So toward the end of my training this morning one of the regulars comes up and says to me, "Did you here old B**& died?" I said " what are talking about?" anyway he says this particular guy who comes in most days and I have the odd chat with, was on the seated twist machine and had a heart attack...keeled over and died there in the gym." he was mid fifties a little over weight, but c'mon. Died right there on the floor in front of the walking machines...some days your damned if you don't and damned if you do!

Many years ago I worked with a guy named Floyd. He would work double shifts all the time. He would always put his head down for a half hour nap in the lunch room between shifts. One day he never picked up his head.
I never seen it in the gym tho.Every day counts.

When I was younger I raced road bikes. I was in a Cat 2 race and a guy had a massive heart attack right next to me during one of the larger climbs. I thought he simply crashed. My brother who came to watch me race did CPR on him until the paramedics came. It was too serious for him to live I guess though.
Eat right, exercise, lift weights, get 8 hours of sleep.

When I was taking cheap whey it usually smelled like someone died.
Kinda sad irony though in all seriousness - afterall we join the damn gym to live a little longer."A successful person is one who can build a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at them." David Brinkley

A guy died on one of our ab machines about five years ago. It still gives me the creeps every time I pass by that machine...

I've never seen anything like that happen in my gym.. but once a guy had a bad seizure at the kung fu school I used to attend.. it seemed pretty bad.. like he could've died.. the paramedics kept grilling us about what happened.. I guess they thought since we're a kung fu school someone might've done something to him.. he was just doing light sparring and just flopped on the ground.. it was scary..

Walt Tyndall was an old school bodybuilder and powerlifter here in Indianapolis, and a great proponent of the sports. He always ran his own gym, although it moved many times. I wasn't there to see it, but he was in his late 50s or maybe 60 and keeled over while doing seated rows. Not sure if it was a heart attack or an aneurysm, but I was told he was dead before he hit the deck. At least he went doing what he loved most!

When I was younger, I asked an older guy I knew and kinda looked up to what happens after we die? He sorta shrugged and said, "Alot of people crap themselves."
Even then I knew that hanging around the older folks would give me some perspective.Envy is ignorance. Imitation is suicide.

I want to die on impact.
"It doesn't matter what exercise you do, but man was made to move, to eat sparingly, to work hard and to screw as much as he can manage. Do all that, and you will look as good as your genes will let you, be content as the arseholes around you will allow, and maybe get a few screws. The particular virtues of weight training are in the discipline it brings to both mind and body, and, if you do it right, it will make you look good naked and do well what you got your clothes off to do."
