Remembering PD Devers. RIP.

Derik Farnsworth "With a heavy heart it saddens me to let the bodybuilding community, The Gym San Diego family and friends know PD Devers passed away last night..
If you knew him at all.. his smile and laughter literally filled a room.. I remember being in the gym on other side of gym and could hear his laugh.. you could not help but smile hearing him laugh or just smile at you.. PD, you were one of the first people to be-friend me when i came to San Diego.. You will be deeply missed my friend.."

Shawn Ray - "Rest In Peace Champ! 🙏🏽 Condolences to the Devers Family"

PD Devers in July 2010 at the NPC Los Angeles Championships.






I was at this event, watch PD Devers, although not in the best shape, still coming out and guest posing at the NPC West Coast.    Then, in October of that year, around the 10th, PD has a stroke / heart attack.

Damn, bodybuilders are dropping like flies.

Drugs are bad, mmmmmmkay.

I hope every young kid realizes the dangers of bodybuilding and gets out!!

Just saw this on Rx’s IG. Sad.

Waiting for the Getbig medical experts to chime in before knowing the entire story. Because, after all, they are experts

Wasn’t he going thru some health issues before? RIP, if this is true. Condolences to his sister, Gail Devers.

You don’t have to be a medical expert. Abusing anything is not good for your body.

You often bitch and moan about people not having common sense. Common sense would dictate the abuse of any drug is no good for your body.

Before he began abusing steroids?

Before he began abusing steroids?

After. Like a few years ago.

Oh that’s complete bullshit. If it was found out that died from anything that wasn’t B.B. related the immediate line would be “drugs”.

He had a heart attack and stroke.

Obviously, there is no way to pinpoint one causal factor.

But it’s obvious abusing drugs would have likely contributed to his health issues.

However, until an autopsy rules out drugs, I’m going to lean on the side of caution and say drugs had  at least something to do with it.

Well, until he completes the findings of the autopsy, I won’t draw any conclusions.

 Guys that love bodybuilding drugs who refuse to acknowledge they are a risk to health is just incredulous.  It's pure rationalization. Coach has already had a stroke and a month later he talks of competing again and I assume with the assist of drugs.

I got news for all of you steroid junkies. If you have genetics predispositions to ill health you are exacerbating a bad situation. Denying to reiterate is rationalization. If you have such low self esteem you need drugs to receive praise for being a man you're truly lost.

Cause they are all delusional and have mental issues

Sad R.I.P.

Two things I gathered from that guest posting video.  First, that he was a well mannered and well spoken young man.  Second, the cause of his death.


He obviously died of shame from that "posing" routine.  Not long into said presentation I had to stop as I felt my masculinity being drained as if by the same salt-sucking-beast as on the original Star Trek.  Gaaaaaa!  Gross and weird come to mind.

FFS, that was just plain weird-ass fruitful.  I doubt many homosexual men that prefer the company of MEN would find that "attractive".  That was hideously and heinously disgusting, a definite crime against all that is masculine on this green Earth.


Yup.  He died of pure shame.

RIP, Ruhl still alive and well

I am concerned about 'the coach's' ability to downplay the obvious

You shouldn’t be. Maybe you can show me where you think he on.

[IroNat]

Had heart attack and stroke in 2010.

Continued to take drugs which raise risk factors for heart disease.

Autopsy results indicate subject is permanently dead

Body to be embalmed and entombed in pyramid with pet cats.

[SF1900]

Coach,

if it was revealed that he was a heroin addict, you would immediately say he had a heart attack and stroke because of heroine, then you would go on your long tirade about how the government should ban drugs.

Yet, in your world, steroids, etc, get a free pass and abusing steroids likely has ZERO to do with this guys heart attack or stroke?

Talk about selective thinking.

New vid about Dallas’s death, just insane that this guy was a walking corpse, decomposing from within, all of this could have been avoided

Confirmed it was a heart attack he had while eating, and not choking (which we knew)

BODYBUILDING longterm is a death wish meaning bulking,cutting,ect...over and over year in and out .today guys quit or literally expire few yrs into there competitive career.80/90's bbing was same risks but few factors enabled longer life and stage career,point 1 most bbers from those era's had better quality drug,most stayed smaller or close to top form all year,they actually looked dieted then.point 2 ...the guys today you see them age 20 at 180lbs then 260 2 yrs later that alone is slowly putting heart and kidneys at risk after 2 yrs,plus the dosages and or quality has been exceeded ten fold and duration 'cycles'.dallas/compton type guys get so big and such thats its almost impossible not to have short and long term effects..
