      Pa sta onda sta je bio na steroidima mislis da bez treninga godinama i godinama uz samo uzimanje steroida tako izgledao nema šanse!! Rich je legenda i jedan od najjiskrenijih BB sve sta je govorio govorio je iskreno i tocno..
      Njegov problem je sto je bolovao od Bigoreksije tako da je i njegov glavni razlog za uzimanje steroida a i Synatola nazalost...

    I got the opportunity to workout with rich, when he was still training people, I asked how much he charged and he flat out said he wouldn’t even charge me, he let me train with him for 2 hours free, and I can tell you guys this man was very strong

    • @AG-nj3ky
      @AG-nj3ky 6 років тому +2

      He was honest about what? He promoted his extremely unhealthy lifestyle and made millions out of inspired fools taking his example. How does promoting other people to live a unhealthy and unsustainable lifestyle for your own goodwill fit with being honest? His dead should be put in the dictionary as an example for the word karma.

    • @mhsrebel17
      @mhsrebel17 6 років тому +6

      He was very open about his PED usage and the risks attached. He was one of the only big names in fitness to be honest about the scam that so many of the supplements out there are. And he absolutely did not "promote" steroid use. He said numerous times that it was a serious commitment and could be dangerous. He did however say that if you decided it was something you wanted to do, then you needed to do it correctly. Thus he provided cycle and post cycle info for FREE so that people could be informed.

    Was never a huge fan, but I did watch some of his videos, and I always respected him for being so open about the fact that he did use steroids and never encouraged his followers to use them. He never stopped talking about proper diet and work ethic and if that even if you were on gear, but didn't work your ass off, it wasn't going to yield the kind of results you'd hoped for. He did video on about the dangers of abusing steroids and he told his followers flat out not to use them. He said it was his personal choice to use them, and that he was aware of the risks, but would never recommend that to someone else. Respect. RIP bro.

Theres a video where a skinny chick from Pianas crew is squatting alot of weight. The Ex boyfriend an ex 5% admitted that his ex has never squatted near that many plates and he called her out. The chick said piana wanted them to look stronger. No doubt he was buff AF. Im sure they used fake weights on some videos to sell their products or something

He was the most down to earth, genuine dude I’ve ever met. I had the balls to straight up ask him if he did fabricate some of his lifts for videos just to add more spice to videos. He told me straight up no but he considered it from time to time due to him getting older.

    You are correct concerning Rich’s YT days in regards to the very heavy lifting. In the vid he made with Björnsson, they talk about this very thing - Rich mentions that due to the amount of time he had been lifting and his age - that his joints (particularly his elbows) couldn’t withstand that kind of stress anymore. Bottom line is: Rich was quite strong and you don’t get that kind of thickness without strength moves. Really miss the guy.

      No one earns paradise with God and considering he insulted God on a daily bases with drug use "abusing his temple which is his body that god made in his image" lets also note he likely never got baptized...no we know he didn't otherwise he wouldn't abuse drugs...
      point is he is in Hell dude. Not what I would hope or wish on him though but narrow is the way too eternal life, broad is the way too destruction "Hell" You cant earn your salvation you must accept it by getting baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and to continue to serve God. He served himself his vanity killed him.
