A guy at a gym local to me died after he finished doing dumbell bench presses - I only heard about it cos it was in the local paper.

The only time bodybuilding gets in the mainstream press is when something negative happens.

In truth weight training helps your health strengthens the muscle around the heart,also helps blood flow.Death occurs because of pre-existing health problems..so many doctors tell people to walk and train with weights for rehab
the problem is some have no clue how to train and they over due it..

None of those people died because of lifting, they just died while lifting.Saying that them lifting had something to do with it is just ridiculous.

he probably had a cardiomyopathy or some kind of damage to the heart. It can be from birth or it can be from a virus. Most of us can have it and never know about it because it cant always be detected on a basic EKG. If you ever had a bad flu or virus and just worked through it and didnt' take antibiotics or stopped taking them to early you could have damaged your heart. The heart does not repair damage tissue like other muscles, it just creates scar tissue and gets inflamed and enlarged. But unfortuantely as you age it just keeps spreading until your heart stops. So go out and ask your doc for a treadmill stess test, not just an ekg to see if you have any damage to your heart. THere are medicines and treatments to stop or slow down the spread of the dead tissue.
