Recently still another super-heavyweight Iron Immortal died from a heart attack at age forty-five or thereabouts. Typically, when I read of the tragedies I search my memory banks and then write some type of tribute. As opposed to eulogize still another fallen warrior, for whom it's too late, and at the chance of sounding presumptuous, I thought a slightly different approach could be appropriate and maybe even helpful in preventing the next tragedy. It's my contention that a shockingly large percentage of retired national and international-level powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters eat too much, do nothing insofar as cardiovascular training and as a direct result unnecessarily risk premature death. Sugar Train Slot

Retired super heavyweight lifters are particularly susceptible to the fatal phenomenon. Typically, the'in danger'big-man lifter reduces or quits weight training - but doesn't quit the enormous eating habits that got him big enough and dense enough to deal with world record poundage. Super-heavyweight powerlifters consume a lot of calories and particularly they eat way too much saturated fat.

Food is broken down for energy within the body. A gram of fat contains nine calories. A gram of protein or carbohydrate contains four calories per gram. For a person intent on bulking-up as large as you possibly can as fast as you possibly can, fat calories, dense and compact, are the ticket. Fat calories pack twice the caloric bounce-per-ounce as protein or carb calories and boy do they ever taste good! Allowing taste to dictate our diet may be fatal. High fat food is delicious and it offers food a great, seductive flavor. The bulking lifter can eat twice as many calories if they choose fat over protein or carbohydrates. Sugar Train Slots

The thing is that dietary fat is easily changed into body fat. To make use of an automobile analogy, the big lifter develops a human body akin to that of a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado - but the center muscle of the lifter does not enlarge to allow for the increased bulk. Metaphorically, the lifter has a heart built to power a 1967 VW Beetle but his 65-horsepower heart motor now motivates a 5000-pound Cadillac body: what an amazing strain on his little blood-pump. For some short years, hugeness is okay: the human body is incredibly resilient, if the lifter doesn't pare the pounds eventually the little heart muscle can suffer a blowout. Or will need replacing from overuse.

The miraculous heart muscle pulsates 60-90 times a moment, sending blood coursing through the veins and capillaries to receptive muscles and organs with the precision and regularity of an excellent Swiss watch. A hundred pounds (or more) of extra bodyweight will stress the tiny heart to the breaking point. It is a hell-of-a dilemma; to reach the top of the powerlifting game the lifter needs density with regards to their height.

Ever notice how few tall Powerlifters reach the international level? To accomplish the requisite density a high lifter (over six-foot) would require weigh 400-pounds to complement the density-per-inch the typical under-six foot super heavyweight achieves. Most individuals who meet top powerlifter are amazed at how short they are with regards to their weight. To maximize leverage, lifters need density-per-inch-of-height and super heavyweights, unencumbered by weight divisions, always have a powerful avenue available to boost their density-per-inch: eat more food and get bigger.

Big men feel they require dietary fat,'dirty'calories, to be able to gain the sheer bulk necessary to compete at the national and international level. As my old coach Hugh Cassidy used to preach, a significant super-heavyweight lifter can always "eat his way by way of a sticking point ".Of course when Hugh retired he dropped from 300-pounds to 190-pounds bodyweight in a very year. Cassidy was no dummy (a power lifting genius) and had the sense to reduce his caloric intake once the whistle sounded and the overall game was over. A whole lot don't and the effects are apparently disastrous.
