Another unfortunate loss in the bodybuilding world

News has come in that the popular diet coach and NPC competitor Matt Porter has passed away this morning.
It's so insane how fast things can happen in life. Just yesterday a new video of him was uploaded on Jay Cutler's Youtube channel and now this...speechless.

R.I.P.

34 is very, very young.

I was watching a video from this doctor about rich piana's death.
47 I think he was. His heart went into fibrillation doctor suggesting maybe he did some coke or speed maybe... If he had a defribulator close by that would have saved him. I guess if you're that size carry a defibrillator in your backpack at all times?!

It's nice to be bigger, but health is critical.
 
Found this ……...crazy !!!!! .....correct doses and moderation mean everything with everything in this world , thats a fact

Add Matt Porter, Rich Piana and Dallas McCarver to that list.

we interviewed him on the podcast 2 years ago. not sure if i can find the link.

and yes bodybuilding and abusing steroids is very risky. even those of you running a little more TRT a week than you are supposed to naturally produce are opening yourself up to prostate cancer at a younger age. that is a fact. people need to think long term with their health
 
That's a big list. Heavy price to pay for abusing that much gear, no doubt.

I'm happy just being a bit bigger, and having a great libido and awesome sex. And using gear and gym as a hobby.
 
This is very unfortunate and tragic. Guys, steroids are no joke. Abusing them will take years off your life. Abusing them like these guys take DECADES and DECADES off of your life. Especially compounds like tren that is poison for your body, kills cardiac cells and destroys your cardiovascular health. Orals do a lot of damage as well.

Then theres just walking around too heavy. When you are 250 plus lbs your body doesn't care if you are fat or muscle. Your heart is working overtime to pump blood just like it does with obese people. Being high in bodyweight is not healthy.....period, and it will lead to an early death. That is fact.
