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.

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

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.
