I never remembered him being this good. Great physique AND posing. The sort you don't see much of nowadays.

Kawak...


is history.



I was paging through an old bodybuilding encyclopedia earlier today. There were two pages I was looking at, and all of the bodybuilders are dead today. I think it was Paul DeMayo, Sonny Schmidt and Andreas Munzer.


I was thinking: What have I gotten myself into? Back then all I could think about was looking like that.

All the steroids in the world did not kill Paul De Mayo. A drug overdose did.

As for Kawak, he died in 06 (?) long after his competitive days were over.

It may surprise you to learn that people do, indeed, die eventually... yes, even bodybuilders!

He came from and eventually went back to NABBA where he was very successful, IFBB politics

I wonder if 20 years of competitive bodybuilding played a role.  47 is too young.

Check this out:

I was reading an article on MSNBC yesterday about people in their twenty's...the article was actually about the financial state that people in their twenty's are in. It had all kinds of info..including the life expectancy of people in their twenty's: 54   I always read the RIP Joe Sombody treads on here where somebody in their 40s-50's dies of a heart attack and everybody starts in with the....oh steroids...advil strikes again...and shit like that. Seriously If these guys were doing what they love doing and ended up dying mid-forties or whatever so fucking what. Everybody dies, but very few people ever live! If you die doing something you love then more fucking power to you....better than dying in a nursing home after living a life as a fat ass nobody that spends their entire life stressing over their mortgage and hating their fat ass wife (75% of America) Think of you life as a book....your writing the story with everything you do and everything you say. When your book is complete...would anybody want to read it...is your life interesting or exciting...or do you just fall in line and eventually die? My two cents...

He was too heavy in his later years. That may have been more of a factor.
