Damn that sucks. Thanks, Curt!


IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Frank Hillebrand suffered a heart attack at Gold's Gym Lake Mead location. They tried to resucitate him with CPR and adrenaline. Unfortunately, all lifesaving efforts failed.
He was born in 1965 which would make him 45 or 46.
RIP Frank Hillebrand.

^ Prince, I met Hillebrand at the 1992 Arnold Classic. You attended that one, too?
He was in one of Jay Culter's DVDs as well. I forget which one.
This bodybuilder was one of my favorites back in the day. RIP Frank Hillebrand.
Thought I'd enlarge these two attachments...

At least he died doing what he loved. A shame that it was at such a young age though.

sorry for the re-post I never saw this one...
when the autopsy results come in I'll let you guys know what they say...
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.




That's awful. He had a very aesthetic physique. I'm wondering if it was enlarged heart. Soemtimes that happens and the conductivity gets screwed up. They end up dieing not from stroke of plaque occlusion but from electrical dysfunction. If my suspicion is correct I think it's pretty rare.

Terrible. Was he married with kids?
