    @carpediem6568 4 роки тому

    Ric was the absolute best, hands down. Didn't matter who he had as a guest, nor what he talked about, once you tuned in, you were hooked for the rest of the program. And couldn't wait for the next. For a moment, you were back in time, a wonderful time. The only beef I had with Ric was that he could have done better if he had moved on from "Old School". So many painful injuries, I don't see how he made it through the day. You can see the pain in his face. Not long ago, I could barely stand from hip pain. Now I can easily run a mile - by upgrading my diet. Old School doesn't work so well for us old guys.

    I owe a lot to what he did in his channel.
    Such a shock that he checked out . Still can't believe it.
    Farewell to one of the real down to earth individuals of the Golden era (and today) .
    RIP
    eerie trivia: He departed the same month/day that Franco did, last year.

    I wasn't happy when I heard about Rich Piana, I do appreciate his talent at marketing himself, I got a bit of a kick out of him and he was a monster whatever it took. However, even though I've never met Ric (who was featured in an article in the 1st Muscle mag I ever read, ironically), I feel an honest sadness I guess because he was such an obviously down to earth, decent guy (even after he was exposed 1st hand to the prototypes of several of the most bizarre industries of the last 100yrs)when he could've went in the completely opposite direction as many of his contemporaries have. Besides the fact that he really knew what he was talking about, which I know because at just over 10yrs his Jr, I've been around the Gym/Nutrition/Fitness Industries myself for 4+ decades. RIP to a very decent guy, as well as 1 of the few who definitely knew his ass from a hole in the ground. 💪🙏
