I know we're all mortal but damn seems like the past couple of years we've lost a lot of them

I always wonder if the numbers increased because of increased reporting or the sheer increase in number of competitors compared to old. I mean, were just as many dying before we had all this access and we just never heard of them. Most are not in the US. Also, is the ratio the same. Maybe we just have more competitors now, so the likelihood of it happening is going to increase. Go to look at regional shows. I used to see maybe 40-50 competitors at a regional show. Now I see as many as 200-250.

I wonder if any of them are vaccinated

The mass monsters probably won't make it past 40, just can't push things that far for very long, some of the others may have little to do with BB or PEDs. It would be helpful to others if they listed the cause of death, might keep someone else from going down that road.

Sometimes I wonder if it is not those trying to emulate the mass monsters. I have heard guys in the gym tell me they are on grams of gear and stuff you typically shouldn't stack together. I almost want to laugh, because you can barely tell they are on anything. I want to tell them to give up, because if grams of gear only got you to that point then you have no business in this sport.

Some of the really huge guys from the 90s are gone. Greg Kovacs, Nasser el Sombaty. Both were still abusing when they died and were older. To me, lots of guys seem to be passing. On Pm there always seems to be a few guys going through heart issues. Some of the YouTubers had had problems. That Dutch kid, not huge but, he complained about vaxx side effects and then he was dead. Bostyn Loyd gone, Rich Piana gone, Cali Muscle still ticking but CHD, Mountain Dog gone, Matt Jansen, Shawn Rodan gone, Cedric McMillan. The list is long.

That is where my mind went too. The proverbial straw that broke the camels back.

Here is the thing, myocarditis was not known or reported with the vast majority of minor cases. It still damages the heart. the heart cannot repair, once damage is done, it's done. Then they are stressing their bodies to superhuman levels and doing gear and possibly others.

Also I read that leaner people had more probs with the vax because they had far less fat in the muscle for which the vax would stay in depot like it should. then they worked out, heightened blood flow in dilated cardiovascular system and shuttled around the vax where it allegedly had an affinity for heart muscle and liver? forgive me I cannot recall that part,

Anyway it sure could exacerbate minor probs to major or even start a prob that did not exist.

it is sad, I think the general public would blame steroids. Anything to excess is detrimental. Add a catalyst of bad and you get bad results.
