RIP: NPC Competitor Joanna Wilson Died In Vegas Prepping for USA!

[oldschoolfan]

OSF, we were all once naive teenagers. I pretty much tried every muscle-tech product out there when I first started to lift. 

ha ha i almost did , but i fell for the e.a.s bs   there body4life challenge i bought there creatine , hmb. i actually beleived you could transform like that in 3 monthes !

would read duschaines articles.  i even bought that body opus book of his.     

even worst now they got kids  spending 200 to 300 a month on supplements its crazy

Not like she was gonna write the next one, yeah?

[rooseveltdunn]

I find it odd that so many people find it perfectly normal to do this to themselves just to appease a fragile ego. She was not even old.

Aside from this death, isn't it interesting that almost no competitors ever speak on the behalf of many who have died in the activity?  Never have I seen/schmoed a show where there is a person who tries to get rid of drugs in the contest.  The organizers of the events, etc., supplement companies must laugh at many in the sport.  Sacrificing their health to line their pockets.
Someone in their prime makes little sense to make a change, but as someone is close to retiring...say Coleman/Cutler, whomever...never comes out about how shot the IFBB is and how extreme drug use is overlooked.
Actually...that wouldn't change anything...oops.

u got a good point there croatch , the only pro i can think of that sort of talked about the fucked up shit they did before a show  was matarazzo but this was well after he retired and had a ton of heart problems.

There is only value in this pageantry at the extreme..

So it's impossible to remove the component that makes the wheels turn and the machine make money.

Steroids are the true fuel of bodybuilding industry.  You can't remove them.

You seriously think you can just pee out all the potassium from the use of contest prep diuretics???  You're a fucking moron if you believe that shit and don't give condolences with one gimmick account and talk shit with your other account  

Why do you always comment on things you know nothing about?

Diuretics like Lasix deplete potassium and potassium is usually supplemented with them. Potassium sparing diuretics like Dyazide can cause a buildup of potassium.
So yes, you can easily deplete your potassium.

You post pics of your 20% bodyfat ass to make some kind of point about diuretics? Seriously?

[Slik]

I competed at shows...why wouldn't I know?  However, I never used any diuretics until my last show at the 2009 NGA Night of Champtions although I used herbal concoction of Dandelion Root and Uva Ursi along with drinking strong black coffee,  rather than that pharmaceutical shit.

To complete at the NPC National level, you have to use the pharms but for regional shows its not needed and you definitely can't use it for natural events.  However, these pictures prove that natural diuretics work fairly well.











BTW, found a old unpublished picture of me practicing my posing routine a few weeks before the event.  I have a few more and I may put them out soon

Levrone said something in an interview with Bob Chic about not drinking water while taking diuretics and only taking some sauce backstage and how he looks back now and it was dangerous. Vic Martinz said on the same show Bodybuilders need to sell drugs to have enough money to compete

We weren't friends....in fact we had a confrontation at a bodybuilding event many years ago while we were standing in line to get in.  She was upset over some comments I said over at Muscle Mayhem.  I told her to piss off and get some Noxema for her acme.  We cleared the air some time later but I steered clear of her anyway.  But def a tragedy

Mr. Oldschoolfan,

What do you think fuels this crazy obsession (bodybuilding)?

In my experience there are several types that get obsessed

People with extremely low self esteem who want meaning and attention (especially with social media.)
People who have addictions. exercise and dieting are their supposed healthy addictions
People with eating disorders who can mask their eating disorders under bodybuilding 

I've rarely met truly confident people that were obsessed with bodybuilding.

Yes, and that's the big danger of diuretics.  Either way it messes with potassium which is essential to all of your cells to live.  Too little or too much potassium and you're fucked.    I do know that athletes should prepare for both scenarios and to have a contest prep coach that has a medical or EMT background rather than your local juiceman hovering around your gym.

Holy Shit !!!
The Vince G Curse is real !!!
First Onlyme (Keith Jones) then Derek Anthony and now this lady (Joanna Wilson)!!!

[Ronnie Rep]

I never had to use diuretics when I competed. The reason being is never used anything that made me hold water. Never over carbed, and dieted strictly right up to the end.

Hardly the case...this happenned well over a decade ago in the era of vikingpower, goatboy, Massive G, Mower, McFarland etc.   I feel really bad for her family and I'm sorry she's passed away.  However, what really upsets me is these bullshit twitter condolences and then afterwards stepping right over her corpse and continuing on with the competition weekend without any fucking retrospect whatsoever.  The industry needs to get the priorities straight and stop this continued push for a physique that is simply not healthy in the short or long run.

If he told her to take something to dry out the skin then yes, maybe so.
