Gone too soon, a sad news for the fitness community.
A tragedy has struck the bodybuilding community as WBPF (World Bodybuilding and Physique Sports) athlete is gone far too soon at a very young age. Tim De Wever a classic bodybuilder and former 5% Nutrition athlete has passed away at the very young age of 31. At this point, we don’t have any details on the cause of his death.

“It is with a heavy heart that I say Rest In Peace to @tim_athlete I only had the pleasure of meeting him once at FIBO last year but @1dayumay met him multiple times and saw something special in him and made him a part of the 5% team/family.
