agreed, this seems to happen to bodybuiders at times. although a lot of people dispell the myth that AAS effect your heart

Keep in mind that he didn't just do AAS. One thing people always leave out yet is famous for enlarging organs and screwing peoples health up is HGH! It has it's benefits in tiny dosages but the pro's don't use small doses.

**bitta** · 12-20-2004, 10:05 AM

i was thinking of arnold, pre-HGH

**bitta** · 12-20-2004, 10:06 AM

of course it's juice related i mean were talking about that pros this guys don't give a **** about there health they keep on juicing until somethig like that happens and WHEN IT HAPPENS THEY BLAME ON SOMETHING STUPID LIKE OOOH IT WAS A CONGENITAL PROBLEM JUST LIKE FLEX AND ARNOLD DID NOT TO MENTION THE OTHERS. I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST THE PROS BUT WHAT MOST OF THEM DO IS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE FUTURE PROS OR THE "WANNABE" PROS THEY SHOULD START TELLING A PART OF TRUTH OF WHICH ARE THE INS AND OUTS OF PRO BODYBUILDING

they say it's due to a congenital problem YES BUT they admit it was getting worse because of steroids

**Bound for Muscle** · 01-20-2005, 07:29 PM

how do you know that it is juice related?

we're talking about blocking of arteries, not an enlarged heart or anything like that

it is possible to have a triple bypass at 39, many people have died at much younger ages from heart attacks. my uncle, who played high school football and was going through police academy at the age of 28 suffered from shortness of breath and went to the hospital -- the result? some of his arteries were severely clogged and he recieved an angioplasty

this man is not, and has never been overweight in his life. his diet has not been the best, but i'm sure it's nothing worse than what alot of americans eat. genetics play a huge role in heart related problems, and my family has some poor genetics

**hardgainer1** · 01-24-2005, 10:55 AM

Don't you think I may have something to do with diet too? Body Builders eat a ton more than most people and off season I dont beleive its all clean.

**MrMondodondo** · 01-24-2005, 11:06 AM

Most heart problems that involve a by-pass are congenital. Do steroids hurt even more???? The fact is we are not totally sure. At mega dosages we know the effects are dangerous on the body. What people often forget is gaining the weight and eating massive amounts of food and then losing 30 40 lbs in 12 weeks is one of the MOST unhealthy things in all of sports. This bulking and dieting is extremely hard on the heart.
