10 Bodybuilders Who Took It Too Far
10. Trevor Smith
Trevor Smith wasn’t interested in any professional
competition. However, he was famous in the bodybuilding community. Rather than
go on stage to compete with his fellow muscular men and win prizes, he chose to
write his own bodybuilding business called Nuclear Nutrition. He even created a
workshop called beauty failure training. Aside from all the activities that
made him famous, he was known for being too huge. Trevor stood at 6.1 feet and
weighed over 400 pounds. Unfortunately, he didn’t follow due process to get
that big, not only did he train excessively but he also used steroids to
achieve artificial size. All the extra weight had ripple effects on his
internal organs. This meant that he was unknowingly putting pressure on his
internal hear. He died in 2004 after suffering a heart attack.
9. Andreas Munzer
People take steroids to look bigger and earn the respect of
other bodybuilders. However, they are not the only supplement in the market
that gives a sense of belonging to achieve muscle definition. It’s common for
bodybuilders to diuretics which rids the takers body of water and dehydrates it
completely. The effect of the supplement is that it shrinks the skin and the
tissues on the surface of the body. It turns men into giants and displays their
anatomy. Andre Munzner subscribed to this techniques but went a step further by
reducing his body fat to nothing. This resulted in a never seen before muscle
definition. Even though his body mass helped him win may competitions. It aided
his downfall due to the constant intake of dangerous chemicals and an unhealthy
diet, his organs began to fail. He was later admitted to the hospital after he
reported severe stomach pain. What followed next was multiple organ failure and
eventual death. What was more heartbreaking was his swollen heart which was
twice the normal size.
8. Sally McNeil
Sally McNeil was not much of an award-winning bodybuilder.
Her major achievement was winning some armed services physique championships
while she served in the marine corps. Despite her steroid use she didn’t bring
home any medals. This didn’t absolve her of the usual side effects that should
naturally occur. In her case they were so severe that she shot and killed her
husband a fellow bodybuilder on valentine’s day in1995. During her trial her
lawyer argued that she was a victim of domestic abuse and killed her husband
out of self-defense. Well, her late husband’s defense had a stronger argument.
They proved to the judge that she has a history of aggression and violent
outburst since her previous marriage. They cited instances of her attacking
innocent people, assaulting a police officer and attacking a helpless
spectator. Testing showed she had steroids in her system. She was later sentenced
to 19 years in prison for second degree murder.
7. Chad Brothers
Regardless of how you try to blend exercise and drugs, they
never meet. There would always be a counter interaction that would have
negative effects on the body. The chad brothers fell off an elliptical machine
at Gold’s gym in colony New York. Their immediate action to this was going on a
rampage and destroying the gym and office equipment. They even went to the
extent of attacking other customers. When police arrived at the gym they shot
the boys with a taser. When an officer started to cuff one of them he grabbed
the taser and fought back. As the fight intensified he was teased twice more.
Thanks to six other police who intervened he held and cuffed. When he was taken
to the hospital it was later discovered that he had PCP and steroids in his
system.
6. Gregg Valentino
Gregg Valentino was famous for holding the record of the
biggest arms of the most hated men in the bodybuilding community. Unlike most
professional bulkers he didn’t attempt to bulk his whole body rather, he
focused on his arms. Although he managed to get big while exercising naturally
he wasn’t satisfied he wanted more out of sport. He began taking steroids and
testosterone that made his arms to grow to a massive 27 inches. He was excited
at how speedily his arms increased in size. This was the motivation to
continue. Valentino was carried away with injecting steroids and forgot to
change his needles. He kept using needles without sterilizing. This negligence
along with getting hit with a baseball bat caused an abscess in his arms.
Rather than seek professional medical care he chose to handle this wound
himself. When he didn’t achieve any success with treating himself, he went to
the hospital where the doctor cut the arms open to clean out the abscess.
Luckily all this did was cause a large scar on his bicep.
5. Dean Wharmby
Dean Wharmby was an English bodybuilder who spent most of
his life taking steroids. He had an impressive physique with over 240 pounds of
muscle. It didn’t take long repercussions on his decisions to start a show
forth. It came in the form of liver cancer. He was diagnosed with liver tumors
in 2010 and by 2015 when he died he had gone from a muscle monster to a
bed-bound warrior. After his death an inquiry revealed that the major culprit
was the steroids and all the other drugs he took to stay huge. His partner
Charlotte told the press that she suspected that he used steroids because his
muscles were unbelievably big but claimed he stopped taking drugs after they
were married. When he fell ill, he stopped taking steroids and resorted to
natural methods to restore his health. Before he died he took 200 natural
remedy capsules daily. These natural remedies may have worked if he quit early
when the liver wasn’t damaged.
4. Romario Dos Santos Alves
Even though you can describe Romario Dos Santos Alves as a
bodybuilder he didn’t build anything. This is because he didn’t dedicate his
time to lifting heavy weights and taking protein shakes rather, he injects his
muscles with synthol a special oil that artificially enlarges the muscles. His
addiction to large muscles caused him lose his health. Alves’s addiction caused
him pain as the toxins from the oils were putting his kidney at risk. Despite
all the disadvantages he went ahead to inject himself until regular needles
couldn’t penetrate his muscles. Instead of quitting he purchased veterinary
needles like the type used on bowls and continued. Eventually his muscles
became too hard and the pain was unbearable. The doctors warned that the only
option left was amputation of his arms. Luckily for him he didn’t reach the
point of no return before he had a change of mind about his addiction.
3. Ruben Arzu
Police in colton California arrested 300-pound bodybuilder
called Ruben Arzu. They said he was under the influence of steroids and had
other drugs when they found him sitting naked. He had just returned home from a
party but instead of going home he sat on couple’s porch. The couple was scared
for him and tried to phone the police. What followed next was a swift
opposition and attack from the man whom they wanted to help. They were badly
injured in the process while the man received severe head trauma from the
beating. The woman was thrown around by the lunatic and suffered facial injuries.
When the police arrived at the scene it took the intervention four officers
with stun guns and 4 sets of handcuffs to restrain Arzu. If it only alcohol he
took that night or had been taking along his reaction wouldn’t have been this
violent. He was arrested and charged with attempted homicide.
2. Moustafa Ismail
Moustafa Ismail is an Egyptian bodybuilder who followed the
footsteps of Gregg Valentino by focusing all of his attention on the arms. He
was keen on setting a new world record and was fortunate to achieve it. His
biceps measured nearly 31 inches making it the biggest at the time.
Investigation showed that he used other artificial means of achieving this
size. Because he cheated his record was removed from the Guiness book of world
records. He’s believed to be a fan of synthetic oils that artificially bulk his
biceps. Even though he denies this fact it’s hard not to believe what people
say.
1. Greg Kovacs
Greg Kovacs hells from Niagara falls Canada. He’s a
professional bodybuilder of remarkable dimensions. He was well over 6feet tall
and weighed around 330 pounds for competitions and 400 pounds off season. His
arms measured 25 inches while his chest was 70 inches and his legs a massive 35
inches. He reportedly developed over 27-inch arms in the prime of his career.
In June 1997 he appeared on the cover of flex magazine. Like most people on
this list h was big on hormones steroids and a few other things that helped him
gain weight. He dominated his competitors and made them look like children.
This made his victories at competitions a walk in the park like Trevor Smith.
He was answerable to his health and the high doses of drugs and extra weight
did his health no good. He died from a heart attack in 2013 at age 44.
