Lots of people can't eat 8 to 10 meals a day, people have to work raise kids and family and take care of them. These guys don't look at real life

I was a bodybuilder in the late 80s. The best decision I ever made was not taking steroids. I managed through hard work to actually build a pretty good body. Nothing like the steroid freaks out there today. More importantly, I’m still alive.

These guys all looked 20 years older than they were. Dallas McCarver, especially, looked 45 and not 26.

" His death shocked the bodybuilding community..." After the first 25 deaths, the bodybuilding community should stop being shocked. Enhanced bodybuilding is dangerous to one's health.

I wouldn't exactly call body building competitions as a 'Sport'. They are more like a 'Pageant.'

Professional wrestling has left many bodies in its wake as well.

So many of them claimed to be NATURAL until they died due to steroids use.

To be fair, any sport is deadly as long as steroid abuse is involved. Casual Natural Bodybuilding is actually statistically among the safest, less injury/death-prone sports.
