It's common knowledge that bodybuilders die young. Interesting factoid but beyond that, it does not mean anything.
If you're going to post this much about this topic you should include some research on these things. Articles about bodybuilders dying young have been common since the 1980s. They often drop dead of heart issues under 50 even. They pay a price for their obsession.
It’s no secret that the sport of bodybuilding comes with great risks and great rewards. Bodybuilding at the highest level requires dedication when building a showstopping physique. Athletes use various forms of supplementation, diet, and intense training to present their best look on stage.
These sacrifices can arguably affect the health of a bodybuilder, and sometimes lead to death. In 2021, bodybuilders began passing away at a concerning rate. Last year, former Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden, George Peterson, and Mike Horn all died from heart attacks or heart complications.
Despite the community being on high alert, untimely deaths continued to shake the sport’s foundation. March saw infamous steroid-enthusiast Bostin Loyd die at 29 from an aortic dissection before Arnold Classic winner Cedric McMillan passed away (a cause of death has yet to be made public). Just this week, Doug Brignole died at 63.
Sporting icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger admit that bodybuilding is the most dangerous sport in the world. He believes athletes are taking drugs nowadays that are damaging their health so much that people are dying. However, there’s a list of athletes (Schwarzenegger included) who have prioritized their health and are still thriving in retirement today.

Me too.
I have always said it is a personal choice.
Against mandates.
Yet because I choose to deny Ignorance I constantly get accused of being a paid shill?
It's sad.
Two points.

This is kind of getting old like a piece of bubblegum that has been chewed all day.
I personally agree that no person should be forced to be vaccinated ever. I'm not an anti-vaxxer but I am a person who thinks it's a personal choice.
What chaffs my butt are anti-vaxxers who for some reason hate people who have no problem with vaccines. That is just unexplainable hatred. If you talk someone out of getting vaccinated and they die as result? Is that rational?
Wise people talk to medical professionals for medical advice, not online Internet warriors who could give a crap less about anyone else. Vaccines have saved untold millions and perhaps a billion or more lives in my lifetime. Yes in rare cases a tiny percent of people have bad reactions, but way more people would die without them. That's the gospel truth no matter how people spin it.

Warp speed vaccines?
Oh you’re talking about the vaccines that were tested first.
Kinda like comparing apples to Chevrolets, isn’t it?

No all vaccines including the latest which have saved many, many times the people they have hurt.
Apologies. I am in no way trying to get people to my point of view on anything.

Why do you believe it is your place to force your views on others? I've never told anyone to get a shot. I never would. Why is it someone else's place to make me adopt their beliefs?
Truth is that these covid vaccines have saved a whole lot more lives than the rare side effects have taken. Billions have now had the shots. The scare tactics don't work anymore and I'm not prone to paranoia.

Just a recent article...

These guys are on heavy doses of steroids and then as they get older GHG pretty much their whole adult lives. Brignole started around the age of 15....
Not the point.

When was the last time you saw a pro vaccine thread on here?
I'd say the cast majority of COVID related posts are about the dangers of vaccines not the safety of them.
I think it's also confuse someone questioning a theory or the validity of a claim and being pro Vax.
I myself say that I'm not anti Vax and not particularly pro Vax but I am against people making outrageous claims or promoting falsity.
As far as this thread goes I think it's rather absurd.
A guy makes this claim and a year and a half later he dies and that somehow proves that vaccines are dangerous? Is this a "win" for team anti vaccines?
If he'd said this and died a week later of a known side effect of a vaccine then I'd say it had merit but as it stands it's just silly.

You know denial is sometimes just the best route to keep your marbles together.
Honestly if I took the wax i wouldn't be too sure if I wanted to hear that...
