All of these deaths make me think I have made the right decision that I’m dropping weight/gear and getting my CV fitness in order.
Not preaching by any means but I think the BBing industry needs to stop sugar coating the detrimental impacts of the size gains and PED use (in some cases abuse). Apparently some BBing guys were saying Rhoden died due to the vax. He supposedly wasn’t even vaxed. It seems that these individuals just look for any means to justify their behaviours.
Build the size you want whilst young, enjoy it and then downsize/get fit/trt and enjoy living longer. It isn’t worth dying early to have an unnatural amount of muscle IMO.
I still can’t fathom why so many are popping their clogs now and not 5-10years ago, or maybe they were and I just didn’t read about it. Or maybe it is a generation thing where many of the generation currently dying followed similar protocols and the consequences have only now caught up with a vengeance?
I don’t know.
Personally, I think the impact of social media has been huge
I'm not for 1 second suggesting its not the drugs
What I'm saying is that on top of what these people are doing, the extra stress that social media causes can tip people over the edge
I dont think its a coincidence that these incidents have happened more over the last 10 years, since the birth of IG, FB etc
Once you put yourself out there, there's literally nowhere to hide
The constant need to look good 24/7, sponsors, constant criticism, these people earn a living off the back of this so if it fails your livelihood has gone
Does this mean people are taking more? Probably
Apparently Rhoden didn't use crazy amounts, this was his 3rd heart attack in the last 2 years since his charges
