Mr.Olympia's healthy lineup???
« on: August 30, 2006, 09:22:00 AM »
According to a cardiologist that treats athletes (specially MLB and NFL players )I did an interview with this morning in Boston MA he told me that 50 % of the pro bodybuilder's in Mr.O level are suffering from heart condition (irregular heartbeat) due to the tickness of the blood from anabolic hormones) that doesn't mean they're  going to drop dead on stage this year but they have been treated for such condition.....despite  they say they're  healthy.

I'm sadly surprised,  i think that is way too hight average
just wanted to share this info.........

Its a trade off that athletes in any profession face.  Football, basketball, bb, etc. all have risks but the trick is to be smart about what the body can handle and don't go beyond that just to win.

PS:  I know alot of get biggers say bb isn't a sport so I went to Webster's Dictionary online to get a definition to clarify the matter.

Main Entry: ath·lete 
Pronunciation: 'ath-"lEt, ÷'a-th&-"lEt
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin athleta, from Greek athlEtEs, from athlein to contend for a prize, from athlon prize, contest
: a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina

now we just need to get them to accept jerking off as an exercise, then anyone can be an athlete.

This just means that every person that belongs to weight trains or does aerobics is an athelte.  BB is NOT a sport and this post you made doesn't prove otherwise.  But good try.

Nothing more than an educated guess, as the Doc would've had to test 100% of the Bbers to arrive at that number...I'd be curious to know what the NFL rate is, etc....

By your childlike reasoning it would also be true that anyone who plays football could be considered an athlete.

Perhaps some clarification is needed here - an athlete is someone who performs to a high standard in their sport for instance.

But what would qualify as a "high standard"?

Actually, the concept of polling is that you take a sample of the population, study their results, then use that data to arrive at a number which you can prove to be correct within a certain % using statistical tools.

Bob, you know about the bell curve and standard deviation, don't you?

That's not pro, using both hands like I do is.

"Competitive bodybuilding" = competition
Training and posing = physical exertion b/c both are quite stenuous especially on a reduced calorie diet

let's just hope that the eggwhite people aren't putting you in charge of any money over there.  

If you don't understand how a simple population sample can be used to reach something more than "an educated guess", I sure wouldn't want you in charge of marketing efforts or resource allocation.

Every sport has its risks. I think the most injury related sport per person is basketball, followed by football, if I cam correct.

True...every sport does have risks....but first of all.....this isn't a sport.

I guess it would be better said....

"Every drug abuser has a risk of prematurely ending their lives or shorting them."

Football players exercise their heart with allot of cardio everyday.  BB's lift weights and take mega doses of roids.  Sure there are probably some problems in the NFL but not near as many as BB as a whole.
