His name came up on the Supp board and thought I would dedicate a post so those who knew or had the pleasure of meeting him could speak about him and never forget this guy, was really coool and way too young to pass.

RIP Bro!

Trevor Smith Dead At 33 - The owner of Nuclear Nutrition passed away March 6th, sources say he died due to a brain aneurism.

Trevor Smith first got insipred to start bodybuilding when he saw the movie "Pumping Iron" and by age 33 he stood 6 foot 1 inch and weighed about 412 lbs. And he was also a 4 th degree black belt! Although you might think that he was arrogant and mean. Truth be told, he was actually a very quiet, soft spoken, a bit introverted and a humble person.

He developed the the super high intensity Beyond Failure Training System which he credited for his huge size and founded Nuclear Nutrition in 1999 with the purpose filling the true needs of bodybuilders and athletes.

412 seems doubtful - I find it hard to believe a man of that weight would look this small compared to Ronnie

Trevor would only wear longsleeve shirts too. He was probably 320-340s with 20-25% BF.

It's because of people like this that he he was going through tough times shit talkers. He was in fact over 400 pounds just look at this pic and no he was around 15% bf although his weight did fluctuate.

Gear UZR was a great read as well as his site nuclear nutrition. I was surprise at how fragile he was mentally especially since he was disciplied in the martial arts and wrote so much about training the mind as opposed to the body. RIP.

I thought Trevor was a very genuine individual with a good heart. And people tried to take advantage of that. I would sometimes frequent his board and he was always so generous with his time and knowledge and adhere to a lot of his "Beyond Failure" training principles. He was a very sensitive individual and though I don't have first hand knowledge of this, his "fitness model" wife didn't help and many claim she play a part in his undoing. I think gh15 is right to stay away from women in the industry and cult. Even if they seem normal and down to earth, as time goes on they're nothing but trouble. I believe Trevor Smith to be a good man. A rarity in the business.

PIP Trevor Smith.

Actually, I was always a big Trevor fan. From back in the misc.fitness.weights days.

I always thought he kept arms covered as a way to really keep the anticipaiton for when he finally competed. Instead of being one of those guys that flexed for any camera or gawker, I seen him as the biggest guy in the room, keeping it all a mystery until he competed one day.

The Grim Lifter · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:51:42 PM »

Talked as if he was a pro because he was 412 pounds. Remember 1 interview he did where he was saying how the American Pro's were so much better than the English but basically putting himself at the same level as the best of the best.

Nice enough guy, probably had a big heart but a little delusional. Despite what gh15 says, weighing a shitload and taking heaps of drugs ain't the best for u

Heart attack or brain aneurysm.

not trying to disrespect the man....but 412lbs?...he had to know how unhealthy that was...and the amount of daily intake that has to occur to keep that weight...i am not even talking AAS, and growth...just food alone..

a lot of these guys think that just because they lift, live in the gym, and stay relatively lean that they are healthy....but in the end...it just isn't healthy to ever weigh that much...

It's actually healthier to be at 35-40% bodyfat at 400 pounds than 15% bodyfat.

Is it because at that weight it puts a lot of stress on the heart and lungs (muscle needs more oxygen, etc.). I also read that he used to sweat excessively even while standing still in an air conditioned room ...... crazy

i can EASILY see dieing at a young age a possibility EVEN for a natural bodybuilder who consistently eats ALOT of fatty and sugar foods over the years

and you dont even have to look much fat to be highly clogged up internally

The BFT video was finished and its was completed before he died. However his wife refused to release or sell the video along with selling the remaining inventory of Nuclear Nutrition product which is problably still in that warehouse literally.

Paul Becker outbid me for the domain name when it expired in 2007 and redirected it to his site Truly Huge.

That's about it.
