Der Bodybuilder Mike Matarazzo ist heute im Alter von 47 Jahren gestorben.
Wie man hört, hatte er schon zwei Herz-OP's und seine Pumpe hatte nur noch zu 20 % gearbeitet.
Ziemlich traurig und tragisch. Die besten Waden die ich bislang gesehen habe.
Wieder einmal ein Vorfall der auch mich zum Nachdenken bringt, vor allem auch, da er sich öffentlich dazu geäussert hat warum
es ihm so schlecht ging und er diese Probleme hat.
'' Oh, god, where do I begin? I'd have to say that everything that led to my heart problem began the minute I started getting serious about competitive bodybuilding. In order to get bigger, I'd eat five, six, seven pounds of red meat a day, no vegetables. And I'd stay away from fruits because of their sugar.[8]
Worst were the chemicals. I have so many memories of being alone in a hotel room the week, five days or two days before a contest, and doing unspeakable things to my body—steroids, growth hormones, diuretics—anything and everything that we as bodybuilders do to achieve a certain look.
It has affected my whole life, so to all those guys who are on an eternal quest to have 21" arms and 20" calves, and who are so vain about their never-say-die attitude, I say, "Change your attitude." Worry about keeping that body of yours as healthy as possible, because it's going to have to last you not just through your next contest or to the end of your bodybuilding contract, but for a long time. And a long time for a human being is nothing. It goes by real quick, even quicker when your health is gone and you have nothing to stand live for. '' - Mike Matarazzo
Rest in Peace Champ.
