Rich, your advice will always be relevant. Who is rewatching in 2019? Edit: This is really needed in 2020. Edit 2: Remember he would want us to do what we believe is best; he'd want us to stay strong. Edit 3: 2021 has been tough. Things almost seem to be looking up. Let's keep doing our best to help each other out. We all need each other at this point. Edit 4: 2022 has been one of the hardest years for us all. Things may seem uncertain, but take some time to enjoy what we have. Never forget that it is always darkest before dawn. We will get through this, and the gym will always be ready for your next set. 2023 edit: it's been the craziest year yet. The world is in chaos. People decided over the littlest opinions, but never forget. In the church of Iron, we are all brothers and sisters. Stay kind to each other, give each other a spot, and most importantly, stay humble.
Rich was the most up front bodybuilder he didnt hold anything back still look to his videos for advice rich piana ct fletcher and seth feroce are my go to if you want honest straight forward advice
You know, personally when I first watched Rich I thought he was some sort of bodybuilding clown trying to earn a living by selling products and stuff. His early vids also gave me those vibes. But as the years passed and I think Rich knew he was not going to live much longer, he actually started to tell about life and bodybuilding for what it truly is. In the time of his death he was one of the realest men on the internet. Just shows you how good of a person he was deep down. RIP big man. Miss ya goddamit.
I never watched him until he was dead but I respect he doesn’t lie to people. Mike o tren, Simeon panda, and others try to play off the fact they juice. Rich keeps it real always.
refugiorod you do know big boy from strength cartel and rich we’re beefing right? Cuz big boy and rich’s ex Sara Piana stole drugs or steroids from rich
Bro rich had problems, the guy snorted pre-workout and did steroids to attain his physique. You people are stupid, propping this guy up. He seemed like a nice guy, definitely *NOT* a role-model
I just watched a bunch of his stuff, what a great guy. Hell, I'm not even really into the scene anymore and I honestly just like hanging out with Rich. So real and honest. I wish he was still here.
I wish this guy was alive it’s 2024 and every time I come on his channel it hits hard so many memories of when I was a teenager watching him! Years have passed and let me tell you life as a full grown man ain’t a walk in the park! I wish he was here to hear his knowledge once more! Just a beautiful soul you will be missed Rich R.I.P
@Throngdorr Mighty Cows and pigs are loaded up on a cocktail of roids none of which are testosterone. And yes they do "work out" - They stand, run and walk close to 24 hrs/day, rarely will you see a cow lying down. Pigs are slightly less active, but still enough to build mass. You also forget to think about the fact that they're animals and have completely different metabolism and muscle tissue than humans. So, can you build mass by shooting test and lying on the couch? The answer is kinda maybe, but then insanely minuscule. Say you could gain 50 grams of muscle a year, until you stagnate. That's best case scenario.
All around the youtube fitness world I see comments like "Rich Piana is my favorite natty" and you start to form an opinion about him before you watch his videos. But he is one of the realest people on here.
If I said it once, I've said it a billion times by now, he is the ONLY bodybuilder in the business that has the balls to admit this shit. No one else will cause they're sponsored by someone. He's his own sponsor, he has nothing to lose
Oggy Oggy I don’t know why ur hating. Joe Rogan says sheep conspiracy theories and preaches them like their his own ideas. Nonetheless he talks about dropping acid and exploring your mind like a druggy ass bitch. At least rich is sober (apart from roids) but isn’t on a psychoactive substance when he talks to his audience.
+Gerard Beaubrun I couldn't agree more man. He says stuff like, "I'd like to think this makes logical sense and everyone knows this"...well....not all, but most of us didn't. He made it sink in our heads. Thank you Rich!
I learned about Rich's channel after his passing and the more I watch the more I wish he was still with us. Rich was a good soul. Wish I could've met him in person. RIP
I remember being 15-16 years old watching this video. Rich kept me from wasting my money on supplement bullshit, and on real food instead. Rice, chicken, steak etc. Gone but never forgotten.
i like this guy cause he is honest , then look at kali muscle or mike o hearn claiming natural , and supporting every roduct to look like them This video is a punch rigth to their faces
Kali muscle claims natty because he's on parole for like 80 years and would go straight back to prison if he admitted to doing steroids. Mike o Tren claims natty because he's a liar
Michael R. That’s a physical truth, but it’s impossible to say what will happen to our consciousness. Look at the unfathomable nature of dreams. There are so many things in life unexplained, no one can be 100% certain on what comes next.
ya but scientifically speaking, if you ground up food until it becomes powder-like, it's a physical change. Physical change means you can break something down and it's still the same product
I respected the hell out of his honesty on more then just this subject. Everyone has their flaws and nobody is perfect, but he was one of the realist guys in the industry
He looks relatively healthy here. Man I wasn’t even Into fitness then but I watched him!!!!! Wish so much he was still here. I have come so far & have so much further to go. I miss him! I am finally doing it now tho Rich! I had to get off heroin first but I’m doing it bro! 9+ months sober & back at the gym finally. I actually made it to a year and didn’t realize it. This comment is 3 weeks old now but I had to stop worrying about how long it’s been because every other time I did it I’d hit 90 days and go back to it. So, I’m really trying and if I can do it anyone can.
@@krees895 thanks man. I’m overweight but at 260 I can do 35 push-ups without stopping & im gonna keep going even from there. Wish the gym would open up so bad!!!

And we r getting strong physically too, I can do 10 dips at 260 lbs bodyweight I need to lose some of this fat tho admittedly but u keep going
+Phoenix Iv not to mention the cosmetic surgery he's had done to his face, i wonder if he ever looks back at these old videos and thinks fuck what have i done to myself
Ironically, I got the same advice from my former coach. A pro national BB. He sold protein powders, owning a gym. I once told him I lost a shake container (plastic) under my bed, forgot about it, and rediscovered it because of the smell. He said drop it. Not the response I expected He said drop the whole shake thing. Don't bother with shakes. Chicken and rice. I listened. Gained 30lbs of muscle on CHICKEN and RICE, adding 3 meals a day, instead of 3 shakes. He hurt his own business by telling the truth. And he was right. It was 1999 back then. You can't beat REAL FOOD. It is the most anabolic substance on the planet.
imagine if you had added more food AND continued the shake, maybe 1-2 a day, its meant to supplement your diet, which should already be tailored to your goals before you even step in the gym. you were just uneducated on how to use the shakes, then misinformed by being told to just stop using them altogether. same dude probably told you creatine doesn't really work right?
Watch Greg Doucette, he's basically the new Rich. Nothing but pure unadulterated truth and knowledge from this man and soon you will be dropping the rice too.
@@coolstorybro_cant_wait_4_movie so what man, he never lied about using it. I think this shows character in a person. He wasn't like other bodybuilders who claim to be natural.
I never judged him in my life.. all what i knew he went to far with body building and thats ok.. his life his choices.. the saddest part is i didn't really knew how genuine honest and awesome person he was till he past away.. Thank you rich for all your golden devises honesty and genuisity you will alway live on.. RIP big guy💔
This guy was so honest about everything he wasn't afraid to point out the bullshit on every topic when it came to bodybuilding. He deserved every inch of respect he ever got. I hope he's resting in peace.
So I just retired from work. (In my 40s). I’ve neglected my body because of work and family. Now I am getting back on the horse and I’m working out again. I’ve been listen to advice from Arnold Schwarzenegger and now this guy. I feel Rich Piana left the world a little too early. His advice, especially about food, is so on point. Eat well, and supplements are just that, supplements. People may not agree with what he did or how he did it, but I like his honesty. It is refreshing. You left too soon Rich.
Meet him in space? You think this earth and space were always existed. Is there rain and food outside this earth we living in? Start worship the creator of all things
From this video until he died he aged drastically! Like he got long mullet hair and a skeleton face.and even weird eyes. Wonder if he got hooked on the opiods ? Shit makes lifting hard.
+Black Halo I just got off some Halo 2 (the video game LOL 😎) my wife is a registered nurse in NY state where I live and her mother has been a an RN as well for 40+ years as well as her younger brother becoming a cardiologist so usually when I have questions its easy for me to get educated answers. If you're digesting 6 full meals a day and stay healthily hydrated with water nothing is gonna affect you more than the other in my opinion. What about people who smoke cigs for decades, put that into perspective. I personally am 25 lift about 4-6 days a week (depending on my work schedule that week and my 3 year old sons needs) and eat about 3 full meals sometimes maybe even 2 but I'll have I guess "snacks" in between my snacks I mean like a full turkey sandwich or like 6-10 slices of pb on wheat bread or just a few eggs cooked. I feel like I was eating the same way when I was an adolescent I do have a somewhat physically demanding job and maybe my body is just truthfully hungry all of the time but the food helps. Also I drink 2 shakes a day minimum. 3 usually on days I lift (best post workout can't miss that best anabolic window lol) also I drink at least a gallon of water every day as well. Now maybe this is because I am 25 and full of natural test and as healthy as possible but everything seems to be working great for me gains wise and my organs are all good. Just make sure you're going to your doctors and getting regular checkups bpis etc don't be a chump!
+Black Halo yes it is extremely hard for me to gain weight, I'm one of those guys who must consume 4k+ calories a day to maintain my mass. Of course I even Have my protein tracker app on my phone as well lol. Damn straight I also stay away from cardio except outside basketball now that it's getting nice out again lol.
Honestly, Mr. Piana, I think I owe you an apology, I've always ignore your advice and sometimes trash it. BUT. after seeing this video. I humbly salute you, and thank you for the most real advice. ( real food and label reading). I'll keep an eye on your material from now on. GOOD LUCK!
I agree with the label reading. But this whole thing about "real food" I find that funny. is milk real food? Of course it is. But, its liquid. I thought if it's liquid, it's not a real food. Food has to be solid. If you aren't chewing it, it's not real food. How stupid is that. There are some crappy protein shakes out there, but there are some decent ones and you can easily make one yourself, using real oatmeal and peanut butter. and using a really good quality protein powder.
love this guy- "real food" gets you big. Real food and real steroids. Shit, I've been eating fake food and taking fake steroids, now I'll be small forever!!!
he'd be much bigger than most people with or without steroids, and he has a good point about everything he says, its about what you eat, thats what he means by "real food", as in not processed etc.
Tell the "truth" about supplements, then sneak in that you are bringing your own supplements out soon for "only" 15% more progress (hint, no supplement outside of PED use will give you that). Lol, nice marketing. Looks like you fooled a good amount of people with this bullshit. Just get over with the act and sell synthol if you want to be real with your fans.
Rest in peace piana...u may be the man who took all the juice. But u never told anyone to be like u. You told alltime to be natural.you are always my hero..
Thanks for reiterating that no supplement in this world can ever be a replacement of food. The only reason why someone would take protein supplement is to cut down on calories as we are too lazy to cook. Otherwise egg white has just 7 calories and is pure protein.
No, pp is not for cutting calories, while mass gaining period you want to eat more calories, not cut them. The actual use of pp's are for after training cuz the protein absortion velocity is way faster than eggs or a steak. Some pp also contains BCAA, glutamine. Its MILK
I am subbing solely because of his honesty. Supplements are junk. Most people do not even know the whey protein market was developed because some marketing weasel came up with the idea of selling the whey protein left over from making cheese, which was always just a waste product that they dumped out like garbage. That's right, you are paying $20 or more dollars a tub for their GARBAGE. Eat real food. You also don't need much meat, or meat at all for that matter. Oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa...that is what makes you big fast. Complex carbs. There is plenty of protein in them.
birk bårdssønn sæther LOL. I am graduating with a Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition in May and I'm going to med school next year. I love it when people who only know how to regurgitate propaganda that they are not intelligent enough to see through try to pretend like they are superior to me. It makes for a good laugh. Patrik Baboumian, world's strongest man, vegan. Mr. Natural Universe, vegan. Venus Williams, vegan. Jim Morris, an almost 80 year old bodybuilder that still looks incredible after all of those who competed during his time have either died or look like hammered shit, vegan. Jon Fitch, Jake Shields, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, Mac Danzig, all MMA fighters that would serve you like a little bitch, all vegan. Too many more elite athletes to name. Your tired, ancient rhetoric only works on those still too weak-minded to see through the lies. The age of disinformation is over for all but the weakest among us.
Love and respect Rich for doing this, Mentzer tried to do the same thing back in the late 70’s and the Weiders robbed him at the Olympia in an attempt to shut him up MIKE AND RICH RIP GOD DAMNIT
I owe EVERYTHING to Rich!!.......I put on 30lbs of muscle because of him, most incredible journey in my life!.... I had a fast metabolism and struggled to gain weight my entire life, SO fucking embarrassing, you have No idea.........so I just forget everything "i knew", and listened to Rich and trusted his words instead........and damnit, he was 100% Right!! Took a couple months, and that scale started going up! I was hooked! He also changed my entire outlook on life and can tackle ANY task now.....just a total mentality change....God bless brothers.
2023 coming up and we all still miss Rich
Real shit man
Rip
For real dude, keeps me motivated and disciplined even though he's not with us anymore. God bless his memory
Still watch bigger by the day to get as huge as possible. No one else I can trust but Rich. RIP

+Phoenix Iv That's what a woman does to ya...
+Phoenix Iv Rich looked younger here, not even a year ago...
+Subie Swole its 2 years ago why you exagerating?
greveeen 2 years whatever... my opinion bro. He looks a lot younger here for it only being 2 years
Man!! Wish this dude was still around. Brave n caring enough to tell the honest truth!!
Miss you, Rich! You’re a true legend..A true teacher. I promise you this...I’ll eat “Real food” and work out 4 to 5 days a week....REAL FOOD!!!!!!!
I'm glad this just came in the recommendation. Miss the good old days
ye
Ironically, I got the same advice from my former coach. A pro national BB. He sold protein powders, owning a gym. I once told him I lost a shake container (plastic) under my bed, forgot about it, and rediscovered it because of the smell. He said drop it. Not the response I expected
He said drop the whole shake thing. Don't bother with shakes. Chicken and rice. I listened. Gained 30lbs of muscle on CHICKEN and RICE, adding 3 meals a day, instead of 3 shakes. He hurt his own business by telling the truth. And he was right. It was 1999 back then. You can't beat REAL FOOD. It is the most anabolic substance on the planet.
Besides anabolic steroidd
imagine if you had added more food AND continued the shake, maybe 1-2 a day, its meant to supplement your diet, which should already be tailored to your goals before you even step in the gym. you were just uneducated on how to use the shakes, then misinformed by being told to just stop using them altogether. same dude probably told you creatine doesn't really work right?
@@albertolarocca1695 drugs*
Watch Greg Doucette, he's basically the new Rich. Nothing but pure unadulterated truth and knowledge from this man and soon you will be dropping the rice too.
@@coolstorybro_cant_wait_4_movie so what man, he never lied about using it. I think this shows character in a person. He wasn't like other bodybuilders who claim to be natural.
I never judged him in my life.. all what i knew he went to far with body building and thats ok.. his life his choices.. the saddest part is i didn't really knew how genuine honest and awesome person he was till he past away..
Thank you rich for all your golden devises honesty and genuisity you will alway live on..
RIP big guy💔
I just found this channel and this guy is awesome man i cant believe he passed. Rest in peace.
He was so right about everything. Really smart guy. I am still listening to him in 2019 and I am sure I will do it in 2020 or in 2030.
This dude was so real and genuine! Blessed to have found you several years ago! R.I.P., bro!
Rich Bentley is my favorite natural driving car.
+Vlad Levitt no
+Vlad Levitt these jokes are getting VERY old quickly
bkohler89 stfu
It doesnt even make sense bitch
This guy was so honest about everything he wasn't afraid to point out the bullshit on every topic when it came to bodybuilding. He deserved every inch of respect he ever got. I hope he's resting in peace.
So I just retired from work. (In my 40s). I’ve neglected my body because of work and family. Now I am getting back on the horse and I’m working out again. I’ve been listen to advice from Arnold Schwarzenegger and now this guy. I feel Rich Piana left the world a little too early. His advice, especially about food, is so on point. Eat well, and supplements are just that, supplements. People may not agree with what he did or how he did it, but I like his honesty. It is refreshing. You left too soon Rich.
What did he reached at this moment. Fire in his belly and drinking boiling water. Worship the creator of everything on this earth
What a void this guy left in the industry. Entertainer, motivator, real ass OG. Better than anyone. Still.
Is it just me or does rich remind you of Marcus Fenix from gears of war?
He always did from the moment I saw him. He should go to one of those virgin conventions one time dressed up as him.
Sosa ひ yes lol
hardvybe lol “virgin”????
Sosa ひ he always reminds me of Thanos in avengers (infinity war)
Gary Swartz same
DOnt fear death.. YOu made a huge impact in life.. MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE.. WELL ALL MEET IN SPACE .. Energy....
Meet him in space? You think this earth and space were always existed. Is there rain and food outside this earth we living in? Start worship the creator of all things
@@AdiliolllcwTheDon lol
Bro Community Will Keep Your Memory Alive By Continuing To Achieve Massive Gainz & Be Better At This Thing We Call Life. Peace Rich 💪🏾😎
I watched this video when he still around,,and now watching this makes me sad.
I agree he was a little ducked up like the rest of us but he wore his heart on his sleeve
CTM nah
From this video until he died he aged drastically! Like he got long mullet hair and a skeleton face.and even weird eyes. Wonder if he got hooked on the opiods ? Shit makes lifting hard.
jake no opiates.
Quantumax46 lol.
Honesty is love
Hi
Haven't watched one of his vids since he passed. One of the best youtubers of all time, RIP Rich.
Honestly it's been a while since I heard his voice now and I felt a genuine sensation of loss. RIP.
I’m still here watching this man.. big rich we miss you
no one can replace your place
No one can replace this replacement of a basement
That’s true for absolutely everyone
I eat already 203523 meals a day but i won´t get big what should i do now?
Rich Piana: EAT MORE!
I loved that comment
+Black Halo I'm assuming 6 meals a day with an individual who is up for more of the day opposed to others.
+Black Halo I just got off some Halo 2 (the video game LOL 😎) my wife is a registered nurse in NY state where I live and her mother has been a an RN as well for 40+ years as well as her younger brother becoming a cardiologist so usually when I have questions its easy for me to get educated answers. If you're digesting 6 full meals a day and stay healthily hydrated with water nothing is gonna affect you more than the other in my opinion. What about people who smoke cigs for decades, put that into perspective. I personally am 25 lift about 4-6 days a week (depending on my work schedule that week and my 3 year old sons needs) and eat about 3 full meals sometimes maybe even 2 but I'll have I guess "snacks" in between my snacks I mean like a full turkey sandwich or like 6-10 slices of pb on wheat bread or just a few eggs cooked. I feel like I was eating the same way when I was an adolescent I do have a somewhat physically demanding job and maybe my body is just truthfully hungry all of the time but the food helps. Also I drink 2 shakes a day minimum. 3 usually on days I lift (best post workout can't miss that best anabolic window lol) also I drink at least a gallon of water every day as well. Now maybe this is because I am 25 and full of natural test and as healthy as possible but everything seems to be working great for me gains wise and my organs are all good. Just make sure you're going to your doctors and getting regular checkups bpis etc don't be a chump!
+Black Halo yes it is extremely hard for me to gain weight, I'm one of those guys who must consume 4k+ calories a day to maintain my mass. Of course I even Have my protein tracker app on my phone as well lol. Damn straight I also stay away from cardio except outside basketball now that it's getting nice out again lol.
+Black Halo hey man it goes both ways. At the end of the day gain weight- Calories in>calories out lose weight calories in
Miss this dude. Honesty is rare these days. This guy set the bar high
This video actually made me have a lot of respect for you man. RIP.....your legacy lives on.
i like the fact that guy is honest
agreed. He evens talks about his steroid cycles instead of claiming to be natural.
Honestly, Mr. Piana, I think I owe you an apology, I've always ignore your advice and sometimes trash it. BUT. after seeing this video. I humbly salute you, and thank you for the most real advice. ( real food and label reading). I'll keep an eye on your material from now on. GOOD LUCK!
I agree with the label reading. But this whole thing about "real food" I find that funny. is milk real food? Of course it is. But, its liquid. I thought if it's liquid, it's not a real food. Food has to be solid. If you aren't chewing it, it's not real food. How stupid is that. There are some crappy protein shakes out there, but there are some decent ones and you can easily make one yourself, using real oatmeal and peanut butter. and using a really good quality protein powder.
He was the only businessman who saw everybody as how they are rather than wallet. Rest In Peace
Who’s here after 2 Years of Rich Piana Death. August 27 , 2019 REST IN PEACE
love this guy- "real food" gets you big. Real food and real steroids. Shit, I've been eating fake food and taking fake steroids, now I'll be small forever!!!
he'd be much bigger than most people with or without steroids, and he has a good point about everything he says, its about what you eat, thats what he means by "real food", as in not processed etc.
funniest shit I've read in a while
He wouldn't be this big without roids. Funny when people say "oh he"d still be strong" ya but not a fucking mutant freak. Y'all are delusional
Joe Gabel 40 years of weightlifting, he'd kick ur ass either way deal wit it homie
Chainz Blah hell yeahh
Watching again in 2019 like you are !!!
I was a faithful subscriber to Rich’s channel and it’s truly sad to not have his motivational spirit around anymore.
In 2021.. The best motivation comes from that guy.. Rich was gone but his advice is immortal and important.. Rip...
Tell the "truth" about supplements, then sneak in that you are bringing your own supplements out soon for "only" 15% more progress (hint, no supplement outside of PED use will give you that). Lol, nice marketing. Looks like you fooled a good amount of people with this bullshit. Just get over with the act and sell synthol if you want to be real with your fans.
Preach.
I agree 100%. People need to stop being lazy and hoping some supplement will give them some gains.
Hellllllll yes
Candito speaks troof.
Yo, why don't you shut up and go eat six meals of egg whites and oatmeal. Notsrs lol.
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!! thats probably the first dude in the bodybuilding industry that keep it 100 #real talk!!
One of his best videos, eat real food! Raw and uncut, he lays it out as simple as possible. Real food is always the best! Facts! RIP Rich
Til this day this video is still one of the most relevant in the industry!
Rest in peace piana...u may be the man who took all the juice. But u never told anyone to be like u. You told alltime to be natural.you are always my hero..
Of Course ..... A Muscle Head Celebrity who's *HONEST* and unfortunetly no longer with us.
2024 still watching .
Legend in Heaven
I miss you so much rich. I love that you spreaded the truth about the problems in the fitness industry.
this is why i love rich piana, here he is juust telling it how it is!
Speaking truth from the grave. What a guy. RIP
Its a recorded video. He said it whilst still alive. He is not saying it right now.
@@barakgooroo5082 obviously that's what the RIP stands for tweaker. What you think I was talking about, the muscles? Haha.
Barak Gooroo lmao
2023 and Rich is still the most honest, motivational guy in the fitness industry.
(PS: second to the great Ronald Coleman)
Still watching this Legend 🙏
R.I.P my brother! You were the first in a lot of this in this fucked up industry. I loved all you did brother. You were the best of us!!!!
rich piana is my favorite natural bodybuilder
Lool
lel
You stupid? rich piana is not natural he has 20 fucking years of steroids in his back. He is just honest man.
Ye hes literally known for being open about his illicit drug use, which is why so many respect him.
Purple jeans You must be stupid not seeing this as trolling ;)
One of the best advice and speech ever. First time I'm listening to this 👏🏼 must say legendary!! RIP man but your quotes are here forever.
The only real bodybuilder that ever was and he left humanity behind.
rest in peace
Rich just went higher on my list of people I respect
Thanks for reiterating that no supplement in this world can ever be a replacement of food. The only reason why someone would take protein supplement is to cut down on calories as we are too lazy to cook. Otherwise egg white has just 7 calories and is pure protein.
No, pp is not for cutting calories, while mass gaining period you want to eat more calories, not cut them. The actual use of pp's are for after training cuz the protein absortion velocity is way faster than eggs or a steak. Some pp also contains BCAA, glutamine. Its MILK
forever missed
Rumor has it, all the supplements industry heads got together after this video and made sure Richie wouldn’t disclose anymore secrets.
Think about it.
Yaawwwwn.
The other day i ate expired bread. The gluten free industry heads got together and tried to poison me!!!
Think about it
ok, I have. You are an idiot
THEY KILLED HIM GOD DAMMIT, MUTANT AND OTHERS PLOTTED HIS DEATH BECAUSE HE EXPOSED THEIR BULLSHIT.
The only man who always been honest..humanity will miss u Rich. RIP legend
love this mans honesty and i found his videos 4 or 5 years after his passing.
RIP brother. You were very transparent with your audience and told it how it was. We need more folks who are transparent as you were.
I just absolutely love this man’s energy and honestly. Rest in “Real food!!” my man.
I am subbing solely because of his honesty.
Supplements are junk. Most people do not even know the whey protein market was developed because some marketing weasel came up with the idea of selling the whey protein left over from making cheese, which was always just a waste product that they dumped out like garbage.
That's right, you are paying $20 or more dollars a tub for their GARBAGE. Eat real food.
You also don't need much meat, or meat at all for that matter. Oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa...that is what makes you big fast. Complex carbs. There is plenty of protein in them.
birk bårdssønn sæther PLS STFU.. How much bcaa's you have in eggs or meat? -.-
birk bårdssønn sæther
LOL. I am graduating with a Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition in May and I'm going to med school next year. I love it when people who only know how to regurgitate propaganda that they are not intelligent enough to see through try to pretend like they are superior to me. It makes for a good laugh.
Patrik Baboumian, world's strongest man, vegan. Mr. Natural Universe, vegan. Venus Williams, vegan. Jim Morris, an almost 80 year old bodybuilder that still looks incredible after all of those who competed during his time have either died or look like hammered shit, vegan. Jon Fitch, Jake Shields, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, Mac Danzig, all MMA fighters that would serve you like a little bitch, all vegan. Too many more elite athletes to name.
Your tired, ancient rhetoric only works on those still too weak-minded to see through the lies. The age of disinformation is over for all but the weakest among us.
Love and respect Rich for doing this, Mentzer tried to do the same thing back in the late 70’s and the Weiders robbed him at the Olympia in an attempt to shut him up
MIKE AND RICH RIP GOD DAMNIT
Lee Priest is still telling it like it is though
I owe EVERYTHING to Rich!!.......I put on 30lbs of muscle because of him, most incredible journey in my life!.... I had a fast metabolism and struggled to gain weight my entire life, SO fucking embarrassing, you have No idea.........so I just forget everything "i knew", and listened to Rich and trusted his words instead........and damnit, he was 100% Right!! Took a couple months, and that scale started going up! I was hooked! He also changed my entire outlook on life and can tackle ANY task now.....just a total mentality change....God bless brothers.
