"Killing it" = Killing Yourself.

Really suprising to see so few of these extreme risk takers pass away

The guy was on everybody's 2017 deadpool list with McCarver just ahead or just below. Justin Compton should take notes.

I read on MD that Compton was on the waiting list for a kidney, not sure how much truths in that.

The PMMA in Rich's body can never be removed. Lets say for example someone get's a cc of Bellafill injected into their face to remove a wrinkle. In that cc there is a carrier fluid like bovine collagen and PMMA crystals which are approx. 30 to 50 microns in size. These little beads are not even visible to the naked eye. So what happens is over the course of about 5 weeks your body slowly absorbs the bovine collagen and your body will build up it's own collagen around the PMMA that is left behind. In a way all that "size" that Rich has is his own. The amazing thing is he had to inject an ungodly amount of this stuff in his body. No way he way doing that in the USA. Mexico is the most likely place to go for this but still would take a lot of money and years to get to where he is. As far as removing it this stiff is not like silicone where it is it's own substance. This stuff is there to stay as it's now just a ton of his bodies own collagen and I'm guessing some scar tissue.

Thanks for the info, good post

BB has been going from extreme to super extreme

For someone to stand out and make a living of it, Rich choose to go super extreme. Which he did well, except his choice to add recreational drugs and sleeping pills to his already huge stack of chemical products clearly was a step too far

Will his death change BB?
No

The others will simply think that it won't happen to them
And without 300 lbs fewer people / fans and endorsements

Fuck....what a bad week for the world of bodybuilding. Good in the sense it will hopefully wake a lot of people up and give them plenty of pause for thought.

the idiots who died today did so by their own hand, they were abusing their bodies to the extreme, more so than is acceptable, and all the warning signs were there waaay in advance

absolutely zero sympathy from me for dallas or rich

He died for YOU he died doing what we all love. Oh Allah please take Rich and give him a place in Jannah where he can take part in the paradise bodybuilding contest against the likes of Nasser and Kovacs.

Yeah I know and I take your point but I still find it a shame though in the sense they were both young guys, obviously particularly Dallas. Rich did strike me as quite a nice person, I don't know how true a reading that was but he always seemed upbeat, positive and mostly decent.

Depressing how accurate most people's Death Pool was with these two....talk about a No-Brainer...

Whoa.

I'm reminded of the passing of Luke wood and Art Atwood within 12 days of each other in 2011. Two huge, taller than average bodybuilders who pushed it too far.

Look at how huge Rich was in his side profile in one of Matt C's Ironage interviews with Rich:

Im sure Derek Anthony has a little something special for both of them. Basically these guys are drug addicts and it killed them. Comes back to Lee Preist saying you should only need a little or you dont have the genetics.

Interesting that both Rich and Dallas were in offseason mode.
