about his fat bodied self to ruin his illusion.

Either way he was part of the best times of Getbig, he helped create a lot the things we remember today like "meltdown" and other terms we take for granted.

alex23 is responsible for the owning of the squadfather

this all started after squad called alex's black wife a monkey, alex decided to seek revenge so he got squad's phone number from special ed when squad called into his podcast big nation radio, he used his phone number to find his address

that mug shot is several years after this all happened

E

So Squadfather was a sandman? Funny being arab and racist. As arabs are seen as the worst immigrants next to africans.

Exactly.  "That's a big arm."    ::)  Delusional fucks too scared to speak truth or he would attack them.

DA in that heavy-bag pic, horrible stance, punch, etc.
Looks like he never trained in boxing or martial arts.  ::)

It wasn't too long after SF got sent packing that DA got owned badly too.   Who did that?  I am thinking it was Venom Vince on here that sent the gay stuff to his dad??

I doubt he had ever trained for boxing or MMA.  That video was so pathetic and he was very proud of it.  ;D

Goes to show that having big muscles filled with oil do fuck all in boxing and fighting in general.

He looked like a 12 year old girl flailing at a punch bag for the first time, it was so pathetic, but hey everyone has to start somewhere i guess.

The worst was he thought he was bobbing and weaving and he looked like a pigeon by scrunching his head down in his traps.  I got the feeling that in a real fight, all you had to do was pop him in the face one time and he would instantly start running to the cops.

I wish when he spat on Vince that Vince would have retaliated by brandishing his kielbasa and proceeded to pistol whip DA with it.
