Veteran bodybuilder Doug Brignole has passed away at 63 years of age. One of the most renowned bodybuilders competing in the AAU and NABBA, Brignole’s career spanned over four decades. It was marked with several huge accomplishments. While different theories about the cause of his passing are circulating in social media, the actual reason is yet unknown. The news of his passing was first reported on various social media platforms.

Throughout his bodybuilding career, Doug Brignole was primarily known for the proportions and shape rather than size, similar to bodybuilding legend Frank Zane in many ways. Brignole was one of the bodybuilders with a cerebral approach and controversial yet revolutionary ideas. He did not believe in doing common exercises like shoulder presses or stiff leg deadlifts.  The 63-year-old still maintained an excellent training routine and he was preparing to guest pose at the AAU Mr. Universe that will take place in Las Vegas on Oct. 22.

After retiring from competitive bodybuilding, Doug Brignole primarily worked as an author, fitness expert, and public speaker. In addition to conducting seminars throughout the country, he has addressed audiences in Japan, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, and Norway. He was the founder of the website dougbrignole.com which promoted the ‘3-Way Split’ training routine that focuses on training the 22 major muscles in the body in three separate workouts with BRIG-20 (Brignole’s 20 most preferred) exercises.

    Doug Brignole: “I have enough confidence in the vaccine, based on my research, to get it done. Those of you who think the vaccine kills people can use me as a test. If I die, you were right. If I don’t die, and have no ill effects, you were wrong, and should admit it (at least to yourselves). Better yet, you should admit to the world who misled you, so other people can benefit by avoiding those fear mongers.”

    Unfortunately Doug is dead and will never be able to admit he was wrong and to warn people of the deadly dangers of the jab…but his own words give testament to how he was misled and genocided. Let his words become his testimonial.

    Dr McCullough is asking that those who had loved ones who died suddenly and who were jabbed to speak up and tell the world. Doug told us himself.

    Guess it’ll take an autopsy to reveal all the damage the cv shot did. But, guv agencies may pressure or bribe his survivors not to reveal those results, and/or change the death certificate.

    We are sorry to hear of his passing. Wondering if our families are connected to the old country (Italy). My husband, Dario Brignole is from Buenos Aires. He said his grandfather Umberto had immigrated to Argentina while his other siblings landed in Brazil and North America back in the 1930s.
    Our condolences to Doug Brignole’s family.

    Wow, he was only six years older than me! I’m only 5’10”, 142 lbs, and slim. I’m going to stick with my diet, exercise, and lifelong avoidance of Big Pharma and FDA chemicals. I have never been on a prescription medication and was on Dr. Feingold diet (70s) my entire childhood. Guess what, the artificial additives are now banned in Europe — LOL Wikipedia and FDA $$$$. I call it my Pureblood routine — no vaccines, no prescription medications, no artificial chemicals, no junk food, and avoid natural toxins. My Puremind routine (Just the No’s) is no TV, no MSM, no video games, no hive mind, and no lefty friends.
