I have heard some not so wonderful things about him, but I met him a few times and he was always very polite and professional.  I ate with him one time at the Olympia, and it was a good experience.

Sad to hear.

Would not be surprised if he suffered from sleep apnea either.  Sad news I always liked him.

Weight is weight.  Fat or muscle the heart still needs to pump the blood to support the weight.


thats true but see people like adonis (meat eaters) still have more heme -iron pumping through there system from all the meat they eat, and this is definitly not a good thing

I know that we all like to fuck around and say shit about each other about certain things and joke around, but RIP to Nasser. He seemed like one of the few pro's who actually enjoyed talking to and hanging out with his fans and didn't think he was too good for them. His bb.com interviews were awesome. I also offer my condolences to his family and friends as well (Alex, bigbobs, sherief, big ach, etc)..

Muscle is worse then fat in this regard. When I was a fat 200lbs I could still run several miles at a decent 8-9 minute pace without problem. Now at 195lbs, 12-13% bf and even running one mile is a giant bitch.

Never met nasser but what i heard about him was mostly negative. basically being an arrogant bastard thinking he was smarter than other people, pretending to be someone's friend while making fun behind their backs etc etc. Typical pro bber material

Death does not change any of that

In any case it is ridiculous to be nice to someone because they died since that's exactly when it doesn't matter 
If you want to be nice to someone do it while they are alive instead of shedding crocodile tears

Yeah but he was also a getbigger.

No, it matters to be nice. Nasser El-Sonbaty has reached the end of the line. He is six feet under ground. At one time he was one of the best in the world. Out of billions of bodies in the world he had one of the most developed. Now everything is taken away, he is equal to everyone who has ever died.

Death is a terrible thing.

Courtesy is all we have left. It's about coping. That's why people are nice at funerals.

I'm not here to change your mindset but to make a statement. Anybody can say anything about someone. Who are they to judge anyone? Two wrongs dont make a right. Besides, you dont kick somebody when they're down. When someone is finally at peace when they're dead, a bit of empathy says a lot about a bigger person.

Just my 2 cents, thats all.

i dont think you read my post to the end

empathy towards a live person is yours to give.
empathy towards a dead person is not possible as empathy by def involves putting yourself in that person's 'shoes'.

if you want to empathize do it towards live beings

This.

Lots of homoerotic Nasser banter, but the dude is gone and is definitely going to be missed.

While i dont disagree with your statement...it's a very clinical and detached opinion.

When someone dies, people are sad and sympathetic towards the person and their loved ones.  It's just what we do....most of us anyway.

people are not nice at funerals. people play nice at funerals

being nice about someone you otherwise despise when they are dead is only relevant when dealing with people that

1- really cared for the deceased
2- you care for

i am sure nasser's relatives dont read GB and i couldn't give two shits about the nasser nuthugers that do - hence there is no point in pretending that nasser was a good guy when we all know he was not

Well, you must have known him personally if you hold such a strong opinion on his character.

Don't say "we", I only knew him from his interviews- and I liked what I read. So it doesn't cost me anything to be courteous to people for whom his loss will be devastating. That's all.

I think i get your point

While it is true that nasser was a POS while alive, now that he is dead he is no longer a POS or anything else for that matter- so we shouldn't hate on him

It is a good argument  ;D

From a close friend of mine who lives in San Diego and is also a friend of Nasser's family:

"He died yesterday in Egypt two days before he was to have a kidney
transplant when his heart gave out.  He always said he'd rather die than
go off steroids.  His funeral will be in Germany.  His mother is devastated".

His funeral was already held in Cairo, Egypt.  Sherief attended it and even helped with the laying of the body.  

I know for a fact that your close friend in San Diego is wrong on the funeral part, so I don't consider the part about failing health to be credible either.  Besides, if he was really "a friend of Nasser's family" he would not be posting online stuff (even indirectly through you) like, "He always said he'd rather die than go off steroids" or tell the world that he had a kidney problem, even if it were true.  Most people keep that stuff confidential even if true.  He was also off steroids for a long time before his death, so he would definitely not say something like that.

Well yea, someone can be an ass at times in real life. Let's face it, no one is perfect. That doesn't mean it's ok to talk shit about the person who passed away though (unless it's a terrorist or murderer)

So Nasser died of a kidney infection? Is this confirmed because I've heard lots of different things on how he has passed.  :-\

RIP Nasser......a great loss for the bodybuilding world indeed.
