You will be suprised to see how much punishment a human body can take.
No I'm not surprised. I see it everyday. I have patients with COPD that continue to smoke like chimneys. I see alcoholics with cirrhosis, varices, and constant GI bleeds that continue to drink. The human body can take a tremendous amount of punishment. Some handle it better than others. I would say most pros are probably much more robust physiologically than your average person. I..e that's the role genetics play when it comes to drugs and putting on muscle. Some respond better than others. But I'd bet my life on it that Ronnie is already on lots of meds, has high blood pressure/heart problems, is diabetic/prediabetic, and will start to suffer renal problems in the near future if not already. The body is very resilient but once you reach a certain point in your life i.e. 50-60's things come front and center rather quickly healthwise. Lots of pros from the 80's have suffered serious health problems from their drug use. And we can all agree that the pros today use a lot more and push their bodies a lot harder.
