Charles Glass had a heart attack a few months ago

[TrueGrit]

Is this what Blondie was singing about in 'Heart of Glass'?

[NubianMuscle]

I read in his MD column that he had a heart attack.  Anyone know how old he is?

Charles was born in 1950, so he will be 58 this year.

Charles was born in 1955.  Tim would probably know the exact date or check www.musclememory.com and see if its listed (and for other great info).  He said on PBW that he works from 6AM to 10PM or something equally ridiculous I believe.  It's not a surprise that this would happen in light of his workload.

 I totally believe those hours and them being commensurate with his poor-health outcome.

Until very recently, I routinely worked 100 hour weeks and would spend literally two days in a row at my office, not going home and touching a bed, but working continuously.

Yes...with hindsight, I know this to be very stupid, causative of my problems (to an extent) and will never live this way again.

Agreed, esp. Lipitor...I will consume only until my lipid profile improves.

Read this book. I bought it, but here it is for you in downloadable fashion. Also, if possible take the time to get an EBT Scan. It will show blockage and it is non invasive. Both the book and the info in it can quite possibly save  your life.

Exercise does not prevent blockage!! Steroids have little if anything to do with it also. It's all diet and or lack of nutrients.

Thanks...I will do this.

What is the 'EBT Scan'?

Like electro diagnostic procedure? Already had dopplers, contrast scans, etc., but need more tests.

My lot was cast via family history...good diet and exercise (albeit sullied from about 8 years early steroid use) did little to prevent a total colesterol of about 300.

Probably, but roids do raise blood pressure and raise bad cholesterol. This could certainly contribute to a heart of Glass. I wouldn't go as far as to say that roids would be the cause. They could be a factor though.

Go here. http://www.prevahealth.com/ It will give you all the info that you need. Unfortunatley there are not that many machines in the US but you can do a search. It is totally non invasive. Of course, you may have more going on than just blockage so if it were me I would also want to get the other tests too.

Yeah family history BUT!!! I am not such a big fan of that theory. Your body needs certain nutrients to replicate organs such as for example your arteries.

I heard about it, but it was mild. I saw him last Satuday at the American Gladiator tryouts at Gold's Venice, and he was there, talking, training and having a good time. Looked fine to me.

How'd you do at the tryouts Ron? Are you in

Cholesterol meds like Lipitor wreak havok on joints not to mention the muscular pain associated with it.  Controls one problem while creating another.

Glass was born November 18, 1950.

They are also starting to worry that statins could 'turn on' certain cancer genes

Yes.

Glass was born November 18, 1950.

Then I wonder who writes Charles' column for MD?  In the issue where Don Youngblood's death was written about in numerous columns (John Romano's, Chad's, Charles'), Charles stated that he was one year younger than Don (born in 1954).  In the same article, Charles stated that the last time he remembered seeing Youngblood compete was at the 2003 Mr. Olympia which was false.

That`s why Joe Roark writes for Flex!

Joe, any references for that?

Surely it can't stress related, can it? Mr. Glass looks like he ALWAYS be blazing.

The docs love to throw in the old 'stress' diagnosis. Controlling it is another matter
