The bodybuilding world is once again in mourning over the sudden death of Illia Golemknown to all as The Mutantwho died at the age of 36 from causes that are still unknown. Despite not being a professional, he was a highly followed figure on social networks due to his incredible physical condition, and he weighed 165 kilos due to the large daily calorie intake that he consumed.
At the moment the causes of death are unknown, but some of the hypotheses indicate that it may be another synthol victimfrom anabolics or from that immense intake of daily calories that he needed to eat to achieve his goals. Precisely Illia Golem himself claimed that his lifestyle was unhealthy.
The doctor César Kálazich, specialist in sports medicine at the MEDS Clinic, in Chile, clarified the danger of taking synthol in an interview in the BBC: «Synthol, or also called Syntherol, is a mixture of oil (85% medium chain triglycerides or MCT), lidocaine (7.5% local anesthetic) and benzyl alcohol (7.5%) that is injected directly into the muscle. “It acts like an implant, causing an immediate increase in volume.”
On his social networks he openly said that “he was risking his life.” “50 units of insulin” was injected so that he could eat the huge amounts of food very quickly. This practice allowed him to increase muscle mass and strength more quickly. He consumed up to 16,500 calories a day. Of them, a high percentage consisted of proteins, which if consumed in excess “can cause kidney and liver failure,” experts say.
The danger that Illia Golem was in
The Czech had a YouTube channel with almost 50,000 subscribers, where he spoke openly about the use of steroids and other substances, such as testosterone, of which he claimed to consume “extreme amounts”, of 6 grams per week, something of which he himself reached to joke: “If you tell someone, they’ll say yes.” “You’re crazy, you want to kill yourself.”
This bodybuilder also consumed large doses of the growth hormonewhich helped him achieve “crowd monster” status in the community. To sustain and boost his growth, he maintained “monstrous” diets that reached 16,500 calories, and all of this made him known as The Mutant (the mutant).
Now, your social networks, such as your profiles on TikTokhave filled their latest videos with messages of condolences and emotional farewells for what happened. While the real reasons for his death are confirmed, his followers have not missed the opportunity to show their pain for losing Illia Golem at only 36 years old. “Another bodybuilder who dies too soon” or “Fly high” are just some of the messages that can be read in his most recent publications.
