Bodybuilder YouTuber Joesthetics Opened Up On Health Struggles In Last Instagram Post Before Death
Bodybuilder Joesthetics' fans have been in sorrow ever since it was revealed that he had died at the age of 30.
The German bodybuilder and fitness influencer Jo Lindner, real name Jo, first gained notoriety through his YouTube channel and is best known for his social media username 'Joesthetics'.
He uses his internet platform to give fitness advice as well as details about his nutrition and way of life.
His girlfriend revealed on Instagram on 1st July that the 30-year-old passed unexpectedly on Friday.
Jo's girlfriend, fellow fitness influencer Nicha, shared numerous photos and videos of the two, saying to followers that he is now "in the best place."
She said: "Yesterday he passed away by an aneurysm...I was there with him in the room.. he put on the necklace on my neck that he made for me..then...we just lay down and cuddled..waiting for the time to go meet Noel at the gym at 16.00. He was in my arms.. then this is just happening too fast.”
"Three days ago he kept saying that he [had] pain in his neck .. we not really realize it… until it too late."
Strangely, his most recent Instagram post referred to "health issues."
Lindner stated in the piece that was published just before his tragic passing away: "When I lost my gains because I went off everything for 1 year but then could not recover my own [testosterone] levels so went back on trt [Testosterone Replacement Therapy].”
"Trust me I tried to stop but be aware it might have long-term effects on your life.”
“Trt is a big commitment keep that in mind."
In order to demonstrate how TRT altered his body, Lindner posted a before and after photo of himself.
He went on: "Show a lot of size differences like – swole and not swole u can see at chest etc all slim down even my waist is smaller back then.”
"Also my stomach now due to my hernia surgery now it’s a new hernia there and it makes my stomach bigger.”
"Overall this post should show that even as a natural u can look amazing and why you just need to get in shape!!"
In a podcast interview, Lindner had previously talked about his health issues.
He told this to YouTuber Bradley Martyn: "The heart is also a muscle, that’s my biggest concern that what if I get such a bad cramp that my heart gets a cramp.”
"That makes me scared. That’s why I’m staying away from bodybuilding competitions too much.”
"Because I would take all these diuretics and if I stop eating salt and drink a lot, and then stop drinking as well, you would pee everything out, and then you would take a diuretic as well on top and then you pee even more sodium out.”
"I cannot exist really. I cannot even walk anymore."
