    check out this guy.......heart attack......bet it was steroid related

    Undoubtedly. The idiots who inject so many anabolics and growth hormones that they buy them by the quart have an average life expectancy of around 43 years. In almost every instance their cardiovascular systems blow up one way or another...heart attack, embolism, stroke, you name it.

    In the last year: Rich Pana (46), Daniel Broadhurst (32), Marco Luis (46), Douglas Fruchey (36), Giuliano Pirone (33), Christian Figueiredo (29), Kevin Gebhart (31), Alfredo Martin (28). And don't forget the '80s icon, Mike Mentzer (49).

    It's senseless, but it's a psychological addiction, not a physical one. How guys in the U.S. are able to get their hands on so much "juice" is a mystery to me: all of it is prescription-only. My guess is that nowadays a fair amount of it--like meth labs--is homegrown, has no purity standards, and is had via black-market networking.

    What about Richard Simmons? At 76, he wasn’t that old when he passed. He was a fitness guru, health nut and his physical activity didn’t involve getting banged around or using steroids. I just wonder if the fitness thing does more harm than good. Wears out the body

    I picture our body as a set of new tires, the more we use it the more tread wears off. Back in the day when I and many others got caught up in the running craze, it was pretty cool. An entire industry sprang from that craze and remains today. All the outfits and shoes. Then the guy who helped start it all died from a heart attack while running, Jim Fixx.

    They take the quick and easy path with steroids. They pay for it with a much-shortened lifespan.

    Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's 77 and still exercises six days a week. He put in the time and effort to bulk up, and it shows!
    Arnold juiced; he admitted to it.

    The difference was the amount- these guys dropping dead so young do insane amounts.

    As a guy who used to water ski in the 1970s with rope in one hand and a beer in the other (it's easy with good upper body strength and young), I couldn't even walk to a boat now. Well maybe walk to it but not climb in. My emphasis nowadays with my heart issues and limitations is doing what my chiro says to do with this phrase I may have shared before - "motion is lotion". Meaning keeping the joints lubricated by moving best you can each day. I shared that phrase with my primary doc who sees lots of old folks and he liked it and will share with them.

    Some more on James Earl Jones - I just learned tonight that not only was he an avid firearms collector, he was an outspoken supporter of the Second Amendment.

    And he thought more of his reading of the Bible for an audio-book, than he did of his roles acting.
