The fitness world was recently rocked by surprising news about 17-year-old Logan Dishman, who built his reputation claiming to be a natural vegan athlete while secretly abusing massive amounts of PEDs. What started as lies about his natural status has now landed him in the hospital fighting for his life with sepsis from a dirty needle injection.
Dishman gained attention after bench pressing with Larry Wheels. He claimed to hit 815 pounds using a slingshot device and allegedly used fake plates to inflate his numbers. While promoting himself as a natural athlete and securing a Young LA sponsorship, he was actually injecting 600 milligrams of trenbolone and using other dangerous substances like trestolone acetate (MENT). To put this in perspective, even experienced PED users would struggle to handle such extreme doses.
Logan Dishman recently posted on Instagram about the situation, trying to be transparent.
The reality of his deception became undeniable when his blood work revealed surprising results. His HDL cholesterol ratio reached 28.8, which should be below 5. His triglycerides skyrocketed to 372 (normal is below 90), while his HDL cholesterol plummeted to just 10 (should be over 48). These numbers indicate severe cardiovascular damage typically seen in much older individuals, not a teenager.
The situation turned critical when Dishman developed pyomyositis, a dangerous bacterial infection in muscle tissue caused by contaminated injections. This condition, combined with his already compromised health from PED abuse, created a life-threatening scenario. His heart reportedly stopped working, requiring life support and vasopressor medications. Medical calculations suggest he has approximately a 42% chance of dying from his current condition.
Dishman’s case serves as a warning about the real consequences of PED abuse, especially among minors. His pre-diabetic blood markers, potential liver damage, and current fight for survival show that the pursuit of instant gratification in fitness can literally be a matter of life and death.
