These folks do stuff the human body was never intended to do while using synthetics to obtain that ability and then folks are surprised when their body conks out. Play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Good friends son got into the “iron man” stuff a few years ago. Lifted massive weights. I told him “James you are going to pay for this-your body won’t be able to hold up”. Now at 40 he has major back issues and last month he tore a tendon in his leg….
The only performance enhancer I use is caffeine. The article did not mention steroids, but everybody assumes. Anabolic steroids do grow muscles. Your heart is a muscle too. It's sad that ego can cause such tragedy.
Chinese steroids, what could go wrong. Co worker was heavily into the body building scene decades ago, healthy as a horse. Heart problems caught up with him too. Just like smoking, the health problems aren’t coincidental.
I hear about a sad case like this and ask myself "What if you had died at 30?". Good Lord. I knew nothing by then. Now that I am twice 30, I am so grateful that I was granted the opportunity to learn so much....
I understand the concern about steroids and heart health. I've personally used products from balkanpharm, focusing on proper dosing and monitoring to minimize risks.
They do offer a range of genuine anabolic steroids, but consulting with a healthcare professional is crucial before starting anything. It's important to weigh the benefits against potential health impacts.
Alternative options, like suggested tea and chocolate, can also support fitness goals naturally.
Mrs Greener is my performance enhancer. With a simple wordless look, I get "get out of that chair and go do something". Very effective and I am sure enhancing my longevity.
I used to move all sorts of heavy weight, but I used the appropriate tools and equipment to do so. Those cranes and lifts were fantastic for such and I never had a workman's comp claim in my crew.
Once we accept that professional athletes are only there for public amusement (Gladiators) and should be otherwise shunned in society, then I dont care what they do to mutilate themselves.
I have zero interest in professional sports and am amazed at the numbers of silly fans, worse still the families that push there kids into the games. How man colleges are no longer learning institutions but just minor league training camps...
