Title: Dallas McCarver: The Victim of Bodybuilding
Post by: affeman on September 01, 2025, 11:51:12 AM
Very touching documentary about one of the most gifted athletes of the past 2 decades

Nice documentary. Had vaguely heard of him, but no idea who he really was. American football is known for the very high injury risk.
But the mortality rate is much lower than with pro bodybuilding.
As a football player Dallas probably would have earned a lot more money too. And he would be alive today.

He made a lot of wrong choices and had no idea what he was doing.

Average weight of a healthy adult male's liver is around 1.6 kilos. Dallas' liver at the autopsy was over 4.5 kilos!! Totally insane drug use.
Not to mention his retarded over the top "let's copy Ronnie" training.

Very strong and great bodybuilder. He needed more detail, but could have been a Mr. O. So what's the real cause of death? Did he choke on chicken or was it just a normal heart attack? Or did the choking cause a heart attack? Let's say he chewed his food more carefully and took smaller bites, would he still be alive?

Any updates on how the money was used that was donated for him?

And I would still love some clarification on the anecdote that Dallas apparently was huge into volunteering…and it was a huuuuuge part of his life…yet he never spoke about it.

They (Singerman, his employee, and Dallas's ex-girl) dissolved the foundation before they had to put out the annual report showing where the money ($57,000) went. Someone did make a donation in McCarver's name to St Jude, but I believe that came from his mother. She'd be an interesting interview. The gf waited a year, then dated a NBA guy, and a boxer.

Dallas had one of the largest hearts ever recorded:


https://drmirkin.com/histories-and-mysteries/dallas-mccarver-bodybuilder-dead-at-age-26.html


And massively enlarged kidneys and liver, severe kidney damage, extensively scarred lungs, and papillary thyroid cancer.

But other than that he was in great health    ;D

That's crazy considering he was only 26. Makes you really wonder how others can push it to the limit in that sport well into their 40s, is it really all genetics? (I can't imagine he'd be abusing the shit out of everything so much more then everyone else....)

Dallas was abusing EPO most likely synthol and we know very well his abuse of steroids...

I think it was 10g a week. Keep in mind Ronnie Nasser and some others are believed to have run 5g a week, so the jump in dosage makes sense considering how much dallas weighed. Also chad stated when he started working wjth dallas (taking over from the previous coach matt jansen, who is known for super high dosages) chad said immediately they dropped everything in half. Im betting jansen killed him but thats only speculation.

Matt Jansen literally made his name and business coaching him. He helped make this monster and certainly didn’t give a shit about him or his health. But how dumb could Dallas have been to not know he was sick and getting worse? The autopsy is shocking to read. He wouldve known he was getting sick with those readings.
And let’s also not forget he was a mediocre pro, not anywhere close to a top contender. His body was falling apart. The badly split abs were only getting worse, couldn’t pose without badly sweating and couldn’t catch his breath when he did. Looked far older than he really was too. He wasn’t a victim, he was just big and dumb and bbers romanticize him for it.

Chad halved jansens dosages now thats saying something. Chads olympia stack has been made public many times. His standard

3500 test
1500 deca, eq, primo (doesnt matter how much of each, total is 1500)
6-10 anadrol cycled with 100mgs dball
Serostim 8ius AM and 4iv post workout (4ius iv equivalent to 24 subq)
Humalog before big meals
T3 100mcg daily

Jansen surely added epo and synthol

I don't think it's caused by lack of understanding on an intellectual level, although that is part of it, I rather think this is all ego driven recklessness as well as dopamine addiction.

Yes, mostly this.

Few months before his death he made a video ranting that he is a professional and he knows what he is doing because the peanut gallery told him to ease up on the juice

papillary thyroid cancer.

I have a friend who had this at 30.

It's nbd -- one of the weakest types of cancer, with survival rates >99% in the young.  My friend is still in the gym, looking good, and making gainz without a thyroid.  But he had to come off HGH permanently and forever.  This kind of thyroid cancer is only dangerous when it spreads to other organs, and HGH facilitates that.

It probably wouldn't have killed him, but Dallas' career as a pro would have been over as soon as his docs discovered his thyroid cancer.  Not that it matters.

May not be imo either but the IFBB and the powers that be, were pushing him and I think eventually he would have won. He was also 6’1/6’2 so 99 percent taller than all the other bbers in height alone

Yes and bodybuilders also have an extreme urge to lie and inflate about height, weight, body part size, wealth, ... when talking about themselves or others they are talking about, not out of admiration but out of the never ending desire for attention that is the single driving force of their meaningless existence.

Then probably 5'11. I didn't realize until I watched the new video that he was a fatboy in high school. And all of the usual embellishments, he was a "highly recruited" high school football player who "could've gone to the NFL!" 

Because when you look around the NFL, the sheer number of 5'11 white men is overwhelming.

Just more revisionist history. He was just another drug addict. The only difference was better genetics for bodybuilding. But far worse genetics for surviving the dosages.

I trolled the fat fuck on another forum years ago, I got the daft twat to admit to taking GH at 19 when he was eating buckets of KFC every night.

Im betting jansen killed him but thats only speculation.

Nasser was also rumored to have taken 10 grams, 5 grams of just test alone. Milos showed where he had written down that at the time Nasser was taking 10 Anadrol a day. Chad said Nasser was using 5 Anadrol (likely didn't want the real number out) and a ton of Winstrol and had jaundice from it. Chad was a big believer in Anadrol.

Chad said Daallas was the perfect client and did what he was told, but then said he told Dallas to  drop the EPO but that he suspected he didn't. EPO is a very interesting compound IMO and its PED effects extend far beyond its blood building effects, even has protective and antioxidant effects. I saw reel that there's an EPO analogue now sold to our communities, something that doesn't have the blood building effect but has other benefits.
I'd be highly interested in that and even regular EPO since I'm anemic but don't have the cash currently. That Dallas dropped his doses with Chad is baloney guaranteed IMO. Not saying Chad told him to continue or didn't encourage moderation but it's a bargaining situation when lowering doses is discussed. Regardless, I think Dallas killed himself, but sure, Jansen probably didn't help the situation... Dallas was a grown man and could decide for himself.
