Mortality in male bodybuilding just got hard numbers. In this video, I break down a new 16-year European Heart Journal study that tracked 20,286 IFBB bodybuilders (2005–2020) and recorded 121 deaths, with sudden cardiac death as the leading cause. We look at why pros are dramatically higher risk than amateurs, what’s really happening around contest prep, and how PED use ties into cardiovascular and kidney health.
