Funny how these ingestors of steroids keep dying at 40 years old, despite how many times the steroids creeps get angry and tell me how safe they are. I'm old enough to be that guy's uncle, and I'm about to swallow a handful of raw glandulars and head out to nail my 18 year old Puerto Rican girlfriend. Ta-ta.

Sure, it had nothing to do with the combination of peds and recreational drugs

[Bodybuilder Lex Reeves]

FUCK OFF.

This is very sad. The age of 40 is way too young to pass away.

Tony Breznik introduced me to Ed a few years back when I took this photo and we only talked for about 15 minutes but I left that conversation knowing that Ed was truely a great and friendly person.

God bless Ed and his family!

a physique easy to maintain with 36 whole eggs and tons of liver pills daily

I knew Ed because I trained at his gym for a few years..He truly was one of the friendliest persons you'd ever meet. Saw him the other day after atleast a year and he came up,hugged me and asked how my training was going..A very warm person,down to the core.
He will be missed.

Peace

[honest]

Apparently Ed had prior issues related to his heart and was advised not to continue bodybuilding but his love of the game would not allow him to walk away and it questionably cost him his life.

sorry to see this but upon recollection many of the guys i've seen over the years are dead, mike mentzer, ron teufel, art atwood, nasser el sombaty, ed van amsterdam. just to name a few.

[ukjeff]

[Papper]

Just be sure to have your death posted on here so I can piss on your grave, druggie.

i may have a sick sense of humor but this i lold at

maybe we should go back to the standards of 30 + years ago where you had to have proportion, shape, definition etc.. and they didn't just award sheer size over all else

3 of the top 4 at the 1983 Olympia where < 200 lbs

ok.

you take your own money, or find investors to front the cash.. start your own league/federation/organization and promote your own shows with bber's that nobody wants to pay $50 to see.

and go broke.

professional bodybuilding is about MONEY. hence PROFESSIONAL.

you don't like where it's going? then just keep doing what you're doing and worry about how you look and keep telling yourself you're the ideal and anybody bigger is just a steroid-abusing loser with mental issues.

bodybuilding is about pushing the envelope. changing your body. there is no limit. no high water mark.

"Bodybuilder and gym owner Ed van Amsterdam is deceased. Ed is deceased at the age of 40 of a heart attack. The former agent was known as a professional bodybuilder. Already at the age of seventeen he began the sport in which he was getting better. He also began Ultimate Fitness gym in Amsterdam Molukkenstraat. Due to the death of Ed's Ultimate Fitness closed today"

ed was a big guy. always one of the heaviest, if not THE heaviest at the show.

dude was around 300 at the tom princes last show (ironman) the year they had everybody wear jerseys and weigh in.

that's a lot of weight to carry around. doesn't matter if you're muscular or fat, your heart still has to circulate that blood.

[honest]

Professional bodybuilding about money, there's no money in bodybuilding, nearly every pro except for the top 5 or so would earn most of their income personal training or selling drugs, or could earn more money working some regular job. The pro lifestyle is a temporary leased lifestyle illusion of wealth created by magazines, the sport doesn't set most up for life, it leaves most broke dead or with health issues as they get older. Pro bodybuilding, spending 10 to 20 k on drugs to win $15k before tax at some bodybuilding event and you cant even get your drugs written off as expenses come tax time, pro bodybuilding and the associated expensive drug abuse is  ridiculous, no brainer that there isn't to many graduates up there, you would have to be very limited in your options or completely self obsessed like many are to consider it.
