It is already sad john had a family but I would not be out on a football field if I had recently had a heart attack still though men his age have heart attacks and die who have never lifted weights in their lives we can't just assume it is from bodybuilding

No, but we can surmise that it was from years of takin'  dem dare stayroids.  I really have no idea who he was but I am certain his family will miss him.

I think jared leto is older but looks much younger likely live to 90's

Watching meadows vid he looks like every 50 year old out there except hes definitly sauced up

I know a man who passed at 62 worked full time ate meat never drank or smoked ... Except took up drinking at age 62 n had a blood clot n died , no steroids

So even 60 years is max for meat eaters

Didn't Serge Nubret make it to age 71 or so? He was known for eating 6-9 lbs of meat (especially horse) in his prime.

Leroy Colbert made it to 82. If you've seen his videos, I'm sure you heard of his tales of eating 2 lbs of steak from a Romanian restaurant in his youth.

Nobody else but John (and Dave) could have developed the body they had with their genetic limitations like they did.  If Flex, Melvin, Cedric, and other slack asses worked out half as hard and dedicated as John and Dave did, they would have won the Mr O at least once. Instead they relied on drugs.  Make no mistake I am sure that John and Dave did a shit load of drugs too but they just simply willed themselves in and out of the gym to exceed what their bodies were capable of.

I don't think any of those guys you mentioned failed to win the O because they didn't train hard. It's about nailing that condition. We've seen what Flex could do when he nailed his condition. I would have given him the Sandow in 93. But the judges wanted ro-beast. So Yates got another Sandow.

That's the knock on Cedric McMillan. Ripped to the bone, he can hardly be stopped. But, he doesn't consistently come in shredded. Dennis James and Chad Nicholls claimed that they finally got Mahmoud "Big Ramy" Ellsbiay that Sandow by starving him into shape; whereas his old "Camel Crew" just wanted him big and full.

Do insurance companies offer decent life insurance plans to professional bodybuilding athletes; knowing that these guys are on drugs nearly year round?

no chance most won't support TRT therapy

Seemed like a decent man, well liked by everyone. Except, now that I think of it, PJ Braun (who did write condolences, so maybe they buried it).

Most sad for the kid or was it kids. And the wife.

One of the few really good guys in this cult. Huge loss both to his family, friends, and fans. This is a real shocker.

I met him in Pittsburg in 2014.

Nice guy, but with all his health issues this isn't much of a surprise.

I was very well aware that he had heart issues. It just came as a surprise or rather a shocker. My father was 83 years old and in poor health. We (family) knew the end was near, but when it actually happened it sticks you in the gut. Do you know what I mean?

Yes, lost my Dad last year at 82.

Seemed to have the best videos and least attitude of any fitness related youtube creators. Learned a lot from his videos tbh. 49 is too young for anyone. PIP

Yes, I can relate. Both parents went through hospice care on their way out. You know it's coming but still can't believe it once it happens.
