Bit of a shock. Used to see the guy working out at the Fourways Virgin Active quite often.

Work stress, I guess.

 

[MrG]

ouch. That was sudden. Poor guy. Thoughts are with him.

 

[DJ...]

Yeah heard that on Radio this afternoon. I hope he gets well soon. And he seems to be in pretty good shape as well...

 

[PPC_SouthAfrica]

That is very sudden, he is such a great guy met him a couple of times, hope he has a speedy recovery!!!!

 

[AutoX]

Good luck Mark, may God be with you!!!

 

[Zenbaas]

Also hope he recovers. Hope this isn't related with him taking all those USN products way back when(and some other unmentionables as well) he was doing promo's for them.

Thats why i dont gym!

You dont gym because you visit too many prostitutes...

 

[marine1]

Maybe other things contributed......Too much jolling perhaps?

I have personally used some of the USN range and some of the effects are rather scary, depends on the product. Especially that Phedra XT. Lets just say that the heart cant handle the pace that those pills make it go. Its even worse if anyone has known heart problems or problems in the family. Its like taking speed...

So it may very well be as a result thereof

Get well soon!

Heard him on 702 today, does not drink - does not smoke - very healthy guy. Maybe it was that crap USN stuff???

 

[killadoob]

was he the guy using all that USN stuff? might explain a few things

What's up with the supplement bashing?

Apparently it's more likely to be a genetic connection. His old man kapped his first heart attack at 40

I just do not trust USN, heard very bad reports about it.

Well yes i was referring to their product, which i know is ***, Period. Even if some of them work now, i will never use their stuff again. But i was actually referring to him taking clenbuterol(if i remeber right) to cut when he was promoting the USN stuff. Yes, i know this would be ethically wrong of him to promote a product which only really did 1/4 of the actual work so to speak, but i've heard it from quite a few sources in the industry(USN reps themselves) and other people who's word i trust.

 

[Nicci]

yeah, USN is bad. especially the phedra XT (cut). Shame man. Mark, speedy recovery mate!

I've never liked USN. Their products just seemed low quality compared to some of the other stuff I used. Recently somebody also told me they've had law suits against them for lying about what they put into their products. Anybody know about this?

One guy I know said there's nothing wrong with USN and that anybody spending more on other products is wasting their money.

So tell him to keep on taking it then.Their bulking product is nothing more than flavoured selati sugar. Their products are crap. Their stuff isn't quality tested either like some of the other supplement companies in SA. They were being sued as far as im aware, and there was that whole issue with their weight loss bars last year that had more calories than a whole chocolate slab. If they only spent more money on their actual products and less on the flashy bottles and advertising.
All they are is a very well oiled marketing machine!

doesnt matter is your the fittest guy in the world or a fat slob. no one is immune from a heart attack. If you have a defect heart anything can happen. I'm not saying he did, but your changes of having a heart attack are very much less the fitter you are.
