scary stuff all around this week. Hope mike recovers and does whatever steps are necessary to stay alive. being 120 pound vegan might not be too bad of an alternative at this point.

It's hard to go back after this.

why are people assuming anything about pucketts death.. ? there are no results yet.. none.. as for mike m.. he admits to eating pounds.. yes pounds of red meat a day.. he liked other substances too.. so lets stop "assuming" what we absolutely dont know.. until you hear the autopsy then just say "rip" and leave it alone..

We don't know what caused his death, people.

I've said before....those who "support" drug use, find zero fault at times like these, while those demonize them (drugs), will blame them entirely. I'd like to think that truth is somewhere in the middle.

smartest post of the thread. Get well soon Mike.

Lats,

It's not about assuming....... it's about acknowledging.

A lot of these guys on this board will not acknowledge the fact that this shit is dangerous and it is going to have some adverse affects whether getting a few pimples or kidney failure.

The smart ones can figure this out quick and find ways around it.

Not being a smart ass, but I wonder if this would have happend regardless of the 4 grams of test, gh, decca,insulin etc.... he was taking. Thoughts? I do agree genetics plays a huge role.

One post (Above) you say the drugs could have caused the heart attack.

Another, you say "Juice will not kill someone at 22"..quite contradicting isn't that?

What difference does age matter and unless you lived with Mike, you have no idea how much he took vs. the kid? His heart issues are purely a genetic deal. Something Mike has been struggling with for a while. No one knows yet how the kid died, bet it had nothing to do with juice!

A little more off the wall info for you, they like to pick off their scabs and sell them to other addicts because of the rejected chemicals in their body fluids. They like to lick and eat the scabs to get a high.

I hope your not serious ! On another note, didn't Mike's Father die of a Heart Attack a couple Years back ?

No I said "I wonder". I also stated juice wont kill somebody at 22. 40-45=20 years of juicing different story.

It does matter. Duration of exposure. Plus Mike said he had had poor cholesterol for a long time.

Correct. I can someone say age doesn't matter.

I'd say Mike's heart troubles had far more to do with the bodybuilding lifestyle than Puckett's death. Unless Puckett was readying for a show, I doubt roids had much, if anything, to do with his premature passing.

Those who know Mike will tell you 25 percent of the Matarazzo heart is about 120 percent that of a normal person's.

haha, typical FLEX ignorance under the guise of optimism. It reminds me of when they said that Dennis James had double pneumonia because he had to be symmetrical.

PS - I dig FLEX!!!

Is Matarazzo still working as a bail bondsman for AJ's Bail Bonds ??

Unless you have a predisposition to Heart Disease, High Cholesterol, High Blood pressure then steroids can be a ticking time Bomb.

But if you have a healthy heart Low Cholesterol low Blood Pressure no family history the chances of Moderate to high usage of anabolics i doubt will cause these problems just my opinion

I believe Mike had 0 good cholesterol since 1998. He was on Lipitor if I'm not mistaken.

A source I know who is not credible AT ALL said that Mike smoked rock. No clue if that is true though but given Mike's current heart condition, who knows?

Guys.....

Look. Former professional and amatuer bodybuilders are SUFFERING healthwise in the EARLY 40s because of the drugs they took when they were younger.

It's no secret. They are embarassed so they keep their mouths shut about it.

They have absolutely NO SEX DRIVE and their dicks don't work. All the Viagra in the world isn't going to help them either. Those bodily functions have SHUT DOWN.

This is causes them lack of confidence to the point of depression and failed marriages and relationships.

THEY WILL TELL YOU IT ISN'T WORTH--if they weren't so embarrassed and SELFISH.

Muscles NOW aren't worth all the problems LATER.

Serge Nubret is closing in on 70 his staple diet of 4or 5 pounds of red meat a day, pluss god knows what he was taking My guess moderate amounts of juice through most of his adult life.

I think its genetics, some very heavy users will reach oldage

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #46 on:** November 08, 2007, 08:26:04 PM »

Worst were the chemicals. I have so many memories of being alone in a hotel room the week, five days or two days before a contest, and doing unspeakable things to my body--steroids, growth hormones, diuretics--anything and everything that we as bodybuilders do to achieve a certain look.

It wasn't worth it, was it Mike? You never listened to your family. Again, you are dragging them through a torrid time.

Mike's misery is a lesson to all of us.

About the shittiest thing in the world you can do is shittalk someone using someone else's words. Even worse, is that you know the information is not credible. So why repeat it?

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #48 on:** November 08, 2007, 08:44:18 PM »

- Mike continues his diatribe, in what is a very candid interview:

The greatest danger, though, is that, while dieting and training stay the same through the years, there's a compulsion to experiment more wildly with chemicals. Every day, guys are on the phone asking who's using what, where are they getting it, how are they mixing it?

Blame only one person, yourself!

Your self-centered and destructive behaviour has got you into this horrible mess... For what? A few plastic trophies and some soiled thongs.

My heart goes out to your family, who once again have to nurse you through another self-inflicted-castrophe!

I can't help but believe that if Mr. Matarazzo had access to supervision from knowledgable physicians, that he would not be in his current health situation. That is the real bitch about the Steroid Control Act, it has taken away the knowledgable doctors. Left to their own devices, bodybuilders when in doubt...up the dose.
