Who was Mike?Mike Matarazzo was one of the most popular athletes in the early 1990's.Mike had a larger than life personality, which translated to audiences around the world.
Mike started working out in order to improve his boxing skills.It didn't take long for him to make a full time career out of boxing.Mike was all mass with no weak parts, topped off with 22 inch arms and cut calves.His training style was all out, going as heavy as possible and with lots of volume.
Matarazzo entered several contests a year and never took a break.He was featured in all the muscle magazines on a monthly basis because he was always in top shape, and he appeared on dozens of covers.Mike never made it to the top of the scene.Mike was close to grabbing the brass ring after Lee Haney dominated the OLYMPIC.
Excess weight will strain the heart even if one has just 8% body fat.It was recommended that Mike lose weight after he was diagnosed with a heart condition.In between shows, Mike weighed in at over 300 pounds.He suffered a heart attack on his birthday in 2007, as a result of it all catching up with him.Mike blamed it on his lifestyle choices.
Everything that led to my heart problem began when I started competing in competitive bodybuilding.I would only eat red meat and no vegetables in order to get bigger.I wouldn't eat fruits because of their sugar.The chemicals were the worst.Steroids, growth hormones, diuretics, anything and everything that we as bodybuilders do to achieve a certain look, I have many memories of being alone in a hotel room the week, five days or two days before a contest.It has affected my whole life, so to all those guys who are on an eternal quest to get bigger and bigger, I say, "Change your attitude."It's going to take a long time for that body of yours to be as healthy as possible, so worry about keeping it that way.A long time for a human is nothing.You have nothing to stand on when your health is gone.
