Hello,
I love your site and wear the t-shirt to draw more support.
I love lifting and have never been involved with any steroids/HGH. It’s awesome to lift the same weight as someone who is 50%+ heavier than myself and “appears” in shape.

After reading this article I do have a question:
Does being very vascular always mean that one’s valves are not functioning properly?

Since I started lifting (April 1, 2001) I have always been very vascular.. I do get doctor checkups and have even been to a cardiologist a couple years back who didn’t find any issues with my heart.

Feedback would be appreciated as this article may scare people who are your fans but find themselves being vascular naturally.

It’s all true; steroids can destroy your life. But it is sad that the message is not getting thru and way too many champions and former champion are dying way too young. Mike Matarazzo was a great champion and a good man, and he told the truth but no one wants to hear it. Why? you ask? Because the fitness industry is vested in these kinds of blown-up steroid bodies to sell their products and they suppress the truth.

It is time the truth be told, and heard…..before these corporations destroy all our health. Let’s revive bodybuilding and save it from the sludge of the mud where they have dragged it through.

Well said, i remember seeing Mike in Golds Venice in the early nineties. I weighed 220 pds and felt like a shrimp next to guys like that .

Numerous people I saw in that gym died young. I am still training and tremendously healthy at 47. Reason being I always knew there were health risks from those drugs. So I never took them. Young people today
deny the health risks but they are still there.

It is a shame bodybuilding is such a healthy lifestyle. But you add steroids to mix and you throw the health aspect out window

Back in the day I read a comment from Mike that …
“A major determinant for bodybuilding success was how much drugs your body could tolerate”.

Enough said ….
