+ 1 Mass Monster Golem dead of heart attack?

ad

Damn maybe I'm late but last night I saw news on the death of one of the biggest guys around. Yefimchyk aka " The Mutant" aka Golem died apparently from a massive heart attack. This guy was every bit of 340 pounds and and claimed a 600 pound bench, 700 pound squat and deadlift. Now according to a few of my powerlifting buddies, they have said those numbers are inflated but that's besides the point. I remember seeing this guy mentioning that a bodybuilder doesn't need to take massive amounts of GH or juice so either he was lying or he just happen to change his thoughts and philosophy but it was too late as his past caught up to him. I say that but no one actually knows the true cause of death but steroids may have played some part...just maybe. Damn hate seeing that.

And as Anvil mentioned this dude consumed 16k calories a day.
No karma needed

Rest in peace Illia. I dont say I agree with everything he did, but he really did "whatever it takes" and achieved the impossible. It is very sad that someone passes away so early... 36yo thats just crazy.

I remember visiting Eagle Fitness, which he built in Prague and it was one of the best gym I ever visited.

Take care brothers!

Fact of the matter is this lifestyle is dangerous. It's important to balance the risk reward. To get that large you need to abuse your body with anabolics. If that damage to your body is worth it to you then that's your decision.

Everyone should be able to make appropriate decisions on what is right for them. Very important to know what you're getting yourself into.

That's pretty much sums it up

Who is he fighting the one dude with the fake ass face tattoos?

DeeMan's picture

Edgar Berlanga, pretty much an undefeated nobody. He's got power though, alot of KOs but nahh.

23Sparta's picture

Yeah that dude. Google Edgar Berlanga face tattoos. He blasted his shit. He doesn’t even have a bank account ahead of this fight. Dude is 100 burnt the fuck out. Now I wanna watch it

DeeMan's picture

He doesn't have face tattoos though. Puerto Rican dude. I think that's a different Edgar but I just saw that too. As of now now no face tatts on him.

23Sparta's picture

Oh ok, I got tricked by Reddit

DeeMan's picture

Lol that Reditt gets a lot of folks. But anyways fight card is loaded

23Sparta's picture

It was on r/boxingcirclejerk, they be clowning on there

Maybe my nephew is gonna get this fight for us tonight

DeeMan's picture

O yeah? It's a stacked card man. Gotta be one of the better fight cards. Rare to see that. Guess american promoters are tired of that Saudi promoter putting together all the good fights.

23Sparta's picture

Yeah well see, I mentioned something to him so he should make it happen

DeeMan's picture

O yeah? you mentioned something about peace earlier. Man look grab you a cold one, maybe a fat cuban cigar with maybe some hot wings and enjoy man. I will

23Sparta's picture

Lmao, idk about the cold one or the cigar but the wings I can handle for sure

DeeMan's picture

I understand. Yea I don't do that often but those hot wings are another story

The body doesn't know the difference between 300 lbs of fat or 300 lbs lean muscle. We're just not built to maintain something like that.

Facts

DeeMan's picture

Same thing that I was thinking. No way to support long term

23Sparta's picture

Common sense tells me that steroid abuse lead to his demise. I don’t even have to read the forensic pathologist’s report

NWApatches's picture

Yeahhhh

Common sense not so common to everyone

DeeMan's picture

I feel you but you already know that some guys won't even consider steroids a possibility of causing his death. Seen it a few times

23Sparta's picture

I can respect that. All most of us are trying to do is live in peace inside our own head. By any means necessary

DeeMan's picture

Well I'll find my peace watching the Canelo fight tonight. My Hispanic buddies invited me to their watch party

@anvil @Triggerman83 this is what I was mentioning in my comment to yall a few seconds ago

The diet was absolutely insane. That alone is hard on the body. Terrible to see his age. I have heard stories this dude was even bigger than the pics begin to show!

I have only had a few that I really was amazed at in person. The OG versus IG filter kinda thing I think. I have a few “real” friends that are monsters. We have been to the Arnold in Ohio as a group trip numerous times. Always such a blast! Talking about Thai makes me want to plan for that this March!

Good point. That diet had to be hard on his body along with whatever he was taking. But yeah unfortunate. Like HAHAHAHA said that had to be hard on his heart, I guarantee that.

CHIMAIRA75's picture

Extremely taxing on all his organs.

DeeMan's picture

Had to be. Folks don't understand how big the dude really was. He's probably gotten close to 400 pounds in the past. Pretty sure his heart was already oversized 2 or 3 fold

DeeMan's picture

Yeah we both have enough sense to know gear more than likely played a part. Can't deny that. I'm sure nothing regular about his situation so not a comparison at all

I just watched that video where he eats 100 peices of sushi. Bound to have a parasitic infection after that.

What comes to mind is Eddie hall, prior to his axle lift that motherfucker was def on the verge of death.

Would someone like Brian Shaw be considered “healthy” he’s never hinted @ any health issues, he leads a fulfilling life with he& the wifey.

I hear he’s a very humble and easy to work with type dude, I had a counselor @Pyramid Altoona attend one of the strongman comps, my counselor was 6 ft 1 inch 225 lbs and looked like a child next to Brian.

I’m drifting away but how likely is it to be THAT large for THAT long without any major health issues??

Bottom line is guys can deny all they want to but the crazy diet with loads of gear is a recipe for disaster and that's just facts

ChuckThaDuck22's picture

Always feeling full has its benefit though amirite?

My mood is genuinely more pleasing to be around, whenever I was cutting weight when the footy season came around I was always miserable.
