Gordon Ryan undergoes insane physical decline due to serious health issues

[Sasha]

That's the reality of physical inactivity ; and keep in mind he's still a young man.

It gets even worse as you get older. I often saw old people in nursing homes, still able to walk perfectly (although slowly, obviously), fall someday and break their leg, typically femoral neck.
They get hospitalized, often with surgeries, arthroplasties ; and because of that, they are stuck in bed for so long that their muscle mass melts like ice under the sun.
Recovering the ability to walk after that is either a grueling process, or plain unrealistic.

From there, a lot of those old folks just let themselves go, to try and leave this world, because of crushing depression, other health problems, and the terrible feeling to be a burden for their family.

Sorry for that off-topic, but if I can recommend one thing : don't let your old people walk in shitty worn out shoes/slippers. Nothing worse than losing your autonomy.

We have litterature to prove that bacteria on the skin changes on athletes who take AS. When you add antibiotics on top of that, the outcome is quite clear.

Wait a minute. For staph there's no significant difference between Steriod using athletes and clean athletes. There's only a significant difference between athletes and non-athletes and the study suggests that it may be due to skin exposure to the exercise equipment.

The present study found a higher rate of S. aureus positive cultures in the athletes compared to the controls. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the culture results between the two studied athletic groups; it may suggest that using AAS has no role in S. aureus colonization.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Have you?

Yeah. I used to be involved in filmmaking, specifically martial arts for stage and screen. He was trying to break into acting.

He is a massive dickhead and incredibly insecure.

Sorry, the link was to an old study. I was supposed to link an another one. Let me check and find it again.

 

[doggo]

Liver and kidneys ok mate? yeah?

Seems like the guy has abused the hell out of some supplements for sure. Not everyone can handle that over time.

He's also in a pretty decent shape in the first pic, looks natty and pretty fine to me.

 

[facejam]

All be recovered once he's back to sipping on his own secret juice.

 

[Black0ut]

He needs Costa’s recipe for that good good.

 

[linvillegorge]

Cool. Now he looks like a normal in shape human instead of roided to the gills.

 

[sherdogwantedtonamemekiki]

Yeah. I used to be involved in filmmaking, specifically martial arts for stage and screen. He was trying to break into acting.

He is a massive dickhead and incredibly insecure.

Lol, of course. Break into acting. I bet he's about as good as Meghan Fox. Lol

 

[sherdogwantedtonamemekiki]

With Danaher it's imo most unmasking when he forces words as cronyism ...inI to sentences but doesn't really get the context. I once "translated" 5min of an interview with him and he just spoke gibberish. He is a pseudophilosiohical bullshitter but BJJ with it's cult like mentality works for him.

I can't stand the guy and eventually the pendulum will swing the other way with normies. A while back when the Danaher Death Squad was a thing, everyone in my BJJ class would be talking about how smart he is, while I'd be making fun of how he just talks and talks. Now everyone seems to feel the same way, where he's just some douche that like the smell of his own farts.

 

[Sasha]

Yeah there's a gym in the same city as me where just about everyone seems to be on the sauce. The coach is very high level but most of them are just juicing to compete in local competitions.

It sucks because everybody is gonna tell you that, no matter where you train at, EVERYONE is juicing. It may be true, or not, but I can imagine young males, trying to fit in, then hearing that... It's obvious they will be easily influenced. If I had to do a wild guess, I'd say that juicing from a young age is also a lot worse for your long-term health.

 

[DragoonC]

His BJJ knowledge truly is legendary but the secret juice takes its toll in the long run. I also don't think it's healthy to see yourself in the mirror looking like a god from Olympus. The real normal will seem less than so.

 

[listrahtes]

I love how every single time a steroid user has a health problem people jump on the "it's the steroids" wagon.

Dude got sick, so he had to stop training and dropped the gear, so he obviously downsized. He doesn't even look bad.

What happened with him seems quite different. He was "sick " for years and that started magically the same time he went from 170 to 230 of sculpted greek god. Despite medication it did not get better all these years while he was taking PED like candy. Most possible the doctors told him for a long time he has to get of his ped train because thats whats actually causing it and now there was no more time left. Thats why he is now off the PED and now he can get better or maybe damage is permanent.

HGH f.e. increases neoplastic colony polyps, it can alter your whole hepatic drug metabolism ...etc.

He spins this into some weak ass self victimizing idiotic story about Antibiotics being the reason (he would be DEAD without antibiotics) which is quite funny when he always rambles about suffering in silence like a man while gossiping like the worst of them via social media.

 

[Sasha]

As a side note, Gordon blaming the antibiotics, saying they are a curse (while also acknowledging they saved his life), shows a total lack of perspective IMO.

Antibiotics are arguably the most useful discovery ever made by humanity. We ruined it by overusing it (misusing would be the better word), with a shit ton of ATB-resistant bacteria now.

Yes it has side effects, especially on the digestive tract, but you don't get them prescribed to you for no reason. The number of lives antibiotics saved are humongous.

They raised, just by themselves, global life expectancy by nearly ten years.

I know he's in a bad place, but have some respect for fucking antibiotics

All hail the life mushroom.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Not my favourite personality in combat sports, but I wish him well

He doesn't look good right now, hope he he recovers

 

[jenst]

If he would strike a pose he would actually look better now.
Fuck that stupid roid look.

 

[KungFuCow]

Having just finished up a 6 month antibiotic course and spending 2 days in the hospital from the CDiff I developed, I feel his pain.

 

[shunyata]

From hulk to husk. That's a freaky transformation. The only thing that confirms it's the same person is his tattoos. Antibiotics doesn't do that to the body but going off PEDS probably does.

Actually being really sick is the #1 way to lose weight fast. AIDS patients can lose weight so fast it would make obese people jealous.

Allegedly he had a drug resistant infection for months, the antibiotics wouldn't cause the weight loss per se, but a long infection with nausea and difficulty eating can definitely cause extreme weight loss. I've seen big dudes who had severe covid lose 70-80 lbs while being in the ICU for a few months.


Now, having your immune system suppressed by PEDs certainly won't help with fighting the infection off. But a serious infection can cause massive weight loss in even as little as a month or two. Particularly if he's been fasting due to no appetite, nausea, and extreme throat pain making it difficult to swallow.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Oof -- hope to see him back well and recovered, regardless of competition.

When something legal happens, all of sherdog are lawyers.

When something medical happens, all of sherdog are doctors.

That's why I always come here for all my advice.
