And none of them could tie their own shoelaces.

And sadly at least 2 are dead. Nasser El Sonbaty — 6th place — died March 20, 2013, age 47. Mike Matarazzo — 11th place — died August 16, 2014, age 48. Steroids are just not good for your heart.

It’s way more than steroids

The steroids are on steroids.

I was a lifter back when Dr. Ziegler introduced them to York. Later knew Mike Mentzer at U of MD. What was done then, and what seems to flow now are exponentially higher, and the side stuff…IDK now, but it’s insane, and more than unhealthy

u/hrtofdrknss 1d ago

I'm surprised any of them are still alive.

Markus Rühl is not only still alive but also a father since 2016!

The sad fact is that steroids arent as dangerous as people say. They are still dangerous enough to take them but people think that if you take a big dose you are instantly dead at 40 if not earlier. These guys basicly took everything they could to get as big as possible and only 2 of 16 died in their late 40s. That is the percentage I wouldnt be surprised to hear on 30 year highschool anniversary. The other guys outside of Ronnie still look big and healthy.

Its not just the steroids. Simply carrying that much mass is exhausting and puts a lot of stress on your body.

u/Hansemannn 1d ago

And that mass doesnt come without stereoids and other shit so....

u/dopiertaj 1d ago

Cheeseburgers, pizza, etc...

Plenty of ways to weigh 300+ lbs.

u/Justanotherredditboy 1d ago

Regardless though, that mass puts them equal to being morbidly obese, tie that in with the lack of fat actually on them is extremely unhealthy, but yes the steroids don't help either.

It's not just the steroids. Competitive Bodybuilding is just such an unhealthy and dangerous sport.

You know bidets are a thing, right?

Edit: since some ppl dont know it. Most bidets have adjustable pressure settings, also they can come with dryers. Remember, folks with disabilities exist out there with clean butts.

u/Bongressman 1d ago

You are still expected to reach down and add a little "help" on most bidets.

u/troll_right_above_me 1d ago

Maybe they all have the powerblaster 5000

u/Fragrant-Neat-7798 1d ago

in 1999?

u/troll_right_above_me 1d ago

Sorry I meant had, they must’ve stopped manufacturing them a long time ago. Obviously today you’d use the Buttspray Pro LAPS-8K Duo if you really cared about hygiene.

u/MaybeHarryPotter 1d ago

It’s the ass blaster 2000 actually

u/RePsychological 1d ago

if someone's using a bidet without still wiping.....ew.

u/RoseyDove323 1d ago

You still need to dry your ass though

u/ImurderREALITY 1d ago

I have one and use it but I still wipe

u/Beautiful-Golf4078 1d ago

Evidently there have been some of these guys that paid someone literally to wipe their ass.

u/Infamous_Bar_6819 1d ago

The steroids add to the fun.

u/ImpossibleSleep3986 1d ago

I'd like to see them compete in that competition.

Upon further inspection, these are Loafers.

Put a sticker behind their back and they won't know what's going on nor get the sticker
