Don Youngblood: What happened?

[Bodybuilder Lex Reeves]

Don was a truckdriver for many, many years prior to owning his own trucking business. He was out of shape and lived the truckers lifestyle. Unless you've driven truck, you probably don't know what that entails.

He was a cross-country driver.


He started bodybuilding late. Very late. He did not "ease" into the lifestyle. He dove head-first into hardcore bodybuilding.


He was a very nice guy and easy to talk to. Instead of owning an ordinary cat, he owned a huge Bobcat. He died in his sleep, but the reports as to "why" were kept quiet. The family never released the autopsy reports.


Don and I used to talk and email all the time. I still have emails from him. Sad, but yeah, prolly the best way to go if you had to choose.



I wish I still had the pics of him posing with his Bobcat and the one of him standing on top of his Kenworth.

Would you mind sharing his e-mails with us?

Would you mind sharing his e-mails with us?

I'm not sure it would be appropriate...


It seems weird for me to read through them, let alone posting on a board where people are notorious for bashing, tearing and ripping people apart.


Let me think about it a bit.

Don Youngblood almost died for you bitches! 

Can we go ahead and release Goatboy from time out now? I always loved reading his posts. Epic contributor. What the fuck did he do anyways? I cant even remember.

BB is the only endeavor in the world that can do more damage in the end than good

or it could be all the creatine he used.

What supplements do you use?
    I use a lot of effervescent creatine (possible overdose?), and a whole array of vitamins and minerals, including zinc, magnesium, calcium, multivitamins, vitamin-C, vitamin-e, iron, potassium, and even mega-mineral tablets. Could the mega's be the culprit?  

As if ...

yeah i am sure living as an overweight trucker up until he was in his 30's didn't have anything to do with it....
anyway he ain't coming back.... let the man RIP.....

A week ago a gentleman competing in the over 90kg class of my country when preparing to this year championship had kidney failure.
Off course it had nothing to do with steroids because they improve your health right? He problably was doing narcotics right?

Last week also a local bouncer who as been on and off steroids for 15 years had 2 heart attacks, still alive thow. 38 years old. Obviously steroids had nothing to do with it he was problably on blow. His bouncer partner died a year ago of... heart attack. same age, steroids everywere.

Was it the steroids? no no no no ! steroids improve health right? He was problably on narcotics!

here we go again.... FAILCO and his knowledge...
last night a friend of mine his dad past away... massive hartattack.... NO STEROIDS involved....
another friend of mine his uncle... hartattack.. again NO STEROIDS.... another friend of mine his dad... cancer... NO STEROIDS.... people get sick.... period...
another friend of mine also had a hartattack.... he used steroids yes... you know what the doc asked him???
does it run in your family?, and DO YOU SMOKE...? steroids were not even mentioned until later....
risk factors like smoking, genetics, and even stress are way way worse.... and this is coming from a doc....

about don... who said that he would have lived to see 80 years old , if he had not chosen to bodybuild....
maybe he would have died anyway....he was a diabetic, and lived a very unhealthy lifestyle most of his life.... but ofcourse it were the steroids that killed him 
 
this discussion is always very silly.... look at the guys from the 70's..... most are still very well and healthy.... and they all ABUSED the shit out of steroids.... a lot of orals which are known to heavily compromise good cholesterol...!! SO THERE YOU HAVE YOU ANSWER.....
Hell, look at Stallone... juicing for like almost 40 years!! lol....
people get sick and die.... bodybuilders are no different....

oh and kindney failure?? he misused diuretics.... probably followed your dumbass advice FAILCO....
steroids do not damage kidney's... it's the high bp that some steroids cause that is bad for kidney's... get your water retention under control and you are fine...
i am all for knowing the risks involved with PED's but these dumbass panic campaigns do not help anybody...
Steroids do not kill.....
diuretics, narcotics, insulin = early death....

Dealer talk.

[OptimusPrime1980]

Dealer talk.

nope no dealer..... just know my shit...
and if you accuse me, PROVE IT.....!!
you just keep talking nonsense.....
stuff that you heard somewhere.... you have never been there and done it...
SO WHO IS THE PARROT NOW?? YOU!

DISMISSED ... again.... FAILCO...

[funk51]

dying in your sleep sounds like the best way to go

i'd go with whorehouse heart attack as number one.

[BayGBM]

I think going while under anesthesia is probably a better way to go.  You are not dreaming . . . no conscious thought or sensation whatsoever.

You don't dismiss anyone here runaway boy.

You know nothing and you keep proving it to me many times.

I am sorry if i don't match your and your buddies selling agenda but you don't come here misleading kids to their doom just to increase your proffit.

You are not worth your weigh in manure.

You are the guru of inexperience.

[falco]

and i am not running away from anything.... really... so what is your point here??? another useless attempt to be a wiseass.... lol!!
i know nothing... ok lol.... fine.... why do people pm me asking for my advice... and even thanking me....?? why? because i give info without all the bullshit and it WORKS!!
and again this accusation of me being a dealer.... i do NOT sell drugs... i USE them... and am experienced in the field of PED's.... i have no need to sell them.... i make my money as far away from bb as possible...
so prove it , or shut up....

and  "i am not worth my weight in manure"  really how old are you man, lol.... 
we used to say stuff like that in kindergarten.....

[Skylge]

it would kick ass to look like that and be a multimillionaire.

[/i]

And be the richest man in the cemetery..

This. He was one of the best and around from the very start. Intelligent  and funny.... which makes a difference round here.

I think it was a Joe Weider thing that got him banned.

Regarding Youngblood, I'm sure he knew the risks...he wanted to be a beast at all costs. Shame the price was so high.
