It's not the steroids. It's exhaustion. As a bodybuilder, you learn to KEEP GOING especially when you CAN'T. It's the only way to develop the kind of physique that pros show.

But at some point, for some people, the body (the HEART really) can't take anymore. The mistake many bodybuilders do is TRAIN HARDER when the answer would be for them to quit entirely.

Poliquiin died from this. Probably Duchaine as well. Ajdos (Internet name) too. And others.

I think it important to distinguish heart attack from ventricular tachycardia. Some research points to PED’s causing heart malfunction. I am former Highland games world champion and at 56 I thought I was having heart attack, when in fact it was ventricular tachycardia. When I arrived at hospital my heart rate was @ 300 bpm. The head cardiologist said only thing save me was type of training which included a lot of Olympic lifting and motions that required explosivity. This made my heart wall thicker than most which allowed me to survive such a horrible ordeal. Turns out I had Wolf Parkinson’s White disease which was congenital. After 3 surgery I was able to compete and continue my regimen. This is why very important for you to take heart tests for early detection. Most bodybuilders do lifts that are anaerobic and could very well be susesptable to tachycardia. When it happens to regular heart it is instant death. No warnings. Nothing. Is very important to take know how your heart is doing.

Great video Nick. And yes, it had to be made , thank you. As much as I respect his experience and knowledge, I don’t understand why other bodybuilders with you tube channels like Ric Drasin are in such denial that steroids play a role in these untimely deaths. Very sad. Thanks for your videos. And for keeping it real!

and Dallas McCarver passed away shortly after this video was made… He was 26 years old, probably the youngest IFBB pro to date. Sad. Rip Dallas

They don't push their bodies to the absolute limit. They push their bodies beyond their limit. That's why they die of heart attack before they turn 50.

First you said art died at 37, then say 47… so which is it lol. So most these guys that died only died because they using steroids and getting big at an older age.

Body builders look horrible. I think 90% of men and women with a good brain, would never want to look like that and are not attracted to that physique type. 😎🎉
