It'll be genetic, of course...

IMHO NOBODY ... and I mean NOBODY has come close to this yet. This is how it should be for now. I know it wasn't "drug free" but seriously, let's get back to symmetry and health.

BTW, Frank is STILL alive, healthy and happy ~




you're right.. nobody came close... hundreds, if not thousands of bbers worldwide BLEW PAST it.  ::)

and wasn't Zane known as "The Chemist"? sounds like the moniker of a man who was ultra-conservative & not reckless at all with his drug use and didn't try to push the envelope... huh?  ::)

i'll bet you $5k or a bowl of dicks, whichever you prefer, that Zane took everything he could and TRIED his hardest to put on as much size as he could, but didn't have the genes, and instead made it seem like he CHOSE to be the smallest guy onstage (remember Shawn Ray?.... David Dearth?... ect...)

I believe he was called "The Chemist" because he's got a science degree and taught chemistry. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, that is what I have been told.  He has a Master's Degree.  He, unlike the vast majority of what passes for today's bodybuilders, is an intelligent man.

Back on topic.  While it is regrettable that Mr. Van Amsterdam is dead, given what appears to be a poo load of drug useage it is pretty much what anyone with a brain would expect to have happen.  I am sorry for his family.

Amsterdam's passing will not be mentioned on pages of pro-IFBB orientated magz like Flex or Muscle & Fitness  :-\
Can anyone name any other sport with more dead professional competitors since 1980  :P

Very sad to read about his death. And then to see that photo of his wife/girlfriend and son?
Seemed a very friendly guy, great sense of humor. But alas also a very risky "lifestyle". Even though you know many will die young, it still comes as a shock and surprise to hear the tragic news...

Seems for the most part the point or reasoning behind an untimely death was missed.


Yes, R.I.P and sorry for the family.


If you drive a racecar 200 mph down a track, things are going to happen. You choose to live a reckless lifestyle, you will pay. Sadly, these days, it's with your life. Bodybuilders have a tendency to throw caution to the wind. They choose to ignore the warning signs along the way.


It would be nice to see certain "issues" in this "sport" change. How about starting with judging criteria?


BTW, Zane is entirely relevant.


The Doc say's he should have been under medical supervision. Well, that is probably true. So should everyone who posts on this board.


Jay Cutler has lab done at least once a month. Why do you think that is? What do you suppose a doctor does when he finds Jay's liver counts, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels to be far out of normal range? Do you think the doctor just warns him? Or do you think that more pharmaceuticals are added to the stack and that they don't count against him just because they aren't anabolic or androgenic?



I don't give a shit what it is: You will pay tomorrow for what you do today.

eh, pro wrestling?

we all know the risks that come with hormone use, stimulant use, downers to sleep, protein intake 5x the RDA, and most importantly, the effects on the heart from carrying 270+lbs of bodyweight for years straight.

shitty deal he died... esp for his kids and wife.. but he knew what he was doing

A buddy of mine trained here last Saturday. He had a short chat with Ed and saw him lolling all the time.
