Wow Mike, I'm impressed that you found that footage of Anthony from shortly before he died.  I can't imagine how much footage you had to sift through in order to find it.

[gatomjp]

@FitnessByMatt Actually, the footage found me. I was going through my footage of the competitors arriving without even thinking I was going to use it when Anthony appeared. It was like seeing a ghost and it gave me the piece I needed to complete the tribute.

Look at 02:05,the name has changed from abusing on steroids to "pull too much"

[gatomjp]

@bizuca You don't understand the language. Pull too much means drop too much water from the system. This was not steroid related, no matter how much you'd like it to be.

[gatomjp]

Do you say that about auto racing when a driver gets killed? Or mountainclimbing when someone falls? Anything taken to an extreme entails some kind of risk.

@britnexcore .we all have inlarged hearts from training i been training 45 years , but really sorry about anthony

[britnexcore]

@689321546

He had congenital heart disease. I heard from my family (he's my cousin) that his heart was bigger than it should be and he strained it too much. or something to that effect.

[689321546]

does anyone really know how he died , i'm not asking a question there is someone that knows the person who was training him the day he died .

[FitnessByMatt]

@bizuca Diuretics, not steroids. Blaming steroids for problems caused by diuretics makes no sense at all.

[jakeo985]

so many people in denial about the effects of steroids

@skscotchegg your right dude

[skscotchegg]

I think he died because of not enough water, correct me if I'm wrong?...This is very sad, R.I.P...Lots of respect, he looked amazing, hes a great inspiration to thousands of people world wide.
