Seth Feroce Reacts to Death of Jo Lindner aka ‘Joesthetics’: ‘Another Good Guy Gone Way Too Soon’
German bodybuilder Jo Lindner, popularly known as ‘Joesthetics,’ was celebrated for his insanely shredded physique and crazy striations. His tragic passing rocked the bodybuilding world earlier this month. In a recent video uploaded on YouTube, Seth Feroce shared his reaction to the death of ‘Joesthetics.’
Canadian IFBB Pro Seth Feroce first gained attention for his impressive muscle mass, size, and build in the early 2000s. While he hasn’t competed in several years, he still has his finger on the pulse of bodybuilding. He’s known for his outspoken personality and isn’t afraid to ruffle some feathers with his hot takes on a range of topics related to fitness, especially steroid use.
In Sep. 2022, Feroce issued a stark warning against the overuse of Trenbolone by younger bodybuilders, with some taking upwards of 1,000 milligrams of the harsh substance. He reported positive updates about his health and admitted he regrets not competing more, leaving the door open for a potential comeback. Then, he crushed a brutal arm workout showing off his jacked package in Oct. 2022.
Earlier this year, Feroce opened up on his ambitions to cut down the fat he had put on over the last three years. He expressed his affinity for bodybuilding and declared plans to get back to his best form by getting super shredded. Next, he collaborated with Fitness Olympia winner Missy Truscott for a challenging shoulder workout two months ago.
Social media sensation Joesthetics gained attention for his symmetrical package with a ripped midsection and freakish striations. He offered fitness-based content infused with a touch of comedy. His training clips and skits lifting weights quickly gained him over 9 million followers on Instagram.
Joesthetics opened up on a health scare he faced after taking diuretics and his experience using insulin last month. He reasoned that diuretics could result in extreme dehydration and revealed the craziest steroid cycle he ever used in competition. He joined forces with powerlifting sensation Larry Wheels weeks later to help Wheels sharpen his posing skills ahead of his highly anticipated bodybuilding debut.
On July 1, Lindner’s girlfriend announced he passed away at 30 years old because of an aneurysm. Members of the community rushed in with their support and paid tributes online. There was speculation about what caused Lindner’s death at such a young age with some blaming it on the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine after Lindner revealed ‘heavy metals,’ ‘particles,’ and clots were found in his blood.
Seth Feroce Reacts to Death of ‘Joesthetics’ aka Jo Lindner
In a recent YouTube video, Seth Feroce reacted to the passing of ‘Joesthetics,’ aka Jo Lindner.
Feroce was on vacation when he heard the news and although he did not know him, he felt the impact Jo had.
“Another bodybuilder’s dead, Joe Lindner, Joesthetics, another one that sucks. Another guy gone way too soon, another good guy gone way too soon,” continued Feroce. “I never met Joe. I didn’t know him personally but I never met one person that had anything bad to say about that man.
“We were on vacation when he passed. I’m not going to lie, it stopped me in my f**king tracks like oh b***h, Joe was 30 years old.”
He doesn’t believe there’s reason to speculate whether steroids had anything to do with it.
“I don’t care what you do it’s your life. But what I do care about is whenever people talk sh*t, make a bunch of claims that they don’t know f**k all about about another man’s life whenever he’s passed.
“I don’t know if [steroids] had anything to do with his death, not going to speculate because I haven’t heard anything behind the scenes.”
“People can speculate all they want. They can say there’s a reason that he passed and is that reason ever going to be found out? We don’t know nor does it really matter because there’s another good man gone from the planet.”
Feroce lauded Joesthetics for being one of the nicest people in the industry and inspiring others to better themselves.
“We are in this community to become better people. We don’t pass judgment on other people because of what they do with their lives. When someone chooses to do whatever they want to in their life, that’s what they do. With Joe like I said I never heard a bad thing about that man. In an industry full of fake, ignorant, dick, douchebag people, to not hear one bad thing about that man, says a lot about his character and the people he influenced and why so many people loved him.”
“A lot of young men want to become better versions of themselves because of Joe.”
Feroce paid his tributes to Jo with some of his favorite things about him.
“What boggles our mind is people that don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t ever do anything bad, they do exactly what they are supposed to, they are perfect in every sense of the word, they eat healthy and do all these things, and then somehow come down with breast cancer or lung cancer or get hit by a train or a bus, something just takes their life way too soon. These things happen in life.
“One thing guaranteed is we’re going to die in life. Just a matter of if there’s any cool stories to tell about you when you’re gone. With Joe, I’ll remember Joe for his alien gains and wow’d look, for his funny comedic videos, and also for giving sound bro science advice.”
“Whenever bad sh*t happens because of some of the things you do that’s just how it goes. You can’t cry about it. It’s sad, it’s gut-wrenching especially because death does not care whether you are a good person or not.”
Joesthetics served as an inspiration to millions of younger fitness fans and his legacy will continue to live on the internet.
