PHOENIX – Charlie Aragon never thought COVID-19 could get him. At least not in the way that it did.
Pictures taken prior to his illness show Aragon had the physique of a bodybuilder, a testament to his favorite activity: weightlifting.
Aragon has always been devoted to gym workouts that include bench presses, squats and dead lifts and kept up a high protein, low carb diet.
But he's not lifting any weights right now, and most of his muscle tone is gone. All he can muster are daily walks near his home.
Aragon lost nearly 60 pounds off his 5-foot-9, 247-pound frame when he was in the hospital and though it's been two months since his release, he still struggles with weakness and has not regained all the weight he lost.

So he didnt work out for a while and his muscle turned to fat.

Dealer must have been hospitalized

Less the effects of Covid and more about not doing the juice while in the hospital.

One of the two people I knew with the Covid went from 245 to 190 in a ~7 week span.
As much as this board would like to pretend it’s just a big conspiracy to restrict muh rights and freedoms, this is an incredibly nasty virus on the people that do get the brunt of it.

So he’s basically at a better weight for a 5’9” frame.

Not much of a bodybuilder.

Nobody is pretending that the virus doesn't suck for the few for whom it sucks.
Also, the same is true for lots of other common illnesses.

Say what?!

It is a fact that any steroid significantly limits your immune response therefore making you more susceptible to any viral or bacterial infection.

It made his arse wear a shirt.
Posted on 7/6/20 at 3:04 pm to hikingfan
So what was he really sick with? 60+ pounds of muscle in two months??
Posted on 7/6/20 at 3:06 pm to hikingfan
The guy was pounding food, drugs, and weights to maintain that 247. Remove all 3 and he deflates. Why is this newsworthy?
