RIP David Young aka MaxRep
« on: July 28, 2022, 12:03:45 PM »
Many of the new posters within the last 5 or so years (maybe longer) didn’t know MaxRep on here. He was moderator for as long as I could remember. I first met Dave in person about the same time I met my wife on here. Had lunch, shared some good bodybuilding stories he was just an all around solid human. A huge animal lovers especially when it came to rescuing cats. Over the years we kept in touch about once a week or so and when I wouldn’t hear from him or see he didn’t post on FB for a while I would check in with him. He battled heart disease and a few years ago had a major bypass. Long story short, I hadn’t seen or heard from him and just found out last night that he had passed in April. Not many knew that he wrote for I believe several bodybuilding publications. This post is from his girlfriend…

“With a sad heart I lost a wonderful man that was my soulmate, David are Young this past Monday, April 18th. David died peacefully in his sleep of a massive heart attack and went to meet his Savior Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:21 states "for me to live is Christ, and today is gain."
David and I shared a mutual respect and admiration for each other that built a trust and love that we cherished. We desired to spend the rest of our days married in the coming months once David moved to North Carolina from California bridging our distance. I was blessed beyond measure to have the special gift of a man in my life even for a brief time that was so kind thoughtful and gracious. David you will always be in my heart and I know that I will see him in glory when the Lord calls me home. I love you David 💕”

Holy shit! That is terrible news. I first saw David at Rochester Institute of Technology where he and I went to undergraduate school. He was fricken huge then- I first saw him in the college weight room and was blown away by his size.


We had talked a few times on Getbig and he asked that I not mention the connection then - but now it doesn't matter. He was featured in a college publication because of his bodybuilding career. He was a class act and it is very sad news of his passing.

Ron may have known and kept it discloed as not long ago I noticed that his name was removed from the top of the forum but I figured he just didn`t have the time or was possibly ill.....not that he posted much in the last few year or so.

What a shame.

He's no longer on the Members list.

He must have been late 60s.

So, they been telling men the exact opposite thing to do, i.e. give blood and not take iron supplementation.

Glad I don't give blood.

David was one of the originals - known him for a long time.  Helped out at Ironman Magazine, and the Fit Expos, and much more.

Rest in Peace, David..

two types of iron

Heme-iron and 'iron'

Never quote 'scify' studies as fact very misleading, but whatever excuse u gotta make to eat a burger

Men have been told to avoid iron supplements for decades and to give blood.

Men's multi-vitamins don't contain iron for that reason.
