Dorian Yates: This is What’s Wrong with Fitness and Bodybuilding Today
"Every day I open social media, there's somebody died. Powerlifter, strongman, bodybuilder, female competitor. We never saw that before. So people are pushing the limits with their health. Most likely die from heart disease by the time they're 40s, maybe earlier. Every time I open social media, there's a death in bodybuilding. Young competitors, 25 years old, 30 years old, 35 years old."
Yates reports that bodybuilding deaths have become a daily occurrence on social media, with competitors dying in their twenties and thirties from heart disease. He predicts modern users will likely die by their forties if they continue current protocols. Yates attributes the epidemic to extreme steroid doses, insulin abuse, and post-vaccine vascular complications stacked with anabolics.
