Seth Feroce Comments on Recent Bodybuilder Deaths and Steroid Use
Seth Feroce issues a warning on steroid use after multiple bodybuilding deaths.
Seth Feroce had a lot to say about the recent bodybuilding deaths that have rocked the industry to the core. In a recent video Feroce also gave a warning to up and comers looking to use steroids.
It’s clear. There’s an issue going on in bodybuilding that some individuals in the industry refuse to speak on. There are plenty of bodybuilders who have passed away in the recent years and months that is causing some concern in the community. Recently Shawn Rhoden passed away and his death has sent shockwaves through the bodybuilding community. It was truly unfortunate and unexpected. When you couple that with the fact that Rhoden was only 46 years old, it’s clear that there is an unspoken issue plaguing modern bodybuilding.
The deaths of John Meadows, George Peterson, and now Shawn Rhoden should be a wake up call for the community. Before these three bodybuilders there was Dallas McCarver and Luke Sandoe. So many bodybuilders are losing their lives at young ages. When you contrast that with bodybuilders of the Golden Era that are still going strong, you have to wonder if the state of modern bodybuilding is the culprit behind these untimely deaths. Namely, are competitors over medicated?
Well it appears that bodybuilding veteran Seth Feroce thinks that is exactly the case.
No stranger to professional bodybuilding competition, Seth Feroce has learned a thing or two during his tenure in the game. With his time spent building muscle over the course of his career, Feroce has encountered and utilized anabolic substances. In reality one can’t build massive muscle like the pros without utilizing steroids. It’s just the reality of the game.
The Consequences of Steroid Use
Seth Feroce recently addressed steroid usage in bodybuilding and the consequences of taking the substance.
“This s—t is not a joke. A lot of people make excuses, a lot of people use too many things as crutches, or excuses, or ‘Oh, it could’ve been this, it could’ve been that.’ This lifestyle that we lead as bodybuilders, is not for the feint of heart,” said Feroce.
“This is a personal decision that we all make. Nobody made me do the s—t that I did, except me. So it’s no one’s responsibility and no one else is accountable except me, for the things that I’ve chosen to do. Death don’t f**king care. I recently quit taking high amounts of steroids. I’m on TRT. I go to the doctors, I’ve had really good doctors in my life… tell me to cut the s**t.”
Seth Feroce is trying to get a distinct message across. The nature of professional bodybuilding can have some extreme consequences and Feroce hopes to get that across to those who will listen. Feroce issued a warning to young up and comers who are looking to get into the game.
A Warning
“Young men out there, this is all a personal decision for you. I’m going to tell you, steroids will f**k you up, just like any drug. Any drug out there is designed for you to like it. It’s going to meet with your personality, cup your balls, and hold onto you,” said Feroce.
“Steroids are not a joke. This is a personal life decision that everybody has to make… I’m not your dad, I’m not your best friend, I’m the motherf**ker that’s already lived through it. I’ve done enough wild s**t in my life to know what I’m supposed to do, what I’m not supposed to do.”
