If you are killing your internal organs with steroids, your internal organs will in turn kill you. Do to others as you would have them do to you, holds true!

Remember her well. She's the reason I chose the name Disgusted and no it wasn't because I was disgusted with her. She was pretty cool and was able to hang with the best on here.

I remember Mariana well also she posted a lot on mayhem and was really cool

Greg Deferro

As for Dave Johns, I was training at Pearls the same time he was there. It was a very sad day at the gym that day.

If you're a very active person it's less likely that you'll end up as a "watcher".

What are they doing to cause early death?

Life on the road over 300 days a year, steroids, cocaine, alcohol, painkillers, excess bodyweight, uppers, downers, poor sleep, fast food. Plus most of them keep it up for years on end. The heart and circulatory system is placed under extreme stress from all this, hence the abundance of heart attacks in late 30's, 40's, 50's.

I wonder if big daddy v nelson frazier ever believed he'd live to old age. Funny enough before i heard of his death a few days before i wondered if he was still around.
Its gotta be nearly impossible to live at that weight let alone make it to old age. When do you ever see sometime in their late 50's/60's that size?
Serious question, how long has big show got left you think?
(Jaws) richard kiel, is the only famous giant i can think of that's made it to old age

Two bodybuilders from my era (1950s) died at an early age: Floyd Page and Vic Nicoletti, who I believe were in their 40s when they died of heart attacks, if I recall correctly. Bill McCardle (not sure of the spelling) was a bodybuilder who I think was in his 30s when he passed away. He was a friend and training partner of Larry Scott and was extolling the use of drugs to get big.

I am sure steroids played a role, but I am willing to bet more than half were major drug addicts when it comes pain killers and recreational drugs

very true unfortunately
