Brad Castleberry & Julius Maddox Pose-Off.

[ProudVirgin69]

I’m 38 and hover between 225 - 235lbs at 6’1” bodyfat im not sure but lean enough to have leg seperation and vascularity. I’m not vaccinated I was just going off what doctors told me they said I had thickening of the walls of heart on the mri scan and my rbc was 220 when it should be very low double digit (they told me the range it should be in but I forgot) I also have a clot on the artery at bottom of heart they have been draining me of blood and on strong blood thinners. I didn’t think the 250 test would damage heart either it come as a shock im fit and healthy work very physical job installing patios and driveways and still hand dig a lot of jobs which is great cardio. I’m baffled myself mste but just going off what doctor told me

Very sorry to hear you’re going through all this.  AAS stimulate red blood cell production beyond normal physiological levels, it’s partly why they improve performance: more rbc, more oxygen carrying capacity, etc.  EQ is infamous for it, but any anabolic steroid will stimulate erythropoesis. 

Too much RBC for too long is no good though, as the thickened blood is harder for the heart to pump—likely why your heart muscles are thickened.  Thickened, concentrated blood like is much more prone to clotting so that’s likely why you had the clot in your heart.

Hope the prognosis is good and you make a full recovery, although you may need to go for the “health look” in the future.  Listen to the docs, they’re pretty good at treating acute illnesses like this.  Best of luck

Cheers mate not yet they are hesitant to go in with the wires Yo inspect valves with the clot just below the artery so they giving me thinners first to try dissolve the clot

Henda, if you die, can I get your bodybuilding magazines?

[Henda]

Damn. Sorry to hear, Henda.

At 38, there must be some bad luck involved here.

I think the only thing I have left is a Holter Heart Monitor, which I will go on sometime this year, most likely.

Get well.

Thank you Matt bad luck likely played some part although I hold my hands up to not giving a shit about my health and not actively looking after it like I should. Have a touch of family history my dads mam dropped dead from heart attack while out shopping in her mid 50s and my dads brother had first of several heart attacks at 32 but neither parent had heart issues themselves. Going to make health more of a priority going forward the reality that had my partner not took it upon herself to check up on me then drive over to intervene my 14 year old son would likley have found me dead on the floor I always said I never gave a shit how long I lived but my kids need me many more years still

Thank you mate I’m hoping to at least be able to maintain some of present build obviously no more steroids but they said I’d likley be referred to endocrine doc to be put on legit monitored trt but definitely health will become more of a priority with regards to diet and training

[Henda]

Henda, if you die, can I get your bodybuilding magazines?

Haha I have a small collection of flex magazines running from 99 to 02 still at my mams house I will immediately instruct a family member to pas them along to you when I die mate haha

[Phantom Spunker]

Henda, that sucks, mate. Hoping you make a swift recovery, become a vegan, stop all TRT and uncover the joys of guided meditation. Also wish we could give your dodgy heart to that fat, sweaty, heavy-breathing bag of shit Julius Maddox and get you a top-of-the-range artificial one built by Basile.

Jesus Christ brother...I`m very sorry to hear this and I know you will make a speedy recovery........stay strong as always.

All the best.

[Hulkotron]

He is fat. I would be curious what Hulkotron thinks of his physique, LOL.

And henda. 

He looks like shit

Get well soon Henda!

[Gym-Rat]

Yes, 250 mg of test absolutely "Could" have something to do with it. 250 mg is a cycle, so do that for 10 yrs straight.

Ive read hundreds of bloods (peoples blood work) and some it wont bother, but for many, RBC and Hematocrit can go thru the roof even with real TRT.
Thickens blood, causes clots/blockages, etc. Not everyone responds the same way.

Best of luck to you Henda, you'll bounce back... Stay off Test for a while, recover, get into a bit more cardio (even walking, etc). It can only help.
If feeling like pure shit later, you and your Dr can discuss TRT with close monitoring. (real TRT, even 50 mgs a week, etc) to start...

Cant be too low either, also not good for people.

[bhank]

Strange sound like the stomach bug and dehydration triggered an underlying issue sorry to hear it hope you recover soon but yeah I would go see a legit HRT dr and get monitored I forgot you posted leg pics and yeah you are in great shape sometimes people just have bad luck

[SF1900]

Henda, lay off the fish and chips and pie!

Eat more broccoli.

Very sorry to hear this Henda. Get better soon, we can’t lose you here place will go to shit haha. Anyways take a break from everything and just try to relax as hard as that sounds just be positive and do as they tell you. Wish you well my getbig bro.

[Rascal full]

Haha his chest is like thst not because of the muscle but because he has those big obese cunt tits that carry on under the armpits and onto the back.

I’ll save my nastier comments on him just for now though mate really need the good karma right now as in an ironic twist considering my disgust for fat people I had a heart attack Tuesday night and still in hospital now

Oh no mate! So sorry to hear this, wishing for a super quick recovery.

Best of luck. At some point the quest for health over anything else takes over for most of us and you are there now. It will be an interesting journey. I hope the damage was minimal.

[keanu]

Notice that Julius' chest looks like complete shit. That's why I laugh my ass off when people suggest some special training technique would make the difference.

As far as muscle building, Julius' chest would look 100X better if he dropped the weights to 275-315 and did slow controlled reps, shorter set rest intervals, high volume and just chased the pump. 800 RAW is beyond insane. Going for pure strength and low rep, he looks like an Olympic superheavyweight lifter (fatass). He's the best in the world, I get it. Hard to give something up when you are the best, but he will die very young at this shape and size. Black guys tend to develop heart problems easier from my observation.

[Henda]

Thank you for all the well wishes guys. love this place and you guys

[Hulkotron]

fat stinking c*nts will run unchecked around here during Henda’s recovery.

Haha I’m going to be even worse about them when better mate as yes I do acknowledge the role steroids have played but still every dirty disgusting fat useless stinking sack of shit cunt is more worthy of being here having this shit than me. I seen a fat dirty bastard waddle in to visit another patient the other day he was easily 400lbs and thought it’s that big obese cunt that should be the one in here getting visited not other way round

there was a big fat twat in hospital when I was in, he was hiding his morphine in his drawer
He was calling one of the nurses who wouldnt let him eat half a loaf his friend brought in with his meal.

When the consultant came I told him he was hiding his morphine in the draw, they confiscated it all and then watched him take his meds after that

Fucking slob

It makes no sense at all how such obese people walk around with no issues.

Haha half a loaf with his bait what a fat greedy cunt I remember A bairn given a slice to mop the plate with so don’t winge we hungry later in but who the fuck eats half a loaf haha

I can only imagine he was stealing the morphine to sell? Twats like that they should be allowed to kick out hospital no mattter how sick they are and refuse further treatment
