Bodybuilders who have died young
« on: March 23, 2007, 10:30:05 AM »
What a loss to bodybuilding, but mostly to the families of these guys who are dying young who were competitive bodybuilders. When you think of who has died recently it's alarming. Here's who I just that I can remember who passed away:MOHAMMED MOMO BENAZZIZA,
ANDREAS MUNZER
PAUL DEMAYO
CURTIS LEFLER
ANTHONY D'AREZZO
ERIC OTERO
DON YOUNGBLOOD
DERRICK WHITSETT
GREG DEFERRO
SCOTT KLINE
ROB SAGER
JOHN RIGGINS

Rob sager, isn't that the gay dude. and how old was greg deferro?
I know Rob did some gay porn films-don't know much about him personally-actually, I never really knew he competed as a BB'er.
Sad, anyway-too young.

thats not a very long list

bodybuilding is still healthier than whatever lifestyle most americans have (being fat and watching tv 8 hours a day)

either way, it's a false pretense that professional bodybuilding is healthy. shouldn't a bodybuilder be able to make it through his 80th birthday

no.

bodybuilding isnt about being healthy. its about being freaky and dying on stage of internal bleedings and cramps.

this is what the audience wants and pay tickets to see!

it's modern gladiators KILLING THEMSELVES.

lol....well, the Audience is screaming for Mass and more Mass, and guys are going to the extreme to please the crowd's thirst for more mass. Bodybuilders are the perfect models for strong health, or are they?

I think, Punisher, that is why I like the BB'ers of the 80's/early 90's so much-it wasn't So much mass, but really well proportioned bodies-Paris, Labrada, etc. To me they seemed a lot HEALTHIER...

Oh, dear, the word's out.  BBs are willing to pay a high price for their
extraordinary bodies.  Sounds fair to me.  Besides, some folks just aren't
interested in becoming old and wrinkly.  Imagine how cranky THEY'D be!!!

Am I to infer that we women are immortal?  I lost my best friends
within the first 10 years of training.  Whatever hardens the muscle, hardens the
heart...and arteries.

Forgot about MIKE MENTZER, a man who was an expert on training & bodybuilding. His training articles are still being printed in Ironman . What a huge loss. And then his brother RAY MENTZER died within days after Mike passed away.
