What do some of you guys think of his early death? I have been reading about him for days now and have some conclusions on what I think. The guy stayed "contest ready" all year, and did every IFBB show he could. He had alot of pressure to stay in shape, which I think lead to his demise. I have yet to see anyone as "shredded" as him. He looked like a lizard or something. An article I read about him, which was a friend of his, said he never did the "heavy" stuff like high test, anadrol, or sustanon, but used primarily water-based compounds. Winstrol, parabolan, primobolan A, and anavar. He was known to use winstrol and anavar for many months with little to no break. He used high doses of potassium depleating diuretics as well, via wiki. His autopsy showed that half of his liver was crumbled mass that looked like styrofoam. Officially he died of multiple organ failure (kidneys and liver) and a severely bleeding stomach.
We all know there is risks to what we do, but with self-control and moderation, I truley think we can live longer and healthier than most. After all, most of us are strict about our health over our looks. And I think that AAS can assist in a healthier lifestyle if used properly and moderately. I am just baffled by Andreas and his way of life. There is no way we can attribute his health problems to anything else other than abusing these compounds. I fully understand his reasoning, and I dont disrespect him for it at all. I just wish that he wasnt faced with the pressure to be "ripped" all year and that he had someone who could have been a mentor to him and helped keep him safer. He is a prime example of what abuse, over-use, and pressure to perform can do to someone. Not even steroid related. We can overdo anything. We can spend too much time at work, spend money on crap that isnt even needed, or give our time to people outside of our families. Anything can be over done. I just wanted to share this, as reading about him has taken someof my time and has made me think alot about different things. It has shown me that I need to be more frugile and to not overdo things that could be detrimental to my health or harm someone else.
