In this iTunes episode your hosts Stevesmi and Da Mobster have a look back at the life and death of 2017 Arnold winning IFBB Pro Cedric aka 'The One' McMillan. We discuss:
• How he died, aged 44, and what we know so far
• His leaving behind a wife and 4 children
• Being 6'1 and 290+ and born in 1977.
• His multiple health issues: including but not limited to constant hiccups, being unable to keep food down, losing weight, breathing,ulcers, COVID-19, heart issues, hand surgery, pneumonia and being on life support and the effect that had.
• His still being a serving member of the military - as a Sergeant first class and instructor – complete with a tour in Iraq.
• How he, like many 'Iron Head' troops made equipment from scrap wood and metal to carry on training even in the desert
• The use of by serving members and testing for PEDs in the military
• His having to kinda train in secret as a young boy, making do and the foundation this may have given to his physique.
• Why and how he was popular with fans and athletes alike
• His having fun with Arnold and his appreciation of and by other legends in the sport
• The why and how of his NOT being scoped by docs due to the risk because of his poor heart function.
• His being stressed by the effects of his health on his career
• The importance of heart health, being open and honest with medical staff and taking time out to get checked up on properly vs allowing our drive and occasional obsessions to allow us to ignore serious and on-going medical conditions.
• The impact of his death on the sport, his fellow athletes and any legacy he has. Stevesmi made a point to say that he will be missed and wishing the Evolutionary.org family wishes he'd have had the chance to interview him and get to know him better.
• And, as always, we look at the kind of PEDs a bodybuilder like Cedric would have used
