I've been in car racing my entire life.

There is no such thing as a minor crash.

Just depends on how and where you are hit.

Dale was just a normal man, he was not special.

Life is fragile, little things can make a difference in your health.

Like taking the shoulder straps off your harness.

NASCAR is a more controlled event. Look at racing across the entire world, people die all the time in a controlled environment.

It's a dangerous sport.

Quick question TOL.

Do you know a bhanks from around the racing circut? Hes a poster here getting ready for a show, hes kind of a big deal in the NC dirt track scene.

Every single bber has a pre existing condition, it’s NEVER steroids, NEVER

In order to become a competitive bber it’s required that you have a pre existing condition before you precede

I bet all the idiots are blaming the vaccine for his death, it’s not all the shit he took, and prior heart attack and serious health issues a year ago…

The only pro who directly blamed steroids for his own health crisis was Matarazzo. He blamed steroids without hesitation. Matarazzo warned people, like Meadows... and apparently Matarazzo’s warning fell on def ears.

The Warning:

“I'd have to say that everything that led to my heart problem began the minute I started getting serious about competitive bodybuilding. I have so many memories of being alone in a hotel room the week, five days or two days before a contest, and doing unspeakable things to my body — steroids, growth hormones, diuretics — anything and everything that we as bodybuilders do to achieve a certain look.  It has affected my whole life, so to all those guys who are on an eternal quest to get bigger and bigger and who are so vain about their never-say-die attitude, I say, "Change your attitude." Worry about keeping that body of yours as healthy as possible, because it's going to have to last you not just through your next contest or to the end of your bodybuilding contract, but for a long time. And a long time for a human being is nothing. It goes by real quick, even quicker when your health is gone and you have nothing to stand on.”  - Mike Matarazzo

Never heard of her.

Dirt track racing requires zero skill.

It's a hobby among rednecks and hillbillies.

The other one I can think of also was Mike Morris. Not sure if Tom prince came around later on admitting steroids was the main factor later on, but I do recall him saying Advil when he first got kidney issues

Someone bumped the thread about his original cardiac 'episode' from last year

I'd kinda forgot the comments below

No doubt John has pushed the envelope before, but I think our resident medical experts are forgetting that both of his parents had heart issues - and quite young, in their 30s. So John, juicing in his late 40s... Could have been worse, but I'm sure this will shake him a bit.

John's dad died of a heart attack in his 30's
John's mother had a heart attack in her 30"s
and survived
John made it into his late 40's before having a heart attack and survived
John quit a very well paying job because he was making even more online
John is happily married and has a family
Your posting in your mom's basement eating a bowl of captain crunch and jerking off to free porn because you haven't been laid in over 3 years
John is winning

At first , He was afraid of dying and leaving his kid with no dad.  Now he feels fine and he’s Totally certain Steroids had nothing to do and will resume exactly everything he was doing before heart attack.  His own words.

Where did john say steroids didn't do this  ???

If he didn't step on the gas so hard he'd have probably lasted 15-20 years longer without any heart problems.

I don't think anyone can say any longer that it's not an addiction.

I'm not talking for a racer perspective. That's why I used the ESPN example thing. When the cars get hit 5 times, flips, and explodes, we expect the driver to be toast. Yet, as stated earlier, the guy ends up with a broken arm or something like that.

Welcome to Getbig.

You can leave at anytime.

Take your creepy schmoe vids of unknown BBer's with you.

Your vids have more "crotch" angled shots than anything i've seen in my life.

It's not like you are contributing anything other than self promotion on here.



Really I filmed over 200 of the videos of John Meadows  if you dont like it don't watch I give unknows a name so people like yourself men and woman can actually get their name out therre.

John said he never knew his father and this mother was a really bad drug addict and alcoholic (his words)

The guy lived his life the way he wanted and that's what everyone here does as well

Jeff Cavaliere raised a big amount for meadows. Fair play as he gave a lot of info out for free over the years.

A gofundme account?  Really?  Let me put on my surprise face.  ::)
He was very well off from what I heard, why needed for GoFundMe?

Yet, every steroid-using bodybuilder ain't croaking before he hits 50. Dexter Jackson competed in his last Olympia at 51. Vince Taylor competed in his 50s. Kevin Levrone made a failed comeback in his 50s.

Shouldn't all of them be in the ground, now?

Too many people associate success on stage with volume of anabolic consumption.

The narrative seems to be that, because Meadows didn't do that well (relatively speaking) as a competitive bodybuilder, he's taking more stuff merely to cling to his dream or something to that effect.

Look Herman Cain

You are not following me here

Has nothing to do with dexter, Kevin, etc yet you picked the cream of the crop, anomalies in bbing

I was simply saying when health problems arise, they never blame it on steroids, NEVER

The potential side effects and health problems from steroids is very real

Genetics is everything, the guys you mentioned are also the elite in genes…..
