Do Professional Bodybuilders live long?

[DangerousGrounds]

Arnie had heart surgery that I recall, but his dad didn't live all that long so I dont doubt some inheritance there. Larry Scott is still kicking, seems in very good health to me.

Bah, anyway, I still think if anyone is at somewhat high risk at all its the NKOTB and they are still to young to judge. Momo is dead, but that was due to dehydration I believe, trying to come in ultra cut one year, somewhere between 88 or 92, I forget.

Muntzer died was no Mr. O but was Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) related I hear of mass dosages and lasix

I watched an E-Hollywood True Story on Dave Draper..........it was a good watch...........but he was put in the hospital with almost complete organ(liver, kidneys) failure and they thought he wasn't going to make it. Hard to say what caused it, he was heavily drinking at the time, but who knows if the juice had any effect also. Like it was said before your body's a machine and working it that hard can't be good for it................DR

Arnold's heart problem was inherited from his mother, who actually died of the same defect.

ORVILLE IMPROVES
Orville Burke, stricken since November 5 from a postoperative coma following surgery to repair a triceps tendon tear, is making gradual progress, say sources in New York City. Though he is still hospitalized, Burke is now walking and talking and generally responding positively to rehabilitation. This is great news for fans and friends of the popular 39-year-old pro who finished ninth at the 2002 Mr. Olympia. Of course, we'll keep you up to date on Orville's development, and let you know when he's ready to address his fans publicly. ---flexonline.com

If I remember correctly, Arnold's heart ailment and surgery had to do with a bad valve. IF IF I also recall correctly, there were some saying his heart defect was steroid use related. *shrug* Dunno.
