I'm sure many delusional people in the industry would say that these recent deaths are not bodybuilding related

Dude, show some respect. The man died. There are way better pics you can post of him before Palumboism set it.

A lot of posters obviously not dedicated to A) getting 18" arms and B) getting the girls.

What a load of bullshit. You can try to comfort yourself with lies like that, but pills, drinking and weight doesn't really make your heart grow like GH does. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11207626

If you look around, old bodybuilders are all from the era before modern drugs and GH guts..

shut the fuck up asshole, don`t derail the thread, who gives a fuck.

This is a horrible pic of KarVac. His arm looks smaller than the others and it appears to be partially obscured by his 60" waist.

I was fortunate enough to be in my prime during the late 90's and I vividly remember following the bodybuild. Kovacs was a freak for sure. Never could figure out why he didn't go the powerlifting route instead of the bodybuild. Dude pushed some serious weights around. Had he focused entirely on powerlifting, he would have been a champion. He never looked good as a bodybuild. I mean no disrespect it is just a fact, his physique was better suited to powerlifting. There was nothing symmetrical or freakish about his physique, he was one strong guy though.

Induced growth of cardiomyocyctes is irreversible my friend.....as seen in cases of hypertrophy, where the ventricle is forced to increase contractility in order to provide more oxygenated blood due to higher demand.... Follow physics...power = length x tension ... Something is going to have to give ...it was just a matter of time.. The human body can only compensate to a certain futile degree..... All the abusive factors contributed to his accelerated demise... And yes..numerous past bodybuilders of the 70s did indeed undergo bypass surgery of some form- although not the hypertrophic acceleration seen in generation GH coupled w other anabolic enhancements...

D-B, are you saying there's not free lunch in nature?

I am sure the majority of these bodybuilders were given their fair share of warning signs by their own doctors..yet took that risk.... This lifestyle is an obsessive subculture, where many believe that they are the anomaly and won't succumb to human physiology... The more realistic bodybuilders ended their careers when they were warned.... I do not doubt that is why you do not see a comeback a la Shawn ray..even though I know he still has the drive to win it all... But am damn sure he now has a precondition like many who were a part of his era..where continuing competitive bodybuilding will have to shorten his lifespan.... Acceptance is a tough pill to swallow.... Nature stopped giving free lunches as soon as they were told..enough is enough...
