Title: Jean-Pierre Fux - In the long run, the squat accident saved his life
Post by: el numero uno on August 17, 2014, 10:52:22 AM
Another mass monster from the 90s. He had to retire from bbing after he blew up his kness on that squat accident  :-X but if he had continued he would probably be dead, or very sick.

40 seems to be the tipping point for the mass monsters. If they're not slimming down and backing off on the drugs by then, they seem to be either busted out or dead a few years after that.

I remember Jean-Pierre from when he actually won the Worlds and thinking about how the guy was going to take over the sport.

Then one year, out of the blue, he started mega-dosing and his midsection literally exploded to the point that people started saying that there was no going back from that.

Had he taken it easy and gradually worked his way to the mass monsters he probably would've won something.

In the early 90's they started to really look cartoonish, bloated, and pregnant. It seems to be those guys who are dropping like flies all the sudden. Aside from them obviously jumping into slin, Gh, IGF, and who knows what in the past 20 years or so, I wonder how much of a role SEO is playing in their deaths?

Its pushing beyond your genetic limitations that fucks you up.
Look at the guys who stayed at a limited bodyweight from when they turned pro
All seem relatively healthy

Well, doesn't just a limited, modest cycle of test, deca, etc push you beyond genetic limits also once you've peaked physically?

It seems like it's either got to be the excess dosages of the old drugs, the adding in of the new drugs (no doubt at huge doses as well), or all of the above in some combination.

Your body can only handle one vice at best....compounding them will lead to an early death

Most importantly he's not trying to walk around looking pro size or anything , that has a lot to do with it

Vince Taylor is pushing 60. He seems to be fine. Dennis James is almost 50, as is Tony Freeman. They seem to be alive and well. And let's not forget Big Louie. He was at his biggest in his 40s, 315 lbs ripped.

Robby Robinson wasn't exactly a shrimp, when he was Masters Mr. Olympia. He looked awesome at 50.

I think the irony will be Ruhl will last to be like 105 and always a monster

Next? Hm.... Hate to say it but it's Ronnie if he tries to stay huge post hip replacement

If he goes down to maybe 220 and lives a normal life for a 5"10" male (even a post BB) he can live a long prosperous life and be a dad  to his 9000 kids

But he's kinda half potato so we'll see

Robby Robinson wasn't exactly a shrimp, when he was Masters Mr. Olympia. He looked awesome at 50.

Vince was big, but he was never huge, huge, and he never really developed the look a lot of the guys get. I'll give you Dennis James, Louie was huge, but he was also a good half a foot taller than the average, he also understood breaks, and got relatively small and lean afterward. Toney sort of is like Louie, he's taller and hasn't been playing the huge game for too long.

It isn't a perfect theory, but it's just what I've seen across all of the strength sports.

You sound like the guy who smokes and uses their 75 year old grand ma who smokes as an example of how the health risk is exaggerated. That's rationalization. There are no real studies involving bodybuilders using bodybuilding drugs that exists. All we have is empirical knowledge. Where there is smoke there is fire.

 Robby is a freak. He claims he competed in a lot of minor contests while living in Florida before he knew what steroids were. When he moved to California he was introduced to steroids and he claims he only used them for a contest then trained natural. Robby competed at between 200 and 210 at 5'8" most of his career. I know for a few contests he was slightly higher.

Steroids are a risk to health. Will all suffer major health complications? No. Right now law suits are flying concerning ultra low dose testosterone replacement. Ultra low dose compared to what bodybuilders take. They found statistically a much greater incident of heart attack and stroke in older men taking HRT. I know some will argue till their blue in the face that these older men had pre existing heart trouble but they can't argue the clear increase in cardio vascular incidents.
