Ray Liotta has died in his sleep at 67

Are you stating or guessing? Because I don't see anything in the news yet about the cause of death, but that was my guess too.
Thus the thread in Health...
Sorry I wrote he had, should have been if he had.
I read in an actor group it deemed likely based on he will have done physicals for the two current movie projects reducing the likelihood of untreated heart disease perhaps. A stroke is possible of course.
Possibly triggered by method acting.

Maybe murder, accidental drug overdose (alcohol and pills), suicide, a mob hit even though he wasn't Italian, or died after doing a strenuous workout at the local gym ???

Movie celebrities are well known for working out at local gyms or with private fitness instructors during the production of a movie...
Maybe the bench press routine is what got him.
My kids (teenagers) are still laughing from last week of my miserable failure in doing the following training exercise...it almost broke my neck when I missed and then slammed face-first into the mat. Keep in mind I'm in my 50's, great shape and a former athlete that competed internationally.
I used metal plates on a wooden crate in the backyard on top of my rowing mats to show the art of jumping and how it can improve your core strength in sports.
I tried to duplicate the following video...

As impressive as the jump is, I think it is a joint accident waiting to happen. It strikes me as more of an ego thing than an exercise.
It's no different than any other exercise but when you do the exercise on your own...less ego.
Yet, when you do the same exercise in front of others...than it moves into the ego thing regardless if it's jumping, dumbell curls, bench press, sprints, biking, rowing, or hitting a heavy bag.
It's the reason why I do all my exercise routines at home (alone) including my fails and not at some gym. Your laughing teenagers is enough humiliation for day when you fail.

I would think squats, or even leg presses, are better, and more controlled, for strengthening the leg muscles. You can take yourself closer to the limit and, therefore, stimulate adaptation.It's no different than any other exercise but when you do the exercise on your own...less ego.

If someone wants to jump, then why not just do so in the air, and not on something upon which you can miscalculate, stumble and then invite injury? I have sustained enough injuries in my younger (and even not-so-younger) days doing stupid shit, that I now tend to avoid anything that looks like it could end badly.

Rowing on the St. Lawrence river is more dangerous. My point, what is a dangerous workout is perspective.
Yet, I do remember working out at home with a buddy and he was on the bench press with two spotters. 240 weight, 7 reps, and 2 sets. One day the last rep...his arm made a loud popping noise...it was broken.
