RIP Doug Brignole

[IroNat]

Should be there.

Got it.  Thanks.

It's under a different title than I was searching.

The guy admitted years ago his calcium score was bad. ie. his arteries were becoming blocked.

His dad died young from heart disease. Couple that with using gear for 40 years and you are always gonna have an issue.

Prepping for a guest pose was a very dumb move and a big stressor also.

Dude…I’ve known the guy since I was 14 training at Pearls. I trained at his gym when he opened it and closed it in Pasadena. I’ve judged with him for the last 5 years in Venice Beach at the Muscle Beach contests. He was lean all year around, conscious about his health, regular blood work and check ups, he knew what he was doing when it came to testing. Unless his Docs missed some kind of underlying ailments the reasonable deduction is the fake vaccine….and that’s most everyone’s SPECULATION until an autopsy is performed, if they even have one. Don’t think for one second this is an isolated incident….this fake shit does nothing but harm and they damn well know it!

The fact that some knew how to look after their health is no guarantee they will live a long time. Doug was surprised a few years ago to learn, after a test, that he had plaque in his arteries. He said he lived a healthy lifestyle and watched his diet so wondered how the plaque appeared? We never found out. Doug and Ric Drasin discussed training for guys older than 50. They both agreed that there was no point to try to duplicate the strength and size one had in the past. Doug even said that preparing for contests is very stressful for the body both through training and from losing fat. Yet there was Doug documenting his serious preparation for a physique display on October 22 this year. He said he was going to enter a natural Mr Universe contest in 2023. It appears Doug doesn't take his own advice. He admitted he was on Testosterone replacement therapy. Imagine the load he put on himself by announcing that he was going to pose at a natural Mr Universe contest. As a guest poser you have to produce the body fit for the occasion. Perhaps he saw that he wasn't able to duplicate what he looked like when he last competed? He made his living from what he looked like and what he knew about training. That also put more motivation on him to get into really impressive condition for this show and show everyone what he could do.

We don't know what his internal health was recently. We know he was vaccinated last year and I think he had a booster as well. Getbiggers, as a group, didn't volunteer to take the experimental jab and are now being proved right. When Doug first started training at Bill Pearl's Gym he didn't always follow what Bill told him to do. That tells us a lot about what Doug felt about his own beliefs and opinions. He claimed he did research the vaccine and was satisfied it was safe and effective. He boldly stated that if he dies then he was wrong about the vaccine being safe. Seems to me it would be very helpful if the cause of death could be determined.

So glad I didn't take the clot shot.

Brignole from his social media posts, indicated he had multiple vax boosters.

In for the penny, in for the pound.

He proved even being a lifetime natty is no protection from the vax,

i watched an interview with him just yesterday where he talked about his surprisingly high calcium score from 5 years ago.

Have you had yours done yet btw?

[jwb]

I have seen cases where people dieting really hard have had deaths caused by parts of their artery plaque breaking off and blocking other blood vessels.

Why did he take the shot? because he had to travel?

[joswift]

wanted to, no one has to travel....

[bhank]

We can put him right under Mike Ohearn on the fake natty Mount Olympia if that makes everyone happy

[Coach is Back!]

Not yet and I should. All my blood work has been good, all kidney numbers within range but yeah, you’re right. Need to get it done. With my kids, grandson and getting older I think about my mortality more

[IroNat]

Judged the odds and made a choice.

[IroNat]

Brignole's book "Million Dollar Muscle" (2012) gives an biography of his life up until age 50 or so.

Quite interesting.  He had numerous personal and financial setbacks during his life.

waist to height ratio and fasting triglycerides are two good basic markers for internal health.

I am 51 and am down to 172lbs with a 32 inch waist versus my old bulked 240lbs. Triglycerides down from over 100 to 60…. Ultrasound now shows no signs of a fatty liver, and fasting blood glucose and glucose response to meals shows very little insulin resistance.

One guy to watch on YouTube is Ted Naiman. He preaches an easy diet to follow.

I read about his biography. No mention of any relationship, marriage or children. He was interested in biomechanics so studied the physics involved and applied what he learned to exercise. When he gave seminars and wrote articles and books he became an expert. Guy lost his gym got depressed then recovered then went to Central America as a partner in a mahogany import business. He was fluent in Spanish so was offered the opportunity. Lasted two years but he ended up in California broke again as the business failed. Somehow he recovered again and each time he got into bodybuilding and entered contests. I guess he had something to prove. Also it was good for his business. Quite the survivor through his life.

Anyone in their 40s or 50s using or has used gear need to get their CT ( calcium score ) scan done, unfortunately for many who have taken cholesterol or lipid altering drugs in their lives its the equaliser, its better to know and manage than not. But getting in shape, and everything that goes with it hardens your arteries as well your overall look unfortunately.

Use amounts so low that your bloodwork is neutral to natural state , this can be achieved on TRT, above that most people bloodwork changes and with that comes long term progression of inherited disease, not short term, basically you can accelerate towards a future event, train eat and cardio for life, leave the stage for the young guys they have youth on their side and time to recover.

Is Bhanky on the right path taking 500mg/week + Anadrol + growth hormone + peach cobbler...all bio-identical?

Its a solid protocol. You never have to worry about PCT if your cycle never ends. If you time your nutritional cocoon just right then I don't see any problem here. Plus he can control his physiology so he's got that going for him too. All in all Id say Bhank is playing it pretty smart.

You can be a little chubby and have no heart disease if your genes are in your favor.

It requires a high personal fat threshold which is god given. Asians and East Indians have very low personal fat thresholds, that is why they can get type two diabetes after gaining only a very small amount of body fat.
Type two diabetes equals heart disease long term in pretty much everyone who gets it and doesn’t change their diet and get leaner asap.

Working out with weights consistently also helps greatly with insulin sensitivity (something you want). Many fat nfl players have pretty good insulin sensitivity at high body weights, but it disappears real quick after they retire and stop training so hard.
