The Sounds of Silence.... Strongman Mike Jenkins was diagnosed last november with obstructive sleep apnea. He died of a heart attack that same month in his sleep. No research links OSA specifically with larger male strength and physique athletes: recreational and pro bodybuilders, powerlifters, and strongmen. However, there has been published research done with NFL players, who tend to weigh more than the rest of us. A 2003 study found that the overall sleep apnea rate was 4-5 times higher in NFL players than males of similar ages, and an astounding 34 percent among linemen—some of whom are as heavy as Mike was. While the CPAP is the gold standard of care for sleep apnea often it isn’t used due to discomfort and inconvenience.
