Anthony D'Arezzo - RIP

[Hugo Chavez]

It cracks me up how these bodybuilders think they're better than everyone else because they look good in a thong. Those "fat asses" you look down upon are more concerned with important things like school, their families, and their jobs. They're the scientists, doctors, teachers, and political leaders who keep society running. You asshole bodybuilders wouldn't have any food to eat if some fat farmer in Nebraska didn't bust his ass under the hot sun. Show some respect for the rest of society, you fucking meathead.

I mean really... How the fuck do you go from my post to this???  What... In.... The... Hell.... Really man

[johnnytosh]

What does that mean ?

[Hugo Chavez]

What does that mean ?

It's a metaphor for the people who were making excuses for his death...  I know, nobody was making excuses so I'm not getting the metaphor either... Usually someone would have mentioned they were having kidney problems due to Advil and BS would soon be called by many as in Tom Prince's case.  But Goatboy says it's a metaphor for the excuses nobody was making...  LOL... Whatever I guess...

Bro, this isn't the time nor place but, you said steroids are used to supress the immune system. That is incorrect and you said nothing of the other drugs that you just mentioned in your previous post.

He supposedly had a heart condition. Now, if anyone here really knows anything about bodybuilding then they know what some guys do the night before a show. Not saying that Anthony did!!!! Do you think that steroids just happened to kill him the night before a show?? Come on man, let's be realistic. It's highly doubtful. The only time that bodybuilding dangers increase several fold is the days leading up to the contest.

His dying sucks, period.

Someone asked about cancer and steroids, I answered. That being said, it's neither normal or typical for guys to pass away at such an early age. I say inject to your heart's cotent but be honest with yourself about the risks. Fat people don't pretend McDonalds is healthy.

ASSHOLE......

[Eric2]

To me I will never understand the need for using steriods or other proven harmful toxins in order to be big.
  I have seen several guys(myself included) who could get pretty damn big and vascular without them. I can also attest that when doing so naturally that the size lasts, vrs the drug. I myself have not lifted seriously in over a year and, I still have a lot of natural muscle mass @ #230.
   My point is not to go on about myself yet try to explain that it is possible albiet genetics in my blood line are good.
   I wonder if this guy tried the natural way and made any real gains before some asshole told him he neededthe gear to get and stay big.
   I do not care for dreams of being a champion if one dies or suffers serious health conditions thereafter and has a sub-par or non-existant life afterwards. No dream is worth the cost of one's life.
   So many times I have heard the argument that "hey this guy died doing what he loved"
   What a crock of shit that is. If this guy was properly instructed and trained he could have had the same size and condition without the use of riods(up to  point)
   This man's untimely death is a sad result in the ignorance or one's passion for a sport over real life

The Advil joke come from Tom Prince's kidney failure, apparently blaming a portion of it on the OTC medication.

Look,
the guy knew the risks and made the decision to take whatever drugs he took to look the way he did.  If he had a family history, for all we know, his father died of a heart attack at age 50 WITHOUT taking any "supplements." 
As adults, we make our own decisions and weigh the risks associated with them (hopefully).  I am almost 39 yr. old, have been lifting for over 20 years, weigh 270, and once in a while dabble in hormone replacement therapy (that's what you call it at my age ).  Do I think it would help my life expectancy if I dropped 50lbs??  Of course, but both my Grandfathers lived into their 90's, and I am willing to roll the dice. 
I feel bad for the guy's family, but there are worse ways to go than dropping dead from a massive heart attack.  Cancer is what freaks me...

When it happens again, there will be another thread with the same responses.

And when it happens again, there will be... You get the point.

Why isn't this a sticky?  Where are the active mods when we need them?

[buffbodz]

I just talked to Steve Reeves, the one who was on the boards last week and is one of Anthony's best friends and it's true.  Anthony died yesterday.  RIP.

Let's just leave it at that then bro. One thing though, I think it is pretty typical nowadays for a lot of young people to have heart attacks. Two of my friends 38 and 40 had them although they are fine now, never touched a roid. The crap that people eat today is just catching up to them sooner. It's all too typical for someone to eat out a couple of times a day.

JESUS CHRIST YOU FUCKTARDBITCHES WHO REAMED ME FOR MAKING MY POST BUT THIS IS NOT WORTH ONE SINGLE MENTION.  Oh there is such a huge difference in what this guy said and what I said

learn what?  Not to live life doing what you love? Some people live their whole lives wishing they had done this or that.  He died doing what he wanted to be doing.  More of a victory than a tragedy.  It's sad to see anyone go that early but. the tragedy are those who go through life wishing they had.  The tragedy are all those fat ass mcdonalds eating nightly beer drinking clowns that die from a heart attack in their 40's leaving 3 kids and a wife wondering wtf they're going to do now. 

[BayGBM]

The rhetoric here is starting to remind me of the gay muscle escort board I used to be on

Lots of RIPs and “condolences to his family” but major denial about how his lifestyle choices contributed to his death. 

[Pazuzu]

To say that a person can achieve the SAME EXACT results naturally  as he could with tons of steroids and GH is ignorant and just not true at all.

The look that you see in the magazines today is simply not possible without steroids, so to insinuate that steroid users should have just been more patient is ludicrous.

Then why don`t you point that out when you write articles in the magazines???

Only one person so far was able to state the obvious regarding Anthony's death:

http://www.musclemayhem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40320

"..why push the bondaries with a heart condition?.. if i was told that i had a heart conditioni would not be depleting myself ect to enter a show.. too sad.. his family has my sympathy in this trying time.."

This is not the time or the place you say?

Actually this is exactly the time and the place.

Just how long would you have wanted to live if you were that guy?  Serious question.

I would have off-ed myself about 12 years ago if I was him.

Thank you.  Let's just be happy for him that it didn't take 15.  I mean, really.   

[sarcasm]

that dude had a crazy looking head and jawline, condolences to his family, it has to be tough to lose someone at that age, what do you guys think was up with the cranial features?

[davidpaul]
