Oh bullshit Rob. Just bullshit.

it's very rare, but it does happen. Didn't derek anthony lose a 30-year old friend recently who passed from heart failure? I'm not saying it's any excuse not to go all out in the gym.. just the reality that some people in this world have poor tickers.

What if the lifter in question is a camel jockey and implodes during the 30th rep? Does that include like triple the points?

And if your aorta bursts while squatting, well fuck it, it was bound to happen one way or another sometime.

you can die from heart failure at any age.

If you have some undiagnosed flaw, or if you just overdo it, you can die suddenly. I'm not saying 20 or 50 or 70 deadlifts can kill you. But it is something to take into consideration when lifting. I don't know all the details of Jesse Maurande's death in July... but he was 27, wasn't he?

Yes you can. Most athletes die from idiotrophic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Long QT syndrome is also another issue.

this is very interesting, but way beyond what I understand. Can you break it down in simpler terms that I may use for WIKI learning?

Yeah but that doesn't make it ok to use this as an excuse not to try to deadlift hard if you have an interest in doing it or value what it could potentially do for you, is all I'm saying.

I fully agree, you should never live life in fear of what may happen. Jesse loved what he did eventhough I do think he knew his family had a history of heart problems.

it's only an excuse if you don't really want to do it.

lazy trainers use a mild knee injury they had when they were 14 playing junior high football as a reason not to squat. they use a pulled back muscle they got while moving a piano back in '97 as a reason not to deadlift, or a bad shoulder that stopped hurting them four years ago as a reason not to bench heavy.

if you really want to lift hard but have a scare, it's a different beast entirely. in my case i'd say it's much ado about nothing and i'm safe, but that feeling i had on the floor of the gym with my arms going numb is one that rattled me pretty good when it comes to going totally balls to the wall.

Marunde had some form of cardiomyopathy. Most likely HOCM/IHSS or some other sort of hypertrophy. There is rumors of excessive "stimulant" use, which would potentiate an ICMP like dilated cardiomyopathy. Either one would greatly predispose someone to risk of cardiac arrest.
The abnormal musculature of the heart in these cases increases the risk for abnormal ventricular rhythms.
Normal people have little to no risk of this.
If you're worried about dying of a cardiac arrest without any pre-existing cardiomyopathy (a trivial murmur some doctor may have heard doesn't count. Everyone has some level of regurgitation across every valve), then you should be equally worried of dying by lightning strike or spontaneous combustion as there is pretty equal chances of all three.

Don't be such a fucking pussy that you're scared to train hard, then instead blame it on the chance of cardiac arrest.
Especially when you know absolutely nothing about its etiology.

TA never said he did it without rest. He did it with periods of rest, Canning.

he said he did it in about 5 minutes or so without putting the bar down when resting.

P.S. I had a mild heart attack at 29 while squating so please don't fool yourself it does happen.
