Sad news: Dwayne Quamina, born in 1986 in Trinidad, died today, August 16, 2026. He placed 6th last week at the Atlanta Pro 212...

Most from the "golden era" and before are still alive or at least died in their 80's. Today bodybuilding is a damn near death sentence before 50 and seems that number is getting younger.

Was he saved?

I remember posting about this guy, how he made some incredibly quick progress for a while. I thought he had retired; he used to get totally out of shape between shows and lost drive and was lackadaisical. Coached by Bleu Taylor then.

Sad. It’s almost like bodybuilding is an unhealthy sport full of drug addicts who no longer take breaks from said drugs because of social media. Sprinkle in a clot shot or two and bam PIP by 40. His last video talks about how he felt like death after getting off his flight and went to a medspa for a steroid shot and antibiotics and felt a little better. His breathing was labored during the video. Died the next day. Seemed like a good guy. Sad.

Sounds a bit like Kyle Busch (the beer guy).

Anabolics can be compared with turbocharging a car engine. It's fun, but you won't get nearly the lifespan.

A week is a lifetime.

It’s ironic, but his problem was he actually wasn’t big enough.

More mass= healthier

Modern Bodybuilders are like Mayflys.

Once they reach their peak and desired form, they do whatever it takes to stay relevant on social media, (without any break from drugs) and then die.

Popularity, Attention and Likes is what drives them to death.
