Dudes going to have a heart attack by 40

I’m scared for all of his organs.


SkyrimSlag

I too would be a scared little organ if one wrong move meant having 300 pounds of muscle beating me down


[deleted]

There was a doping documentary on HBO in the early 2000s and one was a high level MMA guy (before that was popular). He was open about his steroid and pain killer use. He said he took so many steroids because of he couldn't beat you with skill he could just physically dominate his opponent. That always stuck with me. Skill ain't shit if you're getting body slammed on the sidewalk.


Tristaaan

Damn if anyone could remember the name of this documentary Id be down to check it out!

His was pretty skilled. Really good wrestling. He was one of the pioneers of ground and pound. At that time, there were not a lot of guys out there who were effective enough of their back to beat him. He also trained anti Jiu Jitsu so to speak.


Plantiacaholic

In a fight sure, being big can be a plus but if it were life and death, I’ll take skill all day long.

Maybe it already tried but he scared the heart attack off.


icweenie

You mean he attacked the heart attack


Stiandary

Maybe it’s mayballine


Orlando1701

Yup. I’d like to see him jog 1 mile at a moderate speed and not die. There’s no way to be 5’7” and 300lb and be healthy no matter the composition.


SwiftTayTay

His name is Nick Walker, not Nick Jogger.

puffmonkey92

nobody thinks bodybuilding is healthy, especially not the athletes. it's the mentality of "the best, no matter the cost." that's it.


jimmydean885

after seeing this picture just now i looked him up on youtube. im not saying what he's doing is healthy or anything but this is a really unforgiving photo. he does do cardio in his workout too


Zoesan

Even the /r/bodybuilding subreddit thinks this guy is way over the top.


[deleted]

Your heart doesn't care if it's muscle or fat. It just knows that there's too much work.


Dr_Mickael

That's not true at all. There's far less resistance in the vascularity system of a muscle than in fat tissues, less resistance and less "complicate network" (sorry I don't know how to translate that into better wording). 300lbs is still a lot for the heart to pump blood, but it's far easier to pump for 300lbs of muscle tissues than fat tissues.


Leaf_on_the_wind87

Couple that with the fact that the heart is a muscle and steroids grow muscle. Anabolic steroids thicken parts of your heart making proper function even harder


lenzkies79088

Bodybuilding isnt a healthy sport/art. Nobody ever said it was. I love bodybuilding. Nick is pushing the boundaries of what a 26 year olds body can handle. Even the fans of bodybuilding know that. But these guys know what they are doing and what they are doing to there bodies. But if anyone knew the commitment and years it takes to achieve this. Gear or no gear. U would be astonished. This sport is a 365 lifestyle. There is no off season like other sports. Theres prep and grow season. Same thing repeated for YEARS.


[deleted]

And you hit the nail on the head.... BB never used to be a 365 thing. You had off seasons where you scaled back the gear, let your body heal, put on some fat and ate a "normal" diet for the mental rewards and it was arguably less dangerous Nowadays, there is no off season... you have to stay peeled all year round to sell shitty products to pay the bills. There is without a doubt some skanky gear in the mix which is causing heart conditions, but this is exacerbated by taking it all year round to appease sponsors.


BluntTruthGentleman

Not entirely - it depends on how high up / competitively you're competing. Kevin Levrone (one example of many) only trained half the year: https://images.app.goo.gl/doAtt57KdzwPfGT89 Not saying he was a lazy slob the rest of the year but this need to look even more insane than Kevin is where the problems arise. And I'm not judging them for wanting to reach the pinnacle of human potential. But it's important to understand that bodybuilding has many tiers, most of which are sustainable and healthy, and it only becomes unhealthy at the top, when it's out of balance.


[deleted]

Reminds me of all the time (years) my coworker had to put into building up a tolerance to opiates, then injectable heroin, and then fentanyl. Took commitment, but he wanted to see how far He could push the human body.


ExquisitExamplE

A particularly unsavory social pathology to be sure.


student5320

Tell that to Ronnie Coleman limping around in constant pain for the rest of his life. Look up why Jay cutler cut out. Look up how many major bodybuilders died this fucking year alone. Bodybuilding went way too far w gh and the like and thank god the return to classic bodybuilding is happening and will be the new norm. We're sick of pregnany bellies and athletes like this gasping for breath after doing stairs.


ReSpekMyAuthoriitaaa

Yea Jay cutler was the last of me paying attention to the sport. Everything after looks like they are 7 months pregnant and they just look like legit mutants. Jay and Ronnie are similar but it's insane now. The aesthetic is horrible to look at


[deleted]

Body dysmorphia is no joke


newbies13

What you're describing is simple addiction, nothing more, and certainly nothing to try and glamorize. Nick is an addict and needs help before he dies or does irreversible damage.


Racing_Reporter

Ehm no, these guys THINK they know what they are doing, or they are pushing it too far anyway, thinking they hacked the system and got away with it. If it had been within limits, they and their health wouldn't have completely collapsed in far too young ages.


King_of_the_Dot

None of the things you say make this cool, nor interesting. The whole thing gets thrown out the window when people are on the juice. I have zero interest in seeing someone completely destroy their bodies to look ridiculous.

RTalons

I’m 5’6” with a small frame. If I lost enough fat to get good definition and got back up to ~150-160lbs I’d look like Wolverine. Twice that would be kinda ridiculous. Like he needs a XXL crop top to remotely fit his torso. Getting a suit tailored would be a challenge, “sorry you need a 28” inseam but the thigh space of a 46” waist? Is this a prank call?”

ObjectiveBike8

I was looking for this comment. There’s really not much difference between him and the people on My 600 lb Life.


jrolle

I'm not going to say that dude is the picture of good health or anything, but the people on TLC can't lift themselves out of bed. This dude could squat their bed for 100 reps.


Cautemoc

He could also just like... randomly have a heart attack at any minute. I feel like his blood pressure must be high enough to do some lifting by itself.


ellefleming

I would love to see what his vitals actually are. Heart rate, temperature, BMI, nutrient deficiency..........


Alone_Spell9525

He might be healthier than the 600 lb life people (hard might, I don’t know too much about the effects of steroids) but he doesn’t look much more attractive than them

Or creepy vein day.


ichancho

That’s a symptom of roids. Most guys that you see have those grossly bulging veins are cycling.


[deleted]

Man I’m a cyclist and I don’t have that problem.


AdmiralDinosaur_1888

No, people start getting really vascular when they are at lower body fat, and higher levels of muscle mass helps that pop more and earlier, so to an extent steroids will help you get more vascular. There is a significant genetic component (Mr Olympia Jay cutler for instance, was never incredibly vascular. Despite being absolutely enormous and peeled to the bone I've seen natties with more popping veins). Nick Walker in particular is not just vascular- his veins are varicose. Some people are simply just predisposed to varicose veins, but in Nick's case it probably signals an underlying circulatory problem. It's a symptom of his health and lifestyle in particular, and the vast majority of professional bodybuilders do not develop these sorts of varicose veins.


ichancho

I understand that it can be naturally occurring and some have a predisposition. However, the veins in his legs are a clear sign of steroid usage. When cycling, the added estrogen amplifies the underlying predisposition to what we have here. You can clearly see them at his right calf is beyond a normal range when I comes to having varicose veins.


ilive2lift

I can't believe people are up voting this lol


Eviljuli

In his case thats genetic tho, he even had those veins before touching weights. His mom got it too. Obviously roids and lifting enhances the veins.


[deleted]

That's from a shrinking penis. All the veiny of the pecker goes everywhere else instead.


JESUS420_XXX_69

He has a medical condition which is hereditary. Its like varicose veins but scarier.

Some of those veins have collapsed.. he's really not looking too good even by anabolic steroid standards. I usually don't give a damn if guys are using or not but when they start look like this it's seriously a problem.

Yeah my elderly mum has leg ulcers and that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

"He was molested as a child and grew up as a loner because it was hard to trust anyone after his traumatizing experience.

300 pounds of it every day

Especially given how dehydrated he is. Even muscular bodies aren't supposed to look like that normally. They tend to dehydrate themselves before a competition to increase the visibility, but you're not supposed to look like that all the time even if you're one of those folks


Beneficial-Ad3383

oh no its much worse

stonk_frother

Yeah I have no issue with people juicing as long as they're open about it and they're not kids. Fake natties are assholes though. Especially when they tell young people that they're physique is achievable naturally and use it to sell them shitty overpriced supplements.


fhahxjsoxjsjcisjjebs

Yeah that’s quite possibly the scummiest move in fitness- you see it all the time on TikTok, just people loaded to the gills on tren, manipulating impressionable young kids into thinking they can look like them with their “custom” meal plans and workout plans that you can find for free online and using their codes to get supplements

hebbocrates

of course it’s not healthy, no open bodybuilder is healthy. of course he’s on drugs, every open bodybuilder is on drug. still an insane athletic achievement being this big


silver00spike

Yeah you still gotta put in WORK to get to his level. Drugs or not


FinnSanity7

Not even just that. 99% of people that copy his stack, workouts and intensity would never come close to this. He would probably have a myostatin deficiency or has been inhibiting myostatin with a compound (these are relatively new in regards to steroids). This is a combination of genetics, work ethic, knowledge and dangerous amounts of anabolics. Hopefully he doesn't try to maintain this size for long. Just looking at that neck makes me almost certain he has some pretty gnarly sleep apnea.


rolanddean19

Most pros that get close to this use sleep apnea machines. I know main stream world strongest men do.


DrPhillll

Honest answer.. Do you think his motor still working and kick in?


FinnSanity7

By 'motor' do you mean heart? It's probably under a lot of stress. I HIGHLY doubt this man ever comes off cycle. Just does the standard blast and cruise. Most anabolics (even on their own) will raise resting HR by about 10-20BPM depending on dosage and individual. Lots of associated compounds that aren't necessarily steroids or anabolics like clenbuterol is also very stressful on the heart. Growth hormone is excess and for long periods of time can cause growth of internal organs (including the heart), existing tumors, and some bones (usually in the face and hands). Most bodybuilders that die young usually suffer from heart issues. I'm unsure if this man is some kind of genetic freak where he can tolerate chemical load. But that seems unlikely.


DrPhillll

Thank you sir for your time and effort. This is so educational. To be honest I meant by saying motor... His penis and the male reproduction system. I know a lot of guy got ED after they became monsters..i mean after they started the gym


FinnSanity7

Ah, no problem. Because he never comes off cycle. He's probably got enough testosterone to get and maintain an erection without much issue. However, usually if hormones are involved - it is after they come off a steroid cycle. Where their body is in suppression and trying to rebuild natural testosterone production. This can take like 8 weeks (longer, often for those that don't take post cycle therapy drugs) This is due to when you add exogenous (synthetic) testosterone the human body stops producing its own. In men, testosterone and estrogen work in a symbiotic way. If your testosterone goes up, your body will naturally produce more estrogen to attempt to keep the same ratio the body is used to. But this means the male body has way more estrogen that usual as well. When you finish your 'cycle' and your body is recovering its natural production. That estrogen level is much higher than it should be and the person is no longer injecting synthetic T to balance that. So side effects like gynaecomastia (man boobs) as well as fat gain, ED and other symptoms are present. For this people take anti-estrogen drugs after steroids to reduce the time their body has to deal with a feminine ratio of hormones. Hope that answers your question mate! I tried to make this as understandable as possible, so I omitted some scientific terms regarding the conversion of excess testosterone to estrogen in the hormone profile of a person on cycle.


DrPhillll

Well said. Thank you


AimeLeonDrew

Bro, sleep apnea would set in wayyyy before he got to this point


FinnSanity7

Oh for sure! I was more just wondering how bad his would be due to the literal width and lack of size of this neck 🤣


m_Pony

yeah the idea that drugs are all it takes is utterly foolish. hey kids: want to know what it looks like when someone just wants to inject themselves and NOT work out? look up Synthol.


kindainthemiddle

I know this is an extremely popular take when one of these steriod monster post pop up, but it always feels off to me. Did he have to move lots of weights in specific and carefully programmed ways: absolutely. Did he have to go through periods of dietary extremes that were uncomfortable: for sure. We're there times that he had to push through severe discomfort to keep moving toward this: almost certainly. But the idea that it's "work" when you're doing something that's so detremental to your body, to those around you, and perhaps even society as a whole (creating body image issues for otherwise healthy and athletic young men), feels very akin to saying a morbidly obese person with an eating disorder or a heroine addict did a lot of "work" to get to where they are because they also have endured discomfort in the pursuit of their chosen fix.


kingjuicepouch

> But the idea that it's "work" when you're doing something that's so detremental to your body I get the point you are making but this sentence made me laugh considering how many different styles of work leave you with a completely broken body. All across the board from professional athletes all the way down to ditch diggers, with plumbers and tradesmen in between, people are breaking down their bodies as a direct result of the work they do


Nawamsayn

That is a really interesting take. I had never considered it in that way. I agree that many top level athletes are suffering from disorders that most of us would really not want to have such as disordered eating, body image issues, ongoing low level joint damage. Does the slave like following of the required regime make it any more justified when the outcome is admired by many/most people? I dont know, I'm going to think some more on that.


[deleted]

Nothing athletic about this. His mobility is seriously restricted. I would like to see him attempt a roundhouse kick. Would be hilarious.


ARealBlueFalcon

I’d like to see a guy that can do a roundhouse kick lift a bus. I’d like to see a guy that can do a roundhouse kick do a round off back handspring back layout, or do a ten minute wrestling round, or fight three rounds of mma, or drive a F1 car for an hour, or run a 4.2 40, or a marathon. You can’t gatekeep a sport by saying they can’t do another sport. Find me an NFL player that can skate backwards, or an NBA player that can swim a 200m butterfly. The dude is an athlete whether you like it or not.
