The untimely passing of an IFBB Pro...

[hoogish_feet]

It looks like he's just done little ab work and ended up with low bodyfat but no ab development.

i'm not really sure of that......i read in M&F how Omar Deckard never trains abs, yet he clearly as well defined abs.....must be from the squats

Training abs doesn't have anything to do with having great abs, genetics and low bodyfat. Obviously you can improve them though. I don't ever train abs and mine look pretty good onstage. You don't have to train abs to have nasty abs.

This is true I have never done them and have really thick and formed 8 blocks under there.

 

[silverbackn]

Gymrat, I am the same way. I have 8 instead of 6. I don't train abs year round and usually don't pre-contest. I am doing them pre-contest this year just to see if they respond or not.

I am sorry for the guy but honestly guys if we sit here and say that theres no way that its highly probably juice and the bodybuilding life style played a role in his death where only kidding ourselves. I think most people on here believe that juice in moderation is ok, however abusing juice like all these pro's can have consequences. Maybe this is just my opinion but dying at 40 is not really worth it to me and besides nobody on earth could pay me enough money to use as much juice as this guy did if I new I would have abs like he does in that pic.

Death always builds upon my past, present, and future thoughts...i always hope it helps strengthen my paths to come, but in the same instant remind me how fragile we all are...
RIP

We do not know why he died, and cannot assume it was the steroids. He could have had a pre-existing condition, perhaps something he was born with, that was independant of his AAS use. To assume it was the steroids would be ignorance.

I red somewhere than it was a massive heart attack that killed him.

 

[nuthnbutfords]

He was not 40. He was 51. Alot of people die in their early fifties due to pre-disposed heart problems that either don't have much control over, or a unhealthy lifestyle was followed. None of these top pros "don't" abuse juice. All of these guys are taking massive amounths that would probably blow all of your minds. Just look @ Munzier's last cycle, you guys think that he was the only one that followed a cycle like that. There is no doubt in my mind that Ronnie Coleman takes 20+ of both slin a gh a day when he uses them. NO DOUBT!! But..Ronnie only competes once a year, and when i saw him @ this years arnold...he was much smaller(so he obvioulsy came off) Guys who compete year round..like dexter...are the guys who are at the most risk. The most important thing when taking these drugs..is coming off. Letting you body return to normal is very..very important.
