Ultimate Warrior died from cardiovascular disease.

[Straw Man]

Of course it's Warrior. Knew it all along.

Seems like only Joe "sees" Chris Duffy

Based on how red his face was this is no shocker, however, you would think he was being seen by a Dr at his age (and past career).

PHOENIX (AP) -- Authorities in Phoenix say former pro wrestler The Ultimate Warrior died of cardiovascular disease.
Maricopa County spokeswoman Cari Gerchick says that's the finding from an autopsy conducted Thursday by the county Medical Examiner's Office.
The 54-year-old wrestler's given name was James Hellwig. He collapsed April 8 while walking with his wife to their car at a Scottsdale hotel and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Scottsdale police have said there were no signs of foul play.

Given the anecdotal evidence we have now regarding Testosterone and HRT, I'm wondering whether it's a good idea. 

Carrying around extra muscle mass usually leads to an enlarged heart.  Even if you keep cardio-fit, I wonder if it's only delaying the inevitable premature death from cardiovascular disease.

There's only two ways to look at this.  Live it up and realize you may be cutting twenty years off your lifespan if you stay on HRT or remain natural and stick to supplements.

Dying at fifty due to AAS and drug abuse isn't the way to go out.........not collapsing in front of your wife walking out of a hotel in Scottsdale.

interesting....does insurance usually cover this kind of testing? or whats the costs?

It doesnt usually costs me about $350 out of pocket, steroid users usually register a score years before they would if they hadnt used, the effect of steroids on the natural levels of cholesterol seem to accelerate hardening of the arteries in saying that most cardiologists still believe family history is a huge factor.

Testosterone replacement law suits are flying now because a study has shown they increase the risk of heart attacks.  They are unsure of the mechanism but some speculate it thickens the blood. If this is true imagine the increased risk taking recreational bodybuilding amounts especially if you are in your 40's or 50's?


hemochromatosis is a side effect of TRT, no doubt it thickens your blood, if you insist on using it it needs to be combined with venesection or donation of blood at least a few times per year, again some people are genetically pre dispositioned towards things more than others, similar could be said to people who have prostate issues in their gene pool. I have been a user in the past but have changed my mind based on forming my own point of view on both pro and against information and my own set of personal circumstances, which is what I would encourage anyone to do, but using blindly shouldnt been an excuse anymore the science is there to assist you with whatever you choose to do,
