R.I.P. Eric.  I used to visit Denver Colorado all the time for buissness, and I would see Eric Fromm at the gym I trained when I was there all the time. The sad truth is Eric had some bad habits, that he just couldnt kick.The gym owner Harry, was good freinds with Eric, and he tried to help Eric clean up his life.

I just done understand this, you guys get all worked up about guys who obviously play with their health.
But you joke and laugh about somebody like that actor guy who just died by overdosing.
Don't get me wrong here, sure I can imagine that his mother and father girlfriend and friends feel bad about it, but let's not forget that we
all know and that you need to take some serious roids to obtain a physique like that.
Some people get away with it some don't.

They don't know but it wasn't Steroids that's for sure.
