Bodybuilder Gone Bad - The Letter Bomber

   Last week two ex USA presidents, a presidential candidate, high profile Democrats, Democrat supporters such as actors and philanthropists were targeted with letter bombs .Fortunately, none of the letter bombs exploded. On Friday police arrested a 56 year old Florida man named Cesar Sayoc.
   According to the Associated Press "Cesar Sayoc is an amateur bodybuilder, and a former male stripper, a loner with a long arrest record who showed little interest in politics." Apparently, the recent interest in politics was not that of an enthusiastic voter or democracy participant.
   He also played college soccer but did not graduate. More recently he was a D.J. at a strip club, a pizza delivery driver, and a waste truck driver.

Alleged letter bomber, male stripper and amateur bodybuilder Cesar Sayoc.

   Sayoc has a long arrest record. He even did probation for making a bomb threat. His recent online presence showed that he hosted a simmering rage towards opponents of his political views. Conversely, many co-workers describe him as someone who always liked to joke around and was easy to get along with. Others describe him as someone with anger control issues.

With guns like those, why resort to letter bombs?

   Being fit and working out vigorously can be a great tonic for mental health. However, in extreme cases of anger, rage or depression, advanced and more specific aid may be required. A healthy body works best with a healthy mind and a healthy spirit. If either of the 3 are out of kilter, dysfunction can occur.
   Fitness Trainers with clients that exhibit such behavior should develop a sense of when the situation is beyond their scope of practice. In such cases-always refer the client to a medical or health specialist!
   In this case there was likely no Fitness Trainer involved. Many bodybuilders train themselves and seek advice only from other gym rats or muscle heads. 
   There will be more to come in the future news on this bodybuilder gone bad!

Until Next Time,  Keep Fit
