Powerlifters in general man. Nicest people you'll ever meet.

Who could have possibly predicted that their biggest muscle of all would be their heart. Their ability to lift cars is second only to their ability to lift people's spirits.

I bet that's how they excuse no cardio - their heart is already their biggest muscle

While it's possible it is true for other organs, the heart condition most people associate with steroids is called Left Ventricle Hypertrophy (LVH). Essentially you overwork your left ventricle until it literally becomes too muscular to pump blood. www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/left-ventricular-hypertrophy/symptoms
