Kinda sick the fiancée, while doing a documentary on the death of her fiancé who died from steroids wears a “got tren” hat on like what 🤨 that’s like going on a documentary about heroin killing someone and wearing a “got fent” hat
Yeah its just a tribute to the attitude Bostin had. It does seem a little silly but I think she just thinks he would like it if he could see it lol idk.
Nah, I totally agree, totally tone deaf...
The whole family seemed unhinged to a degree
@@BillBiggs1 this sport messes good people up yes he made the choice
Type of humour he had. Probably doing it in his honour
I can go the rest of my life without hearing that fuckin song again
Yeah it's so fucking annoying.
The worst song i have ever heard. They could have just put a damn piano instrumental besides some woman going OH OHHH OHH OH OHHH
I was thinking the same , that chick singing was TOO MUCH. Why was it all through the video??
@@abdieltorres6134 the song is a tribute to bostin loyd. i think its called get big or die trying
@@ryanadonis I can respect that !!
The parents speaking like they didn’t lead him down that path 😂😂😂
Absolutely agree….. it’s a tragedy.
It's a complete mystery how the child of body-obsessed parents became body-obsessed to the point of early death.
Come on bro. His parents are suffering enough. I'm sure they blame themselves already, no need to rub it in.
@@listinglosangeles7245 AGREED
It is like nowadays, think to poor children of woke people, they try to become what their parents, especially mother, want them to be...
His mom isnt natural though…. She claims natty tho… Bostin said on an interview that shes a fake natty.
She didnt do half as much as he did though.
WOW, Why would she keep telling people if it were true or not!?! She obviously is intelligent and wants to make money....
MIND YO FN BUSINESS .
You can see the effects of the juice in her face...
@@user-jm7kc4bm8mshe's still a liar
Duh
The ending with his mother having a conversation with a stuffed animal was bizarre.
literally shows why bostin might have had issues. if you watch her interviews youll understand what he went through.
I agree it was bizarre but I think it's the way she is coping with his death. Once you lose someone so close she's clearly still in mourning and talking to that stuffed animal of his is keeping her going to spread his message.
@@Siciliano22came to say the same. Yes it's a bit strange, but once you experience a tragic loss...it doesn't seem so strange at all. My mom definitely visits me, although not in puppet form lol
Literally every time his mother opened her mouth was bizarre.
It was sad. Losing a child must be the most painful thing ever
I'm a nobody and back in 2010 he added me out of nowhere on FB and when I accepted the friend request he messaged me saying that "bro you have good genetics". He and I messaged and talked about bodybuilding for a couple hours after.
That’s amazing man
@@Lukelloydlifts Its amazing? What is? Talking to boston about bodybuilding lol
@@thetoad7367 Bostin.
he was always a good listener
You are too red and resemble that "crab" build imo. He was lying to you apparently... Or you had a connect for some KCGH (King Crab Growth Hormone)
He was average BB at best, a social media BB, the way they talk about him and glorifying his addiction is sickening. He caught the social media ride when it was exploding, this guy made horrible choices and chose to pay by his life, a terrible example to young men.
True. Also, he coached other lifters. So just imagine his recommendations... However, in Bostin's defense he was clearly raised in an environment since he was a baby to be very susceptible to this deadly lifestyle. He grew up around drug abuse. Very sad
@@beewalk34Boston had his clients doing normal things. He was only like that with himself
@@doyouevenliftt-br5db There is no normal thing with bodybuilding. Use is abuse, period. I’ve done cycles myself and am on TRT, so I speak from experience.
@@doyouevenliftt-br5db he was addicted....we owned Gyms we were business family..the father did everything before he was born
Average? I don't think so.. guy has nice calves. good size.. I mean I think he has above average genetics. Not like OLYMPIA level.. Or I guess we will never know? He was 29... He could have packed on even more muscle from like 30-to 32 and start doing the open who knows. We wont know.
Creepy ending. That woman is completely spun.
I agree she definitely seems odd
Yeah the hand puppet was a little much.
Expecting rich to start talking.
she lost her only child of course she is spun
@@LeroidFootlong😂😂😂
The music was a really poor choice . And to play it over and over and over again, made me nauseated .
I'm done after 15 minutes from the music alone.
My bad, 7 minutes
it is a good song written about Bostin he played it to much
Good job Mom and Dad, you were at least 50% responsible.
The dad was in total denial right to the end.
Like 97%
@@whoswho6641 I took him to the Doctors he was messed up in the head A mothers worst nightmare When you known he was going to die
Bostin didn't fall far from the tree....both his dad and mom used the juice. When you grow up around this lifestyle and you see your parents on PED's, I think you get numb to the fact of the potential dangers and then the mind games and addiction start to kick in.
@@georgecarousos6735 great point
@@auralplex wrong
@@marieraia5932 He was only stating basic facts. He grew up in a bodybuilding household and became accustomed to the concept of using enhancing drugs for competition. You may have tried to keep him away from it, but kids are perceptive. Then, once he started that path, his addictive side took over and he was hooked. He demonstrated all the signs of addiction with his use. I think that’s all OP was saying. No disrespect to you or anyone in Bostin’s family. Addiction kills.
I did over 100 shows naturally for the ABA. I was miss natural universe, polygraph, and Blood Test.
@marieraia5932 your own son called you a fake natty in an interview. Have some respect
'he was the best father and loved his family.' pretty sure a good father wants to hang around for their kid and not be a drug addict.
Just because youre an addict doesnt mean you dont hang around your children or love them. I raised 3 successful kids and am 2 years from retirement in my 40s ive made more money that I ever thought I would. Ive been an addict for 25 years.
He just said that because he knows that's the right thing to say... But yes his actions showed us that he really didn't care enough.
@@Jeff-sp7bg Big difference between a "functional addict" and "death-seeking addict" You know that, so stop playing dumb.
Addiction is a terrible disease. Imagine knowing you’re in kidney failure and still use the same drugs that are killing you. I hope someone sees this story and it sets them straight. 5 years sober myself. RIP Bostin.
Right! And the crazy thing is, at first his Kidneys weren't so bad that he couldn't have improved their function, back to the point where they were effectively normal if he stayed clean and took care of his health. But he refused to stop using drugs. Like, one would figure, the first sign of Kidney issues means it's time to quit. But that is not the mind of the addict.
Guy was injecting so many drugs. Rich and Bostin were not going to live a long life and evidently checked out early.
Addiction is a SOB of a disease. I’ve seen alcoholics chug vodka going thru liver failure. I’ve seen dope heads seek out bad batches of dope that people died/ODd off of because it’s probably very strong. Seen crackheads resist arrest, evade the cops piling a shit ton more felony charges on top of whatever they had already because they wanted to sneak one last hit of that rock. Addiction is a tough one, and a lot of it is the instant gratification of the high, the alcoholic knows he’s dying, but he feels so shitty from withdrawals after waking up that he’d rather chug that vodka, feel better, and deal with the repercussions later. It’s fucked up and myself going thru it and been thru it, I wish everyone the best luck on the road to recovery ❤️🩹
addiction is not a disease brotha.
@@SJ.Sharkstero It is though. Are you going to tell someone who got cancer because they smoked they don’t have a disease?
wtf 5:48 why were they selling pictures of a six year old in only a speedo. Idc what anyone says that shit is weird.
That’s what I’m saying
10000%
..truly…couldn’t believe what i was hearing..
@@kramer1372 he did it for charity
Facts
The background track is annoying
agreed, wtf is with that
You're not joking. Fkn hell.
Terrible music.. annoying.. too loud
Really poor choice of music. It kept on repeating over and over to the point I stopped watching . Too bad for that!
So bad
To have watched him online do this to himself in real time feels very strange, because the end result was totally predictable yet it’s still hard to believe he’s gone.
In all his videos people would be commenting how he was going to die early if he’s not careful and you just keep watching and it unfolds in front of your eyes…. Crazy
u saw him injecting insane doses of drugs day in and day out and cant believe he is gone epic lols
@@kerpal321 So, you missed what I said in the few words before that then.
yeah, "rip," as in "Real, Idiotic Person."

Remember his come up and wasn’t surprised when I heard his end. Poor guy everyone knew it was just a matter of time.

RIP BOSTIN LLOYD 💓 🙌💪 🕊️
He knew this last stuff crashed his kidneys, yet he continued. This is not about bodybuilding, it's about addiction. It's like people drink alcohol for enjoyment and only a minority gets addicted and dies.
thank you
A drug addict that is being glorified like he achieved some great things. He is the perfect example of what young men should NEVER EVER do. This is what vain can lead to.
He changed bodybuilding for the better bro.
@@Jeff-sp7bgerm how. Pro builders are still hooked on gear
@@BillBiggs1 Pro bodybuilding has and always will be hooked on gear. Just like strongman, just like most of PL. It's part of the game, play it or not it'll always be there. Awareness and risk mitigation and education is key, which Bostin played a major role in.
@@baadtripz437 When steroids are done in moderation I guess it’s okay ish but going to the extremes of Ronnie Coleman is just not aesthetically pleasing, I mean those bubble guts they try to suck in, it’s not a pretty look
he was the first to tell it all yes never do what he did as he said He is talking though the grave , he was not vain he was addicted Bodybuilding shows want freakier the bigger the better and people are dying
I remember when Dave Palombo warned Boston in an interview that he’s going to kill himself if he keeps running those dosages
Do you also remember when that rat *palumbo blocked Bostin from getting the kidney supplement from his website?
Dont kid yourself, Dave was an enabler and was likely the person that introduced him to drugs
Agreed. Dave often would really get a kick out of hearing about insane cycles. Laughing about it. Not just with Bostin, also Nasser, Jay, etc. He was the father of Palumboism for a reason @@solidsnake7167
Stop blaming others… dude made his own choices
@@edjohn4590 what 16yr old does steroids. Its lunacy. No shit he made his own bed, but to act like his weird parents and Dave wasn’t responsible is dumb at best
A drug addict who chose drugs over his family. He was honest about it, so we should be also.
When his mother said he was a great father and partner.. Are you kidding me? If he was a great father and partner he wouldn't have killed himself with drugs and left behind a wife and kid that's going to grow up without a dad now.
Gotta remember how low the standards are nowadays. Any "hot influencer" guy who stays around when the kid is born and doesn't somehow abuse of the girl is a "Great Father and Partner" 🤣.
Its odd the mum narrates his death on video so clinically.
who better I felt the pain and always will Losing Bostin is the most horrible thing a mother has to go through
@@marieraia5932 Yes, my apologies for unthoughtfill comment about a mum.
@@GuyGraham-r3w thank you
His fiance is wearing a hat that says "Got Tren?"... 🙄
Yeah, it's his old merch.
She knows what she wants
He injected steroids in the first couple of minutes while wearing a shirt that said “100% Natural”. LOL 😂
@@blastypowpow that was Bostin
@@marieraia5932 He must have had a sarcastic sense of humor. I like it.
I would run so fast if my doctor looked like that. Truly terrifying
That music is infuriating
Such a sad tale
Bostins life was like a Greek tragedy, where all the pitfalls can be seen in advance but he could still not stop him self falling victim to them.
The most shocking aspect is that he paid the ultimate price
That mother is abysmal. The very last thing ANY parent should do is allowing their kid to become interested in bodybuilding, do anything bodybuilding related and even less expose them to bodybuilding in a positive light. There isn’t a more unhealthy kind of activity one could do, as bodybuilding WILL turn you into a steroid suction pipe and lower your lifespan immensely… and for what? To be “big” to the point of disgust and strike some dumb poses in a thong while slathered with grease?
It’s only marginally better than being addicted to hard drugs.
Well that’s a pretty blanket statement. Millions of people in the world use bodybuilding as a positive focus in their life and a positive way to keep their mental state right. Don’t let the small percentage of losers make you feel like it’s all bad.
Bodybuilding and boxing saved my life
@@robk5745 working out is not equal to bodybuilding as a sport. This is very unhealty sport even without PEDs you starve yourselves to extreamly low body fat and cut water. Your hormones got to shit you have no libido no energy and cuting water and electrolite imbalance can leed to heart isses now or later in life. And with drugs it is even more dangerouse.
Speak for yourself OP. I was addicted to opiates as a teenager and was told I would only see another year if I didn't put on weight. That ignited my bodybuilding journey.
It saved my life.
Average cookie cutter response
This guy had a beautiful wife, a child, and threw away his life to flex his oiled body in front of a mostly male audience. What an absolutely ridiculous tragedy.
AllenCarrol
Agreed, he was suffering from mental health and addiction at the same time.
There was seemingly no way back for him, a real sad tale
his wife is just as much to blame, as she married him knowing full well what he was about. what is the point of having kids in such a situation? it's now as if he was a combat soldier on duty in a war zone; that i could understand. the kid(s) should sue their mother for criminal neglect.
His wife did the same, how do you think they met? A bodybuilding show
I haven’t seen all of this yet so I don’t know how it’s presented, but Bostin wasn’t a competive bodybuilder beyond his teen years/early 20’s. And even then not much. He took gear because he liked it. It’s not that rare a thing. Once guys have trained and lived on gear they struggle to back to normal. Bostin was an extreme example in that he was using super high doses of toxic compounds at times. But this isn’t a story about a guy pursuing a bodybuilding career.
Get Big or Die Trying is just it. There will be those who take life for granted and will never stop and think about what's more important. To them winning a trophy or what others think of them is what matters; in the end, it never really mattered, and the ones who truly loved you for who you were are the ones that suffer. Say no to drugs everyone and lead a humble life that is far more respected and honorable.
Bostin was the ONLY dude in the industry at the time keeping it 100% real. He made Piana look like a boyscout lol.
It’s funny him and Rich piano were very good friends. Rich was really a good guy. He knew Bostin when he was in diapers and Rich would train in our gym in Boston was in the daycare. That’s how far they go back and then at the end they’re both dead.
Sometimes its better to hold your tongue
A whistleblower typically does not engage in the activities they are blowing the whistle on. Exposing the truth by all means - but the term whistleblower not entirely appropriate here.
100% A Whistleblower always ceases to engage on those things BEFORE they blow the whistle. That's the only reason intelligent people take them seriously. This guy was a total joke, which is exactly what is popular on social media lol.
Normally i could care less about hearing of someone passing i never met in my life. But bostin was a good dude and his honesty about everything in his life was admirable. Most people are not honest like he was. He seemed like he never wanted to keep secrets especially if you watch his interviews. Dude was an open book
This is what you get when you're not honest with each other. If it was my son I wouldn't call him a great dude, I'd just go: "Son, you need some serious help, fuck's the matter with you?"
and i did
He had average genetics(like most of us) and tried to make up for it with peds. I don’t mean that to be disrespectful just honest about why he lost his life. I just wish he would’ve laid off when it was clear the IFBB wasn’t in the cards for him. Rip.
Lol did you say average? 90% of the population could take everything he took if not more and still not look the way he did. His body responded insanely well to the compounds. Educate yourself on “average genetics” in this sport lol.
@@nbanflmixtapes3330 Dude the reason he kept blasting over and over thinking that more is better is because he though the pro we're taking astronomical amounts of gear. Which is not the case. Even Lee Priest said it at some point 'He can't make up for his shit genetics with lots of drugs'. Look at the videos, he shurk a lot on just TRT.
@@darkvenomancer123 Yea he ended up realizing this when he had already damaged his health unfortunately. IF you actually observe his knowledge he feed to his clients.. He actually knew how to go about it in a safe way with light to moderate doses. Unfortunately he had such an addiction to drugs in general (Bodybuilding Drugs) That he still was doing crazy shit too himself with high doses of Peds, Dnp, Peptides, Insulin. Of course he shrunk a lot on TRT.. Even with elite genetics you cant keep that mass on TRT.
@@nbanflmixtapes3330 His genetics were "average". It's really simple. If he was above average and taking all those drugs, he would have been on the Olympia stage. Any average joe that shoves 13 GRAMS/Week inside them can reach "fitness influencer" level. That's the sad and unfortunate truth. Educate yourself on how PEDs work before looking like a 💩 again lol
The part at the end with his mother and the goat puppet...
Holy cope.
That was one of the most incredible representations of serious grief... she is literally trying anything to move past it!
It was crazy to see. :(
yeh i didnt expect that, people deal with grief in there own ways
They say there is no worse pain than a mother losing her son.....
Sounds like his mom should of been honest about her use! Mom and dad need to accept some responsibility!! Ps the music was annoying otherwise the documentary was great!
his mom is crazy and narcissistic as shit. she went on Palumbo's channel to talk about Boston, but ended up talking about her self the whole time)))
Lol fr
@@ashog1426 I was honest I was Miss Natural Universe I took some small NPP later in life
@@marieraia5932 Wrong , you probably abused var with primo and you killed ur son.
@@Mr_Hertz_Donut Well his dad had a steroid addiction problem when he was younger, apparently. So if anything, I think his dad probably had the bigger influence of the two. Also the giving him back his steroids after he confiscated them when Bostin turned 18 was a little irresponsible.
The body building world is a really strange world. A really weird community of fitness zealots. I was called to an event in phoenix as a paramedic for a man down with seizures. He was a contestant in a bodybuilding show at the civic center. Big show and we were backstage treating the guy and all I could think was. This is SO weird. And I’m a weight lifter but this was way beyond anything I’ve ever seen!
Steroids-driven body building is anything but fitness.
Whatever it takes
Lol @@Jeff-sp7bg
Body Dysmorphia is a hell of a disease
💯
I like being light like a distance runner but with a barrel chest, focusing on my core aesthetic, it's addicting as hell, been going on a jog a days some days I feel like a 90 year old but I thought it out, I like hanging from a tree limb or the monkey bars and doing leg raises, strengthening your core your natural weightbelt is the ticket to help your spine
Body dysmorphia can really ruin your life. I’ve had it since I was a fat child. I’ve gotten in really good shape since then but I still won’t take my shirt off around others to this day.
@@goofjuice8067 i’m the same way. It’s all psychological. You never feel muscular enough.
Been working out since I was 13 and had lost my brother to steroid use.. I refuse to get into steroids because it's just a hole you will never be able to get out of. I like the natural gains and putting in the hardwork.
I remember when he first posted the original video of his daily life, was pretty surreal at the time because as stated nobody really had ever done that. Plenty of people were vlogging themselves at the gym and what not, but Bostin was the first to ever go the full in detail on camera.
It's obvious why body building is so attractive to so many people, myself included, but the fact we glorify things like Mr Olympia when SO many of not only the winners but the contestants, and not to mention those who ever even make it on stage, destroy their bodies instead of building them up. Mr Olympia is a testament to how you can be very sick on the inside but look 'good' on the outside.
Stay natural, it isn't worth it. Not only because of what happened to Bostin, but what happened to so many more known and unknown people just like him.
Can we just 💩 on this Documentary? I mean they the parents act like they weren't in this world and didn't encourage it. His legacy is a drug addict of Body Enhancing drugs.
Remember when the bodybuilding community was screaming "where are the bodies?"
It seems like the last ten years or so the death toll exploded. So many prominent steroid users (bodybuilders/influencers) have passed.
Don't worry, they always have an excuse. It wasn't the steroids it was the insulin, recreational drugs, diuretics ....etc etc. Steroids are healthy and never cause harm remember that
@@machinebuilder3535diuretics are more dangerous than steroids. That’s a fact. It puts so much strain on the heart.
@@SLF1990 I never said they weren't. It's funny how it's never the steroids though lol
We also are able to see and share it alot more because of social media
Its literally always been like this with the only difference now is being the prevalence of soical media and being able to post a video and it be viewed instantly. It seems more concentrated now but its really not. Its just more nobodies who died back then are now somebody on social media.
Dr.Klkin looks like the most unhealthiest doctor I've ever seen. 😮
I remmember he said for the longest time " bodybuilding is about who takes the most sht" then later he finally admitted its more about genetics , sadly by that time it was too late
Genetics give them the structure and potential, as well as training response, as well as hunger/satiety (dieting), as well as PED response and tolerance, so...
@@mcfarvo 100% ... also, would you say hyper PED response is top?
Ugh... even his girlfriend has that deep voice from drugs thing. Sad really and what's even sadder is that no one in the sport if fixing this.
I been in the bodybuilding scene since the 80's and have never heard of this guy. It's kind of hard for his mother to tell him to get off steroids when she is on them too. Lots of hypocrisy...
no you are wrong I started competing back in 1980 and now at 65 never did i get over 125 lbs
he did not die from steroids. he destroyed his kidneys because he injected a peptide That was supposed to kill fat too close to them. Aortic dissection is a serious condition that occurs when the inner layer of the aorta, the body's main artery, tears and blood flows between the layers of the aortic wall, forcing them apart. This can lead to aortic rupture or decreased blood flow to organs, which can be deadly. this is what he died of. and it's messed up because Palumbo and his mother knows this. Bostin Loyd Autopsy & Cause Of Death
It was initially assumed that a heart attack was to blame for Loyd's death due to him battling stage 5 kidney failure. However, it seems to be an aortic dissection that led to his untimely death. But it wasn't a heart attack. John Ritter had an aortic dissection, a tear in the main blood vessel coming out of the heart. He died a few hours later. don't worry Boston rest in peace I will tell the truth for you. Many celebrities have died from aortic dissections, including actors, musicians, and playwrights:
John Ritter: Hollywood actor and comedian who died from an aortic dissection in Los Angeles. His family established The John Ritter Foundation to raise awareness about aortic dissections and other aortic-related issues.
Alan Thicke: Hollywood actor who died from an acute aortic dissection after complaining of chest pains while playing hockey.
Lucille Ball: Actress who was diagnosed with a dissecting aortic aneurysm and had surgery to repair her aorta, but died days later.
Richard Biggs: Actor from Days of Our Lives and Babylon 5 who died in 2004 from complications from an aortic dissection.
Jonathan Larson: Playwright best known for the musical Rent who died in 1996 from an aortic dissection that may have been caused by undiagnosed Marfan Syndrome.
Vine Deloria Jr.
Andy Fletcher: Musician
Jun Fukamachi
An aortic dissection occurs when the inner wall of the aorta, the major artery that comes out of the heart, tears. This allows blood to leak from inside the aorta into the wall, which can weaken it and lead to rupture and sudden death. Aortic dissections are often mistaken for heart attacks and require immediate surgery. Despite quick diagnosis and surgery, mortality rates for acute aortic dissection can range from 19-32%.
Guess he would still be alive today had he not experimented with that particular peptide huh?? Seriously man you're intellect is 💯
maybe he should have kept his blood pressure in check. But I guess steroids had nothing to do with it xD
Yeah, I remember him talking about messing his kidney up with that experimental peptide.
"don't worry Boston test in peace I will tell the truth for you" -that's really kind mate 😊
Someone that actually followed Bostin and knows the real story great explanation this was my understanding too.
I was saddened, but not shocked. When someone is a friendly person, even when their vices kill them, it's sad. He was honest to a fault. It doesn't mean he was always correct, but he told everyone what he really thought. But he couldn't stop. For him, the idea of having a normal body was terrifying. It's a cautionary tale as well. Please avoid these drugs fellas.
I agree it’s a story to be told and to be learned by don’t make the same mistake. It is a mother’s worst nightmare, and it will be some other mothers worst nightmare.
I still remember that first video where he talked about his cycles and spawned the meme: 3cc. Bostin opened the floodgates. No one talked openly. I think in the end, Bostin was convinced that the pros were only good because of drugs, and that all the other aspects of the sport weren't important. I also believe Leo got into his head that he didn't need conventional therapies for his kidney disease. RIP Bostin.
yeah. i also remember back then people were saying he's gonna kill himself because he's abusing the drugs like crazy.
Facts.
I liked him but he was anti vaxine and got coivd and then die. If he took vaxine he will not got covid or much less and may be still die but live longer for sure. Covid was big stress on the heart and lungs for many peaople. I know guy whose wife was ant vaxine and he was 3 months i the hospital. Stupid peaople, this could be avoided at no cost.
@Bryanfrumps813 But..but...all these people here are saying how "great" he was for his "contributions to the sport". LOL they just in straight up denial and about how many people are ruining their lives before they even hit 20 b/c of this idiot glorifying everything.
And Leo is dead too, right? Not much longevity in his lifestyle
Sorry.. but for me he is just a drug user
His fiancée was gorgeous when she was younger. They both ruined their minds and bodies with tattoos and drugs as they got older. Sad situation.
There was one clip where he was talking about his erectile disfunction, and she was talking about the enhanced size of female clitorises and hair loss etc caused by female competitors taking androgenic compounds ets. Crazy sub-culture these two lived ...
that was the same woman!?!?! Jesus.
Yeah and he hooked up with bostins friends the day of his funeral
@@JohnsEyebrowshe did? How do you know ?
She's hot.
1. Palumbo genuinely gassed this man up the entire time and easily had a hand in his death.
2. Leo and longevity, the guy that keeps laughing at his foolishness, was stabbed to death in Thailand under suspicious circumstances. Karma?
3. The doctor is clearly on a serious trt protocol himself! He's roaded to the gills at 60-70 and his advice was pedestrian at best.
4. He's clearly dating palumbo's daughter which Dave doesn't even mention throughout his interview and she also is clearly roided to the gills!
5. Mom and dad are not taking accountability and they both have clearly experienced with peds themselves.
6. Could have gotten a better friend to interview besides the token black guy and he's clearly just winging it the whole time. 7.Production quality of this whole damn thing is complete garbage and you really could have had something here if you put a little more effort into it. Quite an interesting topic and this was kind of a half-assed effort with the same damn somber song playing in the background.
Nevertheless, Boston always carried himself as a pretty genuine guy throughout his life and him having to lose his life so young is a damn shame! May he rest in peace...
Got tren? … that isn’t Palumbos daughter dude figure out your shit.
@@Douggydrealer Trenything is possible?
So there isn't much information online and Bostin did say they weren't related but Dave was his Trainer so it's safe to assume that she was related to him in one way or another. They most likely met through Dave but that's just a theory! 🤷
@@theyarewhowethoughttheywere Not true Dave sad in iterview that she is not his daughter nor anyone from his familly, this is just coincidence and this is not uniqe surname.
Thats not Dave Palumbos daughter.
@@septv9995 First time watch through would allow one to at least make that assumption but I'm aware that she is not his daughter... Disappointingly enough because dammit she should be!
Making steroids illegal to prescribe in the 1990s was a major mistake. This is something people should be allowed to do under the care of their medical provider. If you can get a BBL to “look better” - which has a 1/1000 chance of DEATH, 100% should be able to get low to moderate dose PEDs while being closely monitored and tested regularly.
So sad he choose his ego over his child.
He was open and honest, yes, but also selfcentered for not being in his child's life anymore. He loved his muscles more than being a father.
I think it's very good to have this documentary about his life and what's going on in bodybuilding.
👏👏👏
Very sad and irresponsible. Garbage human, hope no one else repeats
It needs to be told to make other people think not to do the same thing
Yeah, I was sad that he thought of his muscles more than his child but he was in addiction and addiction is horrible. You do things that you don’t wanna do but you do them anyway cause your brain chemistry is so messed up from doing stuff in the first place.
Whatevrr it takes babe right? Babe?
Bostin was a great guy he didn't have to give me the time of day but he did and gave me a program for free when i was 19 because he said i had potential. Its a shame he died so young he's part of bodybuilding history weather people like it or not.
Love this. Thanks ceff.
John “Mountain Dog” Meadows, Rich Piana, Shawn Roden, Dallas McCarver, Boston Loyd... Sam Sulek is next!
Lol...by your name you're either a Arizona Cardinals fan or a Chicago Bears fan...great name lol
Bodybuilding really is a disgusting so called Sport..
the guys who are shocked by bostins passing are the same people who are going be in disbelief when sam sulek passes away after watching him eat boxes of donuts and chocolate milks for years while abusing PEDS epic lols
well only he knows wat PEDS hes taking
@@riverdean7 We can assume a lot based on how he look. However he trains so ego that he brake her tendens before he wreck his intestants. So this can acctuale help he get out of BB
That puppet scene at the end was tough! I appreciate the honesty and knowledge y’all gave us!
Bostin's honesty was certainly endearing. I enjoyed listening to him and wish he would have been open to listening to the advice of friends and professionals in healthcare. It was really hard to understand why he would not change, even when facing life threatening health issues. Anyhow, he will be remembered as a truly good person with unparalleled honesty and loyalty. RIP brother.
He was a drug addict pure and simple, he killed himself and doing it when you have a child is disgusting.
True
Couldn't agree more! His ego and pride means that his son will never have his father. He's so pathetic.
💯. Yet, all these simps on here are lifting him up saying how great he was. Key word "was"
@@bicjerm7509 Facts bro!! We shouldn't glorify horrible, unhealthy, and deadly behavior that will easily impact young kids who don't know any better. It will lead them to their deaths as well.
@@hotmealsonwheels4738 yessir!!👌🏼
i could be wrong, but i think his parents produced this as an attempt to help bostin's kids out financially. i would assume, without his income, their standard of living was somewhat reduced, which is what you would expect when a father puts his hopes and dreams before those of his children. you can do whatever the f__k you want in life, as long as you have no one depending on you, but when you make that decision to have a family, sacrifices must be made. (i also think his wife, who married him knowing exactly what he was about, also sets a bad parenting example) and, i question his mother calling him an icon. this is a clear case of mythologizing what i would call a mediocre, unheroic life. these days everyone and everything is iconized. let's reserve icon/hero status for people who truly deserve those accolades.
He had plenty of accomplishments that his children should know about though. They should look up to him just be weary of his actions. Life is free you can do with it whatever you want.
I blame the parents for his death. Putting up children in a bodybuilding show is the same as child pageantry, except with drugs.
Shameless parents.
No worse than kids at Lb g t qzyz pageants.....
Crazy how Bostin and his good friend Leo Longevity did not last long... both died due to drugs
Leo died on a toilet in thailand
@@joke007because of the drugs he colapsed from. Nor steroids but things like meth, benzos, lsd, opioids. Leo was a drugs addict
Tony huge had leo offed in a thailand bathroom. Had nothing to do with roids
@@Jeff-sp7bg it was bathroom in his apartment not bathroom in some werd club in Tailand.
Leo probably killed Loyd with all his retarded kidney advice and cocktails.
Ive been training for a decade and I will say outright he was one of the only truly honest bodybuilders ever, to this very day people will have you believing they are taking 500 test and an oral at the pro level, even though Bostin never turned pro he is one of the only people ever to be completely transparent about everything he took and the dosages he used, I will always respect him for that, everyone who knew him loved him
Jay cutler and all of them say they didn’t use as much as what people claimed. They were all on grams and over 15 iu of hgh.
@@SLF1990it's easy for them to say they weren't using that much but are they being honest about it ? Let's be real I think if they say what and how much they actually do use it will just do more damage to bodybuilding. I remember Tom prince listing every drug he took and the dosage it was unreal the amount he used.
Sam Sulek is NEXT followed by Nick Walker.........
Nick walker first
@@Nate1995 Probably right....
What horrible parents, gross and tacky and just yucky
@@jamie.777 exactly
No your son killed himself with drugs.. no one forced him..
Mom was on so much gear she could barely talk to her son the goat without breathing heavy. Amd yes that song completely sucks....i will be hearing that stupid shit in my head the rest of the day. The way his mother talked about him as if he was the greatest bodybuilder of all time leads me to believe she had a lot to do with this...she probably put so much pressure on him at a young age to be the best he was subconsciously doing it to please her.
you do not known what i had to go though He wanted to get on stage at six for fun that is it to raise money for kid with cancer
Horrible video. Could have talked about preventing things. Instead just repeated the same nonsense with unqualified ppl speaking on the issue
Disgusting. Theyre trying to act like they want something done about steroids?! GTFOH! Dude was on everything and more and at outrageous dosages. Its his fault, we dont need more legislation or education or....
Mixing stimulants with steroids is always a bad idea.
i agree
This honestly sounds like something Bostin would've hated, and it's full of the lies and bullsh*t this whole industry's based on!
I had conversations with him say what u want guy was super cool nice and down to earth
Now IN the earth. So humble.
He wasn't a bad guy.
He was Lazer focused.
I see lots of criticism is the comments, by hypocrites who all do the same things or worse in one way or another.
@@rdallas81 Wtf ever you make idiot assumptions on what all these people's lives are when you have no idea. All because you can't deny to the FACTS they are stating. He was stupid, he wasn't anyone to look up to, and he did make things worse. Not for his "honesty" but his glorification of being stupid under the excuse of "ironic". He named his company after taking 3cc of gear a day and sold 'Got Tren' hats to 13 year olds. Guess someone with a company called "Dirty Syringe" and "Got Meth" glorifying their type of drug abuse to kids on instagram would be totally fine to you right? Huh? What do you mean NO? 🤣 Looks at who is the real hypocrite. No assumptions about their personal life required.
But they honor him with team 3cc on the casket and the equipment? Like bro
I just found out this guy passed away.. I messaged him years ago and he helped me out with some work outs he was nice. My condolences..
Rest in peace to Boston let's quit trying to make him out to be a martyr he was a psycho I just watched your documentary he said he walked into a room planning on injecting one steroid and ended up injecting all of them!!! Where's the intervention that man needed help he's telling other people not to do them while he's taking everything in the fridge rest in peace my friend!!!
Agree, see my longer post along the same vein posted earlier...
This sadly seems more like a money grab by the mom. This isn’t an epidemic more than alcoholism or any other drug use is. If you abuse any drugs you’re risking your health! Simple as that!
Thank you ever one for watching this ..This is to help young bodybuilders to educate and be aware of the dangers in bodybuilding I in no way wanted my son to do steroids I was Miss Natural Universe and did over 100 shows without drugs Yes I did NPP for my joints and i did win over 60 nationals on it also won Florida State in 2020 I am 65 years old and 125 lbs. been competing since I was 21 years old and look the same then as now . This is a tragedy what happened to Bostin. I am hoping he speaks through the grave and someone may be saved , please share this movie my friends and Bostin will always live on he was the first to tell the world about the Dark Side Of The Sport Rest in Peace BOSTIN
Marie God Blessssss Bostin, He's serving a Bigger Role now......xoxo
Sorry for your loss.
@@MABMGuitar thank you
@@SalecePazienza thank you He was bigger than life even in death
Touched a heartstring I didn't even know I had. Easy to see what a wonderful person Boston was, @marieraia5932. Thanks for immortalizing his story for all time. Love from Norway.
How many are dying from abuse who aren't known in the industry? I know half a dozen young guys in the gym that are using PEDs and they're not even 22 yet. One poured out his heart because he now has health issues. This is a pandemic and sadly I don't see people waking up. People want the results now instead of being patient and trusting the process. It's a game of longevity. Do it the natural way fellas
I am almost 100% sure they used ChatGPT to write the majority of the narrative talk track lmao
I competed against him in 2015 and hung out a bit....awesome memory 🙏❤💪💪
He was a good dude. I talked to him twice on the phone.
A mother who show signs of steroids use, talking about her son who became a victim. Is she serious.
Thanks for all the content all those years Bostin. RIP
He didnt push steroids on people, dude he was literally selling crazy ass cycles online back then lol
Lady, with all do respect, your son killed himself, with eyes wide "OPEN" !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry, but that's a fact...
The section with the toy goat at the end was really bizarre and sad. This film was a tough watch.
They exploited their half naked Kid on Stage. They put their son on steroids. Now they exploiting his death. Disguisting parents.
I paid out money never did I make a dime or will
Why is she talking like her and her husband didn’t introduce him to the sport and drugs that killed him. Shes not natty, guarantee his dad wasn’t. And Boston literally blasted so much gear it killed him before he could even live a full life. She needs to stop acting like shes wondering how this happened and whats going on in the sport. She knows exactly the answer to that question and is a part of the problem.
You have been through a lot Marie, God bless you. Bostin lives through his son.
never understood this people, i started the gym because i was a noodle, very very skinny, people used to make fun of me, so, one day i started to lift. Full of people at the gym and since the very beginning i was offered to inject and I said, no way…what is mine is mine, the effort is mine, nothing irregular from outside…people that used to go to the gym and took the juice aged very fast, no hair, like life is gone from their bodies…i am 52 now, still training do box, bicycling, sprints…still lean, but agile, still fast…love to train, would have i taken those steroids when i was 14, god only know where i would be…but at 52 i know where i am…and proud of it. i am really sorry for young people that don’t see it and fall for it…god help them.
He was honest and seemed nice, but he didn’t have the genetics to respond well to all those drugs. He wasn’t even that big to have used all those hormones.
This is another cautionary tale of who you hang around with matters. All through your life.
I’m not sure they understand what the term whistle blowing means. He didn’t whistle blow on the industry…he simply shared that he took a ton of steroids.
It's a way they can deluded themselves into thinking he's a hero when he was really a villain. If there was no Bostin Loyd there would be no "Tren Twins" and no generation of 15-years olds now worshiping steroid abuse.
Documentary summary in 2 seconds: Kids, DO NOT emulate Boston Floyd.
Dave, funny how you didn’t mention when Boston ordered your kidney supplement and you cancelled his order because of your disagreements prior to his death. Leo brought this to light don’t think we’ve forgotten. The 🐍 palumbo
All I heard from people from this video is how HARD-HEADED he was. Seems like nobody would have been able to get to him during the times..
I don’t really see how having boys on stage like that at that age is any different than having toddler beauty pageants.
It’s ridiculous and should be illegal
