Why bodybuilders always die early
Dr. Jack Kruse says bodybuilders die decades earlier than the average person.
His friend Charles Poliquin is proof. • World-class physique • Looked like a Greek statue • One of the most famous strength coaches alive
Kruse told him repeatedly he was going to die before 60. He died of a heart attack at 58. Kruse says the pattern is everywhere:
• NFL players die early.
• Professional wrestlers die early
• Gorillas die 20-30 years earlier than hhumans
They all look jacked. They all die young. Kruse says the reason is physics.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. When you pack mitochondria into muscle, you are stealing that energy from your brain and heart—the two organs that actually determine how long you live. He points to Kleiber's law. Every mammal on Earth gets the same number of heartbeats in a lifetime. Gorillas have far more muscle than humans. They also die 20-30 years sooner.
Nature chose brain over muscle for longevity. "Go find me anybody who's 85 years old that looks like that. You're going to find like not a lot of people." The longest-lived humans on Earth are small people with belly fat. Not bodybuilders.
"Where you bury your mitochondrial density is the key."
