It's not strange for bodybuilders to die at age 50 or younger.
Put plain and simple: IT IS NOT NATURAL AND NOT MEANT TO BE.
The human body and heart are not supposed to bear 300+ pounds of mass, even if they are 6' tall.
When you hear of morbidly obese people who weigh 400+ pounds and are STILL ALIVE,
it gives you a new perspective of how dangerous is to engage in steroid abuse.
