Antonio Souza, a 26-year-old bodybuilder, died from cardiac arrest shortly after placing in the top three at the Navega Open bodybuilding competition in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Souzas wife, Yone Silva, revealed that he had been experiencing chest pain and had taken diuretics, a controversial practice among bodybuilders to shed water weight, which can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Souzas death, along with the deaths of other young bodybuilders such as George Peterson and Kiera Parrow, has ignited debate about the safety standards and extreme measures often taken in the sport. The incident has prompted calls for reform within the bodybuilding community, with some advocating for stricter guidelines, changes to the culture that promotes extreme physiques, and a redefinition of what constitutes healthy fitness beyond mere appearance.

I was wondering what happened to him. He and I were internet buds. We chatted, argued, and traded info for a year or so then silence. Thst sucks. He was a nice kid.

Yea crazy. Too many are leaving. Knowledge is Power. I don't know why? The ones i've known that almost died. Like Milos who is well educated.. Almost left us injecting. When he injected oil into areas he knew was a high risk.
I hope more guys learn good/ bad. Ask those iwith experience before risking. Again I'm not saying how this young man passed. I only hear rumors within the circle.

Synthol possibly at least partially

I sometimes wonder about mct oil in injectable steroids. I don’t use them because I get big knots. I suspect I have an allergy. But this probably had a hundred 10cc bottle equivalent in each bicep.

Yea, I heard he could of been a combination. They said night before the show. He locked up with cramps so bad. He was like a stiff. They said after trying to rehydrate him. Once he regained control. He refuse to get medical treatmeant. Than his parter later that night gave him site injections and he had some complications. he was complaining he could not breathe. Once they sat he up. He refused to still get treatment and wanted his partner to continue the site injecting. He said if he went to hospital. They would iv him and he did not come this far to fail. This is coming from a few mates in the circle.

100% everyone in or around the Big Dance, are site injecting. Now the amateurs are doing this. You can see the scar tissue buildup. Once the scaring starts. They are pretty much done. It destroys the area for ever.
