Was Dallas mccarver using vastly more than most pros?

Or did he just get unlucky with genetics? (hereditary heart problems, bodies lack of tolerance to abuse of supraphysiological amounts of exogenous hormones etc)

People worked out that the dosages of test he was using from the results of his autopsy equated to around 10 grams weekly. And that was just testosterone, not counting the grams upon grams of other chit he was sticking in his body weekly

Does make you think if most of these other guys are doing the same thing, but their bodies are just better equipped to deal with the abuse, in a way that he wasn't

If I remember correctly the immediate cause of death was that he messed up on his insulin dosage and went into a coma. Essentially suffocated to death as all his vital functions slowed down. That really doesn't have anything to do with massive amounts of anabolics-any diabetic could make the same mistake.

That theory was debunked

Cause of death was massive heart attack, (heart was closer to 1kg in weight, almost 3x the average)

It was just incidental that he happened to be eating when it occurred
