Charro Lomelí was recognized as one of the top bodybuilding coaches in the country. In addition, he led an astounding career as a Men’s Open contender, competing at high-profile events such as the 2014 Tampa Pro (8th place) and the 2015 Ferrigno Legacy Pro (4th place). In his last sanctioned event, Charro competed at the 2016 Ferrigno Legacy Pro (10th place). 

With over 159,000 followers on Instagram and over 48,000 on YouTube, Lomelí wasn’t just a top-tier Pro, but a beloved figure in our sport. Unfortunately, bodybuilding has witnessed several athletes pass away as of late.

Less than two weeks ago, former Brazilian bodybuilding champion, Eustácio Batista Dias died at just 27 years old after he was horrifically executed inside the gym. Aside from Dias, another Brazilian standout lost his life at the tender age of 29 after liver surgery complications.
