Bodybuilding is definitely not a sport for the faint-hearted. The life of a professional bodybuilder is not a bed of roses as they face a ton of challenges including troubles maintaining personal relationships, maintaining good health, as well as the mental troubles that one often goes through due to the hormonal imbalance which is pretty common in the sport. Making things worse is the factor of injuries that makes the sport all the more dangerous and horrific.
Despite retiring from the sport decades ago, many bodybuilders still face the wrath of the injuries that they went through during their prime years. One of the most famous ones is Ronnie Coleman, who is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Another bodybuilder who got in serious trouble due to an injury is Rich Gaspari. Despite retiring from the sport almost three decades ago, Gaspari continues to deal with issues related to the lumbar disk. However, thanks to advancements in medical science, he has progressed better towards recovery owing to new-age machines that help in relieving pain.
